Isp check or what do i press??
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
Cam/phone version check (the one on top) :D

And ISP check as well :D
[Galaxy S II General] xceqter:
you can help us all if can give out the detail... for cam fw ver and isp ver you can just check when you key in this code in dialer *#34971539# and select phone/cam fw ver check and isp ver check... and if you can you can take the picture of camera module you buy and the code number on the camera module ribbon cable.... as for me my cam fw scef02 and isp fujitsu m5mols, the problem for me pink spot.
[Galaxy S II General] gavin-phelan:

Try to record movies at darkness, artificial light and show us.
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
If the video framerate at night with artificial light is good, I guess everyone's gonna be downgrading their firmware :p

[Galaxy S II General] bamidrol:
Okay guys, i tested SCEF02 and it works perfectly. No framerate-drop or pink spot. Even Torch works. Just flash it and enjoy
[Galaxy S II General] donmarkon:
What are you talking about ?
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Have you read thread?
[Galaxy S II General] donmarkon:
Dont try to be smart im present here more then you . Just im loosing trace with this guy

SCEF02_20.05.2011 is bad fw
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
Dont mean to be rude, but when u say it's working post some more info, please!!!

What firmware your coming from???
[Galaxy S II General] bamidrol:
Just trying to help. No hard feelings...
[Galaxy S II General] bamidrol:
Im on 2.3.5 running litening 1.6 i guess. Only saying it works like it should.
[Galaxy S II General] bamidrol:
Oh wait didnt read it well enough. Ive downgraded from sieg03. I really missed the torch function. And focussing seems a lot smoother. Ill try some other fw. Maybe another one is better.

New update in SAMSUNG APPS

There is a new "GalaxyS2 Camera Firmware Update" version -12.1.01 (feb8,2012)

but for me it's not worked(Latest firmware, and no update... ;((( ).

So maybe one of you will have more luck... =)

cam: scef02

phone: tbec28

isp: Fujitsu M5MOLS

I have all the PINK spot and low FPS things... ahh. Damn it!
[Galaxy S II General] xceqter:
can you upload it. i cant download it from my country. i have same hardware and problem as you. already tried all update i can find before but still no luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Thanks for information!

Where does Samsung apps keep downloaded files? I'd upload it.
[Galaxy S II General] mikeyb123:
Any new updates?
[Galaxy S II General] bartekaki:
I can't flash it:

F/W UPDATE

This is the latest version.

Update unnecessary.

I have SIEG03 FW
[Galaxy S II General] goolby:
please upload it...

Could you upload it? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] bartekaki:
take it from here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29632524/com.sec.android.app.GalaxyS2_CameraFirmware-12101-12.1.01.apk
[Galaxy S II General] skiflyer:
again just a date and version change.. no update...
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I compared current used firmware with this new one - both files are identical.

What bull****!
[Galaxy S II General] drufi:
We just got Samsunged :D

I hope SGS3 will not have this bug...
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Yeah, TB cameras seem to have no AF or framedrop issues on TBEF04 firmware. I have the same. (Guess I lucked out)
[Galaxy S II General] Fatal4u:
Sorry man, I just saw your post... here is someone did it already.

bartekaki how did you grab that apk out from SAMSUNG APPS?

there are 5 bin files

rs_m5ls_tb.bin

rs_m5ls_ob.bin

rs_m5ls_oc.bin

rs_m5ls_sb.bin

rs_m5ls_sc.bin

created on 30th of January, maybe it's for another F/W(modules)... Are they sooo DUMP to release the same firmware but with different version... hmm (Actually they are, if they can't(don't want) to fix our cameras)
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Yeah I unpacked and compared SC version. Byte by byte identical. What pathetic act by them!
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
I can confirm that the TB firmware isn't updated. This is TBEF04. So maybe they upgraded SB, OB or OC firmware. Someone would need to confirm if any of those three firmwares were modified
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Somewhere in this thread was collection of all firmwares by last update. I can't find it, I'd compare them.
[Galaxy S II General] Fatal4u:
I hope at least one of these will be newer(and FIXED), i'm really tired of this big PINK spot in the center of ALL my photos... (buying new module from ebay, it's not for me) =) even SIEG03 didn't fix PINK spot completely, so maybe it's not only a software bug?
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
All cameras have such bug - visible more or less. In iPhone was green color - much lowered by Apple updates. Samsung has pink issue - problems with white balance.
[Galaxy S II General] bartekaki:
bartekaki how did you grab that apk out from SAMSUNG APPS?

