Front facing camera defect

I have two Photon's with a defective front facing camera. I was wondering if there are any more XT897 users with this issue?
I know at least one of the camera's was working fine untill a couple of days ago. The other, well I'm not sure. I'm curious if this is just bad luck or maybe it's a design flaw like the the way the speaker is mounted in the XT894 (same speaker as XT897, had to swap one). I'm waiting for a new digitizer to replace. I'll have a look at that one to see if there's any wear & tear to be found. I hope it's just a bad connection or something. If I remember correctly, this camera uses a ribbon flat cable. So hopefully it's as easy as cleaning and correctly reconnecting it.
I just really, r e a l l y, hate disassembling the XT897 front housing
Front cam works here. I had another xt897, it met an unfortunate glass of water. Front cam worked fine on that one too, before its misfortune...

The problem with these two phones is that the apps don't even see the camera. I am unable to select/swap camera's. So it has to be a hardware fault. And that worries me. One of these phones has never been opened. The other one, I can`t remember.
Will post here as soon as I get that new digitizer. After that I will open one up and see if I can fix it simply by cleaning/re-connecting the camera.

z3 fake?

(i didn't post this in q & a, because i want to make this an open discussion about fake devices)
the first sony xperia z3 i had was around 70€ cheaper than most of the other z3's online.
the serial number flap in the usb port was missing.
the nfc logo and sony logo on the back were grey and not silver shining.
backlight wasn't same brightness at all parts af the screen (very little).
back glass crack and random screen digitizer crack appeared after 2months.
after had gotten a full replacement after i send it to service, i noticed that this one is faster and the battery also seems to last slightly longer.
bootloader unlock worked without issues over the official sony website.
curstom roms and kernels worked flawlessly.
what was going on with my past one?
how can it be unlocked by sony and install kernels and roms, but yet seems to be fake, and sony replaces it?
The previous owner probably cracked the back and replaced it with a new back which might explain it looking different.
My NFC and Xleria logos are not shining, I'm guessing more was wrong with the phone than he originally said

[Completed] Xperia Z3: there's a water particle when i open the camera. How to fix it?

My phone is a legit Xperia Z3 last month I bought it. And when i came home I tried to pour a glass of water on my phone and after a few minutes the screen died. I sent it to the sony centre and after two weeks they fixed it. It was going so well good as new an I'm still brave enough to try it's water ressistant feature. I washed it and nothing happened I now guarantee that this phone is water-ressistant. But last week i checked my camera and I noticed there's a little water particle or a blurry watery little part in my camera until now. What should I do? I moved last week to Philippines but the warantee is not international it's only in New Zealand. What should I do?
Hi, welcome to XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear that you have issues with your camera.
Try asking in the help section for your device here
Maybe other Z3 users can provide a fix.
Good luck.

S6 Camera Sensor exchange / repair Before Sony, now Samsung ?

I got just my Sony Sensor exchanged to Samsung Sensor due to Camera Failure. The Sony snesor just stopped Focusing . To Focus I had to shake the camera or to pooint upwards, then it started to focus again, when pointing downwards.
Samsung does not want to exchange my camera to a sony camera, because they say because of warranty I have to accept it. But in my opinion and i nthe opinion of many people here the camera is much worse. Now I was wondering, why they can't just give me back, what I have bought and paid for. While this I still try to figure out at my local store, I am surprised to some other things.
I only read of people, that they got thei sony camera exchanged to samsung/isocell. Not the other way.
I also realized, that there have been some sold offs of the samsung galaxy s6, like mine with the sony sensor.
I s it possible, that Samsung already knew, that the sony sensors have some kind of failure and they wanted to get rid of the sony module phones. And if the people realize failure, they just exchange?
Because of that I want to know, how many people with camera problems, who exchange then, have which sensor here.
Mine has isocell out the box. 2 weeks old device

Microphone and GPS not working after screen replacement (E6653)

Hi!
I broke the screen from my Xperia Z5. I ordered a new one from ebay with the screen and frame, installed it, and afterwards the mic and GPS are not working. I ordered a new microphone thinking I broke it when disassembling the phone, but even with the new one it doesn't work. Does anyone have any tips on what to try before I get rid of the phone?
Google didn't help much except that someone had the same mic problem with the original Xperia Z - didn't work after screen replacement. Also I couldn't find any info on where the GPS is located on the Z5 so I could check it for damages or something.
I replaced my screen too, but I haven't got any issues. Maybe you broke the motherboard connectors
