Mi5s autofocus problem - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi all
Got new mi5s 4gb vrsion, autofocus do not work when camera start for 10sec-1min , after that all ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZhf2_zmSg
Same thing on oem and eu rom ,as well as few camera apps.
Any help appreciated

Please try autofocus not on a TV, they tend to be hard to focus on. Try it outside in daylight please.

Same thing m8
First time autofocus does not wok for 1 minute, than after than when you start it, does not work for 10-15 seconds.. Works normal for close up objects right on, but for far, no.

Same thing here... Could that be a driver issue?

This issue is known in at least one custom rom. Please make sure that you run an official rom. I believe the xiaomi.eu (not official rom) is also ok.

I'm running latest dev ROM from xiaomi.eu.
I also have the same issue on lastest official China global and China dev

That's not good then Not sure if it's a hardware issue in your case. Haven't read of this issue in the English xiaomi.com forum, so there can't be many with this issue.

I have same problem (4/32GB version). My mi5s arrived today and I couldn`t believe. Now I have two questions in my head "Is that software or hardware" and "Is it possible to be fixed"

I found a workaround (IDK if this works only for me)... Just open stock camera then open and close camera settings (gear icon). The autofocus should work now!
Let me know if this works for anyone else

I have the same issue when I try to take a photo or record a video . We are a lot of people with the same error. You can check the MI5S official forum at MIUI Forum and you'll see more threads talking about the same but there's no anwser from Xiaomi yet.

I'm also looking for a fix... Maybe only a patch for stock camera app until the problem is solved by xiaomi. I'll keep you updated

When I look to /etc/camera directory I can see 3 configs files for imx378 and two specifics for two manufacturers : liteon & semco (samsung). My sensor seem to be a liteon. Could the bug be link to a specific manifacturer ? Maybe a drivers to optimize for a specific manufacturer ?

Some people say that the last EU ROM, 6.12.22, improves the autofocus. Can anyone confirm it?

For me it's the same as on 6.12.8, BUT I tried the unofficial cyanogenmod for MI5S which seems it hasn't any issues in camera autofocus

I have the same problem.
But shaking, or knocking don`t help.
Even if i wait 15-30-60 sec, autofocus don`t work.
But first 2 weeks it works perfectly.

Camera focus issues with 2016-devices on custom roms

Hi there
Looks like i am not the only one, that having issues with the camera focus or autofocus on a newer G4 (H815) with custom roms.
It is definitely not a hardware issue, comes with ALL custom roms so far. it does not relates to stock roms (works fine there - tested many times)
marshell has written down a few posts to this issue. check his profile.
Any dev here, who can help?
Or is there any solution on its way?
Cheers, samukinson
My h815's autofocus is running perfectly with Imperium rom

Yeah, i know., but Imperium rom is based on stock. Genisys too.
This bug only applies aosp, cm13, ..., and apparently on newer G4's (2016)

Hi There, did you personally tested the stock roms without focus issues? Please list a few names I want to test because I am having focus issues with back camera. (I still have lollypop)
Thanks in advance

Hello Guys, I had serious problems to get the back camera to focus when used on landscape mode. I moved back to stock ROM and didn't fix it, this was bad since day one I get the phone. How did I solve the problem? Replace camera module, now works great...!

Hi there? I've been having this problem too, stock or custom ROMS, where did you get the camera module from? Can you please share the details (prices, model number, seller, etc) if you can?
Thanks
Hello! Actually I did fit it in my local eBay (I live in South America) there are tons of LG G4 who have failed because of the motherboard so finding a replace should be easy but....This phone will continue to give you trouble, try to change it. I was able to receive a refund from Amazon for the whole phone. Good luck!

Hows the camera and video quality compared to stock? Have you noticed any bugs yet?
Stupid qn - do we need the ADT toolbox like the site says, or can we just flash with twrp? Could I also ask if Google Apps work fine with this custom rom? Currently away from home with work with limited data, but can't wait to try a custom rom out!

