Ok, I'm getting frustrated
I've somehow gotten a black speck of something inside my camera lens (not the lens cover...I've already removed that and cleaned it to no avail)
I can see it in the viewfinder, but it never moves. I've tried shooting a small amount of air into the crack above the camera and that hasn't worked either
has anyone successfully removed the camera or gotten into it?
how?
does anyone have any advice for my situation?
camera was a deciding factor for me on this phone and one little speck is messing up all my photos
also, feel free to comment on how stinkin cute my kids are
Did you point the thing at the sun? Part of the sensor could be burned out, which is kind of what that looks like to me.

anybody know how to fix my little sensor problem?
Mine too....
The camera lens cover is held on with double sided tape. You can pry it off with ease and clean the inside of the lens cover or the camera itself.
You could also access it without removing the lens cover, but that involves removing the battery tray panel thing. That requires removing the 4 torx screws at the corners, removing the void sticker on that screw, and then popping the panel off.
I've had mine off a few times to mess around with swapping the power and volume buttons from the red developer case that I nabbed off EBay. Didn't actually swap the buttons, but took a look at what was involved in the process.
Good luck!
Cute kids man.
Does it affect the quality of the pictures?

no, it just adds that stupid black blotch in the middle of all my pictures. I use the camera alot...well, I did before this issue arose.

dude sorry to hear about this, that is BS!! you should take it into Verizon or call for a refurb! they actually are nice, its like getting a brand new phone, and if it craps out, I guess its rinse and repeat.
Recently purchased a X10 and some how dirt and muck had got under the screen, I decided to buy it as I was confidant I could take it apart and clean it.
One thing I also noticed was that the photos were not very good. Upon inspection of the camera I noticed the plastic cover over the camera lens, this was clean however my theory was any bright light sources off centre of the camera were scattering across this plastic section and making photos look a little washed out and blurry.
Anyway I took the phone apart and cleaned the muck from under the screen and now it looks brand new.
I then popped out this plastic piece from in front of the camera and put her back together.
Here are some disassembly pics.
This is the plastic part i popped out from the camera
And here are the before and after camera samples. Straight out the cam no edit. "more to come"
Before
After
More after shots.
Think you will agree MASSIVE difference. Only draw back is im not sure if the ir filter is built into this plastic bit, and now the camera has no protection from dust etc, but I always clean my gear regularly anyway.
Edit - Seems this glass protection wasnt the IR filter so all is good . I'm dumping new test pics in the following dropbox folder.
http://db.tt/OV9b9WP
Really happy with this phone now.
Wow, that's a huge difference.
3 years ago, my w810i's lens cracked. Photos weren't bad or anything but it bothered me. I bought a cheap pair of glasses online (5$ i think) with a uv film (that's the slight purple tint on the plastic cover) and tried to fashion the lens into a size that could replace the oem piece of glass. I took a few photos and it was a huge difference as well.
Unfortunately, glass from the glasses were too thick and it wouldn't fit with the backcover on. I bought a UV filter for slr cameras but those were way too thick. I thought of trying with a slide cover slip but that project ended up dying when my bro's phone died (i gave him the w810 and picked up a K790a).
Does anyone know of any glass makers/fabricators that can make an optically clear piece of glass with a coat of UV (filter)? I'll take a look online when I get home. I use the camera on my phone pretty regularly so I'd be willing to purchase a glass cover. Just something to protect the lens.
A spec of dust has still got back in today lol. Will take it apart again in the week and plug all the joints.
That is a huge difference in those comparison pictures.
But I guess that cover isn't supposed to come off right?
Damn, how did you took off that plastic camera sheild?
Imagine this with Vignette...
so i guess if i put some high quality glass instead of plastic, quality should increase
What an awesome solution. You should put a guide up on how to do this. You might have good ideas grow from that. Ask the mods if you can do this. I would love a guide to know how if my lens gets that dirty. And those before and after pics are amazing too. Great post and info owner of post.

Thanks guys. The phones pretty simple to take apart. I had to take it all apart to clean the screen but to cam mod you don't have to remove the motherboard so its much easier. I'm adding pics into my dropbox link all the time too.

Does removing this part have any negative effects?
Like would the lens be more prone to dust & scratches without it?
I noticed on some picutures that theres a minute amount of red tint. Is that normal?
That IS a huge difference.
Do you think it would be hard to repaint the whole device from white to black?
EDIT: Done!
Night and day difference. Incredible. Please tell me this doesnt require messing around with the screen as I dont want to risk messing with the screen placement or anything.
How exactly do we remove this little piece?

ok The only reason i took the phone apart is to get to the screen I had bad dust under it and had to take the lot apart to get to the screen.
For the cam mod take you battery cover off, now inspect the plastic over the camera very closely and you will see its glued down, use a small tool to pry it off.
Lots more pics added to dropbox link.
A few edited with Picnik and put on my Flickr. Sandy girl was actually before the mod "not as sharp as it should have been" All the latest on Dropbox link on first post.

