I was wondering if there was some mod or some way you can disable the phones camera from autofocusing in video mode at night time as it is a problem for me especially when filming fireworks and the phone would un focus and re focus at least 5-10 times in a 15 minute timeframe and it would be nice to just completely disable it temporary at night. I am using CM9.
When I take a photo on my N3, set to 13MP and auto mode, every time after I snap a photo I have to wait 2-3 seconds while it's "Processing" before it let's me take another photo. This has to be some kind of bug right? Burst mode is never going to work if it has to spend so much time processing a photo before shooting the next one. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Seems the slowness is due to using the Smart Stabilization option. Turning that off fixed the issue.
I just got this phone 2 weeks ago (this Wednesday) and I noticed this issue right from the start. But then it started working fine and now it's not working again tonight.
Basically when I open the camera app, it will not focus on anything other than extremely up close. No matter where I tap, it's all blurry outside of like 3-4 inches from the camera.
I did some searching and found a link on androidcentral but nothing stating for sure if this issue has been fully resolved now. Clearly it hasn't for mine. Has anyone experienced this and found an actual fix or do I need to swap this out with the hope that it doesn't happen again? Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I searched for 'focus' so if there's a thread already about this that I didn't see, please direct me there and close this up!
Thanks!
My gf got a note 4 (white) abt a week ago. And she coulnbt take pictures at all initially because it wouldnt focus on anything. (Never tried macro type pic to see if would focus on something close)
She ended up handing it to me to figure out and after i changed picture modes. And switched back to auto then the issue resolved itself and hasnt returned.
Fwiw my note 4 (black, purchased 10-16-14) never had this issue.

Oddly enough I think I'm having the same issue. Just got my Note 4 a few days ago, and I've found that when I launch the camera app, it either doesn't focus at all, or takes extra long to get into focus. I can see the little target image progress as it tries to focus, but it just keeps trying and fails. Every once in a while though, it will correctly focus. So the camera certainly is capable of properly focusing, but I'm not sure if its a software thing (my first conclusion) or a hardware thing (probably not).
same here
same issue i noticed if you put your hand up to the lense then slowly remove it and point it somewhere in the distance it will focus
im gonna try that solution though thank you!
Same issue hereon my wife's phone. Noticed it from day 1 but wasn't able to go back to the att store until day 17 after purchase. They would not budge on swapping the device since I was past 14 days. My only option is a warranty replacement, but I will hold out for now to see if a software update fixes the issue as I would rather not have a refurbished device. A quick shake of the device and it focuses. If you exit the camera app after it initially focuses and go back to the app it works fine. It only seems to be an issue when the camera app is not used for a while.
Its weird because I use another camera app (like the Google Camera one) and it will focus just fine, but the default Samsung-installed Camera app will sometimes fail to focus or sometimes will work just fine. So it seems like it may be a software issue.
The camera on my G4 likes to turn on by itself when I either unlock the phone or sometimes when I put the phone down.
Also the camera is very slow to focus/take a picture at times.
I'm on the latest firmware from LG/VZW.
Anyone else see this?
Anyone else getting a stutter when opening the camera for a split second? Only happens when the camera hasn't been opened in over 30 minutes or so.
No. Try clearning cata/cache for the camera app and see if that helps.
