Jul 9, 2014 12:39 PM in response to AlexNotteby DuQuoiMac,Add our iPhone 5 to the list of wouldn't-focus and fixed with AlexNotte's "slapping against the palm of hand" trick. NICE! Saved a trip to the AppleStore and didn't have to drop it either.

Aug 9, 2014 5:41 PM in response to CragAggroby AsianGrandma190,The same problem happened to my iPhone 5! I tried the "dropping" trick and the palm thing, but it didn't work.. My Girlfriend wanted to help so she messed around with it and then she slapped the iPhone with her ***** and the camera started working!!

Oct 24, 2015 3:04 PM in response to CragAggroby Kafkee,Today is October 24th 2015 and I tried this and it actually worked, I hit the phone (in my palm hand) barely hard and yes it fixed the issue, BUT apparently seems to be temporary because the issue comes again, but at least everytime I need picture a document so close, i'll do this for sure. THANK YOU, and be careful not to hit very hard your phone !

Jun 6, 2016 5:29 PM in response to AlexNotteby Music Teacher Dianne,I don't know how or why, but I whacked it flat down on the table (glass up) in my otter box case and I can't believe this actually worked! I missed an entire month of "grandson photos" because I thought I needed a new phone. Who knew that giving it a good whack would fix it. Thank you so much! Like others have said, I don't think it's a good idea to be whacking your phone, but on the other hand, it wasn't working and I may have just tossed it out anyway. You just saved me $800 .. time to buy some more baby stuff!! YAY
