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.

after i rotate my sgs2 i have to w8 1-2seconds until my screen change :O or sometomes dont change at all , i've calibrated , flashed , but the problem still there !
I think the screen rotation lag is the same for all and is how it should be. Imagine you don't want to rotate but tilt the phone a little and the screen rotates quickly. Had problems with my device too, it wasn't working initially but all was good after callibrating the sensors.

Hi, i'm having problem with the gyroscope and the screen auto rotation, the problem is that if i turn my Galaxy horizontally the screen rotates fine, but when i turn back to portrait it doesn't change back, stays horizontal, the problem started a few weeks ago, after a install a version of CyanogenMod, and i turned back to Stock Rom 4.1.2 hoping it will solve the problem but not, can somebody help me please?
Hello guys, I have mini pro. Unfortunately sensor that located on the front is not working anymore. so my phone alwyas stayin as the ''rotate screen automatically'' enabled. İs there any solution to get home screen in portrait mode not landscape. thanks
Any help friends. Can I delete any file from system connected with rotation and end the problem!!!
hey there, do you happen to know exactly what sensor controls this? i'm still trying to figure this out. I'm sorry but I can't help you on this one
On mini pro there is no sensor control. Mybe I am wrong it not about sensor. Home screen and all apps are always shown in landscape mode , even screen rotation disabled in settings.
I have tried nearly all ics kernels, all the same. When installed kitkat rom 4.4.2 all is well screen rotation is backed to normal. I dont know whats wrong with ics!!
On my mate 10 Pro, the auto rotate setting is enabled but apps don't auto rotate to landscape.
I've turned it off and on, tried different apps to control it but no joy.
I should add the screen does rotate from landscape to portrait mode.
Not sure if it's a sensor or setting issue.
Any assistance is appreciated, thanks.
I am having same problem too any solution?
Restart the phone
I was having the same problem on my Honor 8, but a simple phone restart did the trick.
Just restart you phone It happens after it being up for a long time a simple restart fixes it I hope they fixed that bug in Android 9.
