Front Cam Issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Two days back i realised...my phone's front cam's sensitivity has drastically dropped...i barely see anything even wen standing in daylight or inside a well lit room...i thot it cud b a hardware issue bt at the same time wen i run *#0*# tests the phone hangs while checking front cam...more over the camera app lags while switching between cams and a 'camera failed' error is displayed wen trying to click photos with front cam...any help wud b appreciated..thanks
PS: There had been no serious drops wid my fone that might damage the cam .... nd i hv tried every other camera app to make sure its not a problem wid the stock app...

Ace camera bug

Hi
I got a prob when taking pictures.
When I opened camera,there's a stripped bar brighter than the normal zone.
After restarting camera it's still there....changed rom and nothing solved, sometimes it happens,
sometimes won't.
So hardware prob or driver broken?

I saw many people got this issue too after they update to ics stock .587 from gingerbread. But for me I used stock rom for 3 mnths,ultimate hd 2. 02. For 1 mnth nd zellycream for almost 1 month. Front camera nd proximity not working from couple of days. When itried to check it with the Xperia service menu option it says "my device doesnt support this function" both proximity and front camera" I dont think its a harware issue.if it is hardware issue then the camera wont work but the front camera option in the sttings could have been there...
Plzzzzz any dev help me plzzzzzzzz

Skype recognises only the rear camera. No front camera.
I open the service menu (*#*#SERVICE#*#* i.e
*#*#7378423#*#*) and test the secondary camera, and it
says "This device does not support the function". The primary
works fine. All other supported features work fine. Light
sensor (next to the front cam) responds too. (But the
Proximity switch doesn't. Not sure if it should. Perhaps that
could hint at a hardware problem with the connections from
the bottom half to the top slider part

Think its a hardware problem
Need more info
like on stock rom
If it is hardware problem then the front camera option could have been there. I think so

Have you tried to disable motion? Even if the screen rotation is off on some android versions you still get screen turned, such as camera and videos.

Problems with focusing on SGSIII

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?

Did u try to focus manually?
Sent from my GT-I9300
Focusing manualy like ? Change the focud seting or tapping on the screen?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Tapping on the screen will focus it.

Sry for the delay... Yes i tried that too ... iam just sad that noone besides you is willing to help (
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.
