Hey, guys recently I dropped my phone from about waist hight onto a tile floor. It landed on the backside and everything seemed fine until I went to use the rear camera again. Now there are about four blue dots that appear on the screen when in the camera veiw and they appear in pictures unless it is very bright outside when the picture is being taken.
Im not really sure what the problem is or how to fix it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

try flashing another rom. If its still there on different roms then its a hardware issue and you will probably have to send it in for repair.
Can you take a picture of it first? I wanna see how it looks
me too
My phone just started to do that ...I called Verizon and they are going to replace my phone. .. good luck

My immediate response was going to be that it mut be dust as it's invisible on the close up but...
Did you use a flash for the photo?
No i didn`t. The photo was taken without flash. Now I can share original photo made of that "defective" pixels:

I had a spec of dust under the screen of my original Desire. Today I took delivery of my replacement Desire and this also has dust under the screen.
I'm not sure what to do next.
Recently I noticed that there is dust under the camera glass in front of the camera. It initially appeared as a dark dot when taking pictures. Well now it got worse and there are two dots! I checked and it looks like there is more dust. I don't know how it's getting in there, but I already tried blowing compressed air on and around the camera to clear it, but it didn't work. Any ideas what to do? Here is what it looks like, it is the two dots on the bottom:

Hello
Yesterday, Ive updated my Note 2 via Kies, It was just a kernel update. It failed first time then kies gave a warning about kies didnt recognized your phone please remove cable battery and start again continou. I did so and updated it from start it did this time.
Today I figured out I have black spot on my main camera.
When I swap to video mode spot moves to right due to resoultion change.
I still have warranty.
But if this is a minor software problem I dont want to wait like 2 weeks.
Thank you.
Do the spots turn up in pictures or video or are they on your screen only? Can you upload an example?
they are just on photos or records, screen is fine. front camera works good.

That's dust my friend. See if you can either clean the lens or if its on the inside of the lens, use a blower. This problem is VERY common in SLR cameras too.
Good luck !

Keep searching around for a way to clean it unless returning your phone is easier.
Good luck and sorry to hear about your problem
Black spot in Galaxy Note 2 main camera
Hello All,
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 handset. Today I also figured out I have black spot on my main camera. My handset is in warranty. But can you please suggest me what to do ?
The phone is new. I purchased on Feb 14, 2013. I already cleaned lens dust. But still i m facing this problem.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks.
Hi everyone!
All of a sudden my phone camera (Arc S) is showing a dead pixel (I guess), I don't know how it got there. It's just there in every photo now, especially in the ones taken in dark. I somehow suspect my bag, had put it in the cushioned laptop compartment and had lots of heavy books in the other compartments. But I'm not so sure... I've even tried reverting back from JB (Super Jelly Bean) to ICS, change roms and everything but it still says there... :/
What could I do about it? How do I fix it, it's really annoying! I use my phone to take the most photos....
That's really weird o.o I don't think it's the actual screen's problem (that's to do with pixels) because otherwise it wouldn't show up in screenshots as it's just a hardware issue. I'm thinking it's something to do with your camera. Does that white dot appear in the same position in every picture?
R: [Q] Hot pixel?
..dust?
Inviato da me!

Yes, that white dot appears in every other picture and the exact same position. :/ I guess it's got something to do with the cmos sensor.. I don't think it could be a dust speckle cause it's really tiny, I mean aren't these sensors suppose to be perfectly sealed? They aren't dslr where one changes the lens.

It's probably the camera. It's there a scratch on the lens or the lens cover or can you see anything else that might cause this?

I guess I'll take a trip to the service center in the coming days. There had been scratches on the lens for a long time already, but somehow it never ended up like this. (not that I cannot distinguish between new and old ones )
Thank you for your opinions..
Photoshop it from now on
Great idea! Haha clone stamp to the rescue!! xDD
I've heard about the purple tint, scratches and so on, but couldn't find any other examples of the weird artefact my M8 started to display on the bottom-left part of the photos a few weeks ago. It wasn't dropped or anything - this has just suddenly appeared one day.
Has anyone encountered stuff like this?
Am new user, so can't post URLs. The examples are attached to the post, and can be found on imgur as:

Isn't that just a sticker? Reset your camera to default settings

It's no sticker. The camera has been reset, cache has been cleared, the artefact is there. It disappears from view when I zoom in, and changes shape when I use filters. Don't think it's software.

If you're sure it's hardware, can't do anything else except having it repaired, right?

You're being a bit condescending. I have recognized that I'm not an expert by coming here and asking a question, no need to drive this point further. That said, it's not as simple as "hardware issue = send for repairs". Stuck pixels on LCD monitors sometimes can be fixed. Camera sensors can sometimes be told to disregard faulty data. I'm looking for knowledge, not snark.
To me, looks like some sort of debris, possibly caught between the outer camera "glass" (probably plastic, based on how easily a lot of folks have scratched it) and the actual lens of the sensor itself. I can see a couple specks of dust caught like this on my phone when it was brand new (out of the box), but fortunately in my case they do not appear in photos. You would think the assembly of these devices would happen in some type of dust-free environment. But unfortunately, this is obviously not the case.
If I am correct (that its some kind of dust/debris), I don't think there is much you can do about it without taking the phone apart, or at least the outer lens (if that even comes out by itself).
