Hello friends, I am having problems with the main camera of my LG V30. When I open the camera it looks blurry and very bad, I do not know if it's because of the software or something, so I'm trying to try another firmware to see if that's it. If anyone has any ideas, please. I bought it on Ebay, the truth is almost new, everything is fine, it's just that little problem with the camera.
Same, problem. But I don't know how to solve it
Can you provide some sample images from main and wide angle camera shooting the same object.
Same issue, ATT from ebay, images worse than LG G6

Are you talking about ACTUAL picture taken or the camera viewfinder image before the picture is taken?
Also, what firmware version are you on?
This guy seems to be talking about the image he sees BEFORE the picture is actually taken:

Whereas the pictures themselves are probably great.
Sorry to hear. I have an ATT from Ebay and no issues, thankfully.
Have you tried a different camera app? There are numerous ports of the google camera app for the LG phone(s). You can try this one if you like, from my google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vXvtN7ZkUzahMEbSWKzwHSd68QRdp257
It's the NOHEX_MGC_6 version, it has night sight abilities.
But... any other camera app will tell you if it's the app or the lens. If it's the lens... well that's very unfortunate.

This issue is visible mainly on pictures taken, its also observable while taking them. Its worst on wide angle cam.
Is the custom camera app able to handle wide angle cam?
I dont have the phone on me, I will add info when i get back home.

Yes the google port camera app does do wide angle. But! I'd honestly suggest first thing you do is download any basic camera app from playstore. All you want to do initially is find out if the problem is the app or the lens. And (other) camera app will tell you that.
ONCE! you know which of the 2 is the problem, THEN proceed from there. I wouldn't go flashing other firmware, which is a pretty involved thing to do, when you could simply get another cam app on it and discover which of the 2 possibilities is the problem.
Cheers

tested another app with slightly different output, but overall not as good as my g6, so this points to be a deeper level of an issue (hw or some driver?)
refer to comparison of v30 and g6 for standard and wide angle (try to guess which one is which, hint is v30 is worse in both)

Yes no doubt, the V30 pics are less detailed / overall less appealing.
As ChazzMatt asked, what firmware are you running? ** IF ** it's a normal LG rom, for that type of device (the V30), then it's pretty apparent there's something wrong with the lenses.
I've owned a few G6's myself, am familiar with it's pics and (camera) specs, the V30 has better specs and (in my experience) better results also.
Honestly, the pics you indicate are from the V30 (from the specs it's easy to know which is which), look as though they are from a much inferior phone / camera.
Is there any chance you have them labeled wrong? One thing to keep in mind, with either the f2.4 or f1.9 wide angle, you need quite a lot of light to get a good picture. It does not have auto focus. Focus is set to infinity by default. So a lot of light is needed for a good pic.
As bizarre as it may sound, your pics might be considered typical of the 2, if the labels were exactly wrong!
Sorry, that's all I can think at the moment.

sw version is h93120d, kernel 4.4.78, build opr1.170623.026 - is any of that what you are asking about?
and yes, the labels are correct, they are autogenerated by zoner and I just screenshot-ed those with the actual pics.
the ebay seller (US) mentioned that the phone is under LG warranty, any idea if I can verify that or if will be able to RMA it at LG in other country (CZ, got my phone a business trip)?

I'd call LG and ask them about warranty / out of country repairs. I've never needed repairs from them so no idea how that will go.
Yes you're obviously using official LG firmware on the device, but that's not the latest available? I'd update to the latest version and hope, as you were originally thinking, it may be a driver in your version firmware? If there's no version available for update (from settings), then consider using LGUP? Downloading the most recent kdz is time consuming but might be worth a shot...
Look for directions to use LGUP, it's not bad. Need a Windows machine to run that software though.

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.
Damn my phone! Using the camera is a joke. I want to save my images to the SD card as I bought a memory card for it as I shoot lots of images and I don't want to max the phone storage out. Forever it will take a photo and you think all is good but then when you go to the gallery there is a grey square instead of the image. Clicking it grey square brings up a dialogue box saying there is no thumbnail. Trying to use it via Flickr upload, Facebook etc says the image is corrupt and can't be used.
Now, it's only the images taken with the camera that is the issue. Whatapp album, downloaded images album, Flickr download folder are all fine, the issue is just images I take with the phone?
So annoyed. Wish I had not cut a corner and bought the Samsung instead.

