Hi All - I just recently got my hands on a LG G PRO 2 - F350L and noticed that the rear-camera just does not focus at all. I'm wondering if its a hardware problem. Has anyone come across this focus issue and know of any fix for it?
Thanks!
Nikko.
Did you buy it new? Silly question but have you checked its not in Manual focus mode?

i face this problem and i know it is not a software problem.. cuz i flashed kitkat and lollipop and cm13 and problem still exist.
but i do not know to fix this do we have to replace the whole camera and where can we buy one>?
this problem is due to blurness of lense(dont try to clean lense with water or a cloth use only micro fibre cloth other wise it will become more blurry)
i rep;ace the lens with a different one and now it's all good..but lost the ability of stabilization...

Hey, I have a Moto G XT1033. Running 4.4.4.
The only problem I am facing is with the front camera. In bright light the camera's quality is hood. But as soon as I am indoors/in slightly low light, the colours fade. Like, they literally fade. Its all black and white. When I move the phone around I can see some light on my face/subject as if its a bad LCD. I don't think this has got something to do with the camera itself but rather the software. Because in proper lighting, it's excellent.
So, should I use another camera application? I am currently using the Google Camera and the stock one.
Or is this a problem on everyone's phone?
Waiting for help.

Yes, they returned to some extent when my phone was on 4.4.2. On 4.4.4 it's worse.
would would guys suggest..i have a choice but i can decide...ive read ALOT about flex 2 lag issue..is it that extreme..??
I had the lg g 3 and now have the flex 2, with the 5.1 update works great, but performance are similar on g3 and g flex 2, maybe (almost for me) the display is better on G3, the p-oled displays are not for everyone.

which one is it better to carry around and handle?
They are very similar on all . the g3 is a Little bit smaller. The curve in the flex for me are excellent to carry on jeans but like the g3 only if you dont use a tight one. To handle its ok if you consider a 5.5" phone its more like a phablet

i have had everything from the G2, flex 1, G3, and now i have the G4 and the FLex 2, i love them both but the Flex 2 is a powerhouse, i would def go for the FLex 2 instead of the G3
I'm planning also to sell my G3 and replace it with G Flex 2, is it worth it?

Flex is fast, good camera - same as the g3 maybe a bit better- and running 5.1.
On the other hand, G3 has bigger resolution, more ram and has many custom roms. At this point, with bootloader locked I would keep G3 (just for the custom roms, everything else is -for me- better on g flex). So.. Think about what you need in your phone and that is it
If you got a g3 your not missing nothing worth upgrading. Save it until something really good comes out. But for the g flex 2 price you really can't beat it.

This is not a common issue at all. Must be something with YOUR phone. It never happened to me nor I've ever heard about this particular issue.
There are some complaints about Flex 2 screen here on xda, but none like yours.
The only thing I don't like on my Flex 2 is the locked bootloader, therefore lack of development.
The 5.1.1 update solved the lag issues as I expected, battery life is adequate, to me, the screen looks gorgeous...
I, personally, don't have any complaints.

I read a few thread that says the poled display have a grainy display and something about colours tending to go yellowish or something when dimmed or over long usage period.

I don't know about"grainy" but the yellowish stuff you're talking about is the infamous burn in. It didn't happen to me on Flex2, but I've got bad case on my Note 2. But I'm using that one for Google Navigation constantly for years.. I noticed it first time after a couple of months.

There is a very big difference in performance between lg gflex 2 and lg g3
The thread is like comparing oneplus 1 with oneplus 2.
i just sold my g3 and got a 3gb ram / 32 gb rom G flex 2. this phone is amazing to handle . i think banana phones are the future . the screen is very bad compared to the QHD on the g 3 but in a couple of days u wont notice it anymore . phone gets very hot , even with copper shim put in .
its a more interesting phone , it turns heads everywhere .
if u can get it at a good price , go for flex 2

I totally agree with you! Qhd screen is indeed in general nicer and better to the eye but
If you want to play qhd content it needs cpu >=sd 805/810 .....though qhd content or 4k is not very frequent.
Youtube in qhd resolution on the other hand is playable even with snapdragon 800.
i never had performance issues on the g3 ( i had the 3 gb ram var with cloudy rom on it ) . played youtube at 1440p without problems . looked spectacular with some kcal adjustments .
the curved screen is more imersive and can be "fixed" using the vivid setting ( makes it more fake , more staturated , more shiny )
Hi all,
Like the title of this topic says I'm having problems with main camera. I can't get any clear images at all and Ihave tried with a gew diferent apps just in case. Also I've tried to reboot my phone as well as cleaning camera and focus plastics. I've noticed that focus laser is blinking a lot when the camera app is running so maybe it's malfunctioning?
Can any1 shed any light on this b4 I claim my warranty?

