I used to take some really clean phone camera pictures, but lately, they've all been really fuzzy. I looked at the lens, and it's scratched up pretty badly. Has this happened to anyone else's? Is there any way to repair it?
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657598 has details.
I think its got a lot of dust and dirt in it. I had a small lift on my speaker grill from day 1 of my purchase and didnt really care, but I think its been accumulating a lot of dust on my front facing camera. Its made it really blurry.
Does anyone know a way to clean the camera? I'm guessing the grill has to come off and then it'd be easy. But I don't know how to open to grill without damaging the phone or putting the grill back without making it even more loose than it should...
It's been found that our cameras have a thin film across them that becomes dirty and scratched and makes it blurry. I had this on both front and back. Solution I found is to put a drop of water very carefully on the camera lense and rub it with the corner of a credit card, just a little pressure will do it. I'll pull that film off and your camera will be as clear as the day you bought it. I haven't had any blurry issues since I did it about 8 months ago.
i had the same issue with the rear camera so i just used some glass cleaner and now the pictures come out nice and clear
After i dropped my phone from pocket height onto the floor, i noticed the photos had a "black" smudge, i am not sure if the glass on top of the camera module is scratched as i can't visibly see it, but after trying to clean the camera with some rubbing alcohol, i took a photo of it with some alcohol droplets still on the glass (it looks like a blurry drakish spot on the photo when in normal conditions, the alcohol droplets allowed the camera to focus on the spot). Now how can i fix this, do i have to change the glass on top of the camera or the entire camera module as if the actual lens might be damaged. (It's the main shooter, not the tele.)
Looks like it damaged the sensor.
Buy another cam module
It looks like some dust got dislodged and got on your camera lens. Maybe you can check it by shining a bright flashlight on the lens and checking for any small debris that is on the lens (Lens I am refering to is the one that's under the back glass/lens, on the camera module for focus, not the one you can touch)
If there is debris, the only way is to remove the back glass and remove the debris with a air can, or a temporary measure is to hit your phone at an angle to dislodge it to another location (it may get stuck deeper inside the OIS mechanism so beware of that)

oddly enough i left my phone charging over a "wooly" surface and i can't seem to reproduce it (the smudge is like gone), what's bothering me is that i kept cleaning the outer part of the lens (the one i can touch without dismantling the phone) but it was still there, after i left it charging for like 20mins it was like magically gone, anyways thanks for trying to help me!!
I noticed there are small dust particles under the glass of the front camera. I have no idea how that got there. But I wonder if there's anyway I could remove them without taking the phone apart.
I have got some small dusts on the back camera but thank god it doesn't effect the quality.
I think you need to remove the front screen to remove the dust.
Just a curious question. I had to replace my screen a while back but I was careless and some dust got on the front camera lens. Is then ANY way to clean it without taking the screen off?