Today I was baking with my 3 kids, something that I don't get the time to do and thought it would be a nice bonding thing to do with them - father and children. Not wanting to ruin the moment and go for the DSLR I used my phone. All the images that I took, that was about 15 or so of each child mixing their ingredients, preparing the cakes, getting them ready for the oven, capturing their beaming smiles (which with my twin 4 year old boys is no mean feat), and then for all of them circa 45 or so images so all be ruined and not one recorded properly just sucked so excuse me if I vent a little steam.

Again, this is just hearsay
Getting back on track, looking at the image files on a PC, not one gives me the option to view, they can't be opened and again there is no thumbnail. Looking at the EXIF data and none is recorded. Trying to import one into Photoshop and it says "could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete."
Now in the past I faced this issue with the camera (this phone) and I would go straight to Flickr and upload the image before it went mental and stopped playing ball with the image so at least I had a copy. Then I would then download it back down from Flickr and that image file would be fine, unlike the original that would do dolaly.
Please feel free to keep arguing with me if you like, we're both entitled to our own opinions but its kinda pointless as it doesn't solve anything
Did You cry long after my last post ? :laugh:
How do I know You speak for everybody?
Look at title of your thread: using statement like 'for you' clearly says, that you try implement your opinion on someone else, possibly make some people not to buy this decent phone.

Well, nope. After this long after premiere of this phone there would be houndreds of posts about it. There isn't.
Tried to bond with the kids and camera didn't obey ?
Sad story. So sad that your life is rubbish if You don't have enough time for your kids. Maybe change of life style ?
Money isn't everything.

Thank You for bit of entertaiment That would be my last post in this thread as you are clearly to touchy to continiue. Don't wanna make you cry again
Yet ' feel free to argue ' , others would have some fun reading it too i belive.
Sorry for all inconvinience I made to You
Let's try and be constructive. I'm not having this problem either. Try a faster sd card. Class 10 are the fastest, I have a samsung class 6. Also turn down resolution (here I use 8M, who need 5000x3000 resolution?) Because it affects file size.
I'm not having this problem, I save to sd card and thumbnails are created and all camera images are viewable in the gallery and editable when transferred to pc. You have a problem specific to your phone/sd card.
Can you see thumbnails when you save to internal memory?
I bet it's something with sd card. Try another one. Never had problems with camera app and photos. Please look also if you enabled to save location with photo - perhaps it can't get the position and that's why it don't save them correct ( just a try to find the error)
Good luck
I disagree. I love the camera on the H7.
Paired with Google's Snapseed, I get some pretty good photos.
Also, I have no issues with SD cards and saving photos onto them.
I'd tend to agree with the original poster, in day to day use the camera is more often bad than good.
There is a huge delay when taking the photo,and most annoyingly what gets saved is different than the image that flashes on the screen when you press the shutter! What gets saved is often out of focus and with motion blur.
I find the camera very disappointing for all but well lit rock-steady slow shots.

I never have the issues mentioned by the OP, like mentioned I would hazard a guess at the SD card being at fault here. Overall I'm happy with he camera performance.
The only thing I would have liked is image stabilisation as I have quite shaky hands but I will just have to try and use both hands and lean against something for support where I can I guess.
im also pleasantly suprised by the camera. its nice n snappy and takes good photos. I dont have the issues mentioned in the OP>
Maybe a bad sd card??

I had similar problems when using Snap Camera & photo quality 100% & save to SD Card, With stock camera I never had any problem. So it is definitely a problem of write speed of SD card. Try another one with higher "Class" and pictures will be ok.
I've had none of the issues op is referring to. However i've had issues with phone crashing after taking full hd video. However it is a separate matter and belongs in a different thread.
just got my H7....more than happy with the camera and the photos (set to 20meg)....i won't talk about the speaker phone part
Im too happy with the camera of Honor 7. The issue mentioned here might be bcos of SD card low speed (or) higher RAM utilization.
EMUI should really fix all the RAM management issues.

If you are using standard photos, you should get 20MP.

If this continues then better buy iPhone 8 Plus or Note 8...

This was an early worry on the V20 but besides the first report or two, I never remember seeing it come up over at the V20 forum again. Jerry Rig was able to make it crack with pressure but it didn't happen with the V30 in their destruct test for it. I don't want to jinx myself but the glass on my V20 is still perfect but it has also been in a case since day one. Same for the V30, case since day one. But I'm also a photographer and always conscious of my lens. Call it muzzle discipline for cameras.
Frankly, that damage photo from the first link you posted does not look like spontaneous glass breakage to me. That looks like it has been impacted.

