my iphone 4 camera works well but it doesn’t want to autofocus! i’ve tried rebooting and restore. still not working, i tap to focus, i only see the blue square but does not focus. what should i do?
You tried everything I would recommend before opening up the phone, but before you opening it up you should take it back to Apple to see if they can fix it or give you a replacement.
i have iphone4 32gb. my auto focus also not working.i was tried everthing but not work. -restore firmware/ios = not working -install super camera = not working and lastly i’ve got the problem solved! step 1: open your default camera application and dont close it. step 2: flick the rear camera using your finger at the top side and the back side of the camera lens, and that same time too try to tap your screen to help your camera to force/help/make auto focus function to work. and now your camera + auto focus is working!!
The camera is faulty. The same thing happened to my phone. Since it is jailbroken, just do a restore of the firmware but don’t sync the phone with any of your information. Take it to apple and they will give you a replacement. That is exactly what happened to mine. I suggest downloading “AptBackup” from Cydia to restore all of your cydia apps once you get your new phone and restore.
I had the same problem and was pretty annoying as cannot take any closeup pictures (QR codes won’t get scanned) For me the flicking think never worked. But this worked for me : Dismantled the camera, made sure all the contacts were clear and then put it back . I also used a earbuds to press the lens lightly to release any sticky moisture that would prevent it to auto focus.
get a new module! The flicking did work for me at the first time but not after about a month… I think it is a physical fault. see my comparison pictures [IMG]http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z363…[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z363…[/IMG]
