Keep camera in focus?

Hi might sound a bit far fetched but I was wondering if there was a setting or a jailbreak tweak that could keep the camera on my 4S in focus when camera not active
The reason I ask is because the rattle on my iPhone is annoying everytime I put my phone on a table or when I'm in the middle of a call sometimes

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

What rattle and how is the rattle associated with the camera? Unless I'm missing the obvious, if your phone is rattling while it is stationary atop a table and while you're talking on it, you need to see about having it replaced. Your phone should not be rattling. If I misunderstood your post, I apologize.

It's the lens apparently according to apple had 2 replaced and all same when you tap it rattles I don't tap it but when I set it down I can hear it also it rattles when I'm in a call that's why it bothers me

I've never heard of that happening before and as for a setting or jailbreak tweak, i know there's not a stock setting to do that, but I cannot speak in regard to jailbreaking because my device is not jailbroken. Sorry.

The rattle he is talking about is EXTREMELY insignificant, barely noticable.

I'm pretty anal about that sort of thing and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

To many of us, I guess it is insignificant but for elitegamer767, it is significant enough to ask for ask as well as have 2 prior iPhones replaced/repaired because of it. Maybe he has bionic ears or something. Still, I hope finds the remedy he seeks.

Most phones rattle. I picked up a Nexus 4G and tap on the camera area, it rattles. Picked up a different android phone, it rattles. Same for my iPhone, albeit louder. It doesn't bother me as it's a mechanical issue, not a build quality issue.

You have to tap it shaking does nothing I stated that :/

I did that but nothing happened, at least not audibly to my ears. Don't get me wrong, I believe you in regard to the rattling but I can only assume that, because i-devices are not all assembled at the same location, some of us do not have the prevalent rattling problem.
