[Q] Camera clicking/ticking noise - HTC Inspire 4G

hi guys,
I started to get this clicking sound from camera yesterday while closing and opening camera app. I never noticed this clicking/ticking sound before. I restarted my phone, took battery out and its still there. Sometimes its louder that i can even notice while holding my phone. Its not coming out from speaker and i checked all settings. Its mechanical and coming out from camera. I have no problem using camera. Everything else working fine. i am on stock rom never rooted. I was wondering if you guys ever noticed this on your phone. I searched on google but didnt find anyone with a same problem on Inspire 4g. Thanks in advance.

No noise on mine. ClearDroid.

It's the lens moving to focus the image for the picture. Mine is noticeable too.

[Q] Camera Bug

I've been having problems with my back camera.. It can take pictures but randomly only shows a black preview of the picture taken and says "no thumbnail" for that picture or half of the picture shows gray or green colors only and also sometimes force closes.. Front camera works fine and I've already tried different camera apps and different roms but still facing this problem.. I've got no problems using video recording though that's why I think this is really weird..
Hope someone could help me out on this since I've got such an unreliable camera that is randomly usable for taking pictures which is really annoying..
I had same problem when I was on ICS but with front camera. I flashed JB and now it's not even showing black screen, it just crashes
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
I finally found out what is triggering my camera not to work properly.. When the device heats up that's when the back camera has issues (maybe since it is located on the upper part of the phone and that's where the phone usually heats up)..
Does anyone have an idea if this is hardware or software related?

Galaxy S6 Camera Randomly Makes Loud Buzzing Sounds?

Hi all,
I wasn't able to find any threads related to this in the S6 forums but I wanted to see if anyone else has this. When I open my camera app, sometimes the camera takes 1-2 seconds to initially focus and during that time it makes a loud buzzing sound. It sounds like a focus motor or something in the camera and the camera output on screen flutters while it focuses. Once it focuses, everything is normal and it doesn't make any more noise to refocus. This also doesn't happen every time I open the camera app, seems mostly random. Has anyone else experienced this? I am already on my 2nd S6 since the first was defective for different reasons and I'm starting to get very disappointed with Samsung quality control.
I have the dame problem.
I don't know if this is normal.
I don't think so
Waiting for some explanations

going to bumps this too because after having the phone for a month this problem has just started to show its face.
I've first noticed a small buzzing just after a boot for 3/4 times and than I had a long one opening the camera. After that it's gone...
I have it also! Started a couple of days ago. I have dropped my phone a couple of times. What about you?
Had this happen for the first time today also. Had hdr off, switched back on and it went away. Coincidence? Phone never dropped.

Relax...is the mechanism of optical stabilization.

I have the same problem. It is also sometimes accompanied by the picture wiggling in wave patterns.

Try to clean up your camera lens.
Did your device take some damage in the past?
Did you take it underwater? (The S6 isn't waterproof anymore...)

But it's not that loud.
Otherways, you can't record videos properly, because the microphone records those sounds.

Same problem here since last week.[emoji26]
I tried hard reset and another camera app (Google photo), nothing work.
I think it's a hardware problem, it occurs after shaking the phone and launching the camera.
I feel that the OIS makes more noise when app is off.

This started happening with my S6 today. I think it's the OIS that poops out. I can make this happen with a light tap with my finger on the backside of the phone with the camera open and using the rear camera. And this happens with all camera apps: Samsung's bundled camera, Snap Camera and Camera FV-5.
Update: ..and just as sudden this started happening, it went away again. I hope it's a bug - with a fix in 5.1.1.
Update 2: No, it didn't go away. It comes and goes. I may need to take the phone to the service centre.
Mine has gotten worse. Almost every time I open the camera now, I have the buzzing.
Just checking in to say that mine started doing this, too, about four weeks after getting it. It does it randomly when I open Snapchat, too.
I am having this problem too on the Sprint version sometimes it is pretty loud. I'm planning on taking to service center I think.
I also get the waves before it focuses. I read on another forum that someone said they went to a Samsung service center and Samsung replaced their OIS sensor so I'm guessing this may not be something that is simply part of the design.
*Update #1*
I just got off the phone with Samsung customer service. The representative actually heard the buzzing from my phone over the phone while I was talking to her. Since the phone is still under factory warranty they are emailing me a shipping label to send the phone back for repair.
I also have Asurion insurance through Sprint but do not want a refurb for a phone that is less than a month old with no damage caused by me.
Unfortunately the turn around time from Samsung is about a 5 business days and that was after they told me 9-11 days in which I said I couldn't be without a phone that long.
So, I plan on going to Sprint to see if they will swap out my phone for a brand new one. I think if it is a manufacturer defect they will replace the phone without going through insurance for a refurb but I am not positive. It they won't swap it out for a new one I will go through Samsung.

Yes it appears to be hardware related.

I tried and initially it doesn't seem to happen when the mega pixels are lowered but I haven't tested extensively.
I went to Sprint today and the technician concluded that he was ordering me another phone so definitely seems hardware related.

Camera issue

Hey guys,*
I asked this in the main S6 Edge forum but no one has responded. Sometimes when I launch my camera, it makes a loud buzzing noise and has trouble focusing. It seems like something is getting in the way of the lens not allowing it to move freely. If I shake really quickly it usually stops and works like it should. I don't know if it's a lens issue or an issue with the OIS. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you found a solution? This is my second S6 Edge. The first one succumbed to the auto rotate bug. Thanks for your time.
Might be a bad phone how long you had it. If its between the 15 days warranty take it back. Or contact samsung.

I've had it since launch. I'll try to see if it's too late to add the warranty first, then go from there. Bummer to have 2 phones that we're faulty in less than 2 months.
image quality has been upgraded
Mine also does this sometimes after it stops making the noise it seems fine and it only does it very randomly

It's becoming more frequent for me, I'm afraid what ever is happening will totally mess up the lens. So far no impact to image quality either, but we shall see.

Pop up camera weird behavior

I had a strange behavior a while ago.
I was riding my bike, the phone was in the pocket and I got a video call for which the front cam would have popped up. When I stopped to check, the camera was partially hanging out.
Started the cam app and switched cams to see if the cam goes up and down, it didn't respond. Then I pushed the cam inside and upon switching to front cam, it won't pop up.
Rebooting the phone fixed the issue. Btw I'm on Havoc 7/29 build.
I'm not sure if the behavior is same on oos as well since I haven't used it long to experience this.
Has someone experienced the same? Is it rom specific or is this a design fault from OnePlus that'd be seen even on the stock oos?

This would be a problem with custom rom, I have never seen this issue on stock rom
