My machine has the same problem. I don’t know how to fix the problem.
It looks like the autofocus camera is not working. Or its driver fails. But there’s not any tool to evaluate or any diagnosis sofware.

Is there a reason why the Autofocus gives different results every time I press the focus button ?
I can understand if it’s not able to focus in the right way on every surface, but if the projector is in a fixed position, with the same environmental lights, and I launch the autofocus two times in a row, it should give the same result every time.
Instead I need to use the autofocus like 3/4 times to have an acceptable result.
Same as everyone here. Autofocus is poor, this is a replacement PJ and came with the latest firmware. Doesn’t allow me to manually focus anymore like my old Max - you guys the same?
Manual focus is possible ONLY on Android input, with HDMI only the Auto works.
If you use HDMI, the best way to obtain a good result is to go back to Android, correct the focus manually and then go back to HDMI.
Manual focus anyway is strange, the precision differs from left and right steps, so sometimes one of them surpasses the best focus and you have to go back with the other that is more precise…
Thanks for the tip. I’m still not getting manual on Android, the only issue I can fix on this replacement “v2” unit (it has a white light not blue, which is weird too)
I’ll plug in a HDMI to see if that nudges it back on in Android mode when it goes back
I found out a little trick that seems working well for the auto-focus while on HDMI…
Just show a fullscreen image of a crosshair with a white background during the auto-focus, and it will work almost perfectly most of the time.
Here a random list of images to try out:
Are we gonna have any firmware or app update soon? Seems it has been quite long since the last one.
Was about to ask the same thing, last update was 18 months ago. My bluetooth for audio is playing up and hoped a Firmware upgrade would fix. But no firmware to update 
I’m not in a hurry to upgrade, because I know, that there are always errors in new software (I’ve been making software for 25 years). But now, I decided to upgrade my PPM to version 1.3.x and I was shocked, how the image quality improved, the rendering of even the smallest letters is now perfect. I think, that even now my PPM is Full HD.
