I am still able to use Ultra Wide Angle and 2X zoom camera in GCam. In Facebook messenger it started to use 2X zoom also. But I can't seem to get the regular 1X Camera to work
Yes I restarted a few times.
I am on xiaomi.eu 9.4.11
I hear rattling if I shake the phone which makes me worried it might be a hardware problem. The rattling is only in the camera region. Other parts don't rattle.
What do I even do because I'm in USA and I don't have Xiaomi service centre or anything near me
Okay Update: I went to wipe Cache but accidentally factory reset. But that seemed to have fixed it. My suspiscion was on Magisk Module for Gcam. However, neither was gcam able to connect to the camera so nvm. idk what happened. Maybe because I shook the phone enough to where it got connected again.
It still rattles but the camera at least works.

It pains me to say, but I also hear a slight rattle when shaking it, from around the camera! It causes me no issues but I'm unsure what to do, if anything, about it...

They all rattle.... I see it positive. I hope one sensor have OIS and it will be activated in the future. [emoji1787][emoji1787]
Wishful thinking I guess.
Rattling is normal, moving parts of autofocus do that sound. No OIS.

Hi there,
I've recently purchased a Motorola Atrix and was very happy with it, until once upon a time, I came to take a picture and a lot of click / pop sound sounds were emitted from the mobile.
I was a bit scared and immediately opened the back cover to see if it was the battery, but to my surprise it was the camera clicking noise.
The phone was taking pictures fine for the first week and although I noticed some noise, I knew that this was normal as stated in this forum as well.
After that, clicking noise, the camera is not focusing well while taking a picture. It's kinda stuck on Macro and can't focus on distant objects / scenes.
P.S. I 've also tried to keep pressing the shutter button to focus. The square comes green and the image is blurred. So yes, i know how to use the camera.
The preset is not in Macro Mode, I've tried Auto, Landscape, everything I could.
Picture quality also deteriorated. I've tried restarting the mobile, pulling out the battery and clearing the camera cache from the applications. I've also tried a HARD RESET but still the same crappy photos =[ video is also kinda strange as well... And at night, the camera is horrible...
Do you think this is a software or hardware problem?
My Atrix is still stock and it came with Gingerbread 2.3.4
System Version: 45.31.0.MB860.Vodafone.en.EU
Build Number: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
Thanks,
Francesco
Attached are the pics ;/
Maybe try to install MIUI camera from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244829 and try to take some pictures. If they are blurry too then it is hardware. If not then software. Either way I would seriously consider returning it for repair or replacement if you can.
So I just download that and install it? Does it need CFW? or? Thanks!
P.S. I've just tried that camera from MIUI, and still the same problem, I think it must be a hardware problem :/
Bummer. I'm out of ideas.

I thought I bought a good phone. Guess I hv to return it ;/ Any thoughts if I keep the same phone model or get a replacement with an Lg Optimus 2x? It has an 8mp camera with full hd support and hdmi mirroring out of d box. The only drawback 512mb of ram instead of 1gb and less resolution on screen although lg has an ips display.
P.s. would you recommend any other model with same specs? I would love to get an htc but they're expensive :/.
What do you think about the HTC sensation compared to Atrix?
Thanks!
I would personally get another Atrix, unless I could get one of the new 720p display phones like the Galaxy Nexus or Razr Maxx. The camera and screen on the Atrix aren't the greatest, but overall I think this is a pretty solid phone. I haven't had hands on experience with many other phones though either.
Hmm I see, though if you would opt between an HTC Sensation and the Motorola Atrix, which one would you rather go for as solid OS and performance as well as the durability of the phone?
I also had a pretty bad experience with the Motorola Defy, constant lags and so on on the stock Rom, though it was a really tough phone. Seems Motorola engineers don't quite optimise the OS for the handset ;/ Some also say the camera of the Atrix is able to take better photos but due to the lack of software support it's kind of choppy.
As far as CFW I know a bit or two but am a bit afraid since you void the warranty... And not certain whether you can re-install the original one. Say the screen goes, you now have a jacket potato in your hand haha
it looks as if you have your camera set to macro
I've used all of the image settings, Auto, Portrait etc, and I'm sure I know how to use a mobile camera as I also have an SLR camera.
I also keep touching the shutter button so that it automatically focuses, I've even moved the focus point and tried using the autofocus by keeping pressing the shutter button. Same result unfortunately ;/
Try downloading another camera app off the market, anything at all will do and see if the problem persists. If it does then it may be worth sending it in with a broken camera. My camera makes the odd whirr when it focuses but no clicks or pops.
I did, I've tried about 2, the MIUI camera and the CameraFX one, same result, seems the autofocus motor is stuck on macro ;/
Yeah, I have the exact same issue on my Bell Atrix 4G that I bought used a while ago. Was working fine until recently.
Here's what I found, I tried the MIUI camera, and whenever you tap the screen it is supposed to turn on the LED and focus the camera.
First off It didn't work, then I smacked the phone against my leg, and after that it started working, definitely flaky hardware in the camera.
This and the flaky SD card trigger are both issues I would definitely be contacting Motorola about if my phone was under warranty.
Overall the phone is pretty solid, and running CM 7.2.0 RC3 has made me very happy with the phone again.
Oh well, maybe just have to put up with it until I get the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
yep, it actually was stuck, got it refunded as I am planning on getting the One S or something like that, since the Galaxy S 3 or One X would be too big and I wouldn't want to drop such phones ;/
I might try ordering a replacement camera off the internet since the Atrix 4G is supposedly one of the easiest phones to fix yourself.

