I have two devices x820 and x829 flashed (almost) every rom /feels like
And I dont get the focus fix thing.
In some conditions I cant focus well,
if an object is very near for example,
but usually I dont realize that somesthing is wrong with the focus.
Maybe I am to blind to see, I dont know, but because I also support other peoples x820
I would like to know how to find out if the focus fix is needed and
how the focus problem occurs.
Thanks to you all for the great support of the Le max 2

If the focus is not working your image will be blurry. And yes if the object is too close it will fail to focus. If you're really not sure if the focus is working try taking some pictures and see if they are blurry or make a video and tap on a object near you (a figure or a glass) then tap a object far away like a wall or something.

Actualy it depend on what camera module you have in your device,
if you dont have focus problem ( focus is blocked or what and photos are blurry ) then you are ok, you dont need focus fix, however if you flash kernel ( or you turn on focus switch in setting if your rom support it ) your camera will still works fine, however your focus will make clicking noise what can damage it,
so if your camera focus normaly ( it will not if you put your object about 2 cm before lens as guy upper her already told ) you are fine and you dont need anything to solve,
if you r photos are blury af you just need focus fix kernel or rom with focus fix toogle.

I have a problem with the camera, meaning that as soon as I open the application I hear a noise (two shots) and if I look at the camera in the meantime, I see that the sensor moves. What can I do?
I have a Litening 1.2!

I dont think that is a Problem had that clicking to on other phones its the lens that focuses, clicking 2 times when you aktivate the camera and when you switch
to Video mode,
The problem with the Cam for me is the real bad Focus, its almost imposible to scan barcodes etc. with google googles , etc..
im on newst Cam Firmware !
got 2 with this camera noise and 3 without.
no clue if it's okay ? why different... other lenses ?

Did you update through Samsung apps on your phone?
If not, you might have installed a wrong version that doesn't match up with the cam hardware in your phone.
I'm not sure if this a valid reason, but there are some different cams out there which need different firmware versions

this is mostly because there are at least 3 different cam manufacturers, you can see this clearly because of their different firmware versions (which is of course vendor specific)!

ya, that clicking is part of your problem, it is sitting to far out and can't go back. It shouldn't smack the housing and make clicking noises. I have this issue to, might send it it to be fixed or wait for replacement parts to become available.
Same problem but worst
Me and a buddy of mine both bought the 9100 together of the same shlef. Mine does the clicking sound and his doesn't. But my problem is worst here because it seems that no photo outside of 20cm range comes out in focus.
I am just unable to take a decent photo of anything further than this.
Could a FW fix solve this? how do i know what is my cam mode is? and which FW belongs to it?

I also have issue with the camera: the auto focus is not working at all.
I can't tell if it's after flashing litening 1.2 or if it has always been the case...
I have applyed the samsung camera firmware upgrade.
hmmm...i think when designgears says the clickcklick sound of the camera is a defect, then it is one
i can't really belive in this vendor specific camera moduls for a noise reason... that whould be just to much quaility difference if samsung is doing that ?!

