Hello,
Got the Note 8 Pro, about two weeks ago, I've barely used it, but yesterday when I attended a birthday party and had to take pictures with the phone, I noticed the camera won't focus at all and the pictures look blurry. Like they're stuck in Macro of some sort... (?)
I tried wiping the lenses with a microfiber cloth, but the blurrines is still present.
Any idea what this might be?
P. S: I've cleared the camera data, tried another camera app and did a factory reset on the phone - nothing helped. The camera just won't focus on anything that's more than 30cm away. The pictures im taking now seem to have a somewhat clear center (assuming everything is 20cm away from the phone) and are blurry around the edges.
(Front facing camera, and the rare wide lense one work normally)
I'd upload pictures but it says I'm a new user so I can't post links
Anyone knows if this is a software issue or it's some sort of a camera malfunction (?)

Did you get an update notification?
if there is an update immediately on your device maybe it can fix this camera problem.
after the update is complete try to wipe all data in recovery menu 3.0

Hi,
Thank you for your answer!
My phone is currently running on MIUI 11.0.3. There's no new update. I've already tried to re download the latest system update. And tried to wipe all data in the recovery mode. Nothing worked.
It's almost as if the phone is stuck in Portrait mode with the bokeh depth effect always on(?)
If I try to focus the camera on something that's close to me, it looks sharp. But everything more than 30cm away gets blurry and unfocused. Wish I could upload a picture

if anyone checks my post it will be easier to understand..
It might be caused by a previous update, possibly the update file is corrupt due to bad network.
try downloading the same ROM recovery file as the current version and make sure it is suitable for your country, you can download it in Mirom ezbox (just type it in google search) and select Redmi Note 8 pro.
after downloading, don't extract it and place it outside the internal memory folder, then update it manually (you can search on google for how to manually update).
please note that you do not choose the ROM version of your MIUI this can make your device Hard Brick
if this method also does not solve the problem you have to downgrade to the previous MIUI version where all cameras run Normal, for downgrade you must first unlock the bootloader you can learn it on the xiaomi or google site.
remember don't downgrade MIUI through the updater, it can also make your device Hard Brick
hope this can help

Ciao, io ho il tuo stesso identico problema, ovvero che sembra come se la messa a fuoco sia bloccata in un punto fisso, e come te nelle altre fotocamere, quindi grandangolare e macro, non si presenta questo problema ma solo sulla principale, dunque, sei riuscito a risolvere ?

Hello
I've just received my Note 2 in the mail today, popped in the sim card and booted it up. Works fine and it's awesome.
When i checked out the camera, it launched fine and i was able to take perfect pictures using the rear camera, but when i switched to the front facing camera, it just came up with a warning saying "Kamera Mislykkedes" (Translated it means "Camera Failed") with 1 button saying "Okay" which would just close the camera app.
If i tried to relaunch it, it would stick to try and use the FFC and simply give the warning again and again.
If i go into Applications and clear all data from the Camera app, it would switch back to the rear camera and thus work again.
But i simply cannot get the FFC to work, i also tried downloading "Pudding Camera" off the market, and it does the same.
I found some other people having problems with older Samsung phones, and it can have something to do with some apps not releasing the camera app correctly after usage. But i haven't installed any apps that didn't come with the phone (except Pudding Camera, but it didn't work before that either).
Anyone got an idea? I really really really really don't want to have to send the phone back already because of a hardware issue, so that's why i'm here.

You can try if face unlook works.

