[Q] Rear Camera performance very poor Galaxy R - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

I have been using Galaxy R for 1 and a half year. The phone camera performed great for the first 6-8 months probably. But after that the back camera is not usable. The front camera is much better than back camera now. Back camera takes pictures, which seems like of vga quality. Even at nice light conditions, the pictures come very bad. However if I am using flash and taking very close pictures, it looks fine. Is there problem with lens ? I have used different camera apps and even other ROM as well but camera quality is not good in any case.

I had the same issue. Must be your back camera glass is scratched. look carefully. I found spare in eBay hongkong, ordered and replaced it. Now it is crystal clear again

Apparently Deals Extreme has it too... and cheaper by a few bucks.
possible dumb question: Is it safe to put a magnet all up on the back of the phone like that?
Just tested with a REGULAR magnet I had in a drawer and I have good news! It stayed put on top of the camera so it should work!

A magnet, not the magnet macro lens. Edited my post so that there won't be any more misinterpretations.
I'm just stating that it's possible to use the macro lens as the area around the camera is magnetic.

it should be perfectly fine, especially since the lens is not meant to be permanent; you'll be removing it after every use.

I just ordered the same one that ogdobber did. According to my calculations it should fit pretty good actually. I think anything in that 25-27mm range will be fine, but of course it will be a couple weeks before it arrives to verify.

Received the SmartLENS-1 week shipping from HK!
So this is the one I bought here
I ordered it on the 9th and it came today (the 16th). pretty impressive shipping time from Hong Kong!
It fits perfect, however the magnet on the lens isn't strong enough to hold on securely to the Nexus. The SmartLENS does come with 2 steel rings that have adhesive tape that is barely noticeable when stuck on.
The lens can take macro pictures and wide angle...the only pictures I attached are macro and I have to say it is quite impressive. see for yourself below.

Looks nice, ogdobber. Can't wait to try something like that with 720P

Camera glass cover question

I replaced camera glass (not lens) because it was cracked. Looks like new one is plastic, it can be easily scratces and if I remember correctly original one is glass not plastic. Is every replacement is plastic or I bought bad one, this is important because I can't afford them easily. You guys pay 5 but I have to pay 20 or more.

You can get a glass original samsung from Ebay, not expensive
Sent from this galaxy
Thank you for answering. :good:
However how can I be sure if it's original or not?
1 $ = 3.67 ₺ that makes 5$ product costs me 18.38₺ which is high for me to buy another to try many times.
Can you recommend another site? (they shutdown paypal in my country so i can not shop from ebay)

Do a thing take your phone to a watch repair shop who puts glass in wrist watches, and ask them to cut the glass of the phone camera size and apply it on your phone. Got mine fixed from a local watch repair shop at 1.5$ and the camera is working just fine as it used to do.
Give a thumbs up if you feel it helped

I bought a plastic one and you are correct scratches easily, i found one on amazon which is glass https://www.amazon.com/Mudder/b/ref...8123742011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Mudder
hope this helps ..its a little more difficult to install so watch the video on youtube first to get correct order of pieces
Hi guys. I just have a quick question. I bought my note 4 2nd hand and upon checking i noticed there's a small crack on the glass cover of the rear camera. When i tried using the camera, it could not focus at all. It keeps blurring. So i replaced the glass cover, and when i tried using the camera again, same issue is still present.
Should i just change the entire camera assembly?
TALIA guys. ??

Moment Case for OnePlus 6

Hey guys
just received my Moment lens case today.
So far so good, I talked to the owner and the 6T cases will be out sometime in February.
This case seems really solid and the wooden part feels like actual wood (not sure if it is or not)
I'll keep you guys up dated as I play to use it this holiday a lot with the family.
Do you know if the lenses are compatible with the Rhinoshield adapter? The mounting system looks the same.
Can i get the link?

