Attempted to fix

Hello, I recently got the Note 4 myself about a month ago too. Since I purchased it from Best Buy, I thought I had 30 days to exchange it once I noticed and endured the camera issue. I waited too long. However if you go to the Samsung Repair Center and tell them your issue with your camera they will fix it. However, when they attempted to fix it, they ended up frying my motherboard and I had to wait 3-4 days while they received a new motherboard. Afterward though, everything works perfectly and its instantly focusing. The frying motherboard is probably independent of the camera so its a gamble if you want to risk it, make sure you back up all your data and go as soon as early as possible since all the Samsung Repair Centers get busy fast.

Google: "Samsung Repair Center Locations" and pick, I cannot post links as I just made an account to post this.

This is NOT normal. It should focus right away. The Note 4 is one of the first phones to have moving parts in the lens, and Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS). Apparently there is a problem with it sticking due to many factors, I'm guessing most of it is from shipping since there is no padding in the boxes. Once you load your camera app and it doesnt focus, try slapping the side of the phone, if it focuses then, return it. I had 2 replaced due to this issue. If you can return within your return period, do it. Everyone else can just do a warranty replacement.

I am having the same issue, but am able to correct it relatively quickly by rotating to potrait or landscape depending. Not quick enough for those "moments" necessitating instant response time though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Thanks for the info. For the moment, this works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jpinks:
That does seem to help me also, at least its faster. Thanks for the tip!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gamayunuk:
I am using two phones - one personal (Note 4) and the new BlackBerry Passport for work. I do notice that Note 4 is pretty slow with focusing. The darker it gets the longer it takes to focus. I think it is pretty normal. Just the software is like that.

Happens when you're in auto night mode. To disable just set your ISO

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] borijess:
Nice thanks for the info. I couldn't understand why my note 2 took night pics so much faster. Now that I set the iso to 100 it works fast. What iso are you setting your to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] greekunit690:
Depends on the lighting. If it's dark I set it a bit higher (600 to 800)... Bright out I set it to 100 or 200. I also really like camera fv-5. Try it out if you want an amazing picture experience

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hz-zh:
When I first got my Tmobile note 4, camera focused really fast, in a split of a second. Then one day, it suddenly slowed down to several seconds being unable to focus at all every time it started, sometimes up to 10 seconds. I had to tap it, shake it, or rotate it, then it starts to focus.

Today, I tried to reboot into safe mode to see if there's any downloaded app that might be the culprit, and no improvement at all. I started to disable pre-loaded apps, turning off GPS didn't help. But when I disabled/turned off S Health, the camera focused almost immediately just like new. Camera on and off, tested repeatedly, it worked very quick and smoothly. Afterwards, I turned on S Health again, seems the camera keeps working normally. Under low light, I do have to tap the focus ring one or two times to make it focus properly.

My testing results are when S Health is completely disabled, the camera focuses super fast. When S Health is turned on again, it slows slightly by maybe half to one second. I vaguely remember the focusing issue happened sometime after I turned on S Health. I suspect it'll slow down again after S Health has been running for a couple weeks. I'll keep an eye on it.

Maybe S Health keeps holding on some sensors until camera app asks for them, which may take a few seconds. S Health does slow down steadily when more and more data are accumulated. But at this point, I can't say for sure that S Health is the real problem. YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] huyhan99:
It helps.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hz-zh:
I think I should write a follow-up on this issue.

My previous method of turning off/on S Health worked only temporarily, unfortunately. After a few days, auto focus problem came back again. Basically the symptom is like this: leave the phone sitting on desk for a while, say 10+ minutes to half an hour, the camera app has focus issue that needs 10-20 seconds to start auto-focus, like something suddenly wakes up. When camera app is opened/closed several times in a row non-stop, there's no auto-focus problem.

Also tried the method of modifying /system/build.prop file, didn't work.

Eventually what worked for me is this: my phone has wallet cover, so I tried the method someone suggested, slapping the top back part of the phone against my palm. It took me three tries, once a day slapping 10-20 times. I thought it'll never work in the first two days, but still tried the method. The 3rd day, it suddenly worked. Now the phone auto-focuses properly.

However, there's one issue, initially the phone takes picture just like +1ev is set when the setting is actually at zero, and range of view showing on screen is like shrinking by about 5% on both sides. To take normal pictures, had to manually set to -1ev. What I did next is doing the opposite, slapping the top glass/screen part of the phone against my palm. It took several rounds of back & forth slapping, loosing fast auto-focus then getting it back, etc. Now it looks like it's only at +0.5ev, which is acceptable, photos are slightly brighter than normal. Most probably picture size is also back to original.