The plastic on my camera is pretty scratched up, so I'd like to take it out.
I tried but it seems really difficult. Can you please elaborate on how you did it?
Which tool did you use, etc?

Because i too the phone apart to clean my screen i could poke it out from the back.
if you look really closely its glued from the outside though and you should be able to get a really small flat head screwdriver "from a pc repair kit" and pry it off. It's just glued down.
If you look at this picture with my battery cover off you can see where the glass sits in the circular groove. You can even see some left over glue residue on it.

It seems that it is extremely difficult to do it from the outside.
I've tried everything, it's glued very strongly, it won't come out,
I've been trying for 2 hours! Time to give up!
Thanks for the tips though!

S5 is IP67 ceritfied. From wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
6= No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight)
7=Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).
It is designed to be waterproof to 1m. Water resistant implies "splashproof". This is beyond that.

Will samsung fix it if something goes wrong within 1m of water? No. The Xperia Z1 is waterproof with a ip58, so that requires them to fix it if something goes wrong.
IP67 is Water and Dust resistant (Even the marketing adverts, which always exhaggerate, said that.)
It's not waterproof.
As for how you're supposed to take pictures, try setting the camera controls to the volume keys.

To be honest, you really think it's a smart move to place any $700 piece of tech in any sort of water? Samsung or your carrier will NOT replace/fix your device as water damage will void your warranty.

You can take pictures (and focus) with the volume buttons.
Which doesn't mean you should put the phone under water for a picture. If you want to take underwater pictures, most good underwater cameras (Canon, Sony) are around 200 euro. Don't waste a 700 euro smartphone on it, it's NOT included in the warranty!

You can take pictures with the Volume + or -
It´s not needed to change something in camera settings. Or use the selftimer ...
And the IP67 says, you can use yout device up to 30 minutes within a depth of 1 meter.
I took it under water to do some photoshoting in waterpool.
after that the volume down button seems stop working. is there way to solve this?

then why the IP68 is for?
- tapatalked - from my VANTABLACK S7 EDGE
AFAIK, the rating is for submerging the device to up to 1.5m up to half an hour, not to operate the device under water.
MInd, there are no physical buttons to operate by just using the camera shutter if the app has been set-up prior to diving in ...

@drummerman correctly wrote "NOT to be operated under water", that is clearly different from "water resistant to a maximum depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes".
IP68 actually doesn't guarantee that the phone can be also operated under water...

Not pressing buttons,just let it dry by charging wirelessly to let the phone heat up. If you ruined it, I'm sure you will find out within the next few hours to days. I think you will be fine because others have used the vol(since that's the only button to work under water)

Not good, if charging seems to work...I would get the phone as hot as possible to get rid of moisture or leave sd card open but you have to ge that moisture out before it takes a toll on the inside electronic.
You're an idiot. No where did anyone ever say the phone is water proof. It is water resistant. What that means is that under certain circumstances it can make contact with water and still function after being taken out. That is not the same as using it underwater. You don't deserve a phone this expensive you buffon.

Samsung doesn't call it "water proof." Water resistant is the strongest claim you'll see.

While I agree with you that it is not wise to use these devices as underwater cameras, it's not surprising that people do so, when Samsung are doing the exact same thing in their official commercials. Have a look at these examples:
Samsung Malaysia, jumping off a cliff into water with the S7 Edge on a selfie stick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvWslN5DIHM&list=FLQL-jI9F5ORzWPDxiJQjimA&index=1
Samsung Indonesia, going down a water slide landing in a pool with the S7 Edge on a selfie stick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bNv51boLtk&list=FLQL-jI9F5ORzWPDxiJQjimA&index=2
Samsung New Zealand, using the S7 Edge in the ocean and different wet environments to take photos/videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3hqaTapWSo&list=FLQL-jI9F5ORzWPDxiJQjimA&index=3
At the end of the third one, the text even says: "Now you can capture life in water". The only disclaimer is: "Device requires thorough rinse in fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water". In the other videos it says "Results may vary".
And here's an instruction video from Samsungs support site, showing you how to clean your device under tap water after contact with salt water or other liquids:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W78ydsy1mU
(From http://support-us.samsung.com/spsn/main.jsp)
Just to be clear, I DO NOT encourage people to follow these examples as they seem like good ways to ruin an expensive device Be careful, as wear and tear, manufacturing defects or just a drop can affect the water resistance as well.
Although I can also say that I had the Xperia V and Xperia Z3, which both had lower IP ratings than the S7, and I used these under water lots of times with no issues at all. Even after the glass back of the Z3 was shattered from a drop I rinsed it under the tap to clean it about once a week.
@BaconDanny Nice post, never noticed the Videos from Samsung before.
They really do encourage the usage of the device under water.
I myself have only exposed the device to shower water.
And dropped it once in the bath, Am happy to live with the fact it will survive an accident rather than to get used to using the device in water.
A slight disappointment, as one of the purchase reasons was for some nice water park snaps and pool snaps on holiday.
Too expensive to just have a gamble with so many users reporting defected units.
Makes me question if the Water resistance is as tight as they advertise
(A recent review company just tested the Water resistance of the S7 and it failed awaiting official statement from Samsung)
Or there is a number of users who have taken the water proofing to the extreme.
Ill use my device on the principle its water tight, So that water will drip off it.
This will do me enough to use the device in rain or shower or any other types of water like this.
I just wont go submerging it
Another episode of typical consumer bull**** miss advertising to get ahead of the market.

