After doing Qi mod, phone lasted another 2 month for me. I did one lazy thing: didn't apply new 3M duct tape (but used existing parts, just heated them up) to the top visor frame of Nexus 6P. After that I've noticed dust particle in my camera sensor. It was not on the lenses. Tried shaking it off and could see not 1 particle but 10 of them now. Tried cleaning lenses, didn't make any difference. So decided to do similar to Galaxy S2 camera sensor cleaning. The guy basically took the metallic casing of the camera, removed lenses and cleaned the sensor.
Tried googling the procedure, but couldn't find any info. Let's hope it gives some insight for the future guys here who attempt to do so.
Here is what happened in my case:

I may be the only one that did not know this, but I thought that I would mention it just in case. There is a protective film on the Note 4 rear camera. In my case, I did not see it while using the camera for over 2 weeks. The film is hard to peel off because the edges of the film are inside the frame and it is very hard to get your fingernail under it. I was not really sure if the film was there or not. I tilted the back so that the light glare was shown. I noticed that the surface of the camera was not shiny and there were tiny scratches on it. After picking at it with my fingernail, it finally peeled off and all is well.
It has a hole in it so it doesn't actually cover the lens. I'm not sure what purpose it serves, but I've left mine in place.
Yes, I see it now. Obviously does not affect picture quality. I had peeled all the other film off the camera so this is just the last.
Is there a place where we can order replacement film?
I just left mine there. No idea what its for.
That little guy...
It's there to protect the camera lens. You can keep it on since it doesn't interfere with the lens but it's intended to be removed like the rest of the protective film.
Lol. This has been on every Galaxy phone I've bought. It's just the shipping plastic like around the sides of the phone lmao ? ? ?
So, dropped my Note 3. Visual inspection it looked fine, but the lens is definitely broken on the camera itself (Not on the body of the phone) and the photos look like there is a spider on the phone.
I looked up the camera for the phone, doesnt seem overly expensive. How hard to replace is this? How likely am I to destroy the phone while trying to fix this?
It is a relatively easy fix. I had the same issue with my camera an a $12 replacement and disassembling/replace/reassembling of the phone did the trick.
Good luck!
Cheers,
B.D.

Do you mean the rear facing camera or front? The front facing camera would require a new screen glass which is NOT an easy fix. The rear facing camera would be much easier. You need to remove all the back cover screws then pry up lightly with the S-Pen to pop the cover up. There is one place by the power button that needs to be pried up with something like a guitar pick. once the cover is off you will need to bend the retaining tabs of the lens and it comes right off. When you say "inner lens" I'm not sure what you mean. I doubt you actually cracked the lens of the camera either front or rear but once the back cover is off, both of these are easily removed. A replacement of either on can be found on eBay for cheap.

The picture below shows the tabs which need to be bent up to replace the rear facing camera lens. the tabs are under the green tape

So I got an X727 this past Thursday, and I accidentally set it on a table too hard with the stock case on and, well, the camera lens cracked. It's not across the sensor, but I know it's a matter of time before it spreads and the rear camera becomes unusable.
How difficult is it to replace the rear camera lens? Where can I find a replacement?
Thank you in advance ?
My camera lens has a crack across the sensor now; when aiming towards light reflections of said light reflect all across the image.
I'm desperate, someone please help!
Figured out that the lens can be replaced without removing the rear housing.
Still, though, where can I find replacement lenses?
Will a tempered glass camera lens protector be suitable as a replacement lens?
something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2PC...-537f-4fd8-915a-9b7ef902e0bb&rmStoreLevelAB=5

I am attaching a sample photo taken from my Nexus 6P's back camera. ALL photos have these dots or blots on them.
I have removed the back casing and cleaned the lens a couple of times with cleaning fluid. But, still these dots are always there. Does anyone know how to clean the inside of the back camera lens? or do these look like non-cleanable things. How to fix?
Here is a sample image to see what I am talking about: https://imgur.com/a/5KjfGsJ
(Ever since battery replacement, I decided not to put the camera covering glass on top and instead have a Spigen case. The camera covering glass on top of the Nexus 6P seems to break everytime I have to open it, so I decided not to have it.)
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.