I have a plan to buy a phone in Dubai or Germany, because in my country they wont sell V30, but how buy it now when this phone have this problem and I don't have official LG service in my country :'(
LG search from you 100$ to fix this it is too much...

I watched about 5 seconds of that video and just couldn't watch it anymore. Why in the heck does he have those awful sunglasses on indoors? What is he hiding? Why does he have the most hideous music in the background. There's better free music out there. And why does his video have to be almost 15 minutes long? I'm not watching 15 minutes of that.
Ok, I made to about 5 minutes in and give up. All I can say is that A) I've never had an issue with my V20 despite that having been an issue with early units (I have an early unit of both the V20 and V30) and knock on wood that I'm not jinxing myself with my V30.
B) If you search anything, and I mean anything, you will find many examples of anything in the world. The days of the Googlewhack are long gone. The question is what percent are having this issue. This phone has been out how long and no one on this actual board has reported this issue. Right now all we have are a couple of reddit threads with one being highly suspect.
It's safe to say if your searches for such a problem turn up nothing to the point that you have to query a device forum as to whether anybody is having such a problem, then there is no problem.
One persons' problem can be greatly magnified -- 100x or 1000x, who knows -- and if it's happened to him three times, then we can all infer the problem isn't with the phone.
I Remember this was a worry of the Nexus 6p. With the glass visor cracking. I had my Nexus 6p on launch day. Never had a problem with the glass visor. Even after replacing the battery, which you have to remove the visor to do. I'm not worrying about my V30 doing this.

this issue has happened for quite a few lg phones (including the g6, v30, v20, etc) and the issue is excluded from warranty replacement. even though the issue isn't from the user, they count it as user damage.
if you look at the crack pattern, it looks more like stress cracking than impact or external pressure.
the way the glass cracks is very consistent, even between phone models, and the majority of the cases i've seen occur without any knowledge of the cause. (the guy in the video had a beefy case that kept the lens away from surfaces, and the phone hasn't been dropped).
if you google camera lens breaking on an lg phone model, you will see quite a few cases, and none of them are covered under warranty.
i think in the v30 it is like $85 to replace it, and you will have to have a backup phone in the meantime.
there have been a couple threads on reddit showing a bunch of them cracked in a similar way, with no other visible damage on most of the phones.
i hope it doesn't happen to me. i don't have time to deal with that bull****, especially if it isn't covered under warranty.
I like the V30 and this is just scared me. How I say they are no LG Official service here, and im planing to buy from other country.
I have one my friend and he is in Dubai now, and I see rhe LG V30 128GB model V300S. Do you know something about this model V300S?
And I think it is unlocked, so will this phone network work worldwide ? Im living in Montenegro, And in Dubai will be very good discount price then in EU. So will this phone (gsm, 3g, 4g) work im my country?
Thx a lot for your answers

Are you sure that Dubai, UAE gets only the LG V30+ (plus is 128 GB)? Is it something like LG V300S (might be single SIM) or LG V300SU (might br dual SIM) ? As for root or unlocked bootloader like the LG G6 or most LG flagships is the single SIM international version (LG H870) and the (LG US997).
As for the LG V30 it's the same for unlocked bootloader i.e (LG H930) & (LG US998). I don't think other variants will be unlocked.
If LG G6 is sold in Dubai it LG (H870S) that is not bootloader unlocked , i'm not sure if there's a LG H930(S) in the LG V30. Did you mean a LG V300K instead of S?

Probably post in one of the threads about debloating and not in a thread about lens cracking?

I watched about 5 seconds of that video and just couldn't watch it anymore. Why in the heck does he have those awful sunglasses on indoors? What is he hiding? Why does he have the most hideous music in the background. There's better free music out there. And why does his video have to be almost 15 minutes long? I'm not watching 15 minutes of that.
Ok, I made to about 5 minutes in and give up. All I can say is that A) I've never had an issue with my V20 despite that having been an issue with early units (I have an early unit of both the V20 and V30) and knock on wood that I'm not jinxing myself with my V30.
B) If you search anything, and I mean anything, you will find many examples of anything in the world. The days of the Googlewhack are long gone. The question is what percent are having this issue. This phone has been out how long and no one on this actual board has reported this issue. Right now all we have are a couple of reddit threads with one being highly suspect.

