Running HR 3.4.7 on 4.4.2 (KitKat) Android on Galaxy Tab S 10.5. When stack shooting, auto focus works OK to find point "A". After moving to find point "B" and hitting "start shooting", focus returns to point "A" OK and calculated number of shots are taken. However, focus DOES NOT move forward (toward infinity) and all shots are focused at point "A". Installed HR on a notebook PC running Win7-SP1 and re-ran the experiment and all worked OK, indicating that the problem is in the Android 3.4.7 HR version and not a problem with camera or lens. I am able to repeat the bug on three lenses (100-300USM, 28-135USM, 180EF macro), whereas HR works fine on Win7. Update: Camera is EOS 5D III. Second update: Works fine on a Galaxy S5 active phone also running 4.4.2 Android. Fails only on Galaxy Tab S.

Disable image review in the camera body (quick review or whatever it's called in 5D Mk III).

Voila. That fixed it. Turned of "image review" (first menu, 2nd item) and works just fine now. Interesting that it works with the S5 phone but not the tablet when this option is enbled. Thanks for your prompt help.
