DX2 camera not auto focussing - Motorola Droid X2

Hi
My droid x2 camera is not auto focussing
It seems the bug is mentioned here http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/motorola-droid-camera-autofocus-fixed-in-secrecy/
I had changed the date to a month back and the camera is autofocussing now.
I have the latest GB 2.3.4
Can someone please let me know if there is a fix for this.
Thanks

Yes, this is quite annoying. Reformatting works for me for a day or so then its messed up again.

Have you tried holding down the "Shutter" button for a second or two then releasing? It seems that this has worked for me in the past.
I know the camera on the CM7 ROM works great! Has video camera, zooming features, different white balance features, self-timer, etc etc etc all built-in to the camera app.
You can read more about it at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442803
Enjoy!

Camera doesn't work after 2.1

After upgrading 2.1 camera app doesn't work and the only way to close it force close or it says not available.
Any idea? Does anyone have the same problem?
No problems here, try a fix firmware with Sony Ericsson PC Companion.
If you not tried yet then try to re-flash your phone again.
I tried but the same...

Do you have x10i or x10a
Mine keeps failing when I try to save HD video recordings. Anyone else having this problem?
X10i

i two have a problem with filming hd. it films for about a minute or two and after it gives and error and it doesn't save the video. I did reflash it again 2 times but same. B***s*it firmware.... and the camera gives an error sometimes and photos they seem kinda blurry after 2.1. Not much but still noticeable.

Same here. Can't start Camera. It stays black for a while and then forces to
close.
No problems here on Rogers x10a firmware.
so what to do
Tried under Custom Rom 2.1 and now after downgrading to 1.6.
Now way. Cant get it work :S
Is it possible flashing caused a hardware problem with camera? (I think it's impossible) But why camera controller cannot work even after several reflash or software repair? Can somebody help with programmer background what to check? Or is it a serial fault (X10i)?
Anyone has problems with camera making some weird clicking noise after 2.1 upgrade? It happens while changing/opening options in the camera menu. seems like lens shifting or something, not very audible but was not there with 1.6

Yeah just the new auto focus... when your in the menu it doesn't have to keep focusing so disables that part resulting in a physical relaxation of the lense

Yes, like the guy above me said. It's just the new auto focus.
The new camera takes far better pictures, way faster as well. I haven't had any problems taking or saving HD video with a Class 2 microSD.
Oh, so you hear it on yours too ?
I though mine got broken or something I did not know there are physical elements in such a small camera that are able to literally shift and produce an audible noise! The strange thing tho is that the noise is produced while switching any options in the menu, like resolution, focus, picture mode etc, BUT the camera is active in background. Besides not all "clicks" are the same, the most loud one i get is when pressing the "picture wall" button in the lower right corner of the camera interface. Just wanna make sure it's like that on every devise

MIUI Camera Flash

Custom Rom: TripnMIUI 1.0 Final
Independent control of flash function not working on device. Attempted to install a third party camera app "camera 360". App notifies "sorry your cell phone has no flashing" when flash option is selected.
Utilizing MIUI camera to configure flash provides two options. Auto and On. Yet neither work.
Does anyone have any information or a possible solution?
Thanks for reading.

