My camera lens has cracked. I know it can be peeled off, but I want to try to find a replacement. Does anyone know where I could order this part to put it back on myself? Ive done quite a bit of looking on google, and havent found anything solid.
Thanks!

Only problem is it looks like you have to buy a minimum of 3.. cheap enough that you could probably sell the other 2 on Ebay or to someone on here who wants a spare..
If you look at the other cameras they sell, they are the photo units themselves, not the lens. I would say 22 bucks is more likely the price for the camera unit. Very nice find though!
Maybe you can call them and findout if they info on that.. odd that they wouldnt have the lens when they have almost everything else..

A coworker of mine had his lens cover "push in" to the housing and VZW replaced it for him.
Well I don't have insurance, and the lens is cracked, not just pushed in.
He didn't have insurance either...
What do you have to lose by calling VZW and asking them? A wasted 5 minutes?
they even replaced my bricked phone for free with overnight shipping......
I got the red development cover off EBay. It came with a new back plate that has red buttons and a silver camera ring.
I'm not sure if I'm going to try replacing it or not... But would have an extra lens cover if I decide not to.
If it has the lens and all still in it I will gladly paypal ya for it.
Looks like that globaldirect place added a part.. this coujld be it if you are still looking for it.

That looks to be the part. I'm ordering 2 and will update with what they are exactly.
can you update with what that part is exactly? i'm thinking about trying to change mine out and would be nice to know exactly what i'm getting before ordering. i e-mailed them but haven't gotten a response yet...
mainly i'm interested in knowing does it come with the glass too, or is it just the bezel?
Anyone find a camera lens cover glass part yet?
Got the lenses in finally. Sorry it took so long, I was out of town on business for a bit. The glass lenses are included with the bezels, but there is no foam bumper like the stock lens. I keep my phone in the Speck case so that really isnt an issue. The lenses are protected by a plastic film which was nice. If anyone has any questions let me know. One concern i do have is glass seems to be off center on one of the bezels i received. I am going to contact them about that.
Any updates? Mine fell off but the camera still functions well. As much as I love the phone, I'm beginning to see just how cheap it is.
it seem like my DINC camera lens are coming offing too. if i pressed little bit harder, it will popped right inside.....
I have a loose lens, as well...
Love the Dinc...hopefully the dinc2 will be a little better quality...
If you have a tiny bit of skill you can make one out of any thin piece of clear plastic. Grab an old boombox or phone or something you don't use anymore with clear plastic and then grab your file and get to work. Free fix.
I know there aren't any out yet, unless I've missed some, but as the husband of a woman who just had her screen shatter when the phone was dropped it sure would be handy to have on thread where people could post links to parts when they become available.
I think this would make a great sticky so people can start fixing their phones ASAP once parts are out.
Well there is a section for accessories but I don't know of that would help. I am sure though when replacement or after market back plates are available we will hear about it here..

Damn, for almsot the price of a new 8GB.. Might as well buy a new one and leave the busted one for parts...
Remeber that the backplate houses the nfc chip along with some of the antennas (not 100% sure on the antennas) so it would be a costly replacement compared to a standard back cover

If it is anything like the HTC One X and similar phones you usually heat the old LCD glass/display and it unsticks from the main chassis, you then stick the replacement screen back on.
Unless you know what you are doing when replacing the LCD and in some cases have specialist tools and lots of patience, you are probably better off buying a new phone (when you can get them!) and selling the broken one for spares on Ebay.
Back covers may appear. The HTC One X had replacement back covers available quite soon after launch and these contain the antennas, which are little more than sticky bits of foil, and the NFC antenna, for around £28.00 in the UK. The charging antenna is little different to the NFC antenna and they are both together as one part on the Nexus, so that shouldn't make too much difference, but of course there is the glass as well. But hopefully not too expensive given the likelihood of breakages.

Waiting and hoping for replacement backs or a method to replace the glass specifically. My rear glass cracked on the first drop and unfortunately has a crack on the camera lens.
You are definitely correct about the NFC antenna, looking at the iFixit teardown it's just basically some foil glued to plastic. This should not be a major deal breaker in terms of replacement costs.

The backs should go for about $30-$40 once prices stabilize, I've taken mine apart and it looks fairly cheap to replace. The Digitizer and Glass (along with the bezel) usually are best when purchased as a solid piece (usually titled "Display with frame") and costs $200+ now and will likely stay $150+ in a couple of years. If you crack your display, mail it LGE as they will fix it up for about $150ish I believe, which is the same price you would pay if you had insurance through Sprint for a cracked digitizer ($150 is the standard deductible for a ~$8 a month insurance plan for the SGS3).
has anyone replaced the screen yet? my phone has slid off surfaces loads and never smashed. however a small bit of sand in my pocket and the damn thing gets scratched. i've had touch screen phones for years and never used a screen protector and never had a single scratch, this is my first "gorilla glass" phone and it gets scratched. looking for how difficult it was to replace?
I wonder when replacement ear piece speakers will become available. Phone is working great except for the crackling ear piece. Hopefully it will be a cheap part and easy fix.

