rear camera not autofocusing - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

On my t889 the rear camera is not focusing. Front is working fine.It was working fine for 1 year
I have tried cleaning the lens, no plastic on it.
I event gone as far as unrooting the device and installing stock rom. Stock rom with stock setting on camera still unfocus.
Any ideas on whats wrong or could it be hardware issue?
Thanks,

Did you check in camera settings if your focus is set to auto focus or is set to macro? I know if is set to macro the auto focus is not going ro work.

You know that around the lens there's a ring that a focus( at least I think).. is it possible that you moved it?... Why would you take the plastic off??

No plastic tape. No ring. Nothing. It worked fine for over a years and it just stopped. I unrooted and stock rom. Same problem. Its hardware. Tmo sending me new phone. Hello ebay and hello note 3. Im assuming its hardware issues.

Weird camera problem??

So ever since I received my Evo I have had a weird camera problem when I start it up its all purple and strange looking...and I was just wondering if I should have sprint look at it or if its normal when I push the camera down it makes it look normal

Go into applications and force close the camera app. If that doesn't work hard reset the device.

Do that, or you may have to change the contrast settings. I know that happened to another user...otherwise, your camera may be broken.
Your camera is separating off the board. It will eventually fail completely. I'd get it repaired under warranty.

S pen issues

Has anyone else had Issues with the S pen 'making contact' when its only meant to be hovering?
I had a N7105 for a week with no issues...sent it back and picked up this N7100 yesterday. Starting noticing the issue today with a drawing app. I kept making marks when I was hovering!
Any ideas? Do I need to take it back?

I'm getting similar issues so would be great to find out if this is a common occurrence.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I also face same issues and its practically UNUSABLE due to this issue. I found an advise on youtube where removing the cap on the button on S pen expose a potentiometer and slightly turning the screw clockwise reduces the sensitivity of the S pen and can fix the issue. I haven't tried it yet but will certainly do in the near future and update here.
I still have the N7105 boxed and ready to be returned... could I swap the pens or do they only work with the device they are shipped with?

Stylus sensitivity
This is fixable by turning the tiny screw under the button of the stylus there's a thread about it

Cheers, I should have searched for this first.
It was suggested on this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028581
That a firm tap on a hard surface can fix the issue. Some people seem to have had success with that. I've tried it, but its too soon to say if its worked.
I don't plan on tweeking the sensitivity adjustment, because I've only had the handset for 2 days and would rather just return it as faulty.

Well thats that fixed then, a notice board pin and a bent staple later my s-pen is working perfectly!

Well there is none as the camera an their apps are just about the same. But gallery is nicer on the note 2. The only issues I had was recording in 720x480 crashes the camera and had to go to system also and clear preferences to get t running again. But besides that, its just the gallery that just looks and works nicer

I would be more interested in the huge pinkish blurred circle in the middle which is common on samsung but no idea about the dark spot.
Sorry I wasnt really a help there.

The pinkish ks there because the headlamp was shining at almkst 10cm on the paper. Its normal, but what about the black spot?

I had this issue with my iPhone 4 about a year ago. I brought it in to apple and they said some camera lenses are just bad and need replacement. (It occurred randomly, I had a good year of usage before the grey spot appeared.) If you are under warrantee, bring it to samsung, otherwise, any local repair facility should be able to swap the camera out for you (not necessarily cheap).

Best camera app for LG Optimus G Pro

I'm looking for some opinions on a replacement camera app for my OG Pro. With all the options like the leaked 4.3 app, CM Focal, Camera FX... Etc. What are your opinions. Looking for full screen view finder, non intrusive, full featured and fast shooting.

Actually non. Because I personally didn't find any app that does the dual camera and dual video like the stock camera app does.
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
If you want full screen with stock app, just change the resolution to 10mp. Full screen means you have to crop the image because of the aspect ratio of the sensor. I'd rather have the full image and crop later if I want.

I have yet to actually use the dual feature, just seems gimmicky and trying to aim at 2 needed pictures, I don't want to see my "O" face personally.

Focal does the trick for me. Non intrusive, quick shots and has plenty of options. Like stated, dual camera is useless and is just a gimmick.

Thanks guys. After using the 3 options for a few days. I think my daily is going to be the 4.3 stock camera. Dual camera is a fun option, but I would never actually use it for shots.

Focal has way more options and effects built in IMO. Only thing it does not have is the dual camera which I do not care about, it is a gimmick, you may use it a few times to impress friends then it gets old once they all see it.

My experiences with Focal have been very buggy with both my G Pro and S4 Active.
ProCapture is the best. It can turn on/off "Exposure Reset", so we can enhance photos quality of G Pro (a little bit dark in most of photos).
Since you're all bashind the dual camera feature i'm posting this because i'm a very happy user to have the feature and i use it all the time for videos, don't know why you're calling it gimmicky just because you personally don't use it, bought my ogp for 1.power 2.screen 3.ui 4.dual camera :cyclops:

To the OP: do you ever go to torrent sites? If you don't, and you think it's wrong, then you probably won't get why it's so hard to get a good camera on the android phones. See, it has to do with what is known as intellectual property rights. Some people think they own code. And they want to be paid lots of money when really they should be getting paid sweat shop wages.
All it would take is some coding and our expensive phones would be able to cut into the sales of expensive cameras. But the big corporations have to protect their profits.
Why do you think Apple waited so long, too long, to release a big iPhone? Because they knew it would hurt their tablet sales.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