try vignette for flash.
vignette isn't working. with the MIUI camera the dev's instructions are to switch off full screen due to some glitch that causes no picture. when i load this camera application i receive the same glitch, can not see picture what so ever.
i explored the settings in the app and there is no appropriate selection to be able to switch as i would with the MIUI camera. it seems this app isn't compatible with the rom.
I use the LED light app and just leave the light on while I take a pic >.>...
LED app like Torch? to activate the camera flash like an independent flash light?
Tried Torch, the app crashed. So I uninstalled it. Currently searching the market to see if anything is going to be compatible here. There must be some sort of fix as this flash problem wasnt listed in the dev's build release notes.
I use this https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.picolyl.led_light
even has a widget I put on my desktop... walk around my house at night like this...
i was hoping that would work
but it didn't
app installs. app loads. when i turn on the flash, nothing happens
leads me to assume there has to be a patch, because again, it must be rom related
Vignette seems to work for me. I have it set to auto flash and it comes on when I touch the screen.
Or is the point that you would rather use the miui camera?
Sorry if I misunderstood
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
when i start up Vignette i have absolutely no picture. just distorted colored stripes across the screen.
the miui camera was indicated as being faulty in full screen mode. within the release notes there were instructions to open the settings within MIUI camera and change off of full screen to resolve the picture issue.
as per developers ROM documentation:
Known bugs:
- Phone reboots when you press exit in Root Explorer (not included)
- MIUI camera has messed up screen (fix this by going into miui cam settings and turn off "Full screen"
that issue is the exact same thing that I am experiencing in Vignette. with MIUI camera i was able to make the appropriate change and restore full picture.
with Vignette no option presents itself to enable me to do this. i dont necessarily care which app i use to take pictures as long as i am able to operate the flash and sustain full camera functionality.
both miui camera the stock camera are not functioning with flash for me. i have set to automatic within miui camera and even still the flash fails to initiate.
even if i switch to "ON" within MIUI camera that doesn't work either. the stock camera app has no flash control option in its settings. and so far the third party apps i've tried such as "camera 360" resulted in a message saying my phone doesn't have flash. and Vignette was not resolving picture. i was unable to locate a respective setting similar to that of MIUI camera to initiate a functional view. therefore was forced to uninstall
Attached a temporary solution
Slightly improved brightness over my original: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996973
I'm working on flashlight fix to work with vignette. Hopefully Trip will fix it too in next release
nice thanks. would this apk just manually be pushed through ADB to sytem/apps? or do i have the option to install straight from SD?
im going to go ahead and try this out. thanks again.
side note: is it correct to assume a pending update for this build considering it was released as a "final version" it would be nice to see some fixes implemented to further stability and full functionality.
another issue ive experienced over the past couple days back and forth between this rom is particularly when files are in midst of being transferred to sd card. but not limited to. the phone seems to force reboot. and this does not cease. case in point. i initiated sd mounting and upon hitting confirm, phone went into power cycle.
update: *Torch works perfect. I hit thanks

I have bought the depreciated version and even though it works great on latest MIUI, flash still doesn't work.
so .... like you said .... depreciated?
turns out it doesn't work after all. wonderful
i can understand the picture part working, unlike the demo. but if flash doesn't work. it doesn't turn out to be an all in one solution. flash is the issue here. i can utilize either miui or even stock camera for the pictures. its the flash that is giving complications.

Use the torch app with it
i guess the torch app will suffice. its going to have to because every app ive tried doesn't recognize the flash function. its a smart work around.
i noticed an update pack released for the rom hopefully flash will be noted for a fix sometime in the future. thanks everyone

I don't think it worked with any roms did it? I don't even think it worked with stock
your right. it never worked. with anything.
although i must say i never tested it on 6.1.3 rom release. but with stock it was working for me. at least it would turn on

CM10 on Atrix 4G

Sorry to put this in General but I haven't met the requirements to post elsewhere and hopefully someone will see this .
I've been keeping up with the Atrix 4G CM10 Mod and have to say great work so far. The latest version fixes most of the issues I've seen in the past including the Camera and random reboots.
Few things it doesn't fix that may be either app developer issues, issues with the mod itself, or something I'm not thinking of; Netflix doesn't work , Triple Town (and some other games) don't work (I think this is due to hardware accel, but they work on my Flipside so I'm not sure that matters much).
Anyways just wanted to say thanks, and great work. Can't wait for the next update.

Just tried it but I'm going back to Turl's CM9 which I've been using for a month now. CM10 isn't quite as refined as CM9 atm, CM10 doesn't allow for transitions also the crt animation isn't functioning along with GPS(which also isn't working in CM9 for me), on the bright side Google now worked good on CM10 and is pretty cool.
Camcorder is working? Do Chrome tabs work?

Video is not working in the native camera app but you can apparently download a camera app in the maket to take video. Chrome tabs still crash the app. Neither of these will probably be able to be fixed until we get official drivers from ICS update.

