Galaxy S6 Video Focus issue - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

[Q] HELP!!

Nexus 5 front video camera is dark!
I never posted a thread so hello, but I have a major issue with my Nexus 5. I checked on Google and I couldn't find anyone else with this problem. My front video camera is dark, it's as if the exposure settings are at like -5. That's how dark it is. I also have the camera mod downloaded (my phone's rooted). If you have any answer can you please provide it? THANKS!
Edit: I tried other apps and it's fine, I don't want to use them because most 3rd party camera apps suck. Front facing picture camera is ok too. Therefore it isn't a hardware issue.
Seems like it's the camera mod hack, from the sound of it.
Are you on a custom ROM? It may be interfering with the hack (I'm not familar with the mod.)

I actually took it off to test the actual camera. I was feeling like returning the phone, but ironically the phone fixed itself a couple minutes ago. I have no idea how, don't ask me, but it did. I'll close the thread. Thanks anyways!

front camera blurry

my front camera is taking blurry pictures this is happening from few weeks i considered taking it to service center but maybe you people can help
blurry pictures as in if i take a selfie,the face appears washed out or very cartoonish type if i zoom in it gets distorted and its lacking details its not taking as sharp pictures as it use to take before although rear camera is working fine... please help
I have a similar problem with my front camera. Pictures taken are really ugly, the look like they have a beauty effect on it, or some blur. I thought this is normal...
It is normal. MAYBE rooting can undo the beauty effect, but on stock, beauty effect set to 0 is not really 0

So you say your friends phone does not have this beauty effect??? maybe it is firmware related. I am on 5.0.2. This sounds like a software issue...
I don't use the front camera anymore because the result is terrible.
Are there any others with good pictures made with front camera?

yes his s6 takes better pictures! without the beauty effect unless ofcourse he turns it on and no i dont have any other friends who own a s6 but i just watched many reviews on youtube and it seems this is a problem with our s6 only
and i guess it is firmware related but im on latest firmare of 5.1.1(G920IDVU3DOK9) for my region
maybe it is hardware issue? lens problem?

My camera just doesn't stop shaking. not able to take steady pictures

Hi All,
I have a problem when taking video on my huawei mate 9. Video always shaking if I try to take video with resolution at FHD 1080p [16:9,stereo] and HD 720p [16:9,stereo] with all the setting at default. I had done factory reset but the problem still persists. Anyone facing the same issue ?
Here is the link to my phone and system info and video samples. Also recorded process.

I have never seen anyone report such issue nor can I reproduce it on my device. I'm guessing here, but it seems to me that you have something wrong with the OIS mechanism. I think your best bet would be to use your warranty.

Been searching about this issue but nowhere I could find. I think you are right, I should use my warranty.
Thanks bonecows.

Live Focus on Rear Camera

Hi guys. I was wondering if someone with a rooted device could answer me this. So, since the A8 has no live focus on rear camera, I wonder if it's possible activating it just by adding the same lines of the selfie camera on the camera-feature.xml file on the rear camera section.
Maybe Samsung could have disabled this. Since like the S8 has just one camera and got the live focus. I don't know, maybe the software really don't support it and I could be wrong.

Oh that's sad. Btw, thanks for the answer. Guess I'll have to wait till someone make an workable GCam for the Android pie.

Blurry front camera

I love my pixel 3a, even the front camera selfies (even though it has a fixed focus). The phone takes awesome pictures, also with the front camera.
However, during video call (whatsapp or snapchat), the video quality is very very very bad. I mean like there is water in the lens or something or it just can't focus or its trying to smooth out everything till infinity. I don't get how this is possible. I know android doesn't have the best social media camera (compared to iphone, which is better optimized), but my galaxy s8 is doing whatsapp and snapchat video's just fine and in focus.
Other people have experience with this? it's really a pity, because it's the only thing i really dislike at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
With kind regards

Thanks for your reply Asep,
I am running the same build number as you. Yes I hope it's fixed in the next update. Have you heard other people have this problem? can't seem to find many people with this problem. I would assume many people would have this issue.

Just updated to the July patch. Unfortunately still have the same problem. I guess we're just unlucky and it's somehow a hardware issue. I can't imagine that the rest of the pixel 3a owners have the same thing but aren't bothered by it. I read on reddit of one guy who was talking about blurry front camera, but after phone was replaced the problem was gone.
I've had the same problem! My build number is QQ2A.200501.001.B2. I just got a new Pixel 3a as the last camera just died, but it was also an issue on the previous Pixel 3a as well.
Any news on this? I've found several threads on Google support sites regarding this issue but they've ve all been closed without a solution. There must be more people with this issue though and I'm not sure at the moment if this is a hardware issue or not.
Since last night we're in a serious lockdown here in the Netherlands and this is becoming a dealbreaker, cause the front camera is our most used lifeline with friends and family.
I'm on RQ1A.201205.003 and using WhatsApp for video calls.
Edit: see for example this thread from Google support: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/63843045?hl=en
