Camera autofocus stuck/broken - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
Been following this community for a while and decided to move on from my Nexus 6p to the pocophone which I was eagerly excited for.
I immediately updated from miui 9 with Android 8 to miui 10 with Android 9 and noticed my camera autofocus is stuck on.
This happens inside the miui camera app and also gcam on multiple versions. If I manually click focus it stays untill the scene changes. Because of this, only half the photos appear sharp while others are blurry.
I found a video online showing similar behavior But I can't link it
Would this be a hardware fault? Any suggestions I should try?
I'm going to flash a custom rom once the 72hr wait period finishes and see if a different kernal fixes it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

a bit late reply but whatever,
i have the same problem i just now i figured when i hit my phone on the side with my palm it fixes itself.
i just ordered new camera module for like 10 bucks and will tell you if it works as it should once it comes and i replace it.

How to stop the front camera from taking mirror pictures?

Hello guys, I hope someone can help me
I recently got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global (MIDO) phone and today I noticed after taking a selfie that the image is mirrored.
I went into the camera app (stock) and tried to find a setting to disable mirrored images but have so far had no luck.
Does anyone know how can I make the front facing camera take normal pictures? As simple as MIUI might try to be, I cant believe
there might not be such an option.
It is black 3/32 version, everything 100% stock

Need Help For DRM Fix On Z2 RR 7.1.2

Hello everyone, i have a problem with my Z2. I unlocked the phone and the camera became very bad (I didn't know that sony has done such a thing while unlocking). So, I updated my phone to R.Remix 7.1.2 v5.8.5 and the camera is still bad. I know that it's normal. So I'm looking for the fix but i can't find the proper one. There are some solves but they are for MM or stock nougat. I can't be sure if i should try.
Can anyone help me? My camera is very bad and it's irritating me very much. Thanks.

1) You are sure that camera have something on lens?
2) Carbon based rom have "drm fix" for camera .
3) You have try stock camera porting?
4) Unlocking bootloader give bad camera on stock sony roms and other loss of things for drm loss. In stock rom you can put drm fix or elite kernel because drm fix are built in. On custom roms with 3.4 kernel based, there is something similar but for camera.
5) If you try only 20 mpx, with normal quality(not high), on bad light, is normal that camera gives "bad" image. Use 8 mpx instead 4:3. Sensor is 4:3 and with this format you can have best quality.
6) I advice to put carbon rom instead of this or rr 5..8.4 of 21 september 2017 for mic problems of 5.8.5

i made a picture with stock and one with carbon and can't see a diffrence

With carbon based roms, i think camera better than stock in most of cases xD Expecially i'm using sony port camera. This for different parameters. On auto with those roms .Iso can't reach other 3200 iso,on stock porting scene doesn't recognized (in most of cases seems better), focus seems more affordable. But on z2 i always advice to shoot on 8 mpx 4:3 to get in most of cases best results in every situation. 20 only on really light situation to have best details,because z2 is one of first experiment with high megapixel camera and noise reduction doesnt' work well on high megapixel shoots(unlike latest xperias). And always use 4:3 for best images. 16:9 is a cropped image. And to have this results on a custom rom i think is a miracle. In most of cases, camera on those roms are going really worst. With this,is going like stock or better. Thank you for your work

Google Camera On Zenfone Max Pro Tested!

Hello everyone, I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro and installed Magisk to root the phone. All of this was done for just thing - Trying out the Google Camera as I do feel that the Stock Camera app is pathetic and that's the major reason why the Zenfone Max is not performing that great. For Google Camera to work, After you have rooted your phone, download this app called 'build.prop editor'. After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.
Thanks....google cam is definitely better.
How to root Zenfone max peo
Now that you have rooted are you able to use Tez ?
Wow man that looks far better!

hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.
yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.
https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php
Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?
1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?
2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.
And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?
Cheers,
Arnold
Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.
What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?
Thanks for the post
Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera
But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.
Looking forward for an answer !
Cheers and Peace!

It doesn't affect the battery life and apparently OTA Updates will work with Redwolf Recovery. I haven't tested it since there is no new update to test with

I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.
i just use Oneplus Camera, i think its still better than Google Camera. Go find it at apkmirror.