I downloaded it from Samsung Apps and used App Backup to move it to my ex sd card, then I connected to PC and grab it from a folder of backuped files.
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Hi, the last camera update is useless, as usual... :|
[Galaxy S II General] Fatal4u:
Thanx, nice feature, I thought that there is only backup of app settings , like in Titanium...
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
OK I compared firmwares - this new one with the latest available before:

OC - identical

SC - identical

SB - identical

TB - identical

I couldn't compare OB because I didn't have earlier version of this firmware.

All files haven't changed.

**** you Samsung!
[Galaxy S II General] samipower:
It is very easy , fujitsu module BAD hardware Not magic firmware.

sony module GOOD hardware run very well

Nothing more ...
[Galaxy S II General] donmarkon:
You troll .
[Galaxy S II General] Pako7:
sorry, but you stupid ? You must first read the thread to understand what talking.

Fujitsu - it's ISP vendor (processor that controls the sensor). It's the same on all I9100_devices

Sony & Samsung - it's vendor who release sensors. Here's amongst them and it is believed that the best Sony. But i have LSI_sensor (OC_fw) and I am satisfied the camera :)
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Yeah that's true. Commonly used Fujitsu as bad is wrong, should be used exact Samsung's sensor name.
[Galaxy S II General] samipower:
Pako7

First

The stupid are you , I know all it , and you can speak with more pretty words the next time that you will write in the forum.

Second I tried 12 samsung galaxy s2 and in all "camera horrible"

or pink bug or slow fps and autofocus continous each some seconds.

All galaxy s2 in isp put: fujitsu m5 mols

I know 1 galaxy s2 in almeria(spain) with isp: sony imx105 and the photos and video are perfect.

Coincidence??? , I think that not.

Sony imx105 perfect , and iphone 4s has sony imx105
[Galaxy S II General] Pako7:
First

Please read thread.. It has long been chewed over what is on the ISP sgs2

Second

Believe me - I certainly stupid, but not in this issue :D I have been doing research on the camera sgs2 much longer than you, so I do not need to specify how and what to write.

SONY_IMX105PQ - a sensor,but NOT the ISP! Please read, for example, this - http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201010/10-137E/

And what is written FactoryTest in the line of ISP - bug program and not more than
[Galaxy S II General] xceqter:
it hard to find this camera module anywhere in online market
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
You are totally wrong. The imx105 is a bsi sensor by sony. The isp is the Image Signal Processor, and in the smasung galaxy s2 case is the m5m0ls by Fujitsu.

The M5MOL belongs to Fujitsu's Milbeaut family processors:

http://www.fujitsu.com/global/services/microelectronics/product/assp/milbeaut/

Other manufacturers integrates the isp processor in the main soc, such as Texas Instruments (Omap 4460 - 4470), Samsung uses an external isp.

Edit:

[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
So if one was going to their local samsung repair centre, what module or isp or whatever should that person ask for? spoke to someone who worked there and he said he CAN decide what module I get. He hasn't heard of this problem though so he can't recommend what firmware I should get, he said he definitely won't put SCEF02 back in my phone though
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Ask for Sony :)
[Galaxy S II General] Pako7:
yes.. just want to add that the link description of the 6th generation of Milbeaut , and we have in the i9100 is the 5th generation Milbeaut
[Galaxy S II General] jok3r4u:
i have : Cam FW ver: SCEE09

Phone FW ver: TBEC28

it is the last firmware?

that one without led on capturing videos is better? No pink spot, shuttering and crappy auto focus?

I could live without led on videos, but it works on picture mode?

