Anyone else have camera focusing issues on their J7? - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

My wife and I both got the 2015 J7s from Virgin Mobile. Both of the camera apps seem to pull focus constantly. Like if I hold the camera perfectly still the camera will still try to focus repeatedly even if I tap the screen for touch focus. I've seen a good amount of complaints online from other people about this too.
I installed Opencamera and the focus works there perfectly so this seems to be a software issue. Unfortunately, Samsung has not implemented the Camera2 API on this phone so Opencamera has limited features.
Anyone else have focusing issues with the camera? Is there any solution or way to access the Camera2 API on this phone?

My imei is null after flashing Rom
And now my SIM is not detected in this mobile
I tried flashing stock Rom via odin nothing works throws errors as 'sw rev secunity check fail device 3 binary 2' and ' security check fail bootloader'
though I flash latest Rom!
If I flash custom Rom still SIM is not recognised
Help me how to fix?

[Q] Camera focus issue

I've just received my new LG yesterday and I noticed the camera focus not working probably, i thought the 20f update would fix it, but it didn't, I've searched online for the most common ways to fix this issue and non worked, the focus issue is also in all the camera apps that i installed.
Sadly I don't live in the US , so does anyone know a fix that doesn't require hardware fixing?

Camera Focussing issue

Hi,
I brought Moto G last week. 2 days before i noticed an issue with my rear camera. After taking 2-3 photos it goes blur. Even if i restarted the camera app, Same issue is showing again. I informed this issue to Flipkart. They told me to install an app called Smartcheck. They remotely checked my device and told that there is not issue with my device. I updated all the apps even android latest update too. But still showing the same issue. can anybody help me to fix this issue ?
Are you using the aosp camera? I had the same issue with that app, myself on a CM -based rom. I had to switch to the google camera app, and everything worked just fine.

Android Q Developer Preview 3 coming to Xperia XZ3

Someone tried it?

I tried, but the problem is that the Xperia Companion gives me an error saying that my device doesn't support Developer Preview.
I will try to flash a non Operator customized firmware.

That's what you will need to do. Carrier branded firmware not eligible for beta
Anyone try Camera2 probe APP on Android 10 Beta?
Maybe support RAW?lol
Mine had EE UK firmware, I changed to Custom US firmware to try the Q preview mode.
All I can say is that it's not worth to leave 9 behind just yet. It's pretty much stock Android without Sony stuff in it, kinda miss it already, but all in all I only noticed one bug.
Connecting earphones with Jack will still have the speakers playing music, but you're fine with Bluetooth connection.
The gesture thingy is pretty weird by the way, fortunately there's the option to go to the classic three buttons.
Don't know if this answers you question but here's a snapshot of the raw Info
Tried it last night, some of the open issues makes it quite unusable.
Setup wizard can sync down backup data from google account/cloud, but not restore via BT/Wifi from other Xperia device
Delay with black background after the “Android Beta” information is shown before entering home screen
Camera functionality and quality are limited compared to Xperia SW
Camera button press is not starting camera, but double press on power button starts camera
Chromecast does not work for audio/video as cast icon is not shown
Media playback support is not on par with Xperia SW.
External SDcard is not fully supported for media playback and MTP
Audio routing with PHF is not fully working
Adoptable storage is not supported
Sd card is basically useless. So is dual sim.

Thank you bro.
It looks still not support raw
Hope xz3 can use Gcam on Q
This is a copy from the website and seems to not give a full actual experience..... I've been using all day and it runs well .... The Google cam app that's in it is crap bit I've installed open camera and it works great ...... And I can also play videos and use the SD card as normal ... No issues ....... Google camera does not seem to be compatible as of yet .... Until it's developed specifically for Sony I guess
It seems more stable than the Android P Beta that was pushed for Xperia XZ2 Premium. I have it installed and using it without too many issues yet either. SD card is normal but camera is very basic. All apps installed and are running well also which wasn't the case with P Beta.
Out of curiosity, how many versions do Betas usually get?
I rolled back already btw, I was already missing all the quirks that Sony brought to this phone. Also that bug I mentioned earlier - about having headphones connected *physically* and still having sound coming out of the phone speakers - was annoying me.
I installed it right after it was announced and only sort of regret it. It's stable-ish but so many things have been made useless. I just got the xz3 two weeks prior so I'm still in my adjustment phase. I think I'll stick it out until the next beta in June. Lack of SD card slot use, camera that barely works... It's not pretty.
Beta time-line described here:
https://developer.android.com/preview/overview
I rolled back as well. I have been with Sony phones for twelve years and like the skin and apps also. I do enjoy test driving the new Android version as well but only temporarily.
In order to Flash a Customized UK version & update to Q, I unlocked the bootloader . Guys, do you know a way to lock it back, since Flashtool doesn't support it and also when I try from command lines it gives me command not found. Do I have a chance to restore it back to original state ?
Don't think so. No need to unlock bootloader to flash another regional firmware.
The folder 'c:\ProgramData\SonyMobile\Update Engine\[date]\localstorage\' contains the firmware downloaded by the Xperia Companion stored in *.file ~ 2.3 GB. I extracted and seems to be all the files that FlashTool downloads. Did someone tried to flash Android Q like this ?
Does it have Wifi calling for T-Mobile USA?

I don't know if it's network related or not, I'am on US firmware and Wi-Fi calling feature is missing. On Original firmware the feature was present.

Issues with wifi on stock oreo (modded) or with camera on AOSP

Hello,
I have been using Xperia XZ since few months for now and I have several issues. Now I'm using stock oreo modded with Stock Light Patch v7.3, but my problem also exists on eXistenZ. The main issue is that my phone randomly drops wifi. I've tried many solutions from Internet including even apps like wifi fixer but nothing changes.
On AOSP that problem doesn't exist and wifi is as stable as should so I think that problem is only with stock. Has anyone experienced that issue?
On AOSP i have another problem. My problem isn't caused by camera app, because some work very well on AOSP. The issue is that if I take pictures with front camera almost all of them are blurry. It looks to be autofocus problem but I don't know what to do. I've tried pie, Q, O ROMs and issue always is the same.
Sometimes when I take few pictures on AOSP, suddenly I can't take more and nothing helps. Has anyone found a solution to my problem and could help me?
Thanks for any response

[HOWTO/QUESTION] Nougat (Android 7.x) PiP mode (Picture-in-Picture)

Has someone been able to activate/install PiP mode for Nougat 7.x roms? All I want is for my Facebook Messenger app to display my floating videocall window. I've searched for days and tried hidden dev options, different apps on Google Play and I have not found any solution yet. I even tried to see if it was possible to install an API Level 26 in Nougat which is Level 24 but still keeping the Nougat OS on top.
It's litterally the ONLY thing that I need. I've tried so many different roms out there. I'm just discouraged. All roms above 7.0 have MAJOR and I say it, MAJOR camera issues and I NEED my camera to work and I NEED my bluetooth headsets to work. All 7.1.x, Oreo, Pie, Q and R roms have all failed the camera test. I even tried Microsoft Teams and the problem is persistant, black camera and my partner cannot see me.
Right now, the issue I have is that I cannot do anything else on my phone if I am on a webcam call since when I check something else, my app dissapears and my partner does not see me at all until I get back in the app in full screen.
Is there anyone that can help me in trying to find a solution. My phone is a G920W8 - Canadian Flat Model - zerofltecan. I installed SamStock Rom since it's the most stable I can install which does not bug or crash at other places. All v7.0 roms have the exact same issue, NO FLOATING video call window.
