Auto focus not working on Galaxy Nexus I seem to have lost the auto focus capability on my Nexus. The phone is stock, only one update done (so it's XWKL2). I don't use the camera much, but I think I had auto focus when I first started using the phone. Now I have to manually focus by tapping the screen.

I'd rather not clutter my phone with 3rd party apps for camera since I don't use it much, but I'd like to have AF for my random quick snaps.

Any tips?
These suggestions might seem odd and they might not yield any results but they're worth a shot:


Try using the panorama and video settings in the stock camera, and I do mean actually use them.  Don't just switch to them and switch back to picture mode.  If you're lucky changing modes, taking a panorama/video, then changing back to normal picture mode will reset whatever needs to be reset.
In normal picture mode long-press the shutter button.  Try this twice, one time release the screen as normal and the next drag your finger away from the shutter button before releasing the screen.  I'm not sure if doing it these two ways will have different results, but I know that if you drag your finger away no picture will be taken.