TY.
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Over and over for few posts there are same questions. Please read thread and\or use searcher.... ;]
[Galaxy S II General] jok3r4u:
yeah, better if u told me some info, i read this thread every day and i wasn't sure about what FW is the last one..

meanwhile, i updated to SCEF02, noth new but i noticed that:

WHEN you take a close shot, to a white paper, and you touch to focus, the led is on, is focusing and then, you can see on the devices screen the pink spot very clearly. in 3-4 seconds the IPS probably is recalculating the white balance and after the pink spot disapears.

=> I thing that the pink spot is only a FW problem, not a module (samsung or sony) problem, and if you touch to focus at first, the pictures don't have that pink spot anymore.

can somebody test this? make a shot from a short distance, ~35-40 cm from a white paper, with flash on, touch to focus, observe if that pink spot is on the screen and after take the shot.

THX.
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Just got back from my service centre. I had to LOL when they said they were gonna put 2.3.5 on my phone to fix the problem. I went to this thread with my phone and the technician said he has to exhaust every solution before he can officially change my camera. Got a 5-7 day wait
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Where do they take those technicians from? Ah I forgot, they're told to do only what it's allowed to :)
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
LOL let me not get started on the fact that the receptionist who took my phone was talking about how much she loves iPhones............:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
Okay... I have a new problem, don't recall reading anything about it.

The video I record gets corrupted. When I try to play it, it goes on for a few seconds, and then a "corrupted file" message pops up.

Anyone knows anything about this..?
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Only time I've ever had that was using LgCamera with stereo audio turned on
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
Nope... I had the problem the fisrt time with the camera app with better sound recording. Today I did a fresh flash of KK5 and tried again with both that app and the stock one. Same result.

Tried changing the resolution, and saving the file both in the phone and in the SD card. Same result.

Which is kind of suspicious.

Edit: humm.... I tried lgcamera (for the first time too) and the problem doesn't seem to show up. I also was able to record a minute of 1080 video with poor lighting without any fps drops. Interesting...
[Galaxy S II General] xceqter:
so far sammy do nothing about our problems.... may be they only concern about SGSIII and ICS.... so the only solution we got here are change the camera module to one that others said perfect.... but we still cant find it on online market.
[Galaxy S II General] Shahrokh.KING:
a new firmware package is on samsung apps dated 08-February , installed and again! update is unnecessary! what?! why do they even update the package?!
[Galaxy S II General] xceqter:
they try to cheat us.... nothing update at all.
[Galaxy S II General] maxpontello:
In my I9100 i have the following situation:

CAM FW Ver: OMEF01

Phone FW Ver: TBEC28

I read past in the thread that updating to SIEG03 should solve the issues i have when filming with AF so i tried do flash it into the phone, following the instructions.

After reboot camera does not work (black screen) and after few seconds it shows an error and exit. Trying to enter the camera firmware menu is difficult, very laggy, but after having spent some patience i managed. When i check version it tells:

CAM FW Ver: FAILED

Phone FW Ver: SIEG03

I tried to flash again the SIEG03 some times but nothing, camera would't work.

So i decided to but back OMEF01 and it worked.

So, what's wrong? Why can't i flash from OMEF01 to SIEG03?

Thanks for your help :)
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
As far as I'm aware SIEGO3 only works for people who have SC firmware. You have OMEF01. Why do you want to change to SIEGO3
[Galaxy S II General] lethalfriend:
SIEG03 is so far working on Fujitsu equiped Galaxy S II. Seems like you have Sony's sensor which quite good and no modifications required.
[Galaxy S II General] maxpontello:
Sorry, perhaps it's my fault but when i checked ISP Ver Check from secret camera menu i got: Fujitsu M5MOLS So, should't it be a phone equipped with Fujitsu Sensor? The fact that out of the box i've got OMEF01 fw should tell me that i've Sony sensor instead?

