[Q] Gear 2 Camera blurry - Samsung Gear 2

Hello guys,
My gear 2 camera stuck on blurry and I can't do anything about it. I've tried so many ways changing Tizen versions, formatting and rooting the gear 2 ,,etc
None of them worked and its been almost 6 month my gear 2 camera are useless, Can anyone help me to fix this issue?
Is it related to hardware or its software?
Thanks for anyone who have a clue to help me out.

It's a known issue so I was told camera gets stuck in macro mode, try doing a close up shot to confirm.

The focus mode is on Automatic but still working as micro mode!
So it means there is no solution?

As your last resort,
unscrew and check the flex cable (going from lcd to the mainboard)
Thanks! Can you tell me how to this?

so any idea? :S
well opening the whole thing destroys your guarantee right? and a hardware problem like that is a guarantee case if its brand new so why didn't you send it in? if you haven't opened it yet send it in
To late, besides I'm in the southern part of Mexico doing pro bono work and is the only way for me to go online, so guess I'll have it fix once I get back. Thanks anyway.

Galaxy S6 Video Focus issue

Hello lovely XDA forum.
So my big problem is when I'm recording a video my camera doesn't focus perfektly.. Watch this 2 videos than you will know what i mean. "Sorry i cant post the 2 video links because new here in this forum" It's just focusing when I manually focus it but it's always blurry when it try to autofocus. And yes I also try to reset my phone and this also doesn't work and I also go to the samsung store and all what they did was a software update and they really told me they will change the camera.. I hope someone can help me with this problem..

If they offered you to change the camera, DO IT ASAP! these camera issues once started will keep on incrementing day by day. So, either get your phone replaced or get your cam module changed! Cheers :good:

Horizontal Bands on Gear S2 Screen

Has anyone ever seen an issue like seen in the picture (horizontal dark bands across the Gear S2 screen). I've only had the watch two weeks and this happened. I've tried soft and hard resets to no avail.
I have the same issue and can't find an answer to it anywhere. My S2 is only a week old

Since it is still under warranty I filled out an online request for service. They emailed me a shipping label and I sent it off to Plano, TX on Saturday. The status today says "Replaced LCD" and now it's back in the mail to me. We'll see...

No. I actually fixed it today. There was a recent firmware update on the watch and one of the custom watchfaces that I had previously installed must've been causing the problem. I did multiple factory resets, but I keep trying to keep the watchfaces that I had already downloaded...that wasn't resolving the issue. I did a complete factory reset today and wiped out all the custom watchfaces and the problem disappeared. I'm happy now!! Thanks Mikoube for your help!!
You're welcome
Hello! I'm having the exact same issue. Can you explain what you did to fix it? Did you erase all the downloaded faces and then do a hard factory reset? Or vise versa? I'm at work right now and would love to achieve your same results since it happened 2 hours after my Warranty expired ??.
Here's how I fixed mine: Sent it back for repair. Waited a week. Received a fixed watch.

Hey shinta,
The fact is that one off your watchface is causing trouble to tizen. So Try to make a full factory reset. It should solve your issue.
So i got these same lines on my device lastnight. It is mainly noticable when I turn on Aod. I dont want to bother with rma on a 2 month old device if this is going to fix itself. I tryed a few resets and its still there now. I dont mind waiting a few days though.
edit:
My gear s2 screen is working fine now. It only had the lines for 3 days. I will keep a close eye on it though and update if it returns.
Same issue, I did factory reset and deleted all downloaded Wacho faces . Still the problem!

The bands were back a few weeks ago... I figured that when I set the brightness to "1", the band are little and when I put on "10", they are bigger.
So I tried to let the watch during 1 day with a brightness of "1". The day after all band were gone...
Hope this can help some of you guys.
Enjoy.
Same problem with the screen of mi gear fit 2 band, resolved only changing the screen

Same problem here, I turned it on, and it was fine, then I UPDATED a few apps and faces and lost network, after that the problem started, so I belive its a software issue and not hardware, could be coincidence, its a month old watch...
My watch is 5 months old and I just have this problem last night

Galaxy S7 Touchscreen Problem

Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!
There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

go to samsung store
Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.
Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

Voice Input problem with Gear S2 Classic, Please Help!

