Seems like possibly damaged hw when changing battery. If it's the same on all roms, likely hw.

I bought my phone 3 weeks ago and all was fine until yesterday.
suddenly my back camera can't focus at items that are far then 5 cm.
I tried to install other camera app but it didn't work.
I tried to restore the camera to default and it didn't help.
front camera works well.
anyone can help?
Might be general problem?
I can only tell that focus of the back camera seems to be very sensitive towards fingerprints and dirt on the lens as well as low brightness. Couldn't get a single good shot in the evening. But if you have focus problems with a cleaned lens on objects in direct sunlight it's obviously a different problem.
Autofocus problem
I ve the same problem on my p8000. Autofocus on back camera doesn't work. I ve installed also Camera fv-5 app and it said me that autofocus doesn't work... Could be that same FOTA update has genereted the problem?
I think it's difficult it is an hardware problem...
I have the same problem. I tried multiple different Roms and Kernels and still the autofocus is not working. Also the headphone jack just stopped working.
I am starting to hate that peace of crap. And elephones service = Zero.
Its a good concept by the way to build high tech phones with hardware that breaks after some weeks and software that only works partially so that you have to flash a rom to get nearly everything working but you loose your warranty doing that.. I will never buy a "cheap" china phone again.
same problem with my p8000 version B, when i using banking deposit check, can't auto focus. hope someone can fix it
I am too facing the same problem. However, I tried Blueflame's CM and it was working well. So I guess there is something wrong with the binaries. It would be great if someone could prepare a flashable zip for fixing it.

cm still no work, you can look like auto focus, but not very helping , when you using banking apps deposit check, will have auto focus problem
have the same problem after it fall off the ground. seems like a hardware failure
really like the phone but cant use the cam anymore. **** happens
I have started with the stock ROM, and used cm13, and even updated to the newest fully stock ROM 3.2.4 and to no avail.
The camera app either force closes or nothing shows up on screen. Every once in awhile the front camera will work, but I'll click the icon to switch to the rear camera and no effect, it just stays on fron t camera.
I've tried many third-party apps, I've tried cm camera fix, everything I can think. Clearing data and coach for the app the whole shabang.
Now I'm ordering a brand new camera module and I will see what happens. But any help and any information will be much appreciated thanks
Was it working when you bought it...what did you do to it before it broke?
it definitely seems like a hardware issue, had it been a software issue a custom rom or 3rd party camera might have resolved it and since you have tried many roms and reverted back to stock too so it doesnt look like a software issue.

Funny you should ask, because I honestly don't know when it actually started but I do remember wiping userdata so I could unencrypt my phone and thereafter was when I noticed it no longer worked. Don't know if those 2 things correlate because I flashed back to stock (which is encrypted) and still no luck
Did you solve the camera problem ???
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

Thank you. Yes, the camera worked perfectly fine before, just hardly ever used it.
For a few months ago, my M30's front camera doesn't work. Sometimes the rear camera works but when I switch to front, the app freezes and then I've got to close it. I tested front camera by dialling *#0*# but it says FAILED!!
Any solution anyone?

I checked just now, it works fine. I tried various angles. Everything works fine. As I asked, it may be due to some hardware trouble or something triggering it.

I read on Samsung Community that a user with the same camera error had to go to service center and had the motherboard changed. I believe it IS a hardware issue

Yup, does sound like hardware issue. Just FYI, Samsung current charges are exorbitant, and they in some countries FORMAT whole data even for smallest of things, irrespective of hardware or software issues (f***ing idiots). So, please beware of the 2 points.
