Camera focus stuck! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys I have a little prroblem. anyways camera focus got stuck on one position I tryed two android 7.1 roms ressurection and aicp ,wiped cache dalvik system data,tryed other apps too but no luck.can you advise someting or do I have to replace whole camera module?

Does the same thing happen with a stock ROM? If you're rear camera is stuck, you can buy a replacement on ebay or aliexpress. It's very simple to replace. I just replaced the rear camera on a note 2 sgh-i317m that had a damaged sensor.

well I have not tryed stock rom for years.I had some some serius issues with odin so I dont want to get back to it again.I wanna try some other 6.0 roms to and see if it works then I might buy a new module.hope it wont be ****ty one.

You'll never really know if it is software without trying a stock ROM.
What problem were you having in Odin?

[Q] Camera Error

I always go the "camera error - can't connect to the camera" when taking photo with rear camera.
HOWEVER, the strange thing is I can record video with the rear camera and the front camera works as well.
I've tried to factory reset, still unsolvable. I have this problem when using CM9 by ipromeh.
One thing I notice is I tried to upgrade to KK 4.4 but failed somehow, is that a conflict or a problem and related to my camera problem ?
PLS help me out !!! =<
ps : i tried using camera360, the error poped out is due to security problem o.o?:crying:

Camera not working is a known issue on AOSP ROMs. Many fixes have been put in place but apparently the camera ignores them. It works if you're lucky (apparently u aren't) but doesn't if have bad luck. Try reflashing another ROM. Might work. Worked for me.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

P.S. Time for school, not much time for XDA

Hello
My problem is for the rear camera of SGG I9082 which makes blurry picture
I check into the forum and found that have similar threat for SGS3 where it is proposed to be updates the CAM FW
When I dail *#34971539# and check the Phone to CAM FW Write (rear), it is displaying me:
Invalid Version
Cam FW Ver: A08B0S1GC01
Phone FW Ver: O08B0SAGD01
For the front camera it is make better picture (at lease for 2Mpx camera) and when I check the Phone to CAM FW Write (front), it is displaying me:
This is is the latest version
.... and the Cam FW Ver and the Phone FW Ver are matching
Please advice me what might be the problem that the rear camera is making blurry pictures and if the problem is the above, then please give me the proper FW for my rear camera and advice me how to install it
PS: All other activities like cleaning the camera or set-up it are done and nothing solve the problem
Thank you

Did you flashed a custom firmware?
I flashed CosmicCM (the latest) and had the impression that the pictures were kind of blurred or foggy. I reversed back to original 4.2.2 and the pictures got normal.

No, I didn't do any flashing, I use the original (4.2.2) FW. it seem that for me only the driver for the camera is not installed (or it is installed the wrong one), All the other have no issue
U tried anything
Did u try to do anything via root like deleting some files or modifying something, u can try factory reset or problem may be on hardware base too that some dust may have entered glass of camera and causing dificulty in focus(ur problem was not focusing or not opening rear camera???) u could try using google camera too sometimes some file of camera get missing and u may try third party softwares...Hope it helps

Hello loveymangal
I didn't do anything like deleteing any sys files. About the reset I already try it several times - it didn't help. About the other topic yes they might create the problem, but at the moment I see that the FW of the rear camera is incorrect. If I have the possibility to to fix this issue and see if the problem reamin then I can go to the other possible problems (like the ones you are proposing). If someone can send me the install FW file for the rear camera to try if this is the issue will be great. About 3-rd party SW if you have the possibility to propose me some good will be great
Thank you

well i don't know much about installing of firmware of camera so i recommend u to try a custom rom so to check if installing a new ROM updates or installs the correct version of Firmware. IF that doesn't work try reinstalling your mobile with official 4.2 upgrade so it can go back to factory settings unroot it and give service centre to reinstall the Firmware... Without device in hand actually I can't help much.....Hope somehow your problem gets solved...
Try a Camera app from the Play Store like CameraMX, did you try turning "anti-shake on in camera settings?

Camera focus issues with 2016-devices on custom roms

Hi there
Looks like i am not the only one, that having issues with the camera focus or autofocus on a newer G4 (H815) with custom roms.
It is definitely not a hardware issue, comes with ALL custom roms so far. it does not relates to stock roms (works fine there - tested many times)
marshell has written down a few posts to this issue. check his profile.
Any dev here, who can help?
Or is there any solution on its way?
Cheers, samukinson
My h815's autofocus is running perfectly with Imperium rom

Yeah, i know., but Imperium rom is based on stock. Genisys too.
This bug only applies aosp, cm13, ..., and apparently on newer G4's (2016)

Thanks in advance

Hello Guys, I had serious problems to get the back camera to focus when used on landscape mode. I moved back to stock ROM and didn't fix it, this was bad since day one I get the phone. How did I solve the problem? Replace camera module, now works great...!

Hi there? I've been having this problem too, stock or custom ROMS, where did you get the camera module from? Can you please share the details (prices, model number, seller, etc) if you can?
Thanks
Hello! Actually I did fit it in my local eBay (I live in South America) there are tons of LG G4 who have failed because of the motherboard so finding a replace should be easy but....This phone will continue to give you trouble, try to change it. I was able to receive a refund from Amazon for the whole phone. Good luck!

Camera stops - Nougat.

As I am experiencing problem with my camera on my LG I have to star this tread.
Maybe someone can help me solve my problem.
So last week I have installed the new ROM H-ROM V30 - I was coming from Freedom Rom 7.5.
So my problems with camera started. It is always crashing after launch.
I tried to go back to Freedom and it still no change.
Now someone in the Freedom 7.5 thread advised to go back to stock Nougat - camera bloobs etc.
So I did a clean install and it worked...
For like sometime.
I was thinking I will try again maybe the optional update did it from [ROM][H815] H-ROM G4 NOUGAT [v29a].
So I did only clean 1.0 and app is crushing.
I beg you help me.

I do not know what was it, but after flashing the 2GB clean V29a the camera is working fine. So it was fault of software.
Still, now I am afraid of flashing any type of custom ROMS - G4 without a camera i useless for me

I tried another app and the front camera works, but not the back one. Though with the default app I couldn't even test the front one, it closed immediately.
I know for a fact the camera worked fine before flashing the custom ROM, so it's not a hw failure.
When as the last time you checked the camera with a stock ROM? I searched around and there don't seem to be many people with this issue on the note 2. Your phone's model # is gt-n7100?

Yup, GT-N7100.
Last time I checked the camera was just a few days ago. And yeah I've searched for the issue a bit as well, didn't have an luck unfortunately...
Have you tried this ROM? --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-aicp-12-1-official-nightlies-t3569395/page85
I being using it as a daily driver for months, and it's the best one I ever had for this phone.
Few times I've had camera problems, but automagically resolved just after restarting the phone.
Give it a try, and let us know it this was an acceptable solution.
Best of luck.
