I have apparently a dust particle inside the camera lens. Any ideas how to remove it without taking the phone to the repair centre?

You can atremp to disamble it to clean it. Note lenses and outer frame around the screen is terrible for getting dust in it. I normally disamble my phones every 6 months and give it a clean throughout.

I'm afraid the only way is to dissemble it.

I had dirt in the device since day 1, but now it's just getting really annoying seeing it. It's a little black spot on the top inside of my home button. I tried scratching it out but I couldn't, any advice on how to take it out?

So we all know the GS4 out of the box has some atrocious lag. Well I went through the steps to clear a lot of it out without rooting. Just stock, and changing some settings within the OS itself. But I was still noticing some small lag here and there. Well it turns out I put my GS4 on the charger and start using it, and I notice that there is significantly less lag, I unplug it, and then it goes back to usual lag. I have done this back and forth a couple of times, with the same results.
So could it be that Samsung ramps up the CPU when on the charger?

Your power save could be on?

I never experienced lag on this phone until yesterday and I noticed google services was using uo my battery. Went to the google settings and there is a new option call android device manager and I unchecked all the location settings and lag gone. Also if you have google currents go into settings and disable background sync.

Checked that and it's completely off. I wouldn't put it past Samsung do that, we've already seen them ramp up the processor and gpu for the benchmark rests, my guess is that they lower the clock speed when not charging or maybe below a certain percentage.

No lag here. Sorry to hear that bro

It's not like it's everywhere, it's just in a few places, like hangouts, where my One never lagged, or sometimes a jitter when swiping through apps or home screens. Guess I'm just not used to it coming from the One. But there is a difference in performance when plugged into a charger and not.

Watch a movie on the one or play a game. Its night and day compared to the S4.
My cousin has the one. YouTube takes at least 2 more seconds, worse quality, and skips.
Games skip/lag, and loading time is longer for the One.
You gotta take the good with the bad with either phone.

That is true, the YouTube app is much more solid on the GS4. But one small thing is that I get this huge black bar at the top of my YouTube app when I switch from portrait to landscape. Anyone know how to fix that?

That's just the app itself. That's not even a problem. If something like that REALLY bother you, then you're EXTREMELY anal about things.
P.s. I think you're a ONE fanboy that came on here to put down the S4.

It happens when you go from portrait to landscape and then back. I'll post a picture.

I just tried it. My YouTube app doesn't do that. You probably have an app issue. Sorry to hear that bro.

I have the weird app issue, so does my brother, and my mom. Both have galaxy S4. Why can't YouTube/Google fix this. Shouldn't be to difficult?

Exactly what black line are you referring to?
I even took a screenshot of YouTube with the search bar left on. No double black bar on my phone.
Like I said before. Its a ROM/app issue. Or phone issue.

I put my pictures up on previous post, but I'm on a stock t-mobile rom, just got the phone yesterday. Coming from HTC One.

On my t889 the rear camera is not focusing. Front is working fine.It was working fine for 1 year
I have tried cleaning the lens, no plastic on it.
I event gone as far as unrooting the device and installing stock rom. Stock rom with stock setting on camera still unfocus.
Any ideas on whats wrong or could it be hardware issue?
Thanks,
Did you check in camera settings if your focus is set to auto focus or is set to macro? I know if is set to macro the auto focus is not going ro work.

You know that around the lens there's a ring that a focus( at least I think).. is it possible that you moved it?... Why would you take the plastic off??

No plastic tape. No ring. Nothing. It worked fine for over a years and it just stopped. I unrooted and stock rom. Same problem. Its hardware. Tmo sending me new phone. Hello ebay and hello note 3. Im assuming its hardware issues.

Is that normal the screen haves a tiny and I mean almost micro separation from the metal frame it seems normal but the bottom of the screen isn't like that?
I have that too.
I thought it was from dropping it or something.
I almost noticed that gunk gets stuck in between it as well.
