Here is normal rear camera photo
With front camera, it is all blurry and ****
...
I just realized it after a week or so, it was kept indoor 100%
Could be residule dust in the housing being knocked about and ending up on the cam lens from static. Sorry to see that on your week old device man

If it's any consolation, my little Jiayu G4S has exactly the same problem with BOTH cameras. I've come to expect it from these relatively cheap phones. I'm also fairly good at taking my Jiayu apart now - looks like I'll be doing the same with this one too soon
Also, after just a week my back cover is very creaky indeed. I think I've taken it on and off six times to swap SIM cards etc. My Jiayu is a solid as the day I got it almost two years ago.
do you know how long from launch it normally takes for genuine battery covers to hit the market? The wife wants a pink one however I have never owned a xiaomi before so never followed their release times for accessories.
Same dust here :/

That's really frustrating
people say there are holes between the 3.5mm phone jack and the camera, that's where the dust came from.
Yes, my back cover is not tightly fit, the battery is the same. People call me insane, but I could feel the battery rocking left and right when I shake it hard.

Yeah, same for me. Had not noticed it before, but that's not anything major though. I'm more concerned about the dust in camera, although I don't have this problem yet (and I hope I won't).
This made me remember a problem with LG P500 when dust would get under the digitizer.
After a week no problems (Prime 32GB)

There is a dealer called "Xiaomi Home" on Aliexpress who apparently offers these. Whether "Xioami Home" is an official subsidiary of Xiaomi, well, who knows. But anyway, supposedly original Xioami back cases are available at http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/100-Original-XIAOMI-Redmi-Note-2-Case-Protective-Cover-Case-For-Redmi-Note-2-phone-case/811568_32446023315.html. Not all colors are available at this time. They also have a supposedly original Xiaomi protective flip cases listed at http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/New-arrivel-Original-XIAOMI-Redmi-Note-2-Case-Flip-Protective-Cover-Case-For-Redmi-Note-2/811568_32446027248.html.
I noticed I have similar dust like things under front camera hole I think they were not there when I just received phone. Seems like dust came from somewhere, any ideas what we could do with this sh.t?
If it's coming through the headphone jack like some people suggested, you could try getting a can of compressed air and spraying into the head phone jack, should unseat the dust without damaging any components.
Possible fix..
My RM Note 2 had this problem too!! After 4 days! If you blow in the headphone port the ff camera steams up.. So that's definitely the problem. I fixed it quite simply.. Took the phone apart.. (easy for anyone with basic phone tools and a little experience..) Just took the shielding off, no need to remove motherboard.. Then lifted FF camera module out and used a very lint free cloth to get rid of any dust etc..
I then used a tiny tiny bit of blutac to form a gasket around the camera module, making sure that no Blutac is visible through the front of the phone.. Pressed the module in to place gently, and did the blow test to check it was successful.. And yes! 2 days later and no dust at all.. It's just a slight design oversight.. The camera housing isn't well sealed enough.
Hope this might be helpful to some.. It's probably not very well explained.. Sorry. Annoying to have to do this on a brand new device.. But my HTC one M8 had a similar problem.. Can't be fixed.. And it cost £550.. So an easy fix on an otherwise flawless and awesome £100 device is very forgivable.
This probably ends your warranty and could well break something especially if you don't really know what you're doing. I'm not responsible for thermonuclear war or anything do with your phone. Proceed with caution at your own risk.
Regards, happy Chinese bargain buying!

If you see dust on the front camera, try put your mouth over the 3.5 jack and start to aspire with force. The dust will magically disappear
However dust doesn't affect photo quality

Im a photo enthusiast and i take a lot of care about my Nikon camera and its lenses to ensure its exelent quality and functionality. With my SGS I9000B isn't different!
I saw some dust inside my lenses and decided to clean it up because it interfere directly on the image quality.

In the cleaning process i scratched my SGS lenses from inside! (yes, using twizzers+loose cotton). Was a bad idea.
Thinking bout a replacement of entire housing, didnt find it at eBay because I9000B has a Digital TV antenna and a hole for it. Its a special housing.
Decided then to buy another international housing to take only the lenses, but no money at my paypal account :-(.
Without money, finally decided to take apart my dead Nokia N95-1 and use its CarlZeiss Vario Tessar lenses!!!!!
After opening the SGS again, take that steel frame that protects and decorates the camera lens was a boring process. Three bent fins through the housing, which are hidden by a plastic cover:
After removing this frame, I saw the lens is very well glued to the plastic. Which requires some work with tweezers to avoid damaging the substrate that has outline (it was used as a guide to the size of the new lens).
After that, I put a lens on the other (the N95 but is wider, same thickness) and made the cuts using a sharp scissors.
So now just put everything in place, clean the lens again, polishing and close the device.
Not intend to leave this lens for a long time. Only until i can buy the official Samsung (taken from a new housing).
This Nokia does not have enough glue to adhere to the plastic housing. This little space between the lens and the plastic inferfere directly in autofocus and the inhibition of reflexes = photo as ****!
The results:
Photo taken with SGS I9000B with my new lenses:
Hope this helps people that as me didnt found anything bout Samsung Galaxy I9000/I9000B camera glasses/lenses replace.