I wear sunglasses in my videos sometimes because I have Graves Disease. Something I've never even needed to explain until now. So kudos to you.
The video is 15 minutes because it takes some time to explain what happened, the background on my purchase, as well as the results of my contact with LG.
Cant fault you for hating the music. I listen to metal but tried to choose something accessible and not commonly used.
If you took the time to read the comments on my video you'd see many people reporting this as very much a real problem.
Replacement lens available

Hi to all,
Waiting the LG V30 come to my country and buy it, I see on Reddit that they are people who post that lens crack suddenly without falling! Why? The phone with 900$ have suddenly lens crack without falling for a third time. Why is this happening?
If this continues then better buy iPhone 8 Plus or Note 8...

if you look at the crack pattern, it looks more like stress cracking than impact or external pressure.
the way the glass cracks is very consistent, even between phone models, and the majority of the cases i've seen occur without any knowledge of the cause. (the guy in the video had a beefy case that kept the lens away from surfaces, and the phone hasn't been dropped).

From the v20 lens breaks that i've seen they were mostly impact. Gunshot like. Including the spontaneous ones where the user swears nothing happened prior to the crack
What i surmise happens is, since the lens is tempered glass, its strong but if damaged will remain damaged without showing it. So if it gets impacted you check, hmm, nothing you forget about it. But the lens is compromised now and over time will give way sometime in the future and appear spontaneous
i hope it doesn't happen to me. i don't have time to deal with that bull****, especially if it isn't covered under warranty.

Isn't covered by warranty and the worst time to have it crack is within six months from launch. Service centres charge a lot that is if they even have the components to fix. One v20 user i know ordered the parts of aliexpress couple of months after. he did have a habit of dropping the phone though. he figured in the end what happened was it fell between the bed and night table and must have got knocked somehow
My 1-month old LG V30 phone is having the same Camera Lens crack issue.
I think this is a design flaw, we should start a class action law suit

i think that you might be going too far.
but, first of all it is NOT the lens that cracks, but the camera glass COVER ...
i came here because i was courious how the lens cracks having OIS.
the replacement glass is very cheap and not that hard to install
it can even crack because of differences in temperature, or bending in pocket and applying pressure on the edge of the glass cover. there are SO many reasons which could cause this BESIDE dropping the entire phone.
it could crack if you use it without case and putting it on a table because the camera is above the back cover.
literally it cannot break if you put your phone on a stand and leave it there, watching it and waiting for the camea glass cover to break and that's why my money are on bending in your pocket
Hello guys i have this very weird issue and i dont know when exactly it first occured and what the reason is. Basically both autofocus and manual focus of the rear camera(not the wide angle one) arent working, the image just remains slightly blurred. It attempts to refocus but to no avail. The only thing that i could think about is the latest software update i installed some weeks ago. Havent done factory reset since i bought it 7 months ago, could it possibly be a software bug or ahould i procceed with the warranty, thanks in advance
The problem isn't software... Unfortunately the G5 was plagued with poor camera hardware. I just replaced mine last night with a $20 camera from eBay. It took less than 10 mins to do. It's a very simple replacement process. There are plenty of videos showing how to do it as well. Good luck!

Hi. Could you post the link of the module you bought? There are 3rd party camera modules, but I don't know if they are comparable to the factory one. Thanks.

Hey I am having the same issue. Autofocus does not work on the primary camera. Fortunately, I am getting a new camera module in under $ 10 here in pakistan. My LG g5 is Korean variant ( LG U+) and the camera replacement available is of (H830) model. so I wanted to ask like can I replace my faulty camera with this other variant's camera?
Okay so I have the LG G5 US992 Titan from U.S. Cellular and just like some others who own this phone (regardless of carrier) I've noticed that a lot of the time the main rear camera is very grainy in low light or if you zoom in, even in good lighting conditions. I'm making this thread to see if there's a way to swap in a better camera from another phone and have it work, or if it just simply wouldn't work at all. I know there's a manual mode and it's very good, but I like to use my camera in auto mode a lot of the time when I want to get a quick shot of something.
I know this may seem like a stupid question to ask, but I don't know much at all about this kind of stuff, and I'm curious, so I thought this site would yield the best answers. Thanks for taking the time to read this, have a great day. ^_^

Swapping the camera itself would not work due to the software programmed for that particular model.
If you want better low light shots, consider using one of the GCam ports. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/themes/cstark27-google-camera-mod-wide-angle-t3747263 The processing algorithm in those apps brings out significantly more detail than the stock camera's own HDR settings.
