Camera not working - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I just brought a new Z5C from Aliexpress. Everything works other than the Camera app. The autofocus doesn't work and the Camera doesn't take any pics or videos. I contact Sony support and did everything they suggested, nothing worked! I installed VSCO app and I could take pics with it but autofocus still doesn't work. I browsed the net and found that ome other users are having same problems. Will installing a custom ROM or LINeage OS solve my problems. As I understand its a firmware issue. But I really need a step by step guide to unlocking, TWRP? and installing another OS
. thanks

never heard of this b4 its original E5823 ver?
anywayz with my experience , always original firmware is best fit to camera app especially with sony's phones
if it aint fake one, it look like faulty cam hardware , ask for replace\ refund

[Q] Jiayu F1 camera autofocus problem.

My Jiayu F1 autofocus stopped working, it is locked in macro position.
Restoring the factory settings, but that did not help.
Can someone help, other working well?
Not even Custom Rom installation did not help.
In addition, a front camera focus does not function .
It would be nice if I could help my problem !
Hi, I´m having the same problem here.
Did not find anything on the internet regarding this, only a topic in a russian forum that I am preety sure that talks about this problem and how to fix it, but the translated version of the instructions did not came very clear, so I did not tried to do.
If someone could understand and do it, and post the instructions in english, I will be very happy.
I cannot post outside links, but to find the topic just search in google for "Jiayu F1 focus". The forum is

Yes, lens is pulled out, i screw it back, but still same problem.
Maybe then I will be without a camera....

Sensors only work un LP, HELP!!!

Well guys, my english is really bad so, i pasted the text what i posted in htcmania translated with google translate.
"First of all I must clarify that I am fully co desperate ... mostly because of not knowing what the **** is wrong with this phone.
I'm going to summarize everything.
A few weeks ago my mother told me that your screen is not rotated, then got into the menu of Samsung (* # 0 * #) to check that it was not a failure of the sensors and indeed it was, or seemed to be.
So far, all sensor data threw least the magnetometer and accelerometer. I tried everything, I integrate mobile disarmament, pass a neodymium magnet plate by carefully etc. Everything to do with the unit did. There was no other option for these sensors are damaged and most likely they were to touch plate change. Finally the phone could use so I will pay my S3 (which works perfectly) to my mother I stay with this as he gathered the money to buy a plate and change it.
Days later I started to lose my job ROM and the install CM12.1 got everything perfect and when you start the phone and turn perfectly broken screen, I was shocked, the first thing I thought is that perhaps CM12 using the front camera or other sensor to rotate the device, in order to assure lower the app CPU-Z to check the sensors and I find that the accelerometer data perfectly cast, lower Sensor Kinetics to make it a fabulous test and walked the other hand the magnetometer (compass) He never responded.
I thought, "Well I hit and walked out"
But it was not so fortunate who had since returning to Stock (4.3) I meet who do not respond, but I get confused the next day back to my job and under various Roms to try in my home-based CM10, 10.1 , 10.2, 11, 12.1 and a pair based on stock. Well. The accelerometer only I worked in 3 Roms, the 3 based on CM12.1.
And here most of my questions arises.
You likely they are to be a problem Soft?
If it were, returning to a stock should solve tried 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.3 and nothing.
But on the other hand I think if directly Hardware not work at all, that is because Lollipop works and not lower?
I want to clarify that it is no coincidence that works in Cm12.1 since I reinstalled and reinstalled and perfect furula (only the accelerometer)
You think? There is a possibility that there may be some partition where deleted files are communicating sensors? If so, I have possibilities to operate the accelerometer in all Roms and recover the magnetometer restoring those files?
HELP PLEASE NO LONGER DO BOYS."
The sensors only works in Roms based on CM12.1 (5.1.1)
I could run only the accelerometer in that roms, magnetometer never responded
How is posibble what the sensors works in CM Roms and not in Stock roms? Damn guys, I'll set fire to this phone.

Serious Camera Malfunction on Redmi Note 2

Hello everyone,
I finally received my Redmi Note 2 after a long wait, and to my surprise I've discovered there's a serious malfunction with the camera focus.
I just can't seem to get a decent image when shooting up close (10-50cm range), everything comes out blurry and unclear.
I tried shooting with/without flash, playing with settings, switching scene modes etc.. nothing helped, the camera just doesn't focus!
I've taken some shots from several distances and compared it with my Meizu MX4, here are the results:
**Please enlarge to see the difference**
Edit:
Sadly I can't embed any images here as I'm a new member on xda, so here are the images on another forum (copy & paste to your address bar):
Code:
en.miui.com/thread-259117-1-1.html
Flash one of the normal ROMs, like EU 7.1.3.0. If the problem will be again, then your camera is broken.
Update:
I updated from version 7.0 to 7.2 and the problem still persists.
Any advice on what to do next?
I would try flashing a custom ROM like BULEs CM 12.1, if the problem even then still persists there is something wrong with your camera. Or don't do it if you have warranty go to your supplier and check with him. Best of luck.

Hi,
I have had the battery drain on stand by due to mobile network, but the latest official update (Oreo for Customized FR) solved it.
But I have another weird issue (Since the beginning) with photo addon... I am not able to add AR effect, the "+" button is not there so I have to live with the ones who came originally (dinosaurs and Fiesta things).
My wife is having the XZ and everything is fine... Grrr... Tried also many factory reset and repair via Sony tool on PC but none of them solved my issue.
I am partiently Waiting the Pie update to check if it corrects it.

Front and Wide Angle Cams Don't Work - Xiaomi RN8T (Willow)

Trying to keep the story short:
I, by mistake, deleted the whole internal storage of the mobile. When I connected it to the computer, all I saw was some folders with strange and long names like /(&^+'(^&FSG%('!645416+'. Of course not this, you got the idea. Then I kinda formatted the storage, and was left alone with TWRP.
Ever since, my wide angle and front cameras don't work. I reverted to stock Xiaomi ROM an hour ago, yet it was also problematic: While the program said it is still being flashed, the mobile rebooted. Still, now I am on stock ROM, maybe with limited "fix", and with stock ROM I cannot use these two cameras as well.
Before reverting to stock ROM, I tried,
Different custom ROMs (including Paranoid Android, Pixel Experience, LineageOS, and crDroid). The issue was not solved with any.
Permissiver, hoping that it is a permission issue. Yet nothing changed.
trCam to see if it is because of the "number" that the apps try to connect to the cams. Again no luck.
I checked with Camera2API, and it shows only two cams (back main and front). It is okay, I am told, yet am unsure.
Strangely while these two don't work, macro does work - both in stock camera and GCam. I'd prefer no macro but front and wide but it doesn't ask me.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your replies - if there'll be any.
