Problems with focusing on SGSIII - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I'm kinda new so if the topic was disscused give me a link if not help me a bit. Basically the camera isn't focusing the long distance photos they are all blurry and no definition what so ever , and when i slowly bring the phone closer the object is getting more and more accurate but to a certaine point then becomes blurry again and in all these time the auto focusing isnt working. And i tried most of the solutions like: reseting all camera options, turning on anti- shake mode , taping on the screen to focus, turn on autofocus, turn on macro , changing resolution , changing metering ... bassicaly all the options avabile and i want to know if it can be fixed by any software way or by factory reseting the phone. If is not clear enough i'll come back with some sample pictures and more explications.
Thanks alot! and sorry for my grammar mistakes

First step factory reset .

If it still doesn't work after a wipe, if u still have warranty. Best ask for a replace.
Sent from my GT-I9300

Well well the factory reset didn't worked... but you see i have like 2 dark fuzzy points when i'm in camera mode... see down there .... and yes i cleaned my back lense... do those 2 dark point may be the problem?

Sry for the delay... Yes i tried that too ... iam just sad that noone besides you is willing to help (
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Well i have nvr seen someone with this kind of problem so yeah. If u are someone who takes pics frequently, i recommend u to actually just bring it to the service centre and ask them to fix it. But yeah, u said ur warranty is gone. So u have to pay.

Have you tried to clear the data from the camera app?
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All> Camera and clear the app data and see if that helps.

Do you have CWM? If yes, then go to recovery mode, wipe cache. Then go to Advanced, wipe Dalvik Cache, ans then Fix Permissions.
Did it nothing happened.. its saying unfortunately camera has stopped and sometimes its saying warning camera failed

Hi, If you did A clean install wich means U did all the wipe of every thing from CWM, and as you said you even installed stock rom, then always facing problem.
I'm afraid your have a hardware failure my freind. somebody must have fallen it down by accident. Unless you bought it like that.
Here's one other thing to do :
Serach for a freind who has the same phone well worked, do a backup from recovery CWM, copy the backup file frome his phone to yours, then do a restore from cwm recovery mode. If it works, then it's Ok, if not, It might be a hardware failure.
I really hope your phone is fine
Good luck.
No one i no has a gs2 i brought a new camera for 20 euro to replace to see if it works

I'm really sorry for U.
Good Luck.
just download the original apk and install i had the same problem
By chance are you using Siyah kernel 3.1rc6 That kernel has a problem that causes the camera to fail if you are do nothing except upgrade the kernel under no circumstances wipe ANY data since if you are on that kernel you can destroy the internal memory with a wipe that can't be fixed and needs a motherboard replacement.
If when you open the camera a popup says that the camera has failed I would check immediatly if you are on said kernel.
Edit: sorry I didn't notice someone bumped such a old post that couldn't have this problem since it is before its time.
i'm having this same issue. i found that it must be a bad flex cable or connector inside the phone. if i tap hard right under the camera i can get it to fail or not fail without resetting anything in the camera app. thought it was software at first too.
have not opened the phone yet but i figure its either cold solders on the connector or loose connecotor or both. if you throw a piece of tape there inside the phone to press on it then it should fix it.

Ace camera bug

Hi
I got a prob when taking pictures.
When I opened camera,there's a stripped bar brighter than the normal zone.
After restarting camera it's still there....changed rom and nothing solved, sometimes it happens,
sometimes won't.
So hardware prob or driver broken?

Red blur in main camera

Hi,
I have a red blur which shows when using my main camera.
I thought it was dust but wife a phone has same problem.
It is only really visible on white surfaces. But once you know its there it becomes annoying.
is a common problem. Are there any fixes available
Thanks
Kieron
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Known issue. Most smartphone cameras produce artifacts of one description or another on pics under various conditions. No fixes I'm aware of.
Thank you for the quick reply. Was sure the blur was not there when I first had phone.
Thanks

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Some people say using 3rd party camera apps from Google Play (dont know specifics as I've only seen them mentioned on here & I don't use them) can reduce the artifacts in pics/improve picture quality, might be worth trying a few ?

[Q] Blurry Camera

Hello All,
Of late, I have found my camera pics to be very blurry ... even when I am using camera app to view (as viewfinder) the image is very blurry and the whites are over-exposed.
I already tried resetting to default settings, replacing camera app in system/app. Issue is still persisting.
Do you guys think a camera firmware update/ change would sort it out. If yes, where can I get it for my Samsung GT-I9100
Any other solutions ?
I suspect the issue is happening after I flashed a custom, which I cant remember the name now ... ( yes, I have been living with the bad camera for some months now ... )
This is very annoying ...
any help please.

Hello All !
Is there a way (video) to show how to open the back camera plastic cover of the S2?
I want to check whether there is dust or the plastic cover is scratch ed too much ?
Thanks

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Doesn't matter if its on macro mode or not ... pictures are blurry and out of focus.
I can see that the plastic cover in front if the lens is scratched and dirty.
Seems a design error.
I need to remove that now. Any help please. Been try with a pin but I dont know the contact points