I've just installed. Everything seems fine so far, including working gapps. Except Bluetooth audio. My bluetooth headsets connect successfully, but no sound.... I never used Mokee firmwares before, how often they bring new updates (nightly, weekly)?... I hope they'll fix bluetooth problem very soon....

Maybe I found a bug on camera app. The image quality is at 12mp. Seems only to be one of the sensors. I don't know if it's the same on stock camera app from nubia. Maybe someone on stock can try to pull the apk and I will try to install it.

Mokee is pretty big. But more popular in Eastern countries. They have the same build policy as aicp f.e.
Thank you, working awesome, and gapps work. So quick and much better, I hope Nubia release an international ROM because I like their camera suite. Bluetooth is not working, but everything else is. To get into Fastboot mode it is Vol - and Power button, not Vol +/Pwr button as per the unlocking instruction in the other thread. This is just for other newbies like me that don't know no better.

I tried another app and the front camera works, but not the back one. Though with the default app I couldn't even test the front one, it closed immediately.
I know for a fact the camera worked fine before flashing the custom ROM, so it's not a hw failure.
When as the last time you checked the camera with a stock ROM? I searched around and there don't seem to be many people with this issue on the note 2. Your phone's model # is gt-n7100?

Yup, GT-N7100.
Last time I checked the camera was just a few days ago. And yeah I've searched for the issue a bit as well, didn't have an luck unfortunately...
Have you tried this ROM? --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-aicp-12-1-official-nightlies-t3569395/page85
I being using it as a daily driver for months, and it's the best one I ever had for this phone.
Few times I've had camera problems, but automagically resolved just after restarting the phone.
Give it a try, and let us know it this was an acceptable solution.
Best of luck.

Google camera mod?

Hey guys, I just wanted to know does Z2 play supports Google camera with portrait mode?
I tried few apks but not even one is getting installed.
I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk. Can't post the link to the site as I'm new here and the forum won't let me, but you should be able to find it by the filename.
It's based on Google Camera 5.1.018. I haven't had any luck getting newer versions to install, but that one works fine, including Portrait mode, Lens Blur and Photosphere. I had to disable video stabilisation, otherwise video recording would crash. If front camera gives a green tint, there's a setting to fix that in Advanced -> Fix Camera API2.

Do you have an older version of Google Camera installed? If so, try uninstalling it first. Also, are you on Oreo? Many GCam ports seem to require at least Oreo and won't work on Nougat.

What OTA version do you have guys?
I was facing that problem when I was have 10.0.01
But it fixed in 10.0.02
I recommend to you guys should flash V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF and update to pie from settings.
After updating to pie hard reset could be good.
Sorry for my bad english

Fix focus by switching to video mode the back to photo
I get this since updating to pie including the January update in any camera app that uses the camera 2 api - seems to be unable to focus, I find in gcam switching to video mode let it focus then switch back to photo mode sorts out the focus for a while, when it goes blurry I switch to video then back again and it works again, annoying but able to take lots of pictures using gcam perfectly fine apart from this.
In another note I find only some of the gcam ports even start up correctly, so still trying lots out.
yes seems to work "a bit" but you are not really sure anymore whether it's properly in focus now... sometimes it's just slightly not in focus, sometimes looks properly in focus... night mode became very hard to use now
Hello guys. I'm on stock rom on Pie with January update. I also have the same focus problem. But I just noticed that the focus works perfectly in short video mode.
You can use the 16:9 on photo mode, this fixed the focus issues on Pie for me.

I'm alway in 16:9 and for me it doesn't work. I've to say that it does it when the light is low but before it wasn't behaving like this... the only way working for me is to switch to video mode to focus and than back to camere and take quickly the pic... really you didn't notice this issue in low light? Which camere are you using? Thanks
16:9 does work much better. But is there any chance getting it work with 4:3? Why is the focus so bad there?
I solved this problm. If ur rooted simply install pixelarity module it will change ur device specifications and build no. This will fix all ur gcam problm... Thxx me later
