Camera lens or cover scratched. Camera app now unable to focus, or lock on. Constantly trying to focus. Anyone have suggestions on repairing the lens myself or send it in for repair. It been rooted.
I have seen replacement parts, but unsure what piece holds the lens cover.

My dad used to get scratches out of his watch glass by rubbing it with brasso and a soft cloth, you could try that first ?

Hello. Does anyone know of a way to replace the glass cover of the camera in WILDFIRE. Does anyone know whether the item is replaceable?
Thank you for any answers
you have solved your problem already?
When I take a picture with my wildfire it always comes with fog. And the glass of the camera is very grating
Greetings
I doubt you can replace the camera cover glass in your Wildfire without risking damage to the camera. It will also void your warranty. The camera cover glass seems to be secured to the internal casing with a metal cover that I won't risk removing unless anybody has done so and has been able to use the camera again without regression.
Find this link about using polishing to remove scratches from the lens.

I have just tried this with Brasso and a screen cleaning cloth that came with the screen protectors.I can not believe the difference in photo quality.The lens has a coating over them if you look a the lens with a magnifying glass it had scratches all over lens.Now the glass is crystal clear again.Hope this helps you..
(If you have scratches or cracks on the lens itself then this is a different matter)
there was a big crack in it, so i peeled off the glass/plastic so that the lens is now naked.
but now the camera wont focus?!
how is that?
isnt the glass there just as a cover to protect the lens? how come i cant focus? it wont even TRY to focus, it simply doesnt focus AT ALL.
now is this some freak coincidence that I have another issue in my ROM with the camera software, or is that glass thats covering the lens actually there for more than just protection?
reinstalled rom and it does focus now but image is hazy and "glowy"
guess ill have to send it for repair
You can buy the whole camera assembly on eBay for a few bucks. Try fixing it yourself. YouTube videos will help if you're not to sure how to do it.
Anyone using the phone without a case/cover?? Worried about the camera lens getting scratched since the lens is flush with the battery cover and touches whatever surface you lay the phone down on.
Who is using the phone without any case or cover?
How long have you had it without a case/cover?
Has your camera lens gotten scratched?
Thanks in advance for any insight you might give!!
I have the SView wireless charging cover the camera is recessed about 1/16" from the battery cover.

I've had my GS4 caseless for a year now. The silver ring around the camera area seems to have taken all of the scratches. I can't find any scratches on the clear plastic that covers the camera module. To be fair, I'm pretty careful with my electronics. The worst I do is put my phone down on my wood desk. But it does seem that the ring around the camera module does a fairly good job of protecting it from scratches considering it's completely scratched up. I'm not sure if you'd even notice a problem in photos if the plastic cover got scratched since it's not part of the camera optics.
Hi guys, so I have a Galaxy S10+ for like 2 months now and the problem is that I have these little visible specks on the front and rear camera covers of the phone. They don't interfere with the quality of the images taken but it bothers me because I thought that the phone was supposed to be IP68 water and dust resistant. Can the phone still be returned to where I bought it? And is it still under warranty?
I live in the Philippines and I got the Prism Green version.

The question I'd be asking myself is, would I want some tech tearing apart my device to remove dust or not. Not unless they will swap it out for another unit.

My S8 had dust in front and rear camera lens as well but only after servicing.. two times repaired.. first time it had fingerprint mark on rear camera glass and dust specks on both front and rear camera glass. Second time they cleaned the fingerprint mark but still the dust speck was there when they returned it to me. Also, there was adhesive sticky sounds coming from my s8 when I pressed it on right side. They said it is not possible for them to create a factory like scenario to do a supertight sealing under vaccum and dustfree conditions but ensured that my phone will stay dustproof and waterproof after repair.
My iPhone X came out of the box with scratches and scuffs on the metal frame + dust specks inside both rear and front glass.
My s10+ luckily didnt had any dust specks inside either of the camera glass but had a minor scratch on the backside (seemed to be due to dust) inside the box or during manufacturing. They didnt had any return or refund policy so had to accept it.
I've bought a replacement lens cover for the rear camera on my V20. It came with self-adhesive, but the adhesive isn't good enough and it keeps falling off. I really don't want to use superglue to secure it. Can anyone recommend a good alternative which will keep it in place, but which won't be a pain in the neck if the lens cover gets smashed again and needs to be replaced?