I am facing ghost touch issue in poco X2 and the problem is getting worse day by day! Anyone who faced similar problem in X2?
I have touch issues also; the screen registers touches when my fingers are near the screen; it worse for me when charging. If you are in India and bought it from Flipkart; I would ask that you raise it with them as soon as possible. I have asked for a replacement on june 17 and their response is abysmal.
Same ghost touch issue here...

Yes, I also have been facing it since last 2-3 weeks.
I think it might be due to some update in some software, mostly keyboard. I am using Microsoft SwiftKey as keyboard. What about you?
Here we are. Tianma lcd panel? Same problems with poco f1, note 8, note 8 pro. At least about this phones I've been reading extensively. And it's hardware not software problem. I wanted to buy Poco x2 but this thing is obviously deal-breaker. Pathetic
I have been using it for 2 weeks and never had any issue.
I was also facing ghost touches on stock rom but now everything is fine in custom rom...

I'm exactly in the same boat as you with my MI A2 touch issues. I've been researching this too for a while now and looks like I'd have to switch to either Oneplus or Realme. Poco X2 was really interesting but deep down i knew.

Doesn't matter, even the displays from Huaxing in Redmi Note 9 Pro has bleeding and retention issues, so goodbye Xiaomi, i guess.
It's a hardware issue in my case (India)
I bought a brand new Poco X2 on 11th July and got it delivered on 13th July. I have been using Xiaomi phones for the last 2 years so the learning curve with MIUI wasn't much for me, the only thing I needed to get accustomed to was the form factor.
From the very first day, the keyboard used to double tap. While playing PUBG, it would auto press some buttons (reload, backpack etc.). Also, the gestures weren't particularly great.
Initially, I thought it happened because I wasn't used to it, but after 10 days the problem persisted. That's when I decided to do a deep dive. I downloaded several multi-touch test apps, and indeed, it showed the problem of ghost touching. Even while touching the screen once, the max. events would show 2.
On top of this, I faced a very poor screen flickering issue.
I submitted my phone to the service centre on 28th July. They said even though they have not received any X2 with such complaints, there indeed seems to be something abnormal with my phone. It could either be the display or the motherboard or the PCB or the worst - a combination of 2 and 3. So it's either a repair or a replacement at this point. They have asked for 6-7 days, so let's see.
But if you are using the device and facing such issues, don't hesitate to raise your voice.
If you're planning to buy the device, RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS ONE. Don't buy this.

The situation with Poco X2 in compare to other Xiaomi phones is still much better. Poco X2 at least doesn't have miserable tianma panel. Problems will occur but majority of don't get any issues
Hey guys, Got my phone 2 days back. I received a software update the very moment I signed in and I did.
Later through the day I went on checking the cameras. I was in a medium to low lit room and I could see the front camera was blurry. So I tried taking pictures but they did turn out well. I tried gcam but the viewfinder was still the same blurred with good shots after the photo was clicked.
I went outside to check the camera and I could see the viewfinder preview was sharp as it looks on my op5. I went back to the low lit room and the viewfinder turned blurry again. Also I tried video calling and the receiver told me that my video looked like some low frame rate camera.
I received an update later which reduced the blur effect a little but it's very much noticeable.
Anybody else has this issue?
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to be as detailed as possible.
Also I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue. If it's a hardware issue the viewfinder should've been blurred in good light too right?
Also photos when clicked in low-light come out good. The issue is with the viewfinder only.
I'm sceptical of getting a replacement if it's not a hardware issue due to the lockdown delay and all and since it's from OnePlus site I don't get the return option either like Amazon.
Please share your valuable thoughts regarding this and if anyone else's facing the same issue.
Seems like nobody has the issue. So I might rma the device.
Thanks people

I am still trying to understand if this is an hardware problem or software. I wrote on a forum and they told me "sometimes blurry, but its okay with the colours" and another "whatsapp videocalls were always pretty bad, but I faced issue with blurry camera only at night". People answered me like if this is normal for a 1000€ phone...I come from one plus 7t pro and the front camera was better. I don't know what to do, I wait some days to find more discussion about this, if this is an hardware problem I try to replace otherwise I will ask refund...
I'm pretty sure the 7T & both 8s use the same font camera sensor (Sony imx471) so the images should be similar depending on software.

Actually the photos in low light turn out good once you've captured them. They're blurry only in the viewfinder. As such video calls are also blurry since what you see on the viewfinder is what the receiver gets.
To top it all the viewfinder is sharp when it's good lighting out there. The issue is only with medium to low light
Hi, i am facing the exact same problem. I got my phone (OnePlus 8) two days back and I started having second thoughts. I really hope it's a software issue. Spent a lot on this device.
I just bought one plus 8 and I am feeling so regretful as I figured out my front camera blurry, I don't know what should i do
Should I wait for software update?

I had a pixel2xl before the one plus 8. When I compared the quality of the photos in general, I thought that the one plus 8 must be broken. we agree that the camera of the one plus 8 is simply ****...
