Fortunately, I kind of fixed it by playing with the focus slider back and forth. (because I got so frustrated. Lol)
                                I was surprised that the focus worked again. Thank goodness. I was lucky I guess. XD

                                Now I hope the JB update comes soon. :)

                                      Moonbeam, 16 Apr 2013Can someone please tell me why my projector won't frikkin focus anymore??? It stopped working ... moreGot the same problem. The projector is not focusing anymore. Solution: one week in the repair shop to replace the projector. Fortunately it is still in warranty. Consequence: in one week weird noise while in call on my side. Solution: one week in the repair shop to replace the headset. Consequence: in one week time i got the same noise while on call. Solution: one week in the repair shop to replace (they say) the microphone. I was asking to fully replace the mobile because of those 3 failures in one month (in 4 months after being bought). Answer from the Samsung repair shop: Samsung policy is to repair the mobile as long as it still can be repaired!!! and extend the warranty with a period equal with the period in the repair shop!!! No warranty extension for the replaced spare parts. I am very disappointed. And i am computers and communication engineer with alot of ecperience in the field...