Hello XDA,
I have a problem with my video recording on my Lumia 920 and I believe it is caused by the floating lens. While recording, if I tilt the phone up and down at a resonably low speed, I get a strange shaking effect and the device records a sound too. I will post a video recorded on the 920 to show you what I mean.

Do you think I can fix this myself?? I don't really want to return the device.

"this video is private"
And no, if you are having a hardware problem, it's going to need to be fixed by nokia.
The video is now public. Sorry for that.
Sounds to me like it is the lens settling in your camera after a quick shift in movement. The springs trying to steady the camera will cause that blurring effect. As to how you would fix that, I'm not sure. I havent noticed anything like that in my phone, but I have yet to try that test with my phone personally.
Disable continuous focus and you should be fine.
I've tested mine and it doesn't do this at all. I'm pretty sure you have a hardware fault so you'll need to get it replaced.
So far life's good. The battery life is solid, fast charging is unbelievably impressive, screen quality is great and the speaker is impressive. Being new to LG coming from the M9 I'm not sure how to do the following with the camera: Bokeh (blurred focus shots) and Macro shots.
These were options on the M9 as camera settings.
Does anyone know if these are settings or how to set great bokeh or macro shots in manual mode? Any help would be huge. Also if anyone knows how to turn off swipe on the keyboard that would be a bonus too. Thanks in advance.
Can't help with the Bokeh. Macro shots seem to be pretty easy to take on this phone though, point and shoot.
As for the keyboard, go into keyboard settings, and turn off "Path input"
The Bokeh effect isn't on the LG Camera (yet I'm hoping) and it doesn't work on the Google Camera.
I've had a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the regular lens, not on the wide angle lens. It's happened a couple of times now. I thought the lens was just dirty but no matter how much I cleaned it, the lens just couldn't focus properly. I tried focusing on multiple items, near, far, single point, multiple points, etc, but pics were still blurry. Both times I just rebooted the phone as last resort and it seemed to fix the problem. Must be some kind of software issue. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix without having to reboot every time it happens?

Yes same problem. Is this only in Google camera for you? It was in every app for me. I had to exchange it.
It was on the built in camera app on the G5. I've since cleared the cache and haven't had the issue come up again.
So my OIS has been acting up lately. Kind of weird. Like when the camera app is open, if I move the camera, the lens seems to keep 'drifting' ever so slightly after I stop moving my hands. It comes to a complete stop after a few seconds, but its very strange. If I move my hands again, to get a new photo framed, same thing happens. The sensor seems to keep drifting maybe for a second more even after I've fully stopped.
I've wiped data from the camera app, did usual factory reset, and problem persists. I'm thinking something is wrong with the OIS motor or how the sensor is positioned within the OIS?
If LG won't honor warranty(I'm 2nd owner), I'm thinking of getting an OEM replacement camera sensor. My question: Is the OIS module inside the module that houses the camera sensor, or is it somewhere else on the device? I was looking at this replacement for example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Back-Re...132462?hash=item1a14dc502e:g:t8YAAOSwOVpXVU1U
I'm wondering if something like that replacement part also contains the OIS module. Let me know what you guys think. I can't seem to find answers anywhere if the OIS is with the sensor or someplace else.
I only experience that drifting issue with the slow-mo recording.
Why don't you just ask LG customer service? That would have been my first move.
Honestly that's how OIS has behaved for me on my Lumia 1020, Note 4, and LG v10.
Hi all, can anyone please confirm if you grab phone and give it a rapid shake, can you feel any sort of rattle from like the top of the phone, where the camera Lenses are? If someone could please confirm if it is normal or is it just my phone which does this? It does feel like the camera lenses are moving slightly.
Yes my camera lense rattles when shaking the phone . Doesn't seem like a big deal. Only quality control issue with phone I can tell.
Well to be honest it does not bother me much, however for a device which comes at this price I'd of expected this sort of matter not to occur. Anyway thank you for replying. You have put my mind at rest as I thought there is a legitimate issue with my phone.

Thank you for replying. Good to know we all experience the same thing.
If my understanding is correct, the phone does have movable lenses for the zoom feature...correct?
I would venture a guess that what you're hearing is those lenses moving slightly.
That's a common noise and not a manufacturing issue. It's the OIS on the camera modules. If you open the camera app and then shake it, the rattle should stop or reduce. I believe 2/3 modules have OIS, so with one in use the other might rattle just less noticeable than both together.
I'm waiting for the delivery of my Xperia, so currently rocking a Samsung note 10 which also rattles but stops if the camera app is open
Mine also does it but it is normal.
It was the same for previous xperias I owned too, even those with 1 camera lens.
This is not a defect or quality control.
This is normal and expected behaviour.
I think the information about it should be also possible to find in user manual.
Nothing to worry about.
The rattling comes from the Dynamic Vibration engine...same thing with the Xperia 1II
The Dynamic Vibration system just uses a larger haptic vibration motor. I tried it, it's a gimmick. Turned it straight back off again.
The rattling is just the lens elements - remember, they have to move slightly to be able to focus, and also the periscope-style telephoto does 70 and 105 mm using the single telephoto module, so that has to move as well. Plus you have all the usual OIS wiggle. It's no big deal.

Sony's Xperia 1 and 5 Mark III smartphones introduce a variable 70-105mm telephoto optic, 120Hz OLED displays, and are the first cameras ever to shoot 20 fps with temporal noise reduction. Read on for an in-depth look.
