So, I've had a V20 since December 2016, but the shattering camera glass finally got me last week.
Unsure exactly how or when it happened, but one day I pick up my phone to see the camera glass on the back shattered. Upon closer inspection, I can see that my wide angle camera is damaged, as it the normal camera. (The front facing selfie camera is fine.)
Do any of you know where I can find good replacements that DON'T suck. The reviews of people selling the cameras haven't been very good.
Or do any of you have an otherwise broken phone with an untouched camera you've got for sale? (No water damaged phones, please)
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I dropped the tytn to the floor, which usually doesn't affect it, but this time the plastic lens cracked. Which I guess the the warranty doesn't cover.
Any brilliant ideas on how to fix this?
I've buyed only Touch Screen lens
and not the entire display, I've open the PDA and changed the broken one.
It costs only 15 $. The only problem for you is the Warranty.
Mine broke as well. I took a new CD or DVD case and made a new one. Since it is polycarbonate it won't brake so far but scratch sensitive
edit: it was the rear camera but it should also work on the front cam
Where did you buy a new lens? How did you make a new one?
Just cut it out from a CD case and and file it to a round form.
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?

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.
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