Yeah I'm kinda curious bout that too, Moment took their sweet time releasing this case and I couldn't wait for some "timeline" so I jumped on rhinoshield, the mount does indeed look very similar.
I like moment's lens selection, especially that anamorphic lens, I may just buy a lens to see for myself and if I need a case, I'll get it

I can't find a real review of the moment lens on the oneplus 6. I've been googling reviews everyday.
What's it like?
I've personally been waiting for years for Moment to make a OnePlus case!
I was on my OnePlus 2 when a friend got his first lens for his Pixel...
Moment lens are quality, they start to be pricy when you start getting them all considering it's for a cell phone, but at the same time, it's cheap when comparing on getting the equivalent on a DSLR... So it's a little mix feeling.
Really thought, your phone is the best camera you almost always have with you and much compact to carry around a couple Moment lens then a camera bag.
I used to be a full time photographer so it's not going to replace any of my gear when I really want a quality photo but it's definitively a fun tool to carry around.
I just received my black case and the wide angle. Looks and work very well!
Here are some sample shots I today with and withought the wide
Cheers
The distortion of the wide 18mm is driving me nuts. It looks like everything is slanted away from the lens.
Bought a moment wide 18mm v2 for my OnePlus 6T. But since the case isn't it yet, I also bought a Sirui 60mm (direct competition to the new Moment 58mm tele) with the same lens mount... and that comes with a clip-on style.
So I put the clip on my 6T and mounted the Moment wide lens on the clip. And no matter how I mounted it, there is a HUGE amount of blockage in the corners of my smartphone viewfinder.
Curious to know, how close does the moment oneplus 6 case comes to the OnePlus 6 lens? Because the sirui clip is not more than 1mm thick and that thickness is already causing the lens to block part of the total image.

I bought the Sirui set that includes wide (18mm?), macro and portrait (60mm) that came with the clip. Then i got the moment case for the OP6. Withe the moment case, i get a small but noticeable dark corners with the wide. The dark corners are barely noticeable with the 60mm. See pics attached (wide, no lens, portrait, in that order).
I should mention that i can't get fingerprint unlock with the lens mounted. Perhaps it would work if i redo the fp with the very tip of my finger.
Pics of the mount please! Shame I can't find a case with 17mm or best, 37mm standard lens mount so that we have a bigger selection.

Not sure what you want to see... Here are some pics of the moment case with and without the sirui 60mm lens.
These lenses are large enough to block the secondary camera on the OP6. Not sure how that affects IQ.
the case looks really beautifull on the backside it also protects the camera, however does it has decent lip to protect the screen ?

What do you think of this Fingerprint Friendly Tempered Glass for the Samsung S10?

What are your thoughts on this glass?
InvisShield True Fit for Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus
Mod Edit
Seems the same as Whitestone with a few exceptions. I do like that the camera cutout isn't there but I feel like Whitestone is easier to install with the kits they provide.
Might be a good idea to install that way! Thanks for the share. I ordered something similar from AliExpress, gonna take forever to get here and has some bad and good news for the fingerprint sensor
Im not going to blow money on these gimmicks. Tempered glass has soo many advantages too but the reality is- there is no great solution for the curved screen except a wet install and good case+ extreme care like not walking and using phone, not holding phone while getting out of car in gravel driveway, etc.

i think the front facing camera is optimised as is, adding extra glass will affect that.

FINALLY GOT MY GLASS TODAY AND IT WORKS!!
I tried first with standard way and fingerprint didn't work. Second try followed that video the mods took down and it worked perfectly!! I didn't even re-register my fingers. It's a little less accurate but I'd rather not have a cracked screen when i get careless over the next 3 years I own this phone.

I'm using it. My only issue with the glass in this thread is the absence of the camera cutout. I know before I had stated it seemed nice but my Whitestone has lifted up around the top while still actually being adhered to the phone. If I didn't have the cutouts then my front camera would be blurry. I assume this company would use similar glue and would end up with the same results later on.
get an insurance for it, and save money on your case!!!!
