Hi everyone.
I would like some help or ideas on this question:
I have a problem with camera at my galaxy SII. I have it since it was released, more than two years ago, and now camera mess up. The camera doesn't focus at distant points, but have no problems focus with close shots. (Macro option is disabled)
Not everything lasts forever, so I find out this post and I bought a new module camera (model GH96-05176A, same as the original from my SII).
I have no problem disassembling devices, but when it was done and I check it, the same problem was there. Camera doesn't focus either...
I softly cleaned up module lens, and even test it without rear case. Rom was changed, wyping and formating system and data. Nothing has been solved.
I know that probability for same problem on two modules (doesn't focus at distanced points) may be lowest. Anyone have an idea what I should do?
Thanks a lot.

Hi guys.
I've bought a galaxy grand 2 two months ago. For those two months phone was doing great. It was jelly bean so i upgraded it to kitkat. It was working better after upgrading. But after I've rooted it, it gives me some problems like google play cant get into internet, over heating or battery draining .
However it was good though that i was getting extra advantages for rooting it. But I thought using official binary will be good for now.
So I re installed Kitkat version of it.
After installing official firmware, everything was working fine except camera's focus and accelerometer's direction.
Camera: When I try to focus the camera into close objects it can't focus it. Tries but fails. Thought it might not be able to focus the object from that distance. I tried other camera apps. I tried using Google camera. Google camera can take the photos of far object. But when I try to focus on close object it tries to focus and the app crushes. No idea what happened to the focus feature.
Accelerometer: After Re installing, I've noticed a problem in accelerometer. That is when I hold the camera 90 degrees it actually calculate wrong. It calculates that i'm holding the phone left side slightly. Though i'm holding it straight. The problem appeared when I was playing temple run. The character was running on the left side. Sometimes when i restart my phone the accelerometer get fixed. But after some while the same problem appears.
Dont know if these problems are hardware issues or software. Dont know even how to solve it. Any Solution from experts will help me a lot. Thanks in Advance....
Hey guys,
Sometimes when I launch my camera, it makes a loud buzzing noise and has trouble focusing. It seems like something is getting in the way of the lens not allowing it to move freely. If I shake really quickly it usually stops and works like it should. I don't know if it's a lens issue or am issue with the OIS. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you found a solution? This is my second S6 Edge. The first one succumbed to the auto rotate bug. Thanks for your time.

I was facing the same issue from the past 3-4 days. It starts buzzing (not all the time, but frequent enough to get me mad) when you open the camera app, and might stop the buzing if you try to focus manually.
I went to Samsung service center yesterday, and they did confirm it was a fault camera hardware (don't know the much details yet). They ordered new camera hardware and expected delivery date by tomorrow.
Hoping, the new camera module be with out any issues.
To any one, i have been using the phone for the past ~2 months, and saw this issue occurring in the past 3-4 days. Is any one facing the same issue?
Maybe i will send an e-mail, and see whats happening with these Camera hardware...
So I got the V10 on T-Mobile the day it was announced that the bootloader was factory unlockable. I love it so far with one somewhat concerning exception (apart from the laughable battery life but *shrug*): the majority of the time when I try to use the back camera, I'm not able to focus it. In auto mode tapping to focus does nothing. In manual mode sliding the focus dial also does nothing. Third party camera apps won't focus either. I have to pull the battery and reboot and it *might* work then, and if it does it'll only work the first time I open the camera. Front cameras work fine and the focus on the back camera when it works is excellent. Has anybody else run into this or know if it's worth messing with or if I should just exchange it?
Also for clarification I was running the stock rom (rooted) but with very little frozen. Switched to black hole yesterday (triple wipe) which has been lightning fast so far but having the same issue.
Thanks!
Same
Got it last week and Ive been having the same problem. I dont have many apps but I do let my battery drain due to laziness. Thats the only bad thing I do. I'm thinking of exchanging it because ive also messed with all the settings in the manual camera and nothing. Its set to a very close 1 inch distance to focus well. Front camera works marvelous.

Yeah close focus is exactly the problem. I can take passable pictures of stuff right in front of me by physically moving the phone closer and further until it's in focus but that's useless. I'm going to go by the T-Mobile store this evening or tomorrow and see what they say.
Have any of you guys hear a sound like a vibration in coming from the camera module? I was looking at the camera app and noticed i could switch from ois to normal stabilization and when i put it in ois and started messing around by doing fast movement and stopping and making the cam focus on different stuff on one of the focuses it did a weird sound and the image vibrated i have a video that i will upload later but its weird
Well im going to factory reset today and see if that fixes the issue
Surely any movement that is too fast for ois to keep up with it will result in poor video and a noise as the components have to physically move inside.

I figured out that the camera module just refuses to focus, ois is working fine but the focusing just took a dump, maybe its the consequence of a drop that it may have gotten but its weird since the issue only popped up with a factory reset, well i factory reset 4 times and nothing so its getting returned to warranty. I even opened the phone up and disconnected and reconnected the cam module and nada also i found out while i opened the phone one of the reasons for the gap on the chin of the phone its because there is a strong spring inside that pushes on the battery so its easier to take out.
Hello
I had my phone in a drawer for over a year because the lcd shattered and a few months ago I ordered a 'new' screen and replaced it.
The first time I opened the phone I broke the front camera flex cable so I ordered a new one also.
The reason I'm giving a little context is to give you some insight to what could be the problem.
After replacing the front camera, it wont work. I tried installing the original stock rom, updating firmware via mmi codes and cleaning the connections.
What happens is, when I open the camera app (tried multiple ones of course), the back camera behaves very strangely and when I switch to the front camera, the phone either reboots or the app freezes.
This behaviour is green and purple lines through the image when opening, it kind of pulsates and if I get it closer to something bright it takes a few secons getting to a normal clear picture.
This is a recording I've made with the back camera: streamable.com/ilxln
Would apprecciate any info on this.
Thanks
