Visible black line while taking pictures - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've dropped my phone on a soft floor. Now there is no visible damage, but when I try to take a picture with the rear camera, I can see a visible line overlaying my picture. I've included a picture as an example.(http://imgur.com/cJrto2B) How can I fix this? (Samsung Repair C is not an option tho, it is the i9500, while here, in the Netherlands, the only variant available is the i9505)
I am in for any DIY option

Is it a hair in front of the lens? Maybe within the body somehow? Hate to suggest it but does it change if you tap it one way or the another at all?

Nope, the line stays static. The line is just to be a hair. Also, I've tried the 4.3 Camera app, but still persists

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?

Enter download mode and recovery. If you only see part of the screen in both modes, the screen needs to be replaced. If not seen in either mode the GPU on the motherboard is the culprit and needs to be repaired.

Unusual white dot/pixel on front camera screen.

I don't use the front camera usually. Today I opened it and noticed a fixed white dot/pixel on the camera screen.
It shows up in the photo also.
Attached SC.
Is anyone having similar issue?
P.S. Done cleaning front camera. Cleared app data. NO USE

I have such a white dot/pixel in the back camera! But only in profi-mode. The white dot is moving/dancing/jumping around, mostly on something dark. When I switch from profi to normal mode the dot is gone? Any Suggestions?

need help from display hardware experts

I need help with my Note4's display. I paid a local phone repair shop to fix the cracked glass. when I got the phone back things looked different. most noticeably everything looked washed out, kinda greyish. I took it back to them and they replaced lcd. they said there was nothing more they could do and blamed the issue on the software. I reloaded the original firmware and the phone is now completely stock. I made a test pic with some gradients that confirmed my suspicions. the first pic attached, test2, is my phone side by side with a friends phone displaying the second pic, test. does anyone know what possibly went wrong?
