[Q] Camera take blurry pictures

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 doesnt focus

Hi
I buy second new g4,
i have installed marshmallow on it, so with lgup i downgrade it to lollipop.
But now focusing is not working. On marshmallow everything is working :/
What i must to do?
Anyone fix that issue ?
Sadly, I'm beginning to think there is no fix for this . I've asked everywhere on xda, reddit, quora. Seems like others are having this problem was well but no one knows what causes it or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really miss having a rooted phone.
Install genisys rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/05-feb-2016-genisys-rom-2-2-lollipop-eu-t3309035) for LP and auto focus should back to normal.

Mi5s autofocus problem

Hi all
Got new mi5s 4gb vrsion, autofocus do not work when camera start for 10sec-1min , after that all ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZhf2_zmSg
Same thing on oem and eu rom ,as well as few camera apps.
Any help appreciated
Please try autofocus not on a TV, they tend to be hard to focus on. Try it outside in daylight please.
Same thing m8
First time autofocus does not wok for 1 minute, than after than when you start it, does not work for 10-15 seconds.. Works normal for close up objects right on, but for far, no.
Same thing here... Could that be a driver issue?
This issue is known in at least one custom rom. Please make sure that you run an official rom. I believe the xiaomi.eu (not official rom) is also ok.

I'm running latest dev ROM from xiaomi.eu.
I also have the same issue on lastest official China global and China dev
That's not good then Not sure if it's a hardware issue in your case. Haven't read of this issue in the English xiaomi.com forum, so there can't be many with this issue.
I have same problem (4/32GB version). My mi5s arrived today and I couldn`t believe. Now I have two questions in my head "Is that software or hardware" and "Is it possible to be fixed"
I found a workaround (IDK if this works only for me)... Just open stock camera then open and close camera settings (gear icon). The autofocus should work now!
Let me know if this works for anyone else

I have the same issue when I try to take a photo or record a video . We are a lot of people with the same error. You can check the MI5S official forum at MIUI Forum and you'll see more threads talking about the same but there's no anwser from Xiaomi yet.

I'm also looking for a fix... Maybe only a patch for stock camera app until the problem is solved by xiaomi. I'll keep you updated
When I look to /etc/camera directory I can see 3 configs files for imx378 and two specifics for two manufacturers : liteon & semco (samsung). My sensor seem to be a liteon. Could the bug be link to a specific manifacturer ? Maybe a drivers to optimize for a specific manufacturer ?
Some people say that the last EU ROM, 6.12.22, improves the autofocus. Can anyone confirm it?

For me it's the same as on 6.12.8, BUT I tried the unofficial cyanogenmod for MI5S which seems it hasn't any issues in camera autofocus
I have the same problem.
But shaking, or knocking don`t help.
Even if i wait 15-30-60 sec, autofocus don`t work.
But first 2 weeks it works perfectly.

Hi chikkiarce,
You might need to supply a little more information about your problem if you want to get it fixed. You said the camera isn't working well. Do you mean it isn't working at all? Or the stock camera app crashes when opening? The image quality isn't great? Or, is something specific not working?
I have seen that on some of the Hydrogen ROMs they suggest you install the Google Camera from the Play Store to fix crash issues. If you're experiencing crashes maybe you could try that?
If not, let us know exactly what's going on and maybe someone can help :good:

dear sir,
i mean the stock camera is working with bad quality and i think its google camera too which i flashed from the gapps i think and when i try to update it from playstore after updating the camera shows nothing only black screen it cant read whats in front of it in both rear and front facing cameras the screen is still showing black so i tried to uninstall updates and now its working as stock app but quality is my issue plz help
If you want to fix the camera, you just need to add the following line to the build.prop
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
It worked like a charm for me
problem fixed by not to install gapps based camera app ,the lineageOs stock app is working fine but i have found that all of the sensers comes with this device r not working even auto roatation is also not working so for checking the system n hardware i have installed senser testing apps but all of them r showing msg that there is no sensor in this device or some r showing hardware not supported please fix this bug developers plz i knw u r the best ?
I got the same problem
My hydrogen's camera also crashes from time to time. Especially that it cannot record any videos.

This only unlocked some senior features like dynamic ISO value / shutter value show and custom shutter speed. But this is not the thorough way to solve.
dont install gapp camera while flashing gapps do select custom installment option and then select exclude google camera and any related app the lineageOs stock camera is working cool if not check lineageOs update and do update to latest version it will work remind this all we are using roms are developed by developers so they do try fixing bugs time to time so always be updated from all roms n apps and i urge developers of lineageOs please provide network traffic option ,a screenshoot option and if possible please provide charging animation also i got antutu score around 76000 in this rom 81000 in ressuraction remix 5.8.0 and highest in darkness redifined as 84k-86k more than iphone 6 all r based on lineageOs and compiled with similar roms and i found darkness redifined is the best but it crashes while checking for update version but it is very fast n smooth rom i liked it but i want to stick on official lineageOs thanks developers ??

I have the same issue. Force closing the app temporarily seems to fix the issue for me.
I can't solve this even force clossing the app, i think i will use stock camera until an Update from any Gcam work well again

What OTA version do you have guys?
I was facing that problem when I was have 10.0.01
But it fixed in 10.0.02
I recommend to you guys should flash V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF and update to pie from settings.
After updating to pie hard reset could be good.
Sorry for my bad english

I think I'm in 10.0.4 but have the same problem. Could somebody find a solution? I tried by hard resetting and installing gcam again (with root), but still have this issue. :'(

Fix focus by switching to video mode the back to photo
I get this since updating to pie including the January update in any camera app that uses the camera 2 api - seems to be unable to focus, I find in gcam switching to video mode let it focus then switch back to photo mode sorts out the focus for a while, when it goes blurry I switch to video then back again and it works again, annoying but able to take lots of pictures using gcam perfectly fine apart from this.
In another note I find only some of the gcam ports even start up correctly, so still trying lots out.
yes seems to work "a bit" but you are not really sure anymore whether it's properly in focus now... sometimes it's just slightly not in focus, sometimes looks properly in focus... night mode became very hard to use now
Hello guys. I'm on stock rom on Pie with January update. I also have the same focus problem. But I just noticed that the focus works perfectly in short video mode.
You can use the 16:9 on photo mode, this fixed the focus issues on Pie for me.

I'm alway in 16:9 and for me it doesn't work. I've to say that it does it when the light is low but before it wasn't behaving like this... the only way working for me is to switch to video mode to focus and than back to camere and take quickly the pic... really you didn't notice this issue in low light? Which camere are you using? Thanks
16:9 does work much better. But is there any chance getting it work with 4:3? Why is the focus so bad there?
I solved this problm. If ur rooted simply install pixelarity module it will change ur device specifications and build no. This will fix all ur gcam problm... Thxx me later