Seems to depend on who you are, the Camera and Camcorder work fine for me under CM10 with the native camera application. Though it does crap out from time to time. I've had better luck with Pudding Camera being stable.
As for tabs, don't know, will have to look to see if they are working when I get home.

Whitout acceleration, ICS or JB is useless =/ (no video cam, no 720p video playback)
Whaiting for the official one ^^ (It will be crapy but our deves will mod it)
I know, my english is terrible!
I have jokersax CM10 and my issues so far are:
-When the camera takes a picture with the flash on, the image is overlayed with a heavy green tint, also happened in CM9
-Cant see internal SD storage in Win7.
-Video worked at first (with delay) but now crashes with some gallery error.
-Can't get GPS to work but I'll try GPS test outside in a few minutes
-The animations are smooth but sometimes do this weird little jump back at last couple of frames, doesn't really bother me.
My battery life seems better than the CM9's I tried and the phone has been using deep sleep with CM10. That said, both 9 and 10 use noticeably more battery than CM7.
I also had issues with GPS on CM 9/10. I tried all the common fixes. Even going back to a blur-based ROM didn't fix it. Finally flashed my radio to 36P and now the GPS locks in seconds.
Jokersax CM10 JB 0.2 !!
Hi Guys,
I being a noob, installed Jokersax's CM10 JB 0.2 version yesterday. Had some nervous moments :fingers-crossed: when I soft bricked my phone. But finally recovered from that and could install JB. The following are my observations;
Working:
1) Camera
2) GPS
3) Google Now works. Awesome !! Very quick and to the point.
4) Music play back on phone speaker
5) DLNA works. Tested with Skifta and iMediashare
Not working: (Driver issues and app issues)
1) Chrome not working properly. When I zoom in, it crashes
2) Camcorder - recorded a short video snippet. But the file vanished from the gallery. Not able to find it or it did not record at all !!
3) Finger print
4) Stuttering slightly when moving from one desktop to another
5) No Webtop
6) XDA developer app
Will update this post when I do further tests
Thanks again to CM10 developers, Jokersax and to all those who have helped in getting this ROM to this level.

Sorry nh777 and all. In the excitement of having JB, did not analyse the thread.
I'm very pleased with CM10 Epinter. The small bugs and video camera not bother me so much as to not use more CM10. Bring on the libs official logo.
Amazing rom and theming questions
I have installed CM10 on my Motorola Atrix from Emerson Pinter and found that it works amazingly. Some minor issues involving the camera, gps, and sometimes frame lags, but other than that, it seems to be a pretty stable build. Battery is amazing compared to most other roms. I get a 25 hour battery! Thanks EPinter! I just have one question and hope someone can help me, even though it doesn't exactly pertain to this topic. You know when you are at the lockscreen, you tap the lock and you can slide it to wither camera or unlock? Well, I was wondering if I could change the little dots in the background, maybe change the color or something along those lines. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks,
Luca

Wouldn't a different theme do that?
Sorry for reviving an old thread (I thought it would be better than not using the search function) but where can I get the latest version of cm10? I mostly need a functioning camera again which this jokersax ROM doesn't seem to have working.
I understand that Motorola has pretty much killed off any hope of a fully functional jb but I only want a working camera.

Framework-res.apk & Camera Issues
No. I have tried so many themes and none of them have made a difference. I forget where, but I read an article that the image was in framework-res.apk. Any help? On a side note, my camera on JellyBean has been REALLY bad. Is that a result of unofficial drivers? If anyone has a fix for any of these issues, please please please contact me!
Thanks.