And you're unnecessarily rude. Did writing that make you feel better about yourself?
Anyway, for me the IP rating of this phone is a bonus. It's good to know that the phone should be able to handle my using it in a sudden downpour or if I accidentally drop it down the toilet (not something I've done in over 20 years of owning mobile phones mind). But to deliberately take it underwater, regardless of what confusing messages Samsung are sending out, is simply asking for issues that don't need to be asked for.

Hello alls
As HTC U11 is IP67 rated, things were turning in my head for few days, and I finally take my courage to put it on the water.
Many video are testing that point, but what I find was a little bit obvious.
I have no problem with the phone after its dive on the swimming pool, I only put it 15 or 20 cm max on it. If the screen is working, nothing from the software part was working. I feel like watermake a pressure on the multitask button : I would like to take some pictures but everytime I try to squeeze and engage the photo module but every time, the phone stop the photo application and run the task changer app ... Reall curious.
So I'd like to see if someone here try to take picture under water ?
Thx
I realy hope you didnt put it in salt water..
Thank you for sharing. I did not try this with my U11 yet but my S7, S8 and XZ premium worked fine under water or with water on screen.

HTC claims the phone has an ip67 rating, so up to 1 meter for a maximum of 30 minutes it should actually be water proof.
I regulary submerged my S7 and used it while showering, the phone was still running strong after a year. Even screen worked under water, pretty cool.
did you try to open the camera 1st and set a timer. After that dive and take the picture?

They also claim water resistant.
Water-resistant: able to resist the penetration of water to some degree but not entirely
Water-repellent: not easily penetrated by water, especially as a result of being treated for such a purpose with a surface coating
Waterproof: impervious to water
Water-resistant: able to resist the penetration of water to some degree but not entirely
Yeah, I wouldn't trust the IP67 rating at all. Also, that's for fresh water, not chemically treated water, soapy water, etc. The warranty information also says that water damage is not covered under the warranty so if you're unlucky and you have a seam that isn't sealed and your phone dies, you've got an expensive paperweight.
Its kind of backwards considering that the M7 survived CNET's ridiculous torture tactics including dropping it in a soda, throwing it out of a moving vehicle, throwing it on a BBQ... They thought it was dead but put it in silica packets for a week anyway and to their surprise, it actually powered on. If I remember correctly, the only thing that was wrong with it was the charging port got damaged in the toss so they had to fight to charge it.
Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-YJDiyC5IA - 4:15 to start the torture test and 18:30 to see it power on after all the hell they put it through.
There's no doubt the U11 can't stand up to the same torture the M7 and M8 could. The screen didn't sustain any damage even after being chucked twice out of a moving vehicle while the frame actually started to lift.
Hi, I had a similar experience to yours. As a work around, what i did was submerge only half of the device inside the water(upside down). I was able to get some pictures and videos. But its tricky as you can really see how the picture is coming as half the screen in submerged and the other half is above water. But nevertheless the camera performance was absolutely brilliant.
I do agree, HTC should have an "Underwater" mode that disables the touch buttons and touch screen (but leave the display on). It would be very useful.
Has anyone tried the glove mode for under water pictures? That worked pretty well on my Sony in the shower, so who knows

There is no way I would put my U11 underwater on purpose, it states on the HTC site that it is only water repellent not water proof but go ahead and test it for us I would like to know how well it does lol.

I work as a construction worker and I've already washed my U11 with clear water at home, because it had a lot of dust on it and inside the charging port. No problem at all.
I just went swimming with my U11 in my pocket. Maybe about 15 mins at 3-4 feet. Currently drying right now. I got itchy and tried powering it on perhaps a bit too soon but I got the HTC screen and it locked up. Screen went off and let it sit for awhile longer. When I press the power button the green LED comes on but nothing else. Waiting and praying it's not dead!
