Hello All,
Of late, I have found my camera pics to be very blurry ... even when I am using camera app to view (as viewfinder) the image is very blurry and the whites are over-exposed.
I already tried resetting to default settings, replacing camera app in system/app. Issue is still persisting.
Do you guys think a camera firmware update/ change would sort it out. If yes, where can I get it for my Samsung GT-I9100
Any other solutions ?
I suspect the issue is happening after I flashed a custom, which I cant remember the name now ... ( yes, I have been living with the bad camera for some months now ... )
This is very annoying ...
any help please.

have you tried flashing a stock rom/firmware and do a factory reset, wipe dalvik caches, fix permissions, etc?

Hello All !
Is there a way (video) to show how to open the back camera plastic cover of the S2?
I want to check whether there is dust or the plastic cover is scratch ed too much ?
Thanks

Is on Macro mode ???
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Doesn't matter if its on macro mode or not ... pictures are blurry and out of focus.
I can see that the plastic cover in front if the lens is scratched and dirty.
Seems a design error.
I need to remove that now. Any help please. Been try with a pin but I dont know the contact points

LED flash does not work. I have reset the phone already but nothing. Any ideas??
BUMPY BUMP.
What exactly have you tried to conclude it is not working?

Well, I tried taking pictures with flash and nothing.
Hmm. Phone charged? There is no disabled hidden option somewhere? Well I am sure you already looked into these easy things, you are a senior member here
Hopefully some one with an SGS2 in hand can help you. It would suck to have to send it back to UK. I suggest you contact the seller soon, to get whatever authorization for return they require, before it is too late. You can meanwhile keep looking into the issue.
I've tried mine and 'Auto Flash' does not appear to be working - when the flash is set to 'On' it works fine on mine??
Anyone else apart from the two of us with this issue?

With auto flash the device only uses flash when it thinks it needs it....
Guess you figgered that out yourself also
Download a torch app from the market and try it to see if your led is ok, if so it must be a software problem.

Ok, you didn't mention it. I thought you did, but can't be sure here on the forum (not personal).
Must be some sensor failure i think.
Best still to check the obvious i guess ;-)
Surprised more people haven't mentioned it though

Has anyone tried it on the newest leaked ODIN rom?
I guess I will have to return it for an exchange. Man, that sucks tail!!! They're currently in back order.
Just downloaded the Vignette camera app and Auto Flash works.fine so its not the sensor.
Wonder if there's a bug in the standard camera app?

Just tried that. No luck. This is very frustrating. I may try flashing one of those firmwares from samfirmware.com
get the free tesla light app from the market (the icon looks like an energy saving light bulb)
It should work fully and instantly
Tesla won't work either. I wonder if it is hardware or software related problem. Is there a link for an unlocked SGS 2 stock ROM version to download?

Have you tried to clear the data from the camera app?
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All> Camera and clear the app data and see if that helps.

Do you have CWM? If yes, then go to recovery mode, wipe cache. Then go to Advanced, wipe Dalvik Cache, ans then Fix Permissions.
Did it nothing happened.. its saying unfortunately camera has stopped and sometimes its saying warning camera failed

Hi, If you did A clean install wich means U did all the wipe of every thing from CWM, and as you said you even installed stock rom, then always facing problem.
I'm afraid your have a hardware failure my freind. somebody must have fallen it down by accident. Unless you bought it like that.
Here's one other thing to do :
Serach for a freind who has the same phone well worked, do a backup from recovery CWM, copy the backup file frome his phone to yours, then do a restore from cwm recovery mode. If it works, then it's Ok, if not, It might be a hardware failure.
I really hope your phone is fine
Good luck.

Good Luck.
just download the original apk and install i had the same problem
By chance are you using Siyah kernel 3.1rc6 That kernel has a problem that causes the camera to fail if you are do nothing except upgrade the kernel under no circumstances wipe ANY data since if you are on that kernel you can destroy the internal memory with a wipe that can't be fixed and needs a motherboard replacement.
If when you open the camera a popup says that the camera has failed I would check immediatly if you are on said kernel.
Edit: sorry I didn't notice someone bumped such a old post that couldn't have this problem since it is before its time.
i'm having this same issue. i found that it must be a bad flex cable or connector inside the phone. if i tap hard right under the camera i can get it to fail or not fail without resetting anything in the camera app. thought it was software at first too.
have not opened the phone yet but i figure its either cold solders on the connector or loose connecotor or both. if you throw a piece of tape there inside the phone to press on it then it should fix it.
Do you know where to find patches, on Stock rom or on Neat Rom, for these two problems?
1) End Call Delay
2) Lock Screen Lag
Thanks
Maybe if you factory reset....(not on 4.0.4 of course).

Rom is JB 4.1.2 ... Factory reset is not solution, problem is stil there.

Hi! I'm kinda new so if the topic was disscused give me a link if not help me a bit. Basically the camera isn't focusing the long distance photos they are all blurry and no definition what so ever , and when i slowly bring the phone closer the object is getting more and more accurate but to a certaine point then becomes blurry again and in all these time the auto focusing isnt working. And i tried most of the solutions like: reseting all camera options, turning on anti- shake mode , taping on the screen to focus, turn on autofocus, turn on macro , changing resolution , changing metering ... bassicaly all the options avabile and i want to know if it can be fixed by any software way or by factory reseting the phone. If is not clear enough i'll come back with some sample pictures and more explications.
Thanks alot! and sorry for my grammar mistakes

First step factory reset .
If it still doesn't work after a wipe, if u still have warranty. Best ask for a replace.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Well well the factory reset didn't worked... but you see i have like 2 dark fuzzy points when i'm in camera mode... see down there .... and yes i cleaned my back lense... do those 2 dark point may be the problem?

Well i have nvr seen someone with this kind of problem so yeah. If u are someone who takes pics frequently, i recommend u to actually just bring it to the service centre and ask them to fix it. But yeah, u said ur warranty is gone. So u have to pay.