GCam

Just received my Mi Note 10 today and thought I'd kick things off to try and find the best GCam app.
After looking around, I've found one that supports three of the rear cameras (main sensor, wide and 2x zoom).
The build is: Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-01h.apk
I'm a new user, so can't share the link, but it's available at: celsoazevedo.com
How are the results?
Crashes for me and the couple of pics I did take were not as good as the stock camera. The first pic is gcam no night mode, the second is stock camera no night mode, no flash. It was 9pm last night dark with no street lights
I'm seeing mixed performance as well. At first it seemed to be working okay, but it does crash occasionally for me.
Hopefully this gets the ball rolling in finding a good GCam app though. I'll scour for some more apks and will post if I find anything else to try.
finally someone asked the question !
i"ve been waiting patiently since the device came out and strange enough every one seemed happy 'bout the stock camera but we know xiaomi better than that it's a ****ty app
hope someone will get the gcam mod right
..stay strong..
Latest cstark27 gcam 7.2 seems to work rather well on Night Mode and even (forced) astrophotography, however the saturation is lower than normal (increasing to max value doesn't seem to have any effect).
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog856/
Thanks this one works on nigh mode but basic camera crash with no error or with resulution error if raw enabled,
anyone knows if any gcam works with the 108Mpx mode?

For the moment Nothing
Wait for S11
Wait for Galaxy S11, That phone is going to get a 108px sensor too .
And I think developers will then be more eager to develop for such high megapixel sensors such as the mi note 10..we just have to WAIT!
---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------
And also cuz S11's sensor might be the same sensor as in mi note 10 or a 2nd generation if the leaks are correct so I guess that the S11 port will 90% work on this phone and sensor
Would be nice to get an app that supports all of the cameras. I wonder what penta setup the S11 will have?

The fu24 build mentioned at the top is the only one so far that I found to output 27 MP photos from the main cam, as well as work with the ultrawide and 2x tele.
However, all gcam builds I tried so far have severe lack of saturation with the main cam. Even those that allow increasing the saturation.
Apk and source decompile stock cam
If anyone wants to try I can send you the apk and source code decompilled smali files of the Xiaomi Note 10 stock camera App, to look for the 108Mp codes to trigger the mode, since at camera api 2 the resolution is not there, PM since can't post links yet
I'm testing this gcam https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.4.apk
From the settings enabled the wide and tele cameras, then from the advanced settings go to library patchers and set the contrast to 2.0.
In my opinion they are good, later I attach a proofIf someone wants to test and maybe work on it, it would be a great start, among other things, it starts at 27 mp

Very interested on this... not yet received my MN10 anyway!!! How's your overall experience?
Nice.colours are better If i Take awb from pixel3
Yeah taking the AWB fixes Satzration. Only Tele causes Crashes for me
Fellows I'm waiting still for my mi note 10 to arrive. However I've heard that this version from Dise could potentially work.
DMGC_7.2.016_ver.3.4.apk, from celsoazevedo website... not allowed to post links yet
It's based on 7.2 and should also run on Android 9+. You might give it a try.

Question Redmi Note 10 issues help

interested in buying the Redmi Note 10. but, then heard bout the issues with the phone with regards to the touch, display etc....
not very sure if I should still be buying this phone, so looking for some input from you guys here who already own it & are here for the ROM's.
will mostly switch to Custom ROM if I buy it.
1) are these issues related to the software or hardware when it comes to the default factory ROM shipped with the phone?
2) are any/all of the issues resolved after installing the available Custom ROM's?
3) is there anything else I should know about or consider before buying this phone?
any input from you guys will be highly appreciated & help decide my phone purchase, ty
I have the redmi note 10, 4 - 128 version running stock MIUI, 12.0.7 , and don't see any problem related to hardware, sometimes the software don't feel smooth but I think is optimization issue. I read about the screen problem in Pro version due to high refresh rate, but is a software issue too...

I think yes, of course it depends of how much money you want spend, in my case the RN 10, is the better option compared with the Samsung and others available in my country.. the screen and dual speaker are the main features for me...
I have NT10 and it have a great hardware and also miui version doen't have any problems with it.
Minor issues on the RN10 such as 10-second AOD timeout but nothing you cannot live with.

The custom roms have a major deal breaking bug with video recording. Even with Gcam the video recording doesn't record sound. Quick restart fixes it but after awhile it goes to same state. Don't know how long will it take for the developers to fix this major bug .
If you don't record much videos, maybe it won't bother you.
Other bugs in custom roms are minor and varying with each rom. But, there aren't anything serious like mentioned above.
If you don't like MIUI then custom rom is the way to go. And, custom rom solves almost all of the shortcomings and annoyances of MIUI. I don't like MIUI so much that even with video bug, I am using Pixel Plus Experience ROM.

There's a Magisk module "MIUI AOD Fix for Mi 10 Lite 5G (monet) (xiaomi.eu) v1.1 by SantiagoG242".
It bypasses this stupid limitation (hope they fix it soon)