Just a guess here but if a factory data reset doesn't fix it, it sounds like a hardware return sorry.
the exact scenario happened to me but with the back camera
Just flash latest stock rom

What did you do to get it fixed? I have a similar problem
I have a galaxy note gt n 7000 (galaxy note I) and had this camera fail problem 4 months ago. I have even bought a front camera module from china but the product still didn´t get here. It takes more than a month for these stuff to come to my house in Brazil. Well, anyway, I had given up on trying to solve the problem (that´s why I bought the module) and I usually flash 3 or 4 roms a month (love to mess). So, then, I flashed the ROM super nexus on my phone and opened the camera normally, because the rear camera never had problems and guess what... when the camera opened I saw my face. Scared to death. kkkk. Now, it´s my fourth day using the rom and the front camera is working nice.
I don´t believe most of the users are having hardware issues. I think there´s something related to JB update because ppl started complaining about these camera errors after the update... but who knows. Hope u all have the same luck I had.
=)
Hi @ All
i have a big problem with the duo Camera every time it says the lenses are blocked but my hands are far away from the lenses. i tested a lot close up shots same error message, outdoor shot with a lot of light same message.
best regards
I'm having the same problem..
I just got my M8 today, played with it for a couple of hours before unlocking the bootloader. Restored titanium backup after unlocking, everything was fine until I opened the camera. I keep getting the "duo camera blocked" warning, I tried taking pictures for an hour straight but the warning persists and I can't use U-focus or any other duo feature on every picture I take.
I'm on stock ROM and recovery and unrooted. Tried to restore factory settings, no success. Just updated to the newest firmware (1.54.401.10) via OTA but still no working duo camera.
Did you find a fix for it or did you send it back for repairs? I'm a little frustrated because I unlocked the phone before noticing the camera problem...
I have the same problem
After more than 1.5 yrs of using my Note 2, recently I noticed that sometimes the camera focus gets stuck. It seems to be at macro focus distance. So everything close to the lens will be clear, and things beyond that blurred. There is no way to refocus. No matter what I do (using manual touch focus, setting to autofocus, setting to macro focus, setting to video mode, killing the camera app or restarting the phone) it is stuck for some time. And then it just starts to work again by itself after few minutes. Completely randomly it seems. I'd say it gets stuck approx every 5th time when I turn the camera on.
If I look at the lens, while the focus is stuck, the lens, naturally, also don't move as they move when the focus is not stuck.
What could this be? My bet would be an issue with camera, but I'd like to exclude any possible known issue, before I RMA it. I still have few months of warranty. Normally I would be doing the factory reset, but I was kinda waiting for the 4.3 or 4.4.2 update, and fresh flash.
I'm running stock 4.1.2 (still the latest official for me), and it is rooted, and triangled away. Everything else is stock. I use stock camera app. Also I don't seem to have any other problems. When it does focus, the camera produces sharp photos. SO no problems there either.
PS The lens are clean and undamaged, as is the whole phone.
bump
I got a warranty replacement and I'm finding the camera cannot focus at distance. Up to 1 foot it focuses great, but anything farther is a mess. Even with manual focus at infinity it doesn't work.
Sad quality control?
What about with video ?
Give the lens a clean. Take a good look at it and see whether some dust got trapped on the inside. Give it a tap and see if it moves.
With the camera app closed and not in memory try clearing the camera app cache and restarting. If that does nothing try clearing the camera data too.

