Phone overheated now rear camera is cloudy/blurry. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My GF was listening to music on her phone and for some reason it started getting hot, REALLY hot. Now the rear camera is all blurry I'm guessing it got damaged from the heat. The front camera works fine. I also tried 2 different camera apps and they behave exactly the same.
I have the Premium Handset Protection plan but looks like there's a $130 deductible, IMO not worth it, I'd rather just buy used. What should I do? Should I go into a T-Mobile store, or should I call?

Or... the camera is dirty. Wipe the lens. happens all the time with me. usually pretty random too.

lens is not dirty

Replacement Camera

I was at our local air show this weekend taking a video of an F-16 with my 8525 and about ten minutes later I noticed that my camera's sensor had been burned by the the intense light. Well after a couple of days of wallowing in my stupidity I decided that I would just replace the camera. Does any one know where I can find a camera to replace the one in my 8525?

[Q] Weird Camera Problem?

I just bought a "seller refurbed" droid 2 off ebay. It was $35 so I said what the heck. When I got it, everything seemed fine.. except for the camera. When I take pictures, they come out like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can assure there is no filter on. This was taken with what came with it, 2.3.3, the OTA update 2.3.4, and cyanogen mod 2.3.7. I've thought I could buy a replacement camera on ebay for like $10 (mostly all I could find) and replace it.
Also is anybody else's battery life like real bad just browsing web? On 3g 20 mins of browsing brings the battery down by like 20%.
Thanks.

Rear camera not flush with back plate.

I was so excited when tracking showed my one+ was delivered yesterday. Then when I opened it up was so disappointed that the rear camera was not flush with the back plate. Left side is higher than the right. With quality control like this how can the one+ be a flagship killer.

That's how it's supposed to be. No one has complained

Ok I guess I'm just too picky.
Lol. When looking at the iPhone 6 or any Samsung phone, this is nothing. I actually find it very elegant.
cant really tell with those blurry pics..
the plate where the camera and flash sit on, its raised from the backing of the phone.. the camera lens and flash sits slightly below the small black plate..
Heres the pic of my phone..
The back is curved. The camera is not.
Wow lol

Clean your camera lens/glass.

Didn't help
Has anyone the same problem because my problem still persist, is this maybe a camera sensor problem ?
My s7 edge also got this problem. Mostly night time, and lights is blurry and leaving a trail. Try open camera and it's still there. Could it be hardware problem?
Actually it might be caused by scratches on the camera lens.
I had a similar problem with my LG G4.

The Selfie Camera dark colour?

I recently switched from the 6T to 8Pro. The phone is amazing overall. It performs well in all aspects. Though i love the back camera, the front camera has been causing issues. I am usually on video call with my friends through the day during lockdown. The front camera though gives a more natural colour to my skin..but it seems to be darker as compared to the 6T.
Now my friends ask me to get back the old phone, which cannot be the case for me... obviously.
Is it only me???? Because i couldn't find any such threads...ANYWHERE!!
