Is anyone else having a problem with the camera no focusing. I've tried everything but a factory reset and my camera will not focus.

I have noticed that as well on my Sprint S6. It happens alot. Normally i have to turn the phone sideways and it will focus. Is there maybe a setting we don't have on or something?
I haven't tried that yet thanks for the tip will try that now.

I hope that someone can help, my camera will not focus anymore. Every picture that I take, other than close up, is blurry. I've tried turning the Auto Focus off and then on again, restarting, and cleaning the lens, but nothing has worked.

Have you rooted your phone or loaded a new rom? If so, return it to stock and see how it does. If not, or problem is still there after you revert to stock it sounds like a defective camera and you need to exchange your phone.
Just got the phone today. I love it. But for some reason, the auto focus isn't working on my camera. I've tried everything. Played around with different settings. I've taken about 8 photos. All have been blurry. Any thoughts?

Try a factory reset. If that doesnt work then return the phone. This phone has one of the best cameras I have seen on a phone.

Tried everything. Camera is defective. Sent it to Samsung to have camera replaced.
Hello,
so for the past few weeks my camera hasn't been working and I finally decided to ask you guys for help.
It all started when I wanted to try RR but it kept asking for 21C modem so I quickly downloaded one and flashed it. So I checked what I needed and restored Fulmics from the nandroid backup I made, but the camera app stared to just crash and since then I pretty much don't have camera.
What I've tried till now:
Restoring to stock
Flashing Fulmics again
Replacing the camera
Still can't resolve this issue...
By restoring to stock, do you mean flashing a TOT or KDZ file?
If you have done that and still not working you have something broken in your hardware.
Is the front camera working?
I guess you have already tried a different camera app.

Sorry for the late reply. I used the kdz file. The front camera is working. The thing is that yesterday the camera worked for a few minutes just fine. It's strange.

Ummm... sounds strange... maybe your camera is partly broken, did you drop your phone or something before this problem? If so, the camera could have a bad connection to the motherboard or is about to die.

I know right? I've never dropped it. I replaced the camera so I wonder if it can somehow be a software problem...
Just wanted to bump this as I STILL have this problem...
Same issue here, was running fulmics for several months with no issue, then suddenly and out of nowhere my camera app started to fail. At first the front camera looked stretched and weird and some app buttons dissapeared such as flash, but I could still choose front or rear camera and both worked fine. Then it got worse and the button to switch cameras dissapeared completely. I tried re flashing fulmics, tried xenon rom, tried back to stock... nothing so far. I tried booting in safe mode and the camera app gives me the option to choose rear camera but when I press it the app crashes.
I hope someone can find a fix for this!

No software update inbetween? Sounds like a hardware issue, try cleaning your connections and reattaching the Camera tightly.
The camera module is extremely close to the problematic overheating chip in the G3, so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have Exactly the same problem.. Pleaaase someone give us a solution.. Fulmics ruined our phones
I have that same problem. Resolved?
There were fulmics rum. I decided to replace it with RR rom. The rear camera did not work, the flash did not work.
I installed a different kernel but it was not resolved.
Help plsss
Had to do a Zoom meeting and figured I would just use my tablet but found that neither camera was working. I rebooted, cleared cache, then finally did a factory reset to no avail.
The stock camera app doesn't give me anything on either camera.
I tried installing a 3rd party camera app and found that the front facing camera works, but I can't get the rear camera to do anything- it just stays black. Also, if I start with the front facing camera that is working, when I switch it to the rear camera, the app hangs with what was showing on the front facing camera.
Is there a chance that this is a software problem? Has anybody else had any issues like this? It is totally up to date, stock software. No root, no drops, cracks, nothing. Tablet could sell as brand new so I don't think it could be an issue from any sort of bending or impact.
Any help would be appreciated. I have searched all the normal forums and sites for camera issues but have found nothing. I also created a case with Samsung last week with absolutely no response.
Strange! Since you have never modified your device, first thing that comes to mind would be to clear data of camera app but since u already did a factory reset, try flashing stock firmware again. Could very well be a hardware problem, had a similar problem with my iphone. Take it to the samsung service centre if flashing doesn't work. Btw, has your camera worked well in the past? Gcb

Yep same problem, you can solve it by tapping to focus before pressing shutter, and also night mode during the day seems to work too
When I manually updated my phone I had the same issue. Try to wipe cache partition in the recovery. It worked for me.

Tried that, didn't help, it's trying to focus which is why tapping to focus first fixes it, hopefully fixed in another update
I'm also facing this issue, I'll try the tap to focus and see if this helps until they fix it
Maybe try to clear data for camera app? I've read somewhere that it helps.

Tryed but doesn't help.
I have the same problem. I tried all your suggestions and still takes at least 5 seconds to take the picture. In Live focus is even worse rejecting completely to take the picture. Any other suggestion, please ?

Yes, hence this thread
Tap to focus before hitting shutter fixes it, then wait for an update from Samsung for a real fix

Hello i have exactly the same problem on my galaxy ultra.
This focusing problem is really frustrating.
I hope Samsung will fix it in the next update.
