Hello
My working place don`t allow to enter it with devices which have built-in camera (the reason is to prevent industrial espionage).
I have 2 options, the first is to buy very old phone without camera - i prefer not to do this and the second one is to disassemble my hd2 camera.
I have seen the youtube disassembling hd2 video but in the video they didn`t disassemble the camera.
My quastion is if it hard to do it?
Can it cause to some software problems?
Is someone here have ever did it?
Do you have some guides or good links for this?
Thanks and sorry for my english.

Maybe you can modify the software so that the camera doesnt work.
What OS do you have on your HD2.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer,
I`m using andriod 2.3.3 but your solution isn`t good for them.
They want to see device without camera.

Oke thats kinda sucks.
I thinks the best way is to remove the cam en then remove the software as well.
I will try to find some more info how to remove it safety.
Remove the camera bezel, then electrical tape over it with the cover off. Put the cover back on, and volla! No camera.

I have found a youtube video where they remove the camera.

Hi,
I`m looking at the video,
Is the rigit flex board is used only by the camera?
Is it ok if i remove it from the device?

From the point of view the sound control buttons are on the rigit flex board as well.
your actually willing to break a fully functional Leo just for work are you crazy, wouldn't it be less hassle if you just got a different phone, what happens if you need to claim on your warranty at some point ??
just saying.
Screw it leave the camera in and do exactly what they are afraid of record everything. Post on YouTube

Ok First time Posting, hope this is the right place
after having so much help from here, decided to register.
Basically im installing a new digitizer, i have the old digitizer out and new one in.
Just wondering if it will be safe to put the smallest possible amount of glue (only thing available) on the plastic around the digitizer, to hold it against the housing and stop it falling forward???
If not anyone know what i can use to hold it in place?
p.s i mean smallest!
again new here hope this is in the right place
thanks in advance
EDIT: Gave up on waiting to see if this was safe or not so just went ahead and did it All Seems fine phones working fine

Chris,
I saw your video and it really helped me repairing my gf's phone, thanks. But I really wish you went this bit further and had shown how to properly replace digitizer too. After some struggling I have succeeded but I'm pretty sure that I screwed both with removal and replacement (digitizer works but has poor sensitivity, doesn't react to finger push, requires light nail stroke).
Cheers.

Im making a video tomoro , to show how to how to remove/replace the digitizer, it might help in the long run.
A few weeks back i bought a second T-mobile HD2, I have the exactly same configuration in both, radio 2.15.50.14 , magldr 1.13, and i´m booting a miui build via sd card, and i noticed that in the one that i bought recently the photos are washed out comparing to my first one, they seem to have the same age, yellow reset button.. is it possible that they can have differebt hardware?? i took a snapshot with both so you can see the difference, is the same build, i booted the sd build with magldr, then took the photo and then removed the sd card and booted with magldr the same build in the other phone and took the snapshot..
have a look:

does anybody noticed anything like this?
any insight will be appreciated, thanks.
check camera settings first. are they on the same brightness,saturation,contrast ?
If he used an sd build and took the same sd card in both phones as he told it, the camera settings are the same.
Thank you guys for your reply, They have exactly the same settings, i´m using the same sd card for test, After I started to use the other HD2, every time i took a photo I noticed something diferent, the colors and the sharpness of my second HD2 looked different to me, thats when I decided to test and the result is amazing, now I understand why some people say that their hd2 camera is not that good, I´m thinking in order one camera module from ebay and replace it, but i´m worried about the quality of those camera modules.
SOLVED.. I opened the HD2 that was taking bad photos to see the camera module and discovered that the camera lens had a few very small fingerprints in it, cleaned very well and gently and voila.. good colors and good photos.. If one the mods can please edit the title of this thread and put there the word SOLVED I would be very appreciated.

Thanks mate, it wasn't in the cover lens , was inside, I had to disassemble the phone, probably someone opened the phone inthe last and had left some fingerprints in the camera lens..

Hi i want to open my galaxy 3 because the audio port is broken (loose connection) and i want to resolder it. I've had this problem with all my mp3 devices, these ports aren't robust enough for me
But has anyone have any expierence with this?
I see there are 6 screws under the cover but i haven't dared yet to open him. Bringing it back isn't an option since it's out of warenty ...

Be very careful. Once, I wanted to replace my broken screen, then I turned it on and audio port was not working....probably because I moved with the port. I highly recommend you to take this to some expert.

I am not saying im an expert, but i've fixed my mp3 player and i do now quite something about soldering.
Did you remove the plastic cover under the batery to replace your screen?

Yes, but that was a while ago.
If you will open your g3 you must know that if you destroy something and you wont know how to replace and you will took it to service, they wont fix your phone amm if you will open your g3 watch on youtube how to open and assemble your g3.

It seems (from the screen replace video) to be harder then i thought, since the audio port isn't directy solderd to the motherboard.
But still there is a loose connection so maybe its inside the audioport it self or it isn't mounted correctly on the board
I am having a very hard time removing the rear cover. I've removed the two screws but I still can't seem to get any of my plastic case opening tool in. What gives? I'm almost questioning the importance of those two screws...

Hi everyone. Today, I noticed that something is covering my front camera lens.
Do you know what is that piece covering the camera? Anyone encounter this situation?
I didn't drop my phone not even once and I tried to smack the top of the phone to see if it moves, but no luck.
P.S. The camera is able to take pictures normally.
I have a SM-N9005.
Thanks
Go exchange it... Looks like a faulty device. It could be a piece of electrical tape in the wrong position.

Looks like some sort of cover for the camera.
Maybe this site can help understand: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+3+Teardown/19209
But i think @nicholaschum 's solution will work best.

Hey you were right. Soon as i posted my issue, i thought i would watch a dismantle video and presto! It was a round rubber like washer that has slipped from around the camera.
All sorted now
Hi....Can you let me know how did you get this fixed as I am also having the same issue....

Hi,

Now, that rubber is covering a lot more and I'm unable to take pictures.

I don't think they will consider to be a faulty device and change it, although I would like a new Note 3 :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
To me, it seems to be a soft plastic that keeps the front-camera in position and not to touch directly the front-panel (display assembly).
So, probably they will change/remove the soft plastic
GO to your provider an request a NEW device
Do this : Contact 1st Samsung Service in your country and tell to them the problem becouse this a factory fault phone .
After you make some papers and a proove that you contacted already the samsung Service from your country , contact your seller and show him the problem
YOU MUST proove that : you did NOT DROPED your PHONE , DID NOT SHOCKED YOUR PHONE with some other things , like drop with speed in bed trow in the pillow etc etc , proove that you did not used any screwdriver , to have ORANGE WATER SENSOR in the back under the battery STILL ORANGE and NO ROOTED PHONE .
THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR DEVICE , BECOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THAT IS A PART OF A PLASTIC THAT WAS SLIPPERED FROM HIS PLACE .