Thanks, your help is appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
ALL Galaxy S2's have Fujitsu ISP's. The sensor in the phone is either a Sony IMX105 or Samsung S5K3H2YX. All the Sony sensors are fine. The samsung sensors are fine unless you have SC firmware
[Galaxy S II General] maxpontello:
I thought, reading the previous posts, that SIEG03 should work better than OMEF01. Isn't that right? I have OMEF01 out of the box. I have good framerate in videos but i still notice some AF problem changing the subject during video recording. Is this normal? Thanks :)

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

So even with Sony sensor and OMEF01 fw is normal to have some AF problems while filming? Thanks dude ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Muterror:
thank you, its very interesting/ I will test it =)

Galaxy S2 Camera Firmware Update v12.1.01

This was what i've talked about, it has nothing new, Dated 08 February 2012 !
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Yes, correction of firmware would be needed too - IIRC iPhone 4S uses also IM05X and Autofocus there is fast.
[Galaxy S II General] Pako7:
but what ISP is it? ;) Firmware related with the ISP and the sensor then little importance. I do not think that Fujitsu will release new firmware. And unfortunately disassemble them I did not get to the end
[Galaxy S II General] xceqter:
here link to a littke info about sgs2 camera

http://www.anandtech.com/Show/Index...y-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined
[Galaxy S II General] Pako7:
oow.. thanks :) But I knew this info much earlier than anandtech ;)

I am interested in information about the contents of the firmware itself. Ideally, of course better have source code :D. I wrote knowing people associated with the development of modules cameras - let's see what they answer
[Galaxy S II General] maxpontello:
I hope that Samsung put some effort into making a better AF use for the firmware, but sadly they don't seem very motivated to me :thumbdown:

Are there any camera app that offer a better AF support than the stock one?

Thanks dude :)

Wooooow..... i do that long time ago. it's not from there the problem. It not focus well....it's from software
[Galaxy S II General] FlowerPotmen:
Update the software, the App is on the previous page/post 1888, and see if that fixes it. You can also try the download from Samsung Apps on your mobile. Search: GalaxyS2 Camera, and it will show the update. It will only install if its required. If not then you have the same problem as everyone else!!!
[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
How come I couldn't find the update from my Samsung Apps on my phone? Am I missing something?

Use market ebaler and change your market country. I don't remember well but Germany network has this application in SamsungApps.

Result on my phone SGS2

Hi, I used the apk posted in #1888 and my camera now has SCEF02 in CamFW and PhoneFW, before, the values of CamFW was SCEE09 and PhoneFW was TBEC28.

Is that a firmware backtracking? or really the camera was updated?
[Galaxy S II General] FlowerPotmen:
No you have the latest update which is SCEF02

---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

Updated version is SCEF02
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Phone them up. I told them the service centre did not fix anything on my phone. They sent me a pre paid next day special delivery bag and bubble wrap so I could send my phone off to Samsungs official UK service centre. They should be able to provide similar service to you.
[Galaxy S II General] TeleFragger:
ok this is what i was looking for... first page was old...

so ill go to pg 1888 and get that file.. im new to this so need to figure this out...

but my version for both is

will the stuttering and fps drop disappear when recording 720p,1080p video?

Thanks.

I'm very, very sorry i made this post already on another thread, but i really have to know this, because if it doesnt fix, i'm taking phone to customer service center asap!
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
No it will not fix the camera stuttering.
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
As drslump76 said no. Best thing for everyone to do is call samsung and get the phone repaired. First thing I'll be checking on the S3 (If/When I get it) will be the camera lol
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
S3???? Hum...no thanks. Speaking about our camera problem, i would like to wait until i will read about a positive feedback on camera module swap with a good one.
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Whats wrong with the S3? And there a few success stories WELL SCATTERED on various pages. A few people with SCEF02 firmware have had theirs changed to ones without the fps drop.

today i bought a white SGSII for my brother, i noticed the camera is way better than the one i have on my Black.

his SGSII is made in china.

camera firmware is the same ...

ISP vesion check : Fujitsu M5MOLS

Phone/CAM FW ver check:

SCEF02

TBEC28

the only difference i noticed is :

the CAM FW Cal check

on MY phone its :

AF (0.0)

SEN (0.41)(0.44)

red spot.

on HIS phone its :

AF (0.0)

SEN (0.42)(0.3F)

no red spot

could that affect his camera ? its brighter .. way brighter....

should i try to dump his camera and install it on my phone ??

Edit :

my firmware is LA4

his firmware is KI4
[Galaxy S II General] russpattaya:
Dump it here, we can all give it a try? As I think everyone has the red spot problem!
