That is more than likely hardware damage, the camera hardware itself or the camera lens is probably damaged. Scratches or nicks in the glass covering the camera lens, would cause these artifacts to appear in your photos. One of my devices has a scratch that appears as a blue line in photos taken with that device.
Yours looks like granular nicks or scratches in your glass, probably caused by contact with sand at some point.

So please don't reply to this thread anymore, and we'll let it drift away into the forum graveyard .
Pictures work. Looks like the build quality is pretty good. What is going to be different about the panel you are installing?

Originally I had ordered a Chi Mei N101L6-L0D, because it was the only LCD panel I could find that was 3.6 mm thick with a slightly better viewing angle than the stock AUO screen. Unfortunately, the store I ordered it from sent me a LG LP101WSB(TL)(N1) instead. I can't find a spec sheet for this specific model, but if its anything like the WSA(TL)(N1), then viewing angles are even worse than the stock screen. But who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised .
Why not just add the pics to the existing teardown thread? This way we can have everything consolidated in the future once we start replacing hardware components!

I have to clean the camera lens pretty much everyday, almost every single time I take out my phone of my pocket, I grab it exactly where the camera module is , is it only me? Is there a particular reason why Google decided to move the camera from the middle to the top right side?

Cellphones are compactly designed, they have it there because that's the available space to put it in relation to all other hardware components in the phone. And I think it's more likely LG engineers who put it there.
Just chop off the fingers that get in the camera way or carry a microcloth with you to clean the camera when it's dirty.
Doesn't affect me. Ergonomics dictate that my camera lens is in the bottom-right corner of my pocket

I do the same thing.. Drove me nuts at first, now that I'm more aware of the camera placement I've changed the way I hold my phone..

I have the same issue. Often times it results in hazy photos with light flares.

So do you guys keep your phones in your pockets, right-way-up? Then grab it using "pinch and pull"?
Try this.
Put your phone in your pocket upside down with the screen facing inwards against your leg.
Now pretend you're receiving a call. Slip your hand fully in your pocket (as you would if you're keeping your hand warm) so it is over the back of your phone (which will be between your palm and your leg) and grab. Pull it out and its already the correct way round in your hand for taking calls or typing.
Then compare that to the right-way-up pinch and pull. You probably have to swizzle the handset in your hand so its in the correct position to answer a call, which leaves more chance for droppage

Tried and tested
I used to drop my phone a fair bit until I realised what was happening, then I changed and no more dropping. But also, lens doesn't get touched either

it sounds quite useful, but what happens when you listen music with your phone like I do all the time? it's impossible is to keep the phone upside down because of the headphone jack

It's the opposite for me. Past phones moto x, gs3, gs4 I had to constantly clean the glass over the lens of camera. N5 is off to the side I rarely have to wipe it

I replaced my shattered camera lens with one I got from Amazon. It had no instructions, so I watched a YouTube from a different seller. I'm not sure if I installed it correctly.
Now, my camera won't focus. Any ideas what the issue could be?

You may have received a defective replacement camera.
I, personally, would recommend that you try to return it for a replacement one due to the one you had received being defective with it inability to focus.
Here's some helpful guides on how to replace the front and rear cameras on the S4.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Front Facing Camera Replacement - ifixit
I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks. I only replaced the lens (as I has shattered it when doing repairs to my 5th wheel RV). Maybe I need to replace the camera as well.
When the camera app tries to focus, it actually does nothing. It does not go in and out of focus then screw up. Nothing happens. So maybe the camera was also damaged.
Is there supposed to be any physical movement when the camera focuses? Could there be glass fragments blocking the motion? I wouldn't think there is physical movement, but I don't know.

Damage to the lens more than likely had damaged the camera mechanism as well.
It might have just hit the mechanism enough to where the focus piece in the camera was damaged as well.

I've ordered a new camera off amazon. I'll replace that then report back
PS, after a couple of days, a small piece of glass has worked its way out of some hiding place and is now visible under the new lens/glass

You might got a fine glass particle into the camera. When you take the lens off try tap the screen to dislodge any dust. Or use an air can.
To fit the lens - i used a little bit of silicon to ensure adhesion - as the sticky pads the lenses come with arent really that good!
got an s8+ before the summer.....good phone, waterproof, good battery....but i'm not taking to it at all...hate the tall 18:9 aspect ratio and the on screen navigation keys.
so...i'll ask here what phone should i look to...
need a big screen....5.5"...better 5.7" or best of all a big 6" screen....but in traditional 16:9 wider ratio......dont mind big bezels at all.
need it to be ip68 waterproof
need an fm radio
need optical stabilisation on the camera
need an sd card slot
need hard capacitive navigation keys rather than on screen
need a battery life thats not poor.
all them things are commonplace on phones these days, but i'm finding it hard to get all that on one phone.
and...thanks in advance for any replies*

Ok so I'll try and explain this the best I can...
My camera with my S8 has a yellow circle that will focus on the face. Problem is, when its circled my face it makes it bigger(like fatter/wider) then smaller(skinnier/more narrow) and when it finally settles its either made my face look super wide or super skinny, distorted. It happens EVERY time I use my front facing camera and its a toss up which way it will go each time.
I couldn't find anything online describing what I've got going on...but from what I have gotten is that its the cameras focus I'm talking about, not some extra app I've downloaded. Is there any way to turn it off or change the settings?