I and 4 of my friends have the phone One with litening Rom1.2 the others all have stock one of them made yesterday the firmware update the other 2 not
and we all have the clicking sound !!
can it be that so many devices have this defective cam,
and non of us coud get a good focus on close distances 10 - 15 cm
I just caled samsung support Austria and they sayd the clicking is normal !
I also have the clicking from the beginning and i havent experienced any Problems. Neither with Barcodes nor with photos. But to be sure someone should test the exact same scenes with 2 devices and post the results.
I dont really remember but i think the clicking just started after the Camera Firmware Update.
I have clicking with camera360 app and no clicking with standard camera .....
Focusses perfect down to 10 cm even when then going to max zoom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
how can i test if it is focusing good ? which mode and settings ? thx
Clicking sound; no problems.
It looks like the clicking is a symptom
It looks like the clicking is a symptom, and what I think it means is that the lens is not sitting in its right position.
I assume that the further the lens sits from its intended position, the worst the focus will be.
All in all, if the lens sits pretty close to its intended position then the photos will come out good even though you hear clicking.
On the other hand, other people might be less lucky and the lens position will be totally off and so will not be able to take decent photos at all...
This is of course my theorem, not my knowledgeable absolute...
It's funny how the clicking of the camera is ALWAYS an issue with every new phone for some people. Many phones have it (not only the SGS2) and it's normal. Some people might have problems with the camera and the focus, but it has nothing to do with the clicking sound. It's just the camera's initialization.
Hello there,
I think the camera flash is way too strong on the SGSII. Every photo I do with it make people close their eyes (I do it too) which is a pain is the ass.
I searched before for this problem and found several threads from 2011 like this one but no apparent solution.
Since then, is there a way/an app that can fix this ? I'm running cm-10.1
Thanks
I don't know of any solution that would help you, I only know that most phone cameras have that kind of problem. My hint is turn off the flash and try making the pictures with minimum exposure in party or candlelight mode. Normally pictures with flash suck anyways ^^ so try working without it. :good:
hey man, don't go making people blind!

Sometimes the flash is pretty much needed. Thank you for your answer anyway !
So, hi guys.
I just came home with my new Z2 after giving back my Z.
I downloaded the german ftf and the new flashtool for the Z2 and updated to this firmware.
I'm really not sure if this is related to the firmware update but I don't think so.
My issue is quite simple: the camera autofocus doesn't work. It just simply has a fixed focus (which works great for the near stuff but 100% fails for all other distances).
It's not a slow autofocus, it just doesn't work, the camera doesn't move, you don't hear any focusing noise. the camera button doesn't focus, tap on the screen doesn't focus.
Basically all my pictures and my videos have an amazing quality, but are all out of focus.
I googled around but looks like nobody has this issue. Is that fatal? Should I return it?

Xperia and almost all smartphones have digital focus
there s no special hardware for zooming
SO if you have problem in one feature of camera App do this;
- use another camera app : for example google camera and check if it can do auto focus
- install another firmware or just reinstall current firmware
- repair firmware by PCC
- after these IF sill thr s no auto focus >> take it to sony service
:good:

Autofocus and (digital) zoom are two different things.
I just update the 402 firmware and now my camera won't focus at all. It was fine before. Wtf...
Got the same Problem as you i have cyanogenmod 12.1 and my autofocus doesn't work as well on my z2. It worked with the stock Rom but after i unlocked, rooted and flashed CM on it, the autofocus doesn't work anymore. I Tried other camera apps but the AF just won't work. Have you solved the Problem yet? I'm considering to flash back to stock Rom but CM is so awesome

I can confirm that the focus button doesn't work on CM12.1 on my Z2 and the focus state doesn't work on the Google camera app, but I found an app that makes use of this autofocus feature - DSLR Camera Pro. The only downside to it, however, is that you can only take photos with it, and plus it's a paid app (but was worth it). Maybe there are other apps that can detect this autofocus, but I haven't researched this problem fully.
a m i feel the same tried and nothing drm reset the camera still faulty even if anyone has any solution please write
Same problem here...
Same issue except it won't even take photos and just sits there trying to focus.
The only fix is to revert to the previous official OS if you think it's worth it...

I hate necro-ing, but I have this last described problem too. Phone tries to focus, and the app stays that way forever.
I thought it was the result of restoring a TWRP backup from another phone, but resetting anything camera-related does not solve the problem.
Current config: Z2 system, Z3 Compact data

Hitting the top part of the phone where camera module is located with the back of my finger helped. This happened to me after flashing a camera mod.
It's now working without problems
So I recently bought two Le Max 2 X829's from Banggood for $196 each and didn't find out about the fingerprint sensor problem until after... I haven't received them yet, but I would like to know what solutions have you guys been offered when you contact your sellers.
I haven't had any problems with Banggood or their customer service. When something I buy is defective, I just email them directly, with a description of the defect, pictures and a YouTube video too if possible, and I make sure to tell them that I have already troubleshooted, checked the forums, and tell them that the defect is common so that they don't give me the run around. They usually go straight to offering me replacement parts for free, or a partial refund if the device still "works" and can be fixed by me, or simply a return label if I insist that I want to return it.
Chime in...
Nothings, its too expenisve to send it back to China. I just resell them here in the Netherlands, you will easily get your money back.
its a software issue, if u change the rom it gonna work good!
if u want the stock the 23s Chinese ROM and 19s Indian ROM are the best....
but theres are more roms that can help you with that!