Yes. Like all hardware mods in PCs, Game consoles, notebook systems or IT generally, some electronic/engineer knowledge and creativity are very appreciated.
Or, assume all the risks trying "blindly" the procedures(for me, the best way to learn something by yourself).
Great info, thanks!
Does anybody have any idea weather there is a way of polishing that lens? My phone is already a year and a half old and the picture quality is really really bad, since I was not taking care and had my phone in pocket with keys and everything all the time
I was thinking of some method like used for polishing front lights on cars. Do you think it would work?
Never never try the polishing! I've tried today but i fu**ed the lens and the photos was blurred. But i had an "old" nokia 5610, changed the lens and now the photos are too much better, almost like new!
where to buy a camera glass.

so can someone tell me how can i replace this one with a newer or where i can buy this size camera glass.
Thanks man cool experience!!!
Wow I just found some use for my dead N95 Now I just need to decide if I dare to take apart my beloved phone... The lense is in a REALLY bad shape tho

You can buy @ ebay a full housing kit (which comes with brand new OEM samsung lenses) or just a back plate.
The tutorial to change is found at the first post.
So I, like many others, am looking to buy a nexus 4 for Christmas. The lack of LTE means nothing to me as I'm in the UK and can't afford it anyway, so it seems like a pretty sweet deal, however one thing is bothering me...
Many reviews have shown that the back glass can crack relatively easily, and while usually I wouldn't call this a deal breaker, I had a horrible realisation. The nexus 4 is designed in such a way that the back glass acts seamlessly as the cameras lens cover, so if the back cracks, there is a fair chance that the crack could go right down the middle of the camera. Furthermore, like the nexus 7, the back cover actually has components on it, so it may not be a cheap or easy replacement.
I would hate to have my camera ruined because of a poor design choice. So has anyone seen anything around that may reassure me? Is the lens cover a separate piece of glass and it just looks continuous? Or does this seem like a real issue?
The strange seamless camera cover looks cool but may turn out to be a problem.
Good point here.. I really hate putting covers on my phones but in this case... I think I should..
The phone is fairly large as it is, a case just to avoid the camera cracking because of poor design is really disheartening for me
I see what you mean. They should've put a rim around the camera lens separating the two, as they did for the flash...

I wouldn't worry - that glass isnt the camera lens, its a bit of glass *above* the lens. The lens is the little round thing you see underneath.
It a crack goes straight through the middle of it, it would make minimal, if any, difference to photos, except maybe some loss of light gathering.
Wouldn't be the lens that cracks, only the lens front element. In photography in general, front elements can be quite beat up without producing any visible clues what so ever on the resulting images. Check out this web page: kurtmunger.com/dirty_lens_articleid35.html

Apologies I should have made the thread title clearer, I meant the lens cover.
Nice to know it shouldn't make too much difference. I guess if the crack is thick enough to make a difference then I'd probably get a replacement under insurance anyway.

Thanks for the link! Again as with above I should change the title, I didn't mean the lens I meant the cover. I didn't realise it makes such little difference though. Thanks
I was thinking of a similar issue for the screen. I read somewhere that the glass and the digitizer in this phone aren't two different layer on the actual pixels, but one. Thats make the screen more vivid as the pixels are closer to the glass.
So if we crack the gorilla glass, automatically the touch screen will be unusable. Am I right?

that's exactly what happened with the verge's review nexus - in the video they say the back cracked after a fall, and the crack is very close to the camera, pic here: linky
in this case the camera was not affected but the rim of the flash probably makes that area of the glass weaker.
Just don't drop it, I guess

I'd have thought they would for the Nexus 7 to be honest but that hasn't happened yet. At least not easily. But yeah, if it does become a problem hopefully there will be enough pressure for them to start manufacturing and selling replacements.
Didn't even notice that. Reinforces my thoughts of getting a good case.
Any phone can be smashed, that's what's insurance is for.
FYI, the reason they have the rim around the flash is so that it doesn't cause the "flashback" problem and interfere with your pictures. If you've had an iPhone and didn't have a case with the larger camera/flash cutout or the black ring around the inside of the cutout, you know what I'm talking about. The flash can actually wash out pictures. The rim around the flash on the Nexus 4 solves this problem by isolating the flash from the camera lens.
I think maybe the clear plastic on the camera was effecting my pictures. Well I hope so. LoL. It's not easy getting off especially the flash one. I did it carefully because I didn't want to scratch them. I guess if your pictures are fine then you can leave them on but damn Samsung you should put tabs on them so it's easy to take off. I would think all S6 Edges come like that. Mine is from T-Mobile. Darn you can't see it. I'll post a bigger picture.

