is it possible you accidentally changed some camera settings or camera mode?
Try going to the camera settings menu (bottom left corner of the camera app), scroll that menu all the way out, and pick "reset". This will reset your camera to factory settings. See if the problem still persists.
Or it could be too dark, and auto mode cannot focus. you need to engage night mode. but first try setting reset above.

My guess would be you've switched the macro function on at some point (either deliberately or accidentally) and then forgotten to switch back to auto-focus (I had the same problem with mine until I realised what it was!).
Go to Settings down in the bottom left of the camera screen, then select 'Focus Mode' and change back to 'Auto focus'.
I didnt turn anything on or off, i flashes the firmware to ke7. but it stopped working before i flashed. also i have reset the cam settings tons of times, nothing seems to work. it goes out of focus right after it starts focusing, and then the red bare thing comes up
It is obviously software issues, because its gets perfectly focussed before it goes blurry again
Hmm is it the macro mode issue that I read about?
Never heard anything like what you are describing, sorry.
Please do update this thread if you figure out the issue.
re-flash or update the camera's firmware
+1 to this problem. It's frustating.
I got the same problem. I just give the phone a tap on the back and it starts working again. Its so weird... i'm thinking my camera autofocus is dodgy/stuck
Try Settings >Applications >Manage Aplications > All > Camera > clear DATA
Or are you sure there is no dust on the Lens????? Trying wiping it clean
If both the above Dont work ... I dont you and you dont know me
bump..
have the same issue...
no focus at all in video mode.
i reset the camera setting a few times, delete all data from the camera app, still no luck.
my cam FW is :
cam fw ver : scef02
phone fw ver : tbec28
please advise as this is getting really frustrating...
many thanks.
Samsung I9100 camera focus problem
Hi,
I have the same issue as described above. Perhaps it occured just as I updated to Android version 2.3.3, not sure but could be.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
auto focus doesn't work correctly out of the box
Hello,
Just got a brand new GSII from Sprint; awesome!! AutoFocus though is CRAZY and possessed!! it will be in focus then go out of focus... non-stop... did this from day one; Running 2.3.4 does not seem to do this with the still camera.
I'm having the same problem. I tried switching roms, going back to stock, nothing helped. Anyone having a solution? It is a software issue, because 3 days ago mine was working for like 5 min..

I had the same problem but disappeared cleaning the lens from the fingerprints and grease
I finally rooted and the flashed Galnet Miui, but then the quality of photos dropped. So I flashed another ROM, same results. So now i restored backup of my original ROM and it got better, but still nowhere near the quality of pre-root.
So I messed up camera for nothing =/
I have the same problem, with one small difference, i dropped the phone in the toilet. Got it dry, changed the camera and now I have this focus problem. In camera mod, if I touch the screen the camera will focus, but it doesn't focus from the moment I start the Camera app. So since the camera don't auto-focus by itself when I go into video mod the image is all blurry.

