Camera won't focus? - Verizon Droid Charge

So for some reason my camera is always blurry now and will never focus even when it says its focusing. I tried cleaning the lense, that's not the problem. Any ideas for help?

When the camera is on, shake it. Does it rattle? Then your aperture (or whatever its called) is broken.

Something always rattles inside the phone for me. This is coming from testing 4 droid charges, 1 of them CLNR.

Disable softkey backlighting?

Is it possible to disable the backlight for the soft keys?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty sure there isn't a way but don't quote me on that. My logic is because it seems the backlit keys use the screen light to actually become backlit they aren't like a separate area really.
I think they are on a separate sensor. In CM7 they would be off a lot of the time.

Yes they can be disabled.

You can try the LEDS hack (root) from the market.. I know it works on the inc, haven't tried it on the thunderbolt though I know it's not listed as "supported".. worth a shot
Could you point me in the direction I need to go?

Leds hack is a no go. Thanks though.

There are two LEDs at the bottom of the phone that light the keys. I accidentally covered them up when replacing my LCD so I have no backlight for the keys now and...I kinda like it! They aren't bleeding into the screen now too.

They can be disabled in the kernel.
You can disable them.by editing the framework also =)
App called "screen filter" has the option for it. Only lasts as long as its open though(runs in background, open in notifications). But it does work.

Ughh I've been trying to get this working for a week and no luck. Anyone have a good solid solution to disable the backlight?

Disable softkey backlight

Is there anyway to disable the softkey backlights? I've tried LEDs Hack and Screen Filter and neither work.

Very helpful. I know there's a way to do it even if no one's thought of it yet. If I have to I'll just desolder the LEDs and bridge the spaces. I'd rather do it with software though.
Or just like get electrical tape and cover it up itll still work

a little crude, but might work. I suppose I could trim it with an exact-o knife.
Its what I used to do, but I got over it so I just used a privacy guard screen protector and its kinda blocks it out too

No.... eyes hurt at nite... im trying to keep brightness all the way down as possible...rite now aint got no choice to use a dark glasses but just wondering if someone have found out how to..!!

it's a bit of a leap but there's film you can get to cover automotive lights. Maybe a clean rectangle or appropriate shape cut out can at least dim them some and be more durable and cleaner looking than tape. Heck... window tinting material might work. Although I don't know what these methods would do to any touch sensitivity. Ideally you would still see the lights, they would be dimmer and still function.

Slow video recording autofocus

The lens takes at least two seconds to auto focus in video recording mode while the iPhone 4s is instant. I know this problem is rectified for galaxy s2 owners by downloading lgcamera app which allows you to change the auto focus mode, but the app doesn't work properly for us. Is there any solution for us skyrocket owners?

Kamcorder in the market is working well for me but I am still looking for something with more settings.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Thanks for the useful reply.... That app does nothing for auto focus
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It auto focuses just fine for me ??? Sorry it doesn't meet your needs
(When you mentioned LG cam I got the impression you were looking for an app, kamcorder is what I started using when I found LG cam did not work)
I guess if you were looking for iPhone functionality I could give my typically Icrap response....get an iPhone

How could this even possible? Does anyone know what is wrong with ny camera?

Here is some.pictures of the.problem I'm having
I don't know what is wrong with it. I was video calling with my friend, and I suddenly noticed the issue. I was using Tango. I thought something went wrong with the camera app, I did a factory reset. Bit it did not work. I reinstalled ICS, and it did not work as well. How could this even possible?
Thanks in advance.

What rom are you on.

Have you tried downloading a 3rd party camera app from the market and see if the problem still persists? If it does this with a different camera app also, I would suspect a hardware problem and would take the device back to at&t for exchange.

This may be completely wrong, but those pics remind me of cartoon mode. In settings, what it's the shooting mode?

Keyboard LED

I think it might just be my phone but everytime i use the physical keyboard in light the led on the keyboard doesnt turn on but when i use it in the dark they turn on. Has anyone notice this?
ERrr I think the light sensor controls that. Especially if you have it to set auto.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
Mine does that, think it is a power saving feature. Uses the sensor by the earpiece much the same way as the auto feature with screen brightness.

It is a feature of the phone. I work for the sprint store, and our rep tried to show us that like it was an actual selling point. If you put your thumb on the sensor between the speaker and the camera the light will come on.

Not to my knowledge, at least not on the stock rom. CM7 had settings you could adjust, I imagine when CM9 hits we will see the same.

I stand corrected, thanks.