See the white line in sky close to the bird way up in the sky? It goes from the top to the bottom. I noticed on 5 pictures and different angles.
Good call, i have always known about the stickers and remove them for customers usually (i sell phones for a living) but i didnt notice the flash one! gotta check it out now, thanks!
Thanks!!! I hadn't even noticed them.
Can you guys see in the sky what I'm talking about? If so do you think I might be right about the picture protector being the issue? Guess I should take more pictures now but stupid rain all week. Lol. Just want to find out if I have a issue with my camera.
A girl with nails might help getting the stickers off. LoL. I think I just lightly put my finger on the corner of the bottom of the flash and moved slightly up. I then noticed that it was on. I wonder if it's on my Note 4. LoL
The first thing I did is taking them off with the plastic cover of the phone
Thanks for the headsup + :good:
I"ll be damn, I missed those also, thanks.
I used a piece of strong packing tape to get them off. Just touched and pulled. Much easier than trying to get your fingernail in there and risking a scratch.

You can still scratch the lens regardless if it's on or not. Having a $700+ phone I've very careful with it. Plus a case could help raise it a tad so the camera isn't flush.

Funny how so many of these youtube tech reviewers forget to remove it.
By the way I took them off but they don't have effect on the picture quality as the lens over only covers the edges not the lens itself as u can see so it doesn't matter u keep it or take it off

I always keep my G4 in a clear tpu case, but when I took it out of the case to change the battery, I dropped it, and I cracked the lens cover. I was terrified at first since one of the main reasons I bought the phone was for the camera. But, after I took the battery cover off and looked at the camera lens housing, it appeared that the lens housing would come off pretty easily.
So I went on ebay and found a $15 "OEM" replacement cover.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151794398884?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Who knows if it's actually an LG part, but I put the replacement on last night:
I accidentally ordered a gray colored one instead of the silver, but I think it looks fine.
The only issue I ran into was getting the part back into place. I can only tell you that you need to put the top of the piece in first, and work your way down.
PS: Wow, I just realized how different those pics look. The first pic (the cracked pic) was taken with another G4, and the 2nd pic (the repaired pic) was taken with an iPhone 6s. The shot taken with the 6s really misrepresents the case/color of the phone.
The question here is how did you take the photo with the 6S ?

Definitely, ease of repair is a selling point with this device. Not one that is mentioned very often by reviewers who only want to praise or bash the designers that only come into the picture after the engineers are done with their work.
I think the LG engineers who built this this thing should be proud
There used to be another korean company that until recently had the same philosophy, sadly they seemed to have lost their way this year. Was playing with various S6 variants in the shop yesterday and i hate the way the camera lens protrudes from the back, that lens is just begging to be scratched, smudged or cracked. but no, thin is in (!), its got a glass back so thin and slippery is a good recipe for dropping. Will be much harder to fix that thing by yourself.
I read somewhere this morning that V20 camera glass is easily broken, even without dropping or very extreme force. Anyone experienced this problem?

Yep gotta be something. Throwing on a Dbrand on top of existing protector. Hopefully someone will make a tempered glass protector for it.
I barely realized there was plastic on top of it. I ordered full body matte from dbrand so that'll take care of it too.

One guy left his flashlight on for 30 minutes, got his lense hot and the lense cracked.
Another guy got his new phone, took it out of box, looked at lense 5 hours later and claimed it magically cracked. Who knows what happened or what he did.
Then that YouTube scratch test guy tested the lense for scratches, he ran a sharp blade across it and watched it crack within seconds.
Now the entire Internet is in a panic over the V20 lense. Mainly reddit drama
I think it's all from the prior NOTE 7 PTSD!!!!

Well, see what I have from YouTube I am apprehensive about the camera lens. That is way too brittle. Defitelyndont should've used gg4 or something closer and preferably near sapphire strength.

There's already a few threads covering this.
This same conversation happened with the g5 also. Mine broke after about a couple months or so. The replacements were (are) on ebay for a few dollars. It's very easy to replace, just pick it off with a small screw driver or tweezers and the new ones come with adhesive tape applied, just press it into place.

Oh Jesus. The same shi** came up wit the Nexus 6P glass cover on the back and bending Nexus 6P. Both were just myths at the beginning from some idiots that don't treat their phones well and then it never became a big issue again.
The G5 also had this problem, but soon calmed down.

Haha, I remember those 6P rumors...
I already have two scratches near my flash because I don't have a case yet. Hopefully the case fixes these concerns before I get one near the lens area.

There should be a protector on the camera area' thats if you haven't removed it yet.

I think it is already removed. I put my finger nail in the corner and can't see anything lifting up. Maybe that the guy at the sprint store removed it for me
If what people say is true though and the pieces are just a couple of dollars on ebay, it won't be that big of a deal anyway.

Just run your fingers along the camera area, if you can feel the two camera hole is recessed, you have a protector.
Someone with a v20 leave the flash on for 30 minutes and lets test the glass! Might as well do it now while your in your return period!
