Autofocus Problems

Hi, my SP makes quite solide pictures for a phone in generel, but autofocus doesn't work properly.

In almost 50% of cases, the focus, after having found the proper target already, gets lost shortly before capturing the image, so the picture is unsharp.

I tried 2 alternative camera apps also (Focal beta and open camera), because of this and because i was annoyed that there is no serial shot mode in manual mode (only in auto mode and only in reduced 5mp resolution) so also no serial shot in sports mode e.g.,

With those apps, I can make serial shots in full res and also in manual mode, sportc scene mode etc. but focus problem gets even worse:

I can get the firts picture sharp often, but then between first and 2nd shot the focus shifts away (and then stays there in nowhere) so that all following pics get unsharp.

Is there a fix for this problem? Or did I get  a defective phone?

P.S. I have Sony SP C5303 with newest android for it (4.3)

That might be a hardware issue, perhaps the lens its scratched up
