camera blurry after update to android 9 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi, I just updated my note 9 to android 9 and my camera is not too good. Lights are very blurry. Does anyone else had the some problem? Have a look on annex, I attached some pictures

Have you tried cleaning the camera lens?

Yes, I have. I got that issue long time ago when I was on sunny holidays and tel was very hot. Next day all was good. Now phone is normal temp and this show up after update to android 9

You know, that really looks like a dirty/greasy or scratched-up lens to me. It's either that, or it could be moisture under the glass. Double-check with a magnifying glass if you need to.
Do also contact Samsung support about this. I'm sure they have some thoughts.

Definitely not normal. I agree it looks like a dirty or scratched up camera lens. Do you happen to have one of those tempered glass protectors on the lens?
You can always test it by downloading a third party camera app like GCam or Open Camera. If they produce blurry pics, then you have some sort of hardware issue.

Camera taking blurry pictures

It seems the camera won't focus properly. The close up shots and front camera shots are high quality but the far shots its all blurry. Its not even that far lets say around 4-5 feet and the picture is blurry. Anyone know what might be causing this?
also if i take long shots in selfie mode the pics come out perfect, its just pics from the back camera that r still coming out blurry when taking long shots, for close ups the back camera works perfect but if i move it back say 3 feet its blurry again
Can you post a sample pic? & You did removed the clear protective film from the back camera?
I am having the same issue. Protective film is off.
The camera will not hold focus on anything further away than a few feet. It seems to be an issue POST update on T-Mobile.
Phone will not focus
My Note 4 takes very bad pictures. It will hold focus for less then a second and when I take the picture its not focussed,
i purchased the phone brand new off ebay last week, how would i go about on exchanging the phone for another note 4? or would a future update fix this issue? everything else works fine its just the long shots from the back camera
my phone has the same issue, it's not just focus for the pictures, but also for video recording. if i take it little bit far away, it comes out blurry. it actually thinks that little blurry focus is the right focus.

Exchange it. Only a handful of us had that issue. My 2nd n4 focuses fine.
Man, everything works perfect expected the focus on the camera. I already passed 14 days to exchange it. I hope the software update is going to fix it.

Lollipop made pictures blurry Nexus4
Camera was working ok with versions 4. x and pictures were nice and crisp.
Once upgraded to Lollipop pictures are blurry now, faces are washed off.
Happened on both mine and my wife's phone.

I had the same issue as well camera was fine than all of a sudden I noticed it taking blurry pictures, but closeups were fine. Wasn't sure if it was do to being in high altitude area or what. Tmobile swapped it out and the new one works fine now.

I'm having the same issue with my note 4. Takes blurry pics from distance, but close ups are sharp. I don't know how I did it, but if I hit the phone a couple times it focuses. Strange. But it works.
Not having issues. Pictures are picture-perfect.

Note 8 moment case?

Alright everybody does anybody know how the moment case and lenses are going to work with a dual camera set up?? Curious if it will only work on one camera?
Pre-Order Link just came out today for it
https://www.shopmoment.com/shop/photo-case/note-8/black
If you look at the photo, it looks like there are mounts over both cameras, so I would assume that it will work with both cameras.
Thanks for posting this, I missed the announcement and was wondering if they'd make a mount/case for the Note 8.

Yeah I also noticed that but did not know how it would interact just wondering if anybody knew anything or had video of it. I mean note has a wide angle already will the wide lens make it like double that? LOL sorry just trying to figure out if i should order!
And no problem I have been really wanting to try one. Was going to get one for my pixel 2 xl but screen was too blue for me so guess I will try on note!
From my experience the lens screws into the case and sits flush to the camera. The Note 8 "wide" lens is actually not extremely wide, so there shouldn't be any vignetting or image quality problems.
The optics of the Moment lenses are superb, and yeah, the wide angle lens will make the view super wide!
I've had the Moment lenses since they were introduced and their customer support is always good and willing to help.

This looks faulty to me. Is there any moisture in the camera?
Have you looked in accessibility vision then see if colour lens is on?
Did you turn on a filter effect?

It's the flash. If you have any case on, remove it. Clean the camera lens/glass with a microfiber cloth (moist or with a lens cleaner). Try those pics again and post here. Hope this works.

Thank you all, It was because a Camera Glass Protector installed recently (NOTOW 7.5H Camera Lens Tempered Glass Film Protector) bought from Aliexpress, I removed it and the camera is fine now.

Did you find the solution??
mabe the case is too close to the lense/led and light is reflecting off the case and into the lense.
remove case and test again.

You can always try the ported GCam.
Everytime I have to take a picture I must clean the lens honestly.... Even if I put it in my pocket for no more than 5 minutes I have to clean the camera lens that I'm about to use, I have no idea why they get so smudgy easily

Dust collecting under the main lens of Redmi K20 pro

I've received my redmi K20 pro for only 2 weeks now and I've noticed that my main 48MP lens has been collecting dust since. The phone is in perfect shape. No leakage or anything. I've been using the case that was in the package. Is there anyone else who has the same problem? I've attached the picture.
No similar experience?
I have! But not the main camera, but only under the wide camera.. Annoying, but dont use the wide camera that often!

Yeah, you are luckier than me. I donno even why this is happening.
Must be a fault from the manufacturing. Since it has started to build up as soon as I got the phone.

No but my back panel got some thin scretches as I don't use back case or any protector now i am thinking to buy transparent thin protector film for back panel.
Welp, similar issue now rises with Redmi Note 9/9S/9 Pro users at a greater number:

you can search in the threads for more complaints.
Hi, unfortunately after using k20 pro for a year and half. Now i can see some dust particles collecting under my wide angle camera glass. I don't know whether this is a manufacturer defect or not cause i didn't see that earlier.
By the way do anyone figure out how to clean them?
