Nope, just a limitation for the s2's camera sensor. Solution? Upgrade.
Are you running samsung official firmware?
regards, gsstudios
Yes I am running Samsung official rom but by Vodafone
How to upgrade?
By installing an apk or what?

Are you on the latest version (4.1.2 jellybean)?
If updates could be installed via apk, life would be easier. But no, phone updates are done via OTA in about phone or samsung kies software.
Did you change any settings in the camera software? Try playing around with the settings to get optimal results. That's all you can really do, updating won't solve much other than fixing bugs mainly found elsewhere.

I heard that there is something called camera fw update
Can this help
And if it help can you give ma libk to download it

Not recommended. You could risk breaking your camera. Usually the default firmware is good enough and is the best for your camera module.
There have been some posts saying that custom roms may improve camera quality, some say stock is best for camera.

If I sent the mobile to the store can he fix it completely
I installed a rom but not by Samsung but it removed the efs file and I sent the mobile to a store to return the efs file again
And I am afraid to install an unofficial rom again
And if I copy the efs to the computer and returned it back after flashing the new rom can this work
And can I install mushrooms rom or not

Ouch, you've had a horrible experience with custom roms. That's why it is good practise to back efs partition.
There are ways to restore efs yourself using your computer, but I haven't tried it myself (just follow the guides on XDA and you will be fine).
When you say mushrooms rom, do you mean marshmellow rom? You can if you are prepared for a lot of bugs

Can you give me a link have instructions to restore if I haven't backup it before?

May I please ask what rom did you flash? Doing the incorrect procedures leads to the situation you face right now.
You should be able to keep a backup of your efs using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ol-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546
Marshmellow bugs are different in different roms. No Mobile data, random crashing, not working apps are expected at this stage of development.
You can send to a mobile store to restore your efs if anything goes wrong.
Regards, gsstudios
I am asking to send the mobile to the store
To fix the camera ?
If you have a watsapp number to send you two pictures on by my s2 (8mp) camera
And by another mobile (5mp) camera
I ask to send the phone to the store to fix the camera not for efs
And if you have a whatsapp number I can send you two pictures one by 5mp camera and other one by galaxy s2 camera 8mp
And you will find that the 5mp camera is better

They could replace camera for you. As for spare parts, they may be hard to find depending on your area. If it really is hardware related, you will notice a difference. If it isn't, then that just confirms that it is just the phones limitation.
It would be nice if you could show us what the problem is with the camera by taking a few pictures in brighter sunlight as we only can tell this way.
Your findings seem very plausible as more megapixels isn't necessarily a good thing (i mean, come on Samsung!) The quality of the sensor is more important.
Sorry, I don't use WhatsApp.

Hello guys, I know it could sound really weird for you all, but here's my point: I just bought an Xperia Mini on eBay from a user claiming he had received it directly from Sony Ericsson as a free sample. I received it yesterday, it was unpacked and was sold together with the battery charger only. Nothing too strange.
By the way, after about half an hour I realized the phone had a front camera.
Ok, I watched the video and i know I'm a noob on XDA. But I'm no stupid
So don't tell me it's the light/proximity sensor! I wouldn't be here! It's a working front camera, since I can switch between this one and the "normal" one and take pictures. Here is a picture of the phone:
EDIT
Looks like I can't post links, so I'll just skip this step
Anyway, the other strange thing is that the phone comes with Android 2.3.3, build 4.0.A.2.368, and I can't update it. Not directly from the phone, nor using PC Companion. It just keeps saying the software is up to date.
So... have you ever heard of something like this? What should I do?
What is the phone model in the settings?
Model ST15i
I wrote to the seller, and he just answered me: he says that, working for a company that create applications for iOS and Android, they usually get five samples for each model. This is one of those. It could be, as I thought, a sort of "prototype". The thing is: I am grateful for the front camera, but I'd like to be able to get software updates, and this seems impossible. And also, I suppose that updating through "unofficial" ways would take to the impossibility of using the front camera.
i'm thinking of sending it back and buying a new one
I'm really envious right now...
really curious now.. Try adding photo's with the attachments feature !
where are you from?
can you share the link where you buy?
sorry for my bad english
Here's the picture of the phone... I wouldn't be envious at all, anyway. I have a couple of days to understand if I can update the phone, if updating causes the impossibility of using the front camera, and if - even worse - it can cause hardware incompatibilities, crashes, explosions or else. Then I have to decide if I want to send it back or not.
D'oh.
That's pretty cool... But it absolutely sucks that you can't update the firmware..
Maybe you can contact Sony and ask if there is any way to update..