Same thing with video. I had read about clearing cache/data, so I tried that as well. Even tried factory reset. It seems this camera just cannot set focus at infinity. Used several other camera apps with the same result.
Same here .. Got a warranty replacement for my bricked G4 (boot loop failure) and the new phone has serious camera focus issues. Will not focus on infinity and even at short distances has grainy unfocused pics intermittently. My old G4 camera was amazing even at infinity on max 4.0 zoom super clear pics. This one not even close. Video is the same. Very disappointed. Maybe I need a new Camera module? Any advice would be helpful.
I feel like I need to see what sprint ir LG can find out but sure they will say it works fine but I know better. Arrg!
Hi there,
Did you get a solution for this problem? I have noticed the same situation, focus for close objects, macro, works amazing, but for far objects it's out of focus, I notices for stock and 3rd party apps. I've tried Google camera, Stock camera, LG G5 camera, LG V10 camera, Pro Shot, Camera FV-5, Open camera, this issue also happens for video. I start to suspect that issue it's hardware.
Any suggestions?
My rear camera suddenly stopped working. My phone didn't get any hurt in nowhere, just suddenly it stopped working. I was takin photos since 10 minutes before, I locked the phone and I noticed that Torch tile disappeared. I thought it was a bug and I didn't care anymore. The day before I noticed that even rear camera stopped working, I was trying to take a photo but the "change camera" (from front to rear) disappeared in every camera app I was using, camera apps opened by default with front camera opened. I tried to reflash ROM thinking that it was a ROM problem (even if I was using the same rom since months ago and I've never had any kind of problem), no results. Reflashing everything starting from stock firmware, no results. As a last hope, I tried to replace the rear camera by buying a new one, but the problem it's still here. Could someone that experienced the same problem, tell me where the problem could be? Or maybe some possible fixes, every kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.
Same
I have the exact same problem. After wiping the cache the rear camera is recognised and I am able to take a picture with it (which is not saved into gallery) but about 5 minutes later the option to switch to rear camera has gone and all camera apps (including social media such as snapchat) is stuck on front camera. This leads me to think it's not a hardware problem but rather that of software with which I am running cm13 nightlies that I have updated every day for the past week in the hope it will be patched.
I have this exact same problem on my d855 too..!
Sooooo frustrating, I've been looking everywhere for a fix, tried full factory reset the other day (I'm running full regular stock with no root or anything), and sadly that didn't work either... I'm glad to read someone has tried changing the camera hardware, cos that was I step I've considered taking, but I now know would be a waste of time and money...
But still, the problem persists..!

I don't think that's a software problem simply for one reason: I'm on the same rom and kernel since months and camera worked fine. It stopped working suddenly with no reason.

Yeah now you made me understand why the camera worked for some minutes. I'll try clearing cache after installing new camera module. I'll report the result. Thanks anyway.
Edit: It's not working. At first boot, systemUI doesn't load well, when I reboot everything works fine but rear camera isn't working. Maybe late I'll try with phone's camera. Now I'm using the new one bought some days ago.
same here!!!!! I'm using LOS13.1 on my d855 and i can't fix it... any idea?
What OS are you guys running? Is everyone experiencing the issue on Cm13?
Also try cleaning the camera connections really well.
I have same problem. Although i expirienced it first time on Lineage OS 14.1. Now 30B, but it still not working. I was listening to music through external speakers, and suddenly it stopped working. Music app was "playing" but i couldnt hear anything and when i exit the app my phone just stops working and starts being laggy as hell. Later that day i found out my camera is not working. I tried reattaching cam connector but it did not work...idk if i should order a new camera or it might be a software fix or something
same problem
happened to me after upgrading to 6.0 , downgraded back to 5 with no luck , even opened my phone and released and reconnected the 3 cables inside with no luck at all . don't know what to do
It's "good" to see other people with the same problem as me.
I replaced the camera and it still won't work.
I'm afraid that it might the problem with our motherboard...How can software block our camera even tho all of us fully reinstalled ROMs/Modems etc? It would be awesome if dev would see this and tell us what is the actual cause of this
If you reinstalled the entire OS using a TOT method, no files are left behind. This is more likely a hardware issue.
The Camera module is extremely close to the problematic hot chip on the G3 so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have a d852 in Canada that doesn't get hot and I'm having this problem too. Going to order a new camera since I know this is a hardware issue. Hopefully fixed the issue. Not cool having no rear camera or flashlight
It's impossible Every G3 gets hot...you either are not heavy user or idk...but every G3 that i've held had the issue of overheating at some point...and indeed it can ruin everything...imagine 120C on your processor...that kills everything around it...idk if my processor got that hot as i've seen in some cases it did on internet, but it did go up to 90ish...and that is too damn hot
FIX ISSUE be Done
Hi all .
Problem method for repair
Issue is easy buy new rear camera D855 or this same conector D820/D821/Nexus5 is this same and all works fine I'm tested on my D855 International
