I have gotten my note 2 water damged. I have dried it out and cleaned it and everything, but there is still one lingering problem. There is a water bubble in the rear camera. I have unassembled it and dried the lens but still its not working properly. So the problem is there is water in the actual rear camera and i wanted to know how to fix it without replacing it.
Put it in a bag of rice for a day or 2. That should dry everything out

If you have a gas stove you can put the device in the oven for a few nigths (without turn it on) and the minimal heat will dry it. I did that with my old galaxy 550 and worked fine!

If everything works except the rear camera, buy a new camera . it only cost 33 dollars http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-sgh-t889-back-camera.html

Considering the fact the radio, kernel, and OS are pretty much interchangeable between the t889 and n7100, I'd say it uses the same driver. ....... meaning same hardware. Looks identical, same connector, and same drivers...... you think it wont work why?
Both use the tolte kernels and build tree as well.
Besides, I cant imagine Samsung would make multiple camera modules that are all different.... but look alike..... that wouldnt be very cost inefficient for them.

Based on my stated reasons, the same website list 2 part numbers and 2 different prices.
And to cost efficient why do some have wireless charging and we have to mod ours. The s3 had a thread just like this and you know what, there was a slight size difference they caused it not to work. Will this one work, I don't know I'm just looking at details and made a comment. By the way I'm talking hardware differences. It can be the same core hardware with difference shell causing it not to fit

BURRNNNN!
For future reference i would take each advice with gratitude and not trying to prove one person wrong. Have an open mind. He is right if you did a little more research you would see he is right.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
First of all... the only thing I was wrong about was that the tolte was n7105..... for that, I stand corrected.
HOWEVER.....There is no burn as I am not wrong. Hardware wise the devices are identical as they use the exact same drivers for the cam.
Much like you can use the same driver made for a dlink on a netgear, or belkin wireless card, as long as they all are the same interface ( pci / usb ) and run on the same chipset. Same concept. Different part numbers but the same driver and connection = same device period.
Proof? Refer to this thread... you can port any n7100 rom to an n7105.... and since n7105 is tolte...... as is the t889, all drivers are the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
Partitions are laid out differently. ..However....you can modify n7100 roms to work for n7105 and i317. As such, that means the firmware to run the camera module should identical...also meaning the camera hardware is using the same components.
Now.....Since we do use the international note base in some of our t889 builds, ( JediX to name one ), that means the n7105 camera is the same as the t889 at least driver wise.
As long as the connection to the motherboard is the same, which it appears to be, and it has the same driver to control the hardware, he should be good to go. Ill order one next week just to try ......
Never go 100% based on part numbers ... I worked for Ricoh as a field technician ( digital imaging + digital copy equipment ) ...we used the same 5 photo sensors for 30+ machines. All had different part numbers but were all interchangeable. Part numbers were different so there was accountability for which models used sensors more.
One more thing. Some one also documented that when they tore down their phone, there were multiple models printed on the ribbons and other hardware ( i317 , n7105 etc ). Im willing to bet that there are n7100 parts in some of our phones anyway.....

Also, I'm not going by part number only. In your rant you missed the fact I said we had this exact scenario on the Verizon s3 and there was a slight difference in size that didn't allow it to fit.
But go in with your Internet gangster self, you're a bad man and the smartest person here.
I'd like to remind you on one thing though. You're talking about the RON being interchangeable. The"drivers" are in the kernel, which is not interchangeable. Try a TO3G kernel on your phone and let me know how that works out.

I called today and made an appointment to see a sprint technician I go in and the manager stops me at the door and says can I help you with anything now any rooting veteran kn rows when u go into a repair center to play dumb so I said hum I have an appointment and he's like okay well come here and I'll look at the phone. That right there got me worried because and untrained cashier jockey was about to take a look at my phones sub port. The first mistake he made as I watched him carefully was he jammed his fingernail in the sub port and pryed the back cover off backwards and forcefully and almost throws my phone across the room. I wanted to say something but I did not want to spark him as he seemed to have attitude as it is. Well he outs a sub cable in ( first upsidedown) and he closely compares mine to the store cable I guess he doesn't know what micro sub looks like. And he says it charges just fine and decides to finally bring it to a technician and they ran a detailed test on my sub cable and determined it was frayed on the inside so I said to myself no buggy I then decided to ask if he cud do something about this crack in the screen bezel just about the volume rocker. And he employees and talks to me as if I'm 5 years old. The worst part is because he wasn't a technician I never got the survey call from sprint to rate his poor performance

I have a good relationship with the tech supervisor at the local repair center. The thing that kicked it off was when I brought my OG Epic in back when I was trying to get MIUI on it (before MIUI was release for it), he thought it was pretty cool that I was tweaking the phone like that and asked me if I could do anything with his Evo......free service/repairs ever since, no questions asked.

Look up t989 teardown. It looks like that is not the WiFi module, but the signal lead. Seems like its part of the mother board I believe. None the less, if it's just a copper lead it should be repairable. Being exposed may be causing some shorting out leading to the damage and bad connection. Repairing may not make it perfect though.

