Autofokus - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I have problem with my autofokus.
Sometimes my camera is not focusing at all.
Only thing that helps is tapping on the side of the phone.
What do you guys think, is it a hardware problem?
Do i need to replace my phone?

Sounds like another ois failure. That's usually the symptom.

[Q] Camera turning itself on

Hi
I love my Sensation, but I do have one small problem. Whenever I use it I seem to catch the camera with my thumb and have to turn off the camera before I use the phone. I realise I could just move the camera button, but then I would just get the same issue with another app.
Has no-one else had this? It happens both with stock ROM and ARHD (currently using 6.6.5)
Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like a "phone" issue...
To answer your question, no I do not have that problem.
Well, I beg to differ, but it is a phone issue, as that portion of the screen appears to be over-sensitive. I thought other people may have had the same problem and the fact that they haven't would seem to indicate that it could be a fault with my phone, which is what I was trying to establish.

Interesting choice of words there.
Overly sensitive?? You happen to touch the icon for the camera app, it opens, and you're surprised?
My goal here is to help, but...
Sorry, I'm speechless.

Really? Your goal appears to be condescension. I am not an idiot, I have owned other smartphones, even other HTCs, but even my palm on the side of the screen opens the camera. I am not even directly touching the icon.
Please don't bother replying to this, as it is not helpful, but IS very annoying.
Have you tried just kind of training yourself not to touch it? I believe that is the first and potentially last step to solving this problem.
Took phone back to shop, they agreed that the screen was faulty and it has now been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs.
Still, thanks for your help folks

[Q] Component missing i9001

Hey guys! I just bought myself an I9001 Galaxy S Plus from someone (second hand)... It's my first smartphone so i think i've been busted.
The phone seemed to work well, and everything was ok. But when I try to use the GPS (without internet connection), it does'n seem to find any server. I've changed some different ROMs with different Kernels, but it still can't reach any server.
I forgot to mention that with some ROMs the signal level is very oscillating...
Today i was looking at the phone and observed that there is a hole just above the battery where some component, like an antenna or something is missing. I don't know what component is that...
I think that the missing component is the one in te next picture. But what is its name and role? Instead of it, at my phone, there's a soildered wire... This trick was made to mask other issues of the phone? (if i replace the missing component the phone might have problems?)
I'll attach the photos, may be you can help me. Thanks!!!
Does anybody know?

I think it's a Connector coaxial, a micro miniature form of RF coaxial connector. Look at one i marked with an arrow.. You can replace that part from samsung service center
Best of luck.
The details:
Design LOC: RFS100
SEC CODE: 3705-001731
Description: CONNECTOR-COAXIAL
thank you!
but that's the reason why my gps doesn't work?
or that's the reason why the signal level is very oscillating when i'm using some custom ROMs?
do I need it, or i can live without ?

May be. Not sure..
I used to have a i9000B wich is basicaly the same device.
THE GPS signal simply sucks, it was so bad that sometimes it took 2 minutes to lock in open field, with some roms it got better with other even worse.
I used GPS AIDS with that device an app that was developed just to try to solve this particular device problem at that time. look it up, maybe it can help a little bit, but i thing this device will never get a high speed gps lock.

I know that its GPS sucks, but mine effectively sees nothing. no server
Am i blind, or my antenna is missing completely?
No. Sorry, the antenna is there. I don't know what my problem is with the GPS.
Doesn't seem like there is anything missing. GPS on this was really bad. I never got a GPS signal.

Disable Nexus 5 front camera

Hello
I am wondering if there is a possibility to disable the front camera of my nexus 5 for privacy reasons. I don't need it anyway.
Of course, I could glue something onto it, but that just looks stupid and I think there must be a way to disable the camera for the system, which can be fixed if I need to. I guess the best way would be to remove the drivers for it, but I don't know which one it is.
Does anyone has any idea how to achieve this? Deleting the camera.apk would not work because I still want to be able to use the camera at the back.
Thank you already and cheers.
Just use a black marker pen and put a dot.. If you ever want to use the camera, use alcohol to wipe it off.
Privacy? You believe someone could hack your phone and watch you?
Yeah.... Not going to happen. Relax. ?

Who knows.. may be the govt was spying on us the whole time and this camera-daemon bug was a cover up? :silly::angel:
LCD has good viewing angle. Tilt phone back. You can still see sexy video but camera cannot see your excited face

Agree on the dirty screen.. Happens to me too. I just need to wipe it clean

no,my screen is clean. I think it is a hardware issue but i don't know exactly what kind of problem it is.
Some people claim it's a loose connector.

It could be a number of things. You could try recalibrating the firmware for the touchscreen. There's a thread that talks about replacing the LCD. Anytime you replace the LCD you have to recalibrate the firmware for the new screen, so they also talk about recalibrating the firmware. Just do a lot of reading and you can find it. Sorry I'm on my phone or I'd link you.