So my feeling is maybe there is a hardware defect with Note 4's camera module. Right now, I'm ok with it. But the final solution is probably buying a new camera module and replace it. If you're handy enough, that's not a bad idea. There're youtube videos showing how to replace, but I'd prefer not peeling off the screen from main board. Comments on videos showed how-to not taking off screen when replacing camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] EMan315:
I have same issue with camera. Since getting the phone it's been so slow.

I finally just found that tapping the screen pretty hard right about where the camera is located jolts it enough to focus quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] vengeance1281:
I've had the same issue with the camera, it was pretty fast when I first got the phone and it slowed down over time.

Recently I accidentally dropped the phone as it slipped from my hand and the issue seemed to have gone away for good (knock on wood).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] keithfrombm:
My brand new Note 4 (back in November, I think?) couldn't focus close up (& keep it), was slow to gain focus at all, and made me despise the camera. Had to use the warranty service to replace it (didn't get it at a corporate store --got it at an authorized retailer-- and the one I got worked a thousand times better. You have a hardware defect. I found people in the T-Mobile forums I think back then having similar problems. Nobody ever found a "fix" outside replacing the camera or the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
I had same problem with my note edge, I replace camera module and for last 3 days so fare so good. I think this is hardware problem since I had to shake or tap phone to get my focus to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hz-zh:
You're right, the HW is defective. Eventually I bought a new rear camera, and replaced by myself. Easy fix. Worked like a charm, focused in a split second again.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas.owns:
So I have a new magnetic mount for my car and when I put my phone on it the screen will turn black and lock.

When I hit the power button it will turn on to the lock screen and if I unlock the phone it will go to a black screen and none of the android buttons appear.

If I take it off the mount it works just fine.

I checked around and didn't see any dock settings or anything related to that.

Is there a way to disable this or figure out how to get around it?

Using MeanPop2.0 5.1 update.

So it looks like I need to find a way to disable the hall sensor.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basicreece:
You using a case to mount the magnet-to-magnet connection from phone to mount?

I have a case with the metal sheet inside the case covered with some tape. When i dock my phone to the mount it sticks perfectly and no issues.

I dont know if this will be any help but Magnet Unlocker in Play Store might help disable this?

Cant post link, noob here still.

Had this been resolved? I'm having the exact same issues. Sometimes I get it to work with a reboot. But it's annoying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffchampmt:
Have you guys checked settings - > display -> daydream?

There is an option for when it docks, I'd suggest turning that off. Just a guess, I don't have anything magnetic to check.

It could also be tripping a magnetic "off"; say if you had a flip cover, it would turn the display off when you closed the cover.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nharvey5:
I had exactly the same problem, with my LG Power X. Solved it by moving the metal plate to be higher in the case. Found that the magnet switched off screen and only displayed clock - when it attached to the lower half of phone; but when i moved the magnet around i found only certain spots triggered the display switch off. I suspect there is a magnetic sensor in the phone for some kind of docking feature.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tater510:
Just when I had my phone dialed in just the way I wanted than I screw things up. Have The Verizon Galaxy S4 and had the Mk1 build on it and rooted to the Galaxy nk2 build. Also had Hyperdrive 20 installed. Really enjoyed the phone and its performance. Thought I would move some files around using Kies....Boy that was a mistake. As soon as i plugged the phone int my laptop and brought up Kies there was a message on the Kies screen that I needed to update the software. I thought it was the Kies Software. Oh no it was the phones. Anyway I got the Nk1 update 4.4.2 and that put it the phone into a bootloop. I got the phone working by do a factory reset but lost root and everything else. And the phone has lost a lot of its functionality, ie, the auto rotation doesn't work along with some other things that i just work around. I tried to restore using Odin, but keep getting a fail message, and I never bothered to see what the fail code was.

I think what Im needing is the Nk1 software to plug into Odin so I can start over. But I've been wrong before.

If someones got a minute could you give me the steps to rebuld the phone back to where I had it before. Im sure I left out something, or for that matter if Im S.O.L. I can understand that.

Thanks

I was having issues with my phone after I installed the wrong build of a rom or program, and I spent hrs and hrs and hrs looking for the right files for odin in order to get the phone working, but failed, then I came across my old usb storage that had all the files that I needed, since I have been through this a few times in the past, and it worked, got the phone back up to speed. I actually saw this post and subscribed to it to see if some one would post the file link but since no one did and I just happen to find my old ones, I will try to send them to ya, your phone should be working today buddy. Give me a few to get the files out.

Download stock firmware from sammobile.com. Always flash firmwares that are meant for the model number of your device. Always make backup of everything first before playing around.
