hey ..my opo is more than a year old , recently I found that there's some dirt inside the rear cam ..not the cam itself but glass surrounding it. I actually removed the dirt by myself .. but it gets dirt again somehow. isn't there a way to get rid of it ?

So......
You're saying that you found dirt
You're saying that you removed the dirt
You're asking if there's any way to remove the dirt
WTF?
K .. my bad I didn't complete my view.. actually I've dealt with this once, but it keeps attracting the dirt again .. I'm not sure how . That was my question . @SimonTS
In that case I'd suggest you have a gap somewhere that the dust is getting through.
I've had my OPO since very soon after release and have never had a problem with dust ingress.

so i dropped my fuze the other day taking it out of the case and when it hit the ground the cover and battery came off and out. i put it back together to inspect the damage and didnt see anything wrong (i was outside at night in a parking lot). when i got back to my house i looked over the phone again in the light and noticed that it looked like my camera lens was all cracked. it turns out that only the square piece of glass in front of the camera was broken and i peeled it off and the camera seems to work fine without it. does anyone know if this affects the lens at all by being exposed and where i might be able to get another square glass cover??? the original one seemed to be glued down so i dont see why i couldnt glue another thin piece of glass overtop of it???
you can probably check out how thick the glass was and then cut off a small piece and glue it down with a normal glue just so it sticks... it's mostly to protect the lens,
yea it has to be 1 mm at most its really small. i'll take it to a camera shop and see if they have anything i can use to fit in where it was. thanks
i dropped my first fuze from a short distance and that little piece of glass broke around the sides. i think its just a noise filter. the camera still worked but there was alot of extra noise which almost seemed to pulse on the image. im taking better care of my replacement fuze.
did att give you a new replacement for free? i think i am just going to hold on to this one and flash it a few times until the fortress comes out sometime at the end of the summer.

Any ideas? Can it be cleaned or should it be replaced?
You did the obvious and removed the plastic cover on the lens when you got the phone right?
No.. i removed it just yesterday
Hi.
I don't know if the removal of the plastic fixed your problem ... but i have the same black spot on my rearfacing camera too without having any kind of plastic on the camera module ... knox is tripped ... no warranty for me so i want to ask you guys, if the problem is the camera module, or the camera lens glass since i would like to order the right spare part.
Thanks!
Has anyone figured this out yet? I have seen other sites suggest "dropping the phone" lol ummmmm no.
I have the outer lens off now, and I have cleaned the top and the sides of the lens very gently maybe one time not so gentle and still the spot remains. I see if I out pressure where the spot is it fades lightly.

Hey, well i had the same black spot on the camera and actually dropping the phone solved the problem ... it was an accident (it fell from about 3 ft) and i had a case on my s6 but it fixed the whole thing ... it may not be the brightest idea, but it will most likely solve your issue.... ( Do it on your own risk tho!)
Hello guys,
I got a little question for you guys,
I cracked the front screen last week while i past the door whit my butt.
On ebay/aliexpress i saw screen's for just 25$ can i just buy it and replace it or do i need to glue or somethings like that?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD..._4&btsid=930b0ed9-7472-420b-953f-0a4dcbc50797
I already opened my phone like 100times for like battery replacement and cleaning but i never understanded the changing of the lcd.
By the way phone/touch is still working its only the cover glass or somethings i think
Hey guys,
So as i was admiring my S7 from all angles (truly a beautiful phone) under the sunlight, i noticed something weird. Just above the front speaker grill, i noticed 2 stains in like a form of pyramide. I tried to wipe it off, but nothing. So im afraid its maybe water (since it was raining hard the past week) or i don't know, maybe humidity ? What could it be ? Its midly annoying, could it be the sign that the "waterproofing" of my phone is deficient?
take a close look

I tried differents method to try to remove it. I tried to like "sucking" it out with my mouth as i though maybe its water but nothing, i also tried to use my hairdryer and proceed to put it in front of the speaker but still nothing.
Do you think its something that could be considered serious ? should i try to repair it in a center ?
I never used it in water and i bought the phone brand new 1 month ago, case and screen protector since day 1.
Looks like the paint coating is peeling off from the front glass. This happened to my friend on her s5, and I've heard several people with s7 have the same issue.

If u have warranty, take it to samsung. It's ridiculous for a 1 month old phone to already have paint peeling off issues.
I mean, that's only estethic, it won't cause any other issues, it just looks ugly.
The paint is like a sticker that is glued on the glass, and it tends somstimes to unpeel if the glue isn't applied well.

From a friend
So it turns out I did some research and it seems it was some dust trapped on the lens cover inside.. Some how it got in with a waterproofed cased phone.. But the fix was actually tapping the phone on a hard surface a few times and the spot vanished.. Weird but it solved the problem.. Make sure u don't damage your phone tapping it and do it with a hard case at your own risk

Got absolutely the same spot in my daughter's phone. A technician proposed to replace the camera. After I've read above, maybe a cleaning only will work. We'll do it this week.
Ive got the same problem but about 5 specs. I've only had the phone for about 4 months. Ive replaced the rear camera lens glass but thats not got rid of it. The next step is to replace the camera module (£15 on ebay). But I'm worried i'll break the rear cover leading to more expense. It's a shame because its a good phone. None of my smart phones have lasted a year! Something always breaks. I had more joy with a g4 plus camera until my son threw it in the bath. I think Im going to sell this pbyone to someone more confident with repair and buy a Xiaomi from China.

I should add that this is shocking quality. A supposedly water proof phone that on launch cost over £500 with the camera as a main selling point. A quick google search will tell you that this issue frequently occurs on s5, s6, s7 etc. I think Samsung are more happy to sell new phones than make phones that last longer than the launch of the next model.

If you can't keep a phone without breaking it, the problem is on your end.
Well this s7 has been looked after. Its had a couple or waist height drops but it has a griffin case.
Thanks a lot....

Thanks a lot for the suggestion..i heard about it in some other blog and dint believe it until i saw it here on xda.... Surprisingly this happened with note 8.... And still surprising is the same solution..... Thanks again...
Tapping didn't work for me. I bought a new camera module off of AliExpress for $5. Paid a phone shop $5 to get the back off. Replaced the lens myself. The camera is perfect now. You must make sure the lens is exactly the same down to the colour of the flex and writing on it. The first two I got failed because they were different versions. Some ebay sellers use the wrong photo in their listings.
I had the same problem. Solved it perfectly by holding the phone 60 degrees on a flat surface with a little cloth on it and letting the phone face down drop on the surface. I dropped it face down because my front camera was affected. I had a screen protector and a case + cloth on the table so no damage what so ever. Just drop it. The dust will somehow move. I think this solution is better than digging into the lens and removing it. If the problem persists than take it to a service.
I tried that first and it didn't work. It cost me 10 bucks to replace the lens. Shops have a hot plate so they can remove the back cover easily. With the new lens my camera has far superior image quality. I think it was more than just a bit of dust that was wrong with it. The lens was damaged. Another issue can be the inside of the glass on the back cover gets dirty. Just replacing or cleaning that when the back cover is off made my pictures clearer and stopped the camera over exposing every shot.
Buddy, is it tape it on the camera phone or the whole phone?
Do you mean tap? You could try trapping or shaking the phone to move dust to the side but that didn't work for me. I replaced the camera lens and you should clean the inside of the protective glass on the back cover too.