Why don't you just stop talking about things you don't know anything about!?! I guess you haven't read only one post in fingerprint issue thread. Otherwise you wouldn't write something like this.
Just search for my posts inside the main fingerprint issue thread to get yourself some information about what you are claiming to know.

I've read through several of the threads and it was a massive waste of time. The forum for the Le Max 2 is pretty disorganized, there's very little moderation, and no consensus can be drawn as far as solving the fingerprint sensor problem is concerned. Just a bunch of inexperienced people rambling and contradicting each other.
I have plenty of experience and two Le Max 2's on the way, so I'll draw up some tests and make an objective observation when I receive them.
With the unorganized and inexperienced points you are absolutely right. That's why I give up on explaining to many people how to solve the problem. Me and my girlfriend are both running Le Max 2 with madmax rom for long time now. In the beginning my device had a totally dead fingerprint scanner. After some research, trying few settings and stuff I was able to break it down to Qualcomm drivers/firmware.
In German board we were able to get most of the phones FP running again. (Experienced users phones).
Nearly all devices with Dead FP's are running on old couco 92 rom.
If you're facing issues after receiving the phones flash another room ( stock Chinese or custom based stock from the forum) and try to follow the instructions i wrote in the fingerprint section...
That's said, my girlfriend and I have the x820 version.
Give it a shot and you will see the point of the problem and how to solve it...

I have x829 and changing roms, modems, unbrick method, haven't worked in bringing FP back to life. So it may be mixed, in my case seems like hardware issue.

Nope, i tried that but fp still not working.
I flash several rom from 16s to 20s cn, 23s cn and 19s india, also 3 cusrom such rr. On each rom i tried to flash several modem firmware, 16s usa, 19s india, 23s cn and finaly latest dev version from yadi.sk/xxxxx..
So i guess you just lucky.. ?
On my case fp work only several hour since unboxing. Now it cant recognize any fp when i tried to register it. But the weird part is sometime it kinda work for taking pictures using camera. I said kinda because it works 50% of the time, when working i touch once but the camera is taking 4 or 5 pictures.

Oh forgot, i bought this problematic x829 4/64 phone on banggood. I already mail them, they only offer me to resend it back and full refund. But that too expensive, i must pay for shipping back to china plus i already paid 60 usd for duty and tax when i got it.
Fyi i already bought several x820 and 1pcs x829 6/128 from aliexpress, all working great. another x829 6/128 coming this week from aliexpress, i hope it doesnt defective like this one.
It is HW related issue for sure,i tried all of fixes laying around,nothing help...X829 4/64 from banggood

I flashed the Indian 19s firmware last night and the finger print scanner is working back now, though it is a bit slow (not as fast as Redmi Note 3 ), but it works 100% of the times. The only thing abnormal I have done is that I have scanned my finger twice ( same finger).
Previously I tried all tricks with LOS and Mokee and could not get the Finger Print scanner to work.

The problem i had before was that the FP sensor did not respond when trying to unlock i.e. looks like it was OFF. Previously even if you left the finger on the sensor for 10 seconds i did not react at all. The only cases when the FP reader worked was immediately after locking. Also the sensor did not have any problem adding fingerprints.
Hi,
Today i found that my phone when rotated to horizontal do not focus...
In vertical is ok. I tried in expert raw and in ST is the same issue...
I tried clear data in camera app but is the same...
In expert raw when manually focus it finally jump in but when I start the app again issue come back
This is how it looks
