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

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.
There are some cracks in my front camera, leading to blurry images. I wonder if the cracks are in the front camera itself or if there is a glass lens in front of the camera that could be broken? Please help. I would be a waste to buy a new front camera if theres a glass lens in front of it that is broken.
You can visit a Service Centre and have it checked? No one will be able to tell you without a proper look at the unit.
it should either be your Display Glass or Camera Lens (which is a part of the camera and not outside)
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.

Does anyone know where I can buy another back camera lens? The glass broke and damaged the lens so I need to replace both things.
The camera housing on the rear of my V20 has smashed - see photo here:

My question is, do I need to replace the camera or is it simply a lens cover that needs to be replaced?

That's the outer glass. Cams are still fine from what I can see. Some V20's have different camera covering. One for to cover each, and one to cover both.
