Is this build.prop line only in the Touch Wiz camera? I can't find it in PAC lollipop

I don't think it's built into the TouchWiz ROMs either.. I didn't see it in there

I will pay somebody if they figure out how to fix this.. bought my note 4 off swappa so getting it exchanged isn't an option(

I just bought one on Monday (3/9/15) and I'm having the camera focus issues. I'm not sure of the build date though.
While I don't take pictures very often, I do need it to focus quickly because my kids and dogs are always on the move...

I recommend you download action shot for camera or use burst shot and pick the best pic.

The issue is the camera does not focus at all unless you tap the phone pretty hard. I will pay whoever helps us resolve this issue

Sounds like ur issue is hardware related. Have you used any camera mods. I know the one posted for this phone did way more harm then good.

I did it! I figured out how to fix the problem permanently. I couldn't believe it until I realized that my camera for the first time focuses INSTANTLY every time without any weird shaking or hitting movement.... or replace my phone unnecessarily.

I simply did the "opposite" of a know battery saving build.prop tweak that disables sensor power saving (instead of trying to put the sensors in sleep mode):

ro.ril.sensor.sleep.control=0

EDIT: It looks like it is also required to go under the Camera app "Mode"; select "Manage Modes"; and, only select "Virtual Tour". Not sure why, but that mode needs to be there; or, this fix wont work.


Problem solved... Tested even after full reboots. Works every time.

EDIT: Tweak seems to have also fixes auto-rotate to be persistently responsive.

I don't see a virtual tour nor is it available for download

No only when I used that mod. My camera would focus blurry and snap pic. I was also looking for that build prop edit but I don't have it in my build prop. Wondering if the issue could be rom related. I running jovy stock deodex

I don't think it's rom related.. I can see the camera module trying to focus but it stays blurry no matter what I do until I tap on the phone

I will have a friend look into it when he can to see what that port has different. I know a bunch of people that had issues on that port. Did you tell the Dev about camera issue he might be able to fix it with a correct file. I gonna flash tomorrow night and see if I have any camera issues.

Just read a few pages and camera is 50/50 on the rom. Some guys worked great some had fc or freezing. Try fresh download and flash right over and before opening camera go into applications manager and clear cache then reboot and open up. Test and report

I would let the Dev know in his thread as well as posting a few pics and even a screen record so they can see what you see.

Mine does it stock, or Infamous KK, and on PAC LP, which 'm running now. Gotta rap on it pretty good to focus the rear camera. Thing is, I have to do it EVERY TIME I enter the camera software. Once it's going, I can take pics one after the other. But if I simply answer a text, going back to the camera forces me to have to pimp smack it again.

That is weird. I would hit Samsung up and see what they say

I have the exact same issue. Very frustrating having to pimp smack it every time I want to take a damn picture >:[

From now on let's call this the pimp smack syndrome

From what I've been able to see from my personal experience, it does seem to be a hardware issue. I've been able to hear a "snap" when the camera falls in place. I've also carried a magnet in my pocket just to adjust the camera. But I grew tired of it and got a replacement.

The new one was working fine until I decided to root it too. I'm not sure if it's something that happens along the flashing purpose or not. Now, regardless of what ROM I flash, I have the camera problem as well.... With this new phone is not as bad as the other one. The one prior I had to pimp smack it, jajaja, but with this one I don't. I just gently put it upside down and the camera fixes itself.