Hello all,
this is my first post here so be gentle :cyclops:
I've bought Rikomagic MK802II with Android 4.0.4. with HDMI.
I want to rotate screen to portrait mode. I spent days trying to make it work but without success.
Device came without "Auto-rotation" option in settings. It is somehow locked to landscape rotation.
I tried to do:
1) Unpacked original IMG file, then unpacked system and changed build.prop.
- I've added "ro.sf.hwrotation=90" to build.prop file and flashed the device.
- after rebooting system stuck at loading screen
2) Again fresh start from original IMG file.
- changed "config_AllowAllRotation" from "false" to "true" in framework-res.apk
- packed all and flashed the device
- after reboot system running OK but still in landscape
3) Made file local.prop in /data/.
- In it I've added:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
- nothing helped...
4) Changed settings.db.
- changed user_rotation from 3 to 0 (to 1 also)
- after rebooting screen is still in landscape but settings.db doesn't have anymore this row: user_rotation and 20 next rows too.
I also spot some AutoRotationController.smali file but I don't know is everything about it or?
How I testing portrait mode:
- Tried with Rotation locker application
- made my app which have orientation to portrait (tested it on my tablet and on my smartphone and in emulator and in all cases app is in portrait except on MK802II).
Does anyone know what is needed to be changed to get portrait rotation? No matter locked portrait rotation or Auto rotation enable. Just possibility to rotate screen to portrait.
Are there some parameters needed to be changed or some features to be added or something else?
Are there some group of parameters considering to screen rotate?
Any luck with the rotation? Same story on the mk802 fw.
Cheers,
Martijn
Still no luck. I didn't gave up but I need to learn more about android to better understand the problem about rotation and to to prevent/allow screen rotation. That is hard way for me but only because I didn't get any help on the forums and cannot find any blog on the net who have this there written down.
I'm guessing all your previous attempts to configure or manipulate the devices screen orientation are unsuccessful probably because all these system settings, configurations and used apps rely on a hardware feedback of sum sort.
Which probably is absent on these devices.
I don't believe an android stick as this comes with a gyroscopic sensor (hardware). Thus not able to supply or react to the correct information.
I don't think its impossible though, it just needs a more low-level programatically approach.
Good luck :good:
And please share your solution if you get it solved. I can imagine more people are facing this problem.
Semi - Solution
Hello,
I have been working with one of these devices recently and also needed to display something in Portrait mode.. Alas it's locked in to landscape.
Instead, I figured out a work around. I built an application that is landscape, but the internal objects are rotated 90 degrees. The app I am working on (and hope to have in the app store soon) is a web browser kiosk style app. This application design would allow you to display something in portrait mode even if the devices is locked to landscape. Added bonus, with the way I have it set up I am able to also set it to 180 degrees or 270 degrees (this is useful if the picture needs to be flipped on a projector lets say)
Just thought I'd share what I figured out so far. I'll post the link once I have the app ready for prime time.
Hey there,
I recently had a problem with my Xperia Z3Compact, though the solution I found might not be device specific. It's orientation sensor didn't work properly:
- It didn't change back from landscape to portrait mode
- Some photos taken were turned upside down
Here my solution so others maybe can profit:
Using sensoring tools, i managed to find out that the device reported to be flipped 180degrees (On its y-axis/tilt back and forth). Recalibrating the sensors with any apps I tested did not work.
Research showed, that the sensor orientation can be changed in the following file: /etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf; changing any values didn't take any affect though.
From some link I am not allowed to post here because I didn't post much yet, I learned that removing the following file lets android reconfigure/recalibrate its sensors according to the config-file: /data/misc/sensors/sns.reg
after all: just deleting the sns.reg-file was enough to fix the orientation issue. I mentioned the conf-file because it could be of use for somebody.

You fixed my problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...tic-sensor-t3176956/post62301573#post62301573
Hello, yesterday I took a tablet Huawei Mediapad 10 link Android 4.1.2 and while I was playing with it I noticed some things.
Snapchat:
- The picture of the camera is always turned at 90 °, meanwhile in the app-a camera, everything is correct.
Messenger:
- When you choose to take a picture, it gives a black screen and crashes and can not load camera
- When you want to record a voice message and hold the red button, the tablet orientation rotates (landscape <-> portrait) for 1 second and it rings with sound similar to "error"
For now in the other app camera and audio recording work properly.
Attempts to fix:
- I downloaded another camera app and tried to make it default, but the results are the same.
- I read around the net and tried different things - none result.
- Factory Reset, without recovery of information from google account - everything is the same ...
After that I don't know what to do and I hope someone of you can help me!
Hello! I bought a huwaei media tab 3 for a car installation. i open the device to solder a cable to the power button. after that i noticed that the device oriantion is the opposite of what the divece is actually is. For example right landscape is now left landscape. Auto rotation works it detects the change of orientation and changes modes only they are inverted. I tried factory reset still the same problem. What can i try? sure i didnt touch or break anything cause sensor works it detects movements.