The reason I was soo critical about it is because I need it to take note in class and always have it with me when I need to study.
i dont think a phone/tablet/any electronic device could ever replace pen/paper when it comes down to class and taking notes...not even a laptop. our brains learn best when we write things out, not just type them up and to take tons of class notes on a 5.55" screen is just silly...anyway, my s-pen was initially too sensitive and would register screen taps at times when I would only be hovering. following a fix in some thread, I probably love my phone more than all my other devices combined :good:

While I do agree that paper and pen are the best, I actually saw a girl in my organic chemistry class who took all her notes on her iPad. She drew structures and wrote formulas with a cheap, standard capacitive stylus, typed out whatever she could type out, and took pictures of slides and a pasted them into her notes. I'm not sure what program she used, but it was quite impressive to say the least. Of course, I think it requires learning the programs inside and out and making sure you can use them efficiently.
I have a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy Note II and wouldn't use either one to replace a notebook and a good mechanical pencil. I'm also not motivated enough to try though either lol.
If you're gonna take notes, just do a Bluetooth keyboard... makes more sense.

All missing. Really? I will donate to whoever fixes that lameness.
/Rant over
edit....sigh...typo
second screen record was supposed to be Google wallet
But....you already donated to Samsung...
All kidding aside, shoehorning this into the OS that I don't believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) has been officially released (kernel and all) yet will be an ugly endeavor.
I applaud the ROM cooks for their hard work, and agree. I've done my share of donations to the Evo3D gurus, and will continue to for the future the Note2 wizards. I really doubt we'll see these features, at least seamlessly as we'd like, prior to Samsung releasing them.
While I can honestly say I'm disappointed for the same reasons, along with the fact that inductive charging on the Sprint models has been made almost impossible. (I've recently learned you may be able to physically mod the phone)
I also must admit, over all, this is the single best smart phone I've had, the only other phone I've been this excited about was the Palm Pre when it was first released (zomg true [email protected]#)
So, /rant signed, added to, and amended with a pat on the back to Samsung for delivering an awesome phone on it's own standing even with flaws. :good:

Yep. Along with multi-screen

And Google wallet (which can now store just about any credit/debit card.
What is so annoying about these features not being on the phone...is that they are SOOOO real world useful in application. I just don't get it.
Well I am sure it will be in an upgrade correct

Screen record will probably need to be a hack as some rumors are going around about a patent in the US vs. Europe.
Why Multi-App view is not working is unknown.
Google Wallet is dependent on Sprint allowing it, from what I hear.
Inductive charging has something to do with the outside case contacts with the internal battery contacts. the hardware my be causing this limitation although there is a rumor of a hardware hack for this going around as well.
It may very well be possible to actually disassemble the s4 camera sacrifice it into the s3 motherboard I might attempt to find a extra camera 40 s for online and try this only because the physical aspects of the cameras and design haven't really changed and I remember in old mod that was done on the T Mobile vibrant using AT&T model you could actually put the AT&T front camera into the samsung vibrant giving the vibrant a front cam
Anyone have opinions on this being done might need a software change if the physical cams swap over, I'm sure it will be a good amount of time before the camera alone becomes available online to purchase somewhere

Remember you'll need the appropriate drivers just like the vibrant with the international FFC. It could be possible but I doubt it. I haven't looked into this though so don't quote me.

Ya I know but its a very relevant possibility this could work...biggest issue id see is finding the camera sold as a stand alone piece .

You think the the hardware of the camera is the same? If I remember the vibrant had the hold for it but in this case would like to know if the housing of the s4 camera is the same for the s3.
someone want to try it lol

^ this.
Anything is possible, but not everyone has the skills and time to do so.

I just checked the pin-count on the S4 and S3 camera modules, and they are identical. Looks like they could fit, except that the flexcable is in the wrong place. This is something that might be possible to fix, though.
If I could get the module to fit physically, would it (in theory) be possible to use S4 camera module drivers for the S3?

Im no expert but never before such a thing has been done on any device to device so I'd say no

Just get a s4, the camera we currently have is good enough unless your a photographer

Agreed! And if you are a photography enthusiast or professional, Im willing to bet you have a camera that no smartphone can match anyway! Plus the risk involved vs the cost of the hardware just makes this impractical, to me anyway!
But then there is also something else to consider. The S4 is already on 4.2.2. I seriously doubt the camera modules, let alone the SamsungCamera.apk, would work at all on our phones which are still only at 4.1.2.
After we get our update, this point may become redundant, but I do not think it would be possible right now.
I've also heard that it may be possible to mod the battery from the S4 to the S3. Think of the possibilities!
To be honest it doesn't seem worth it to try. If you mess something up you'll pay big time, and the quality isn't that much of a difference unless you're obsessed with photography. It just seems impractical to me. And there's no guarantee it'll work just because it worked on an other Samsung phone.
Just pointing that out. But you guys can do whatever you want just don't come crying to me when you break something.
I would just wait for the s5 or get an s4. Right now I'm more than happy with my AT&T S3.

real photographers never use cell phone cameras. psh.
QUOTE=saranhai real photographers never use cell phone cameras. psh.
Well obviously they don't but only someone that loves taking pictures ie
(Photographers) would care enough to mess with hardware to go from 8mp to 13. That was the point I was trying to make, doc understood it pss

No, the only people that are going to do this mod are people that are impressed by numbers and can not leave their phone well enough alone.
No serious photographer is going to use their cell phone camera, no less care about 8 to 13 MP. Its like sac religious.
Here just buy this Nokia 1020 with 41mp camera that is coming out in a couple weeks it spits out a 5mp copy with each hi-res pic taken for sharing......Only $299 with 2 year contract >>> http://i.nokia.com/blob/view/-/2723846/data/1/-/Lumia1020-whitepaper.pdf
I mean, that's the point of XDA. We love numbers and performance. We love tweaking and enhancing. If anything, if we weren't we'd all be iOS users by now.
