Here's the jist of it, I ended up shattering the camera lens cover on my HTC Sensation. Now the pictures look just fine when I take a picture but I see this becoming a problem in the future....is there anyway to replace this lens cover or am I totally screwed?
Hi
I replaced the broken screen on my Nexus 5, but now there is a small hole on the front of the screen where the front facing camera is. Water could easily get into it and cause some damage. I must've missed a part when putting it back together.
What can I do to plug this hole while still being able to use the camera? What specific part do I need?
Thanks, Chris
Tried ifixit.com?
was it an original screen?
A screen protector would probably cover it.

"A screen protector would probably cover it." Yes, but at some point I'm probably going to sell the phone.
Is the cover over the camera part of the screen or part of the camera or innards of the phone?
So, I got The camera lens on my s6 fixed at a local repair. I made That decison because every charged me like 250 euro(286 dollars) for repair. So, I got it fixed for 50 euro(Huge drop in price, I know). After I got it fixed, my photos turned out to be Blurry. When I broke The camera lens I also noticed That The camera had also got scratched, but I still could got some decent shots, without The cameralens.
I also noticed That The new camera lens got a hq logo in left upper corner. I inmediately thought...this is not an original Samsung part. But my question is: does The scratched camera create Blurry pictures or is because The cameralens isnt a original Samsung part?
I also have some example pictures shot with The new cameralens. I also shot some.with my girlfriends s6.

What is the difference between the scratched "cameralens" and "camera"?
You mean the actual lens is scratched and also the big rounded square protective glass?
Well, in case a not quality replacement part was used, it can have an effect on the overall picture quality.

Hi all,
I broke the glass of the rear camera of my S7275R.
Is there any chance to get that fixed?
Is it possible to get a spare glass?
Any help is appreciated.
I just replaced the back glass and noticed that the auto focus does not longer work. The camera just won't focus at all.
I tried to cover the 3 dots at the back but it didn't fix the problem. Still very blurry picture at any distance.
What went wrong?
Ps: does the camera move in order to focus? Because I think there is a tiny piece of glass between the camera and the plastic edge behind the replaced back glass. I tried to get it out before installing the glass but instead of removing it I somehow managed to dig it deeper. My guess is it could block the camera from moving.

If the glass was broken and autofocus isn't working, chances are there is glass inside the camera. Parts of the camera do have to move in order to autofocus correctly. I would recommend taking off the glass, turning the phone upside down(so the camera is facing the ground), and hitting the phone hard( but not breakig it obviously.) This may even work without taking the glass off, you'll just have to try it. This would hopefully knock some of those pieces of glass free.

BTW, this could also be caused if the glass is dirty on the side with the camera.

Do you have a link for the rear glass you purchased? I broke mine about 2 months ago and every replacement I've bought is not oem, it has adhesive covering most of the back instead of just on the edges, also there's a hole cut out for one of the sensors when it shouldn't be.
As for your issue, they "windows" for the camera or sensors might be dirty, or even a spec of dust throwing off the auto focus.

Lol I wouldn't recommend banging it. Would probably have better success using tweezers and compressed air to remove whatever is there.

Banging it would probably be the best option. If there's tiny shards of glass in your camera your not just going to get it all out with tweezers. Compressed air could work, but if you don't have compressed air banging it (aka lightly tapping the top of the screen to get the glass out) is probably your best bet.
Did OP ever resolve this issue? Dealing with the same thing now...
Same issue for me. Any idea how to make focus works again? I have dirty lens message from time to time... Is focus in lens or laser near the lens?
I'm having the same issue.