If I was you, I wouldn't contact Sony about it
If it was a test product, don't think they will be happy that an Xperia Mini is roaming around in the wild with a front camera. In my opinion if you really want to update, flash a ROM that is made for the Xperia Mini Pro, then you might be able to use the front camera. There is barely any difference between the XMP and XM then the HW keyboard and the Front camera.
an update is not necessary. you can flash a custom roms

Well... how do I create a backup copy of my firmware? Because I'm not sure it's the same as the "normal" 4.0.A.2.368. By the way, if I flash a new ROM on my device, what happens if I try to restore to the original manifacturer firmware? Does the phone keep it in memory, or does it restore to the new, "clean" firmware?
Sorry for my bad English, I don't know how to explain it better -__-

Install CWM recovery and do a backup maybe it will work if anything goes wrong
This phone is original?
What you could do is flash any Rom you want, that is from a Stock Rom. BUT! Always back up your system so that you can go back to it if something goes wrong.
If you need any help on how to's and stuff like that just tell me and ill help you out.
I'm curious by this system
You can root, install recovery CWM and send me one backup?
at least you can use face unlock after the official ics update
Hello.
I have an unique problem and I really tried to find for someone with the same problem. My camera has a very strange behavior and it is just the rear camera. Its complicated to explain but please see the attached screenshot that I took. There are some pink/red stripes when the camera is on and when I take the pictures gets a little bettler.
Any ideas of what is going on?

Well, with all I know about cameras by being a freelancer photographer and with my little knowledge about android what I can say to try to help you is:
Did you wipe your phone between flashes? I'll guess you did since you tried multiple roms. If you didn't, You'd better try to...
If stock ROMs also show the problem I'm afraid to tell you that the only circumstances I saw this kind of problem in my life was in faulty camera sensors.
Were your sensor hit by any kind of laser or a very strong light while trying to snap a picture? Similar problems happened lately with photogs attending a concert. See link:
http://www.diyphotography.net/20000k-red-epic-sensor-burnt-lasers
If this didn't help and the problem started out of nowhere then maybe you got a faulty unit, are you still on warranty? If so, it's time to revert to stock and go to a service center!
Kindly hope I'm very wrong though... Good luck!

My feeling is that this could well be a hardware problem, not a software problem - ie nothing to do with your ROM, as you said you've flashed a few. If it is a hardware fault then see if you can get it fixed under warranty - but as has already been said, you'd need to return to your stock rom first otherwise they wont honour the warranty.
Having said that... were all the ROMS you tried AOSP / AOKP based? While I haven't had the problem you have and it does seem very unique, I have had more issues and bugs with the camera when using ROMS built from these sources on my i9300 than anything else. At the end of the day, Samsung know best how to drive their camera hardware, and so it doesn't surprise me that the vanilla Google roms can be a bit buggy when it comes to device-specific hardware such as the camera.
You could try flashing a stock-based custom rom - one built from Samsung firmware. Omega ROM that you are currently using also do a stock-based rom built on the 4.2.2 Samsung leak, I have used it and can confirm that it was pretty darn stable and the camera worked really well. It has a few mods in it, nothing spectacular, but it is stable.
Hope this helps.
This looks like a hardware problem. But can't be 100% sure.
I had a camera and someone dropped it, after dropping it, the camera started taking photos like that with stripes of different colours.
Did you drop it or water got on it?
very weird
I tried to fix permission, wipe dalvik and wipe bats and the camera starts to work again. Have no idea how long it will take. so far it is working as has never had a problem.
thanks for all answers...
and sorry to post this on the wrong section.

Okay so I got this Monster M7 tablet as a gift, its actually pretty nice, at least compared to the cheapo that I did have that barely ran anything without imploding, considering its a value tablet from Monster of all companies its amazingly stable after a firmware update. Thing is I cant find any information about rooting the darn thing, its not a huge deal except I would love to clear out of some of the preinstalled apps because the thing does have a funky split storage system that's really limiting.
Its running android 4.1 if that's at all relevant.
there are many tut for root in xda, you can try once

I am not able to post outside links, since I am a newbie. I sent you a message with the instructions. I am working on posting 10 comments so I can put the instructions here.
feel free to share the instructions, as I volunteered to test them for Monster and take no credit. Obviously I am not responsible for anything that happens to your tablet, nor is XDA. But this is a fairly safe update. I installed it on 4 tablets with no issue. I should be getting another update to test in a couple weeks from Monster and will share it when I get it.
Hopefully someone will be able to figure out how to root it, so we can remove the bloatware.