Hi. I've recently purchased Gear S2 Classic, updated to the latest firmware and smartphone apps/plugin/service.
I am facing a strange problem with voice recognition. S-Voice App on the watch works 100% perfectly, and can easily recognize and transcript my voice. However, in all other apps, when I try to use voice input (like when I reply to a message), nothing happens! as if I am not even talking. The problem also happens in Voice Memo app on the watch, where I can record my voice but the option to convert my voice to text doesn't work. I checked the audio recording quality on my smartphone and it was fine and clear. The watch's microphone is working alright, but for some reason anything except S Voice App cannot use voice-to-text input.
To recap: The problem is NOT S-Voice. it's voice input (which may rely on S-Voice, I know). But S-Voice app itself on the watch is working just fine all the time. My issue is limited to using voice input (voice-to-text) in other apps.
As for the internet connection. I tried both 4G and WiFi (24Mbps broadband), through Bluetooth and also directly connected the watch to home WiFi.
Any idea? Please Help!
My devices info:
Gear S2 Classic: firmware DPFB / Language: English UK
Samsung Gear v2.2.16070451
Gear Plugin v2.2.03.16082251
Samsung Accessory Service v3.0.24_160630
SASystemProviders v2.3.99

I bought my watch just 2 weeks ago, so I can and will still get the support from Samsung. I've got a phone call scheduled on Monday regarding this issue with the tech department of Samsung ... pray to God I get to phone with someone who knows what he's doing ...
I'll keep you guys up-to-date.

I fixed mine this morning by going into application manager on phone and deleting the data on the S-voice application. Try that.

Hmmm, I got my Gear S2 connected to a Sony Xperia Z2, so I don't have S-Voice installed on that :crying:
oh...hope you find a fix soon.
long shot but how about clearing the cache on the gear apps on phone?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Same here. Worked in the beginning then stopped. Sent an e-mail to Samsung support but no reply yet. Speech-to-text-recognition on the Gear should be independent from S-voice app on phone, no? I had the latter disabled already when speech to text still worked with the Gear.
you could well be right and it was just a coincidence...just glad mine's sprung back into life.

Tried that already, but that only makes me reconnect everything ... so no improvement by that.
I also contacted Samsung support online and in person, and they told me it's possibly permissions-related (on the watch) and can only be fixed by an upcoming firmware update. However, their final definitive answer is still pending. They promised to contact me within a couple of days.
Hey,
I've recently talked to a Samsung tech and he said that this problem was a general issue with the Gear S2 at the moment (apparently server-related). There is no fix at the moment and they can't do anything. They've forwarded the problem (since it is already known) to the guys in Korea and they have to resolve this issue somehow, either with a software update or some server fix.
He furthermore told me that they don't even get noticed, whenever the Korean guys fix a problem, so I should just keep on trying the feature now and then.
Let's just hope, they won't take long
Update (2016-10-13): Works like a charm now, they seem to have fixed it.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that Voice Input (STT) on my Gear S2 is now working again. I didn't do anything at all. I guess it was, in fact, a server-side issue that has now been resolved.
Let's know if it is working for you too.
Thanks to everyone for your contribution!
I'm hoping someone has come up with a solution. I've been experiencing this same issue for the past couple of weeks with my Gear S2. I've cleared out the cache history and I've even reverted to factory reset on the watch. Still, nothing. HELP!
I have a same priblem.. but even by cleare the cash nothing happend. It doesn't work yet.
Same here I have tried everything and it is so frustrating! One of the main reasons why I have a smartwatch is to be able to voice reply to messages.
Anybody found a solution yet?