Sorry, my bad, I only just realized the theming engine cannot theme the lockscreen. It's a known limitation of the engine.
You could always decompile your framework-res, find and change the relevant file, and then compile it back...
Audio over bluetooth (Epinter CM10 20121011)
Hi guys,
I wanted to post this in the dev thread but was not able to do so as I do not have the required minimum 10 posts.
I am using Epinter's CM10 Oct 11th version. I am having a small issue with it.
I am not getting audio over bluetooth. Does anyone else facing the same problem?
I tried to un-pair and re-pair, reboot etc. But nothing worked.
It would be great if any one can solve the issue.
Thanks,
Trying to get to 10 posts so sorry if already mentioned...
On Jokersax latest CM10 build and have a camera issue as well, no preview of what I am taking, it seems to take a picture as I can see thumbnail afterwards, but cannot view the thumbnail or change location for default directory... Only bug I found so far, less than 12 hours testing...

Switching to video hangs camera

I'm on SuperLTE SVN 127. Camera works well but when I switch to video I can't record and camera is unresponsive until I reboot. I can do things like hit the auto flash icon and switch between modes but can't get to the menu or switch back to picture mode or actual shoot any video.
Previous to this I was on CM10. Camera with video worked ok. Wiped everything I could from TWP, flashed superwipe, reinstalled superLTE, installed other sense roms still the same issues. I also cleared camera and media data in settings.
Anyone have any idea what else I can try?

also another symptom is that I can't play any videos from gallery. Nothing I download or things that were recorded on the phone when video worked. But it will play in bsplayer.
Are there any logs I can check for errors?
Im sorry that it was so hard to read the op and see that rom uses the sense 4.5 camera which will always freeze when switching to video unless the phone is already in landscape mode. im sorry if if this sounded mean but im tired of people not even reading about the rom that they install before saying they have problems. DO SOME RESEARCH before starting a new thread, and always read the original post about the rom before you install.

Be as mean as you'd like as long as you post something useful. This is the Q&A section. I'm not ****ting up someone else's post asking stupid questions. I always try to figure it out on my own first.
You make it sound like the OP of the superLTE rom makes this clear. Yes it does mention the 4.5 camera but it would be helpful if they had a known issue section at the bottom. Notice I didn't say should, just that it would be helpful. Anyway, I've tried other roms, including rooted stock and get the same issues with the camera. Switching to video in the sense 4.5 camera in landscape just crashes instead of hanging and then I can't reopen the camera.

If i was you i would not use the sense 4.5 camera until it is 100% bug free.
Hi, I'm the OP of Super LTE, I'm not sure about those issues, BUT I'm on the latest revision, 149 I think, we updated the camera apk yesterday or two days ago, and I literally just TRIED to crash the camera and couldn't. I took pics, switched to video, took video, viewed video from the gallery, took burst pics, took more video then used capture tool while watching from gallery, rotating between land and port all the while, etc. Please try the latest and see, also, please post issues in thread (or response to my post here), we rarely venture out of the dev section

Question Really weird camera recording issue

For context, I'm running lineage (19-20220824-NIGHTLY-dre) and this issue happens on every single camera app I've tried.
If I record a video let's say like a 2 second recording and then go to open that video the clip suddenly is an hour long with basically the entire hour being a single frame and the last 2 seconds being the 2 seconds I recorded. What's even weirder is the audio from the video plays during the first two seconds and then doesn't for the remaining time. Overall really weird and frustrating and I've spent hours trying to figure out what would cause this to no avail. Additional most gallery apps won't even open the videos recording and no pc can open them either. Any ideas?
Have you tried update Lineage? It's most recent update is 9/21 it looks like your about 4 updates behind. Not sure if it'll fix your issue though as I did not use camera while using Lineage and have since gone back to stock due to a display bug.
Edit: If you do want to update it SHOULD be fairly simple. You just go to settings>system>update and it should pull whatever the newest update it and install in the background. Note that even though it shouldn't cause any errors, there's always the chance it will so just be aware and ready.

You got a debloat list or something you follow? I could go for that see if smooths stock a little when playing pokemon go.
I have the latest LIneage, with the same problem, and am completely lost with what it could be. Recording videos in Snapchat works normally, but the stock camera, GCAM, and the GrapheneOS camera all have this issue, probably because they all use the Camera2 API.
I encountered this problem today but the uploads on Google photos came out correct (when I 'free up space' )
I am having this issue as well, just checking to see if anybody might have discovered anything