Just got those myself after sweet talking the Monster tech support, its actually reduced the need to root now that they sort of fixed the glaring memory issue though I would still prefer to see the whole internal memory unified. It would still be nice to root and dump some of this stuff (does anybody EVER actually use the twitter app that's installed on everything?)

You should try flashing to the latest firmware, it looks like you have some kind of fault, if its just software maybe the firmware will fix it. If you couldn't get the stuff from somebody that has it already here, emailing monster support, which you can find on the tablets official website and asking for the beta fix for the camera issues should get you everything you need and instructions. It still may not work tho, before I used it my front camera worked fine, rear camera was only running at 3mp though, after flash they are at correct values but I don't know if it will fix one of them not even showing up, worth a shot though if you cant exchange it for a new one.

the firmware updater app isn't going to do you any good because the beta version is not available on mass distribution yet, or at least it wasn't a week ago when they gave it to me. Took about a day for them to write me back about it. It really sounds like there is some sort of fault with your tablet tho if its still not working after getting that older update that fixed the freezing issues with the tablet. I can see both cameras with the default camera app, you can hit a button and swap back and forth between the two cameras, if that's not working then you must have some kind of defect on the tablet. The beta update they emailed me fixed the rear camera so its running at 5mp and increased the internal storage from 1gb to 2gb for apps.
Need root for monster m7
Hey guys I am having problems with ma monster m7 tablet and customer service is not took good. I really want to root it but I have tried a almost every rooting app and software available and I have come to a conclusion that monster doesn't want their tablet rooted... Does anyone know a way to root? I mean this is the reason we are on this thread right?
Have you guys tried using the tool from this youtube video? ( I can't post links) It's worked for most of my rockchip tablets running 4.1 so far. Monster should be no exception

Long short, dropped my phone which broke the rear camera module. On android 6 the phone correctly detects a disfunctioning rear camera and only allows the front camera to be used.
This issue happened on Sony stock rom, shortly after an update was released for Sony stock android 7.
Since then I have flashed a large number of roms, both stock and custom. No luck finding a fix.
On android 7, the cameras cannot be used at all. Any app that tries to use a camera hangs and crashes. Doesn't matter if apps try to load the front or rear camera, or the flashlight.
This includes settings apps, quick toggles, apps like Skype and snap chat cannot even be opened. Google apps constantly crash, Google translate takes forever to load.
Is there any way I c an separate or mark the camera not to be used at all? Would like to have front camera functionality as is in android 6.
Currently using lineage OS 14.1-20170809, android 7.1.2
Happy to mess around in root settings, suspect I might need to edit the kernel. No experience in coding or programming but competent in backups and twrp, flashing, fast boot.
Logcat indicates camera every time there's a hang or crash.
This issue has been super frustrating and I'm not quite willing to purchase a new device just yet.
I'm not sure if it's permitted, but I'm quite happy to provide litecoin (ltc, bitcoins little sister) as a way to accommodate your time and show my appreciation..
Thankyou!

No soldering my friend, just purchase the right part and stick it in there. No way to upgrade, best case scenario the new camera is as good as the old

No soldering my friend, just purchase the right part and stick it in there. No way to upgrade, best case scenario the new camera is as good as the old

Here's to hoping it's not a motherboard issue then eh? Cheers for your help mate
and that the new camera is equally good as the original!

Good to read that it's working fine again
Can you elaborate how you replaced the camera module ?
Did you follow ifixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Sony+Xperia+Z5C+Rear+camera+&+Earpiece+&+Front+camera+Replacement/53287) ?
Or did it someone replace it for you ?
Heya zach! Actually neither. Pulled apart an m4 that I have which suffers from the battery issues, to check on camera compatibility before deciding to open my device. You know what the problem was? A ****ing loose connection.
In saying that, I had some interesting success with removing references to hal and restoring a camera apk and data from an Android 6 install

No need, pleasure is in helping!
Hello, i just got the Mate 10 Pro and i still have warranty so i wanna know if i should change it or not. I have a camera problem, some colors looks snappy and i can see little weird dots... But when i take a photo/video everything looks fine, it only can be seen on screenshots. I'm adding 3 screenshots. Look at the grey part... Running B157.
This SS is taken from a video shot on the phone... It doenst look well at all...

I'm not sure tbh, I've not had that problem. But if reset of camera app & cache or phone reset don't fix it, I'd suggest you consider a replacement since you still have warranty.
Make sure you backup important data before any reset.
Do you have a case on the phone?

Yes, the original one from the package.
That's normal. It's Huawei's noise reduction
