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.)

Not sure if anyone has concern about scratching the camera lens, but I don't like taking chances when there is such an easy solution.
I cut down a screen protector to a diameter a little larger than the lens so that all edges remained under the battery cover. I placed the screen protector over the lens with the battery cover off, then reinstalled the cover over top.
Presto: lens protected. Has no effect on picture and movie quality and adds a bit of peace of mind.
I had first tried this over the battery cover, but under a cheap case I had, but it didn't fit against the lens front since the lens is slightly recessed below the cover.
I simply used the throwaway shipping screen protector the phone with and cut it down, but you could use any cheap screen protector. (ebay: about $1)
Note: Be sure to use a plain, clear screen protector. tinted/anti-glare, or others may change your picture quality.

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,

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

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:

Hi,
i have a short question concerning your experiences with glass screen protectors for the camera.
I bought one and applied it before i could really test the camera. (Due to the fact the camera, with most covers is really close touching the ground when laying it down on the back) After a few photos in the last days, my phone seem to have a problem with the tele camera and the normal one.
The tele camera seems to have problems getting the color right (see attached photos, one from the normal, one form the tele camera)...
... and the normal Camera has Problems with brightness and gets very unsharp from the center to the edges (see photo of the vodafone card).
This happens with OnePlus Camera App the same as with Gcam.
So i wanted to know if you're also facing these problems, wit hor without a glass protector.
Thanks in advance and greetings.
Martin