Hello, so yesterday i noticed some scratches on the camera lens and i can feel them with fingernails.So i googled about scratches on lens and almost everywhere they said it does not affect pictures that much but when i try to take pics with my SP they turn out to be fuzzy/blurry.Im afraid the warranty doesnt cover it too
Any advice what should i do?
Sorry for my english and if this thread is in the wrong section feel free to move it
after 2 months the camera lens looks terrible. im not using protective case but it is in pocket on its own no keys or lighter next to it. somehow the camera LENS got nice scratches. there is a purple color shine on the lens like on eyeglasses which supposed to be scratch resistant layer but it has gone completely. since the lens is not covered physically i have to clean the fine dust off the lens to take photo. what i see the on closer look is that the scratches are drawing circles that makes me think the lens is so soft material that the cleaning causing the scratches. i guess its plastic. i havent checked it yet but after replacing it ill do a test. i ve found on sony support forum a link where u can buy replacement lens which is by description 100% glass.
interesting that the screen itself is very durable but this tiny round lens is a crap. disappointing from sony. very stupid mistake of chosing this material for such a nice phone. i am thinkin to call them and make a complaint. :crying:
Yup, mine is scratched too, every photo looks like Joan Collins c1986.
I believe it's just stuck on so should be easy to replace.

faulty assembly?
My mate said that purple layer is a kinda filter (flare,uv or whatever) supposed to face to camera. Is that possible?

I have the same problem, and I just bought one.
Here's a question for people who have changed it : do you have to unscrew the back of the phone (not just the back cover) or can you change it directly ?
From what I've seen, the lens and the "camera ring" might be "glued" directly, but might as well have to come off from the inside.
Another thing, there's one screw that's not directly visible, it's under the antenna, at the bottom of the phone...
Some help would be really appreciated !
Thx
I managed to get the ring off with just my finger nails, the ring and lens are two separate pieces, when the ring is off, the glass sits in a recess, so may be a bit tricky to remove.

Is there any purple coating on the replacement lens? If no than its just a plain glass and not like the original. I will just polish off the coating. On photo there is sharp area just as the clean area of the lens.
Thanks for the tip @technaudio.
@r1kkHUN : I'll tell you when I get it, but since it's an original part, I guess it'll be there, i'd make no sense otherwise.
Good luck with the polishing, I'm affraid I doubt it'll solve the problem though.
T cut or some fine rubbing compound that you polish a car with might work?

Hi.
Just got the new lens, and changed it.
Easy and fast, and the result is perfect, and for only 11€
There isn't any purple coating on the new one I got, but it seems to be okay, I'll try to take pictures in the sun as soon as the weather gets better.
I did a little guide about it on a french forum, if you want to have a look at the pictures.

Bye and thanks again.
I was jogging and fell wearing my watch. The camera glass shattered. Anyone know a way to fix it? The camera still works, just broken camera glass. Also just know if you fall wearing this thing, you can potentially break your little bone in your wrist with the speaker part of the watch. Just FYI. Also, I haven't found anything on the Web about broken gear cameras, anyone had this happen to them?
WOW that looks Nasty !!!!
Cannot see if you will be able to replace just the Glass your best bet might be to see if Samsung can sell just the strap, I imagine the camera is a sealed unit with the Glass glued on.
You are the first i have heard of that has done this
Somebody in the forum here has pictures of the camera disassembled. Looked pretty easy. You might be able to just take that little piece of glass and have a thin piece of glass or plexi cut to size. Then just glue it into place.
Mine broke the second day i had it
i called samsung and it will cost me $70 to send it to them to repair it
i dont even know how i broke mine - i dont remember even bumping it
Best Buy warranty

Hi everyone,
I got my Z3 compact a week ago and all is good, but I just noticed something weird on the edge of the screen, it's like there's a wire or something popping out in the gap between the screen and the frame. This got me wondering if there might be a problem with the water resistance, what do you guys think?
The device is brand new and didn't suffer from any drops or any weird maneuvers, didn't even been tried in water.
Thanks and have a good day.

looks like a misplaced gasket... try the pressure sensor in test mode, open dialer and digit *#*#7378423#*#*, then service tests and pressure sensor... push oh the screen, if the pressure doesn't change even a little bit, your phone is not waterproof and needs to be sent for repair
p.s. when I say push, I mean apply a reasonable force to the screen, not crack it.. if it really is a misplaced gasket, the pressure will be steady.. if not, you'll notice continuous micro-variations in pressure as you hold the phone in your hand
Actually it rises by 3 or 4 millibars and drops back (to lower value than the original) in two or three seconds.. This means it's intact I guess?

I have the same problem with my z3 compact. But it's on the opposite side where yours have occurred. I don't know how much it would cost to get it fixed but I assume it would be a little expensive because I do think they have to replace the whole front LCD+Digitizer that comes with it's own adhesive.
But I'm not bothered about it at all because even when it was still intact, I said to myself that I would never put or drop this phone on the pool or water. I bought myself a protector just incase I want to take underwater pictures.
yes, it seems so.
But if you've just bought it, I'd return it anyway and buy another
Did it happen just like that or was it there since you bought the phone?
I agree with you, not gonna expose it to water, but still it sucks that you have a water resistant phone and you worry about water.

Thanks, I bought it without Sony's garantie because it costs extra, so I don't think they will exchange it. I'm going to keep it since everything else is fine.

That does not sound right. The manufacturer's warranty should cover defective products. You have to pay extra for that? Mine was repaired under warranty (for a different problem) without paying extra for a warranty.
To me it's seem that the screen is a bit high too on the angle, in mine the glass is parallel or maybe a bit lower compared to the frame, yours seems like the glass is higher compared to the frame, how much is the value of millibar?? 10k+ about??

I'm in France and the system of warranty is terrible , they just cover major dysfunctions of the phone (touchscreen not working, defective camera..), when I asked the store about this today they said it's probably some manufacturer installed tool to help open up the phone in case of repair!! could it actually be this??

Actually that's just the protective tempered glass I installed
The value of pressure was around 1004 since I got the phone, today I found it to be 994 but still responding to pressure. Is this normal?

Oh, I see.
No, that is not something to help open the phone. If it were, they would all have it.
It's only been a week, the store should easily be able to exchange it for you. If not, Sony will.
