Hi,
I was thinking of replacing the camera on my Galaxy S i9000 because it is ... lets say just bad . Is it maybe possible to replace the original camera from the i9000 with any other smartephone camera, maybe the one from the S2 or something similar ? Would this work from a software side ? Are the connecters interchangable ? Somebody with experience can tell me if this would work remotely in any way ?

Could you tell me why ? software or hardware wise?
There just isn't another camera that has the same connections to be an easy swap, then there's camera firmware, and getting the phone to speak to a camera not made for it.
It would be possible for the kind of guy who actually designs the electronics of these phones, not a job for you or I.
Basically, if you want a better camera then you have to buy a better phone. A shame I know because the i9000 is a great little phone.

I9000 compatible with I9001?
Hi. I have a different question. I want to replace my mother's I9001 camera lens with a new one because it's not working properly.
But searching the web I found that the I9000 camera replace is cheaper and more common than the I9001's. So, will the I9000 camera be compatible with my I9001? For the pictures I saw they are slightly different, but some sites sell them as for i9000/i9001.
No :thumbdown:
I bought 9000 camera in phone service and replaced my self, when you turn phone on and open camera app it writes
Could not connect to camera
I returned them and they cleaned my lenses , then after one week i tryed to do same and i now totaly usless camera, on ebay they are 19 $

In my hunt for a better camera I just replaced my camera lens with a new one from ebay ( about 5 €) and I'm very happy with the results.
I think it's clear wich picture is from before and which one from after the swap

Hello everyone, so my Droid 3 Front Facing Camera fails to start, it gives me Unable to Initialize error and crashes instantly. So i decided to replace it (Noting im not living inside the USA, nor do i have my waranty documents) well... Anyhow, i showed my phone to Phone Repair guys here at Lithuania, and they told me that my phone have VGA front facing camera, its cheap and easy to replace, and blah blah, they can do it.... But my question is... WILl IT WORK ? Since Roms use Camera drivers, shouldnt camera be from manufacter, or it will fail to work ? Couse, like i said, Roms use camera drivers and i think they are specific for camera models and stuff? What do you guys think ? I'm afraid they will put cheap chinese camera into my phone, and my poor droid 3, wont support it...
Itll work, phone parts can be replaced lol. Including cameras

Yeah, but arent drivers in kernel or ROM are coded specially for specific type and model of cameras? Like Drivers in kernel for camera that was manufactered by Samsung and if i replace the same specs camera from LG phone, i dont think it will work, couse they have different schemes architecture, or am i mistaken ? To sorten this out, CAMERA DRIVER FOR SAMSUNG PHONE CAMERA, Wont handle LG's phone camera. Am i right ?
Yea your right, thats why you gotta order the part for your phone. You cant order any old camera ofcourse.

I doubt the conector of any other camera fits on the D3 motherboard. Normally these phones have hardware designed specially for them, sharing hardware with only a few others.
Rocking with my M3 and XDA app
It wont. the people repairing will order the correct one, or you cans imply google droid3 front camera replacement, you will find a fixya tutorial and places to order online.

I was tearing down my phone to replace a broken screen, and realized that the camera is a module, that could be replaced.
However, my question was, would it be possible to replace the 3MP camera with say a 8MP samsung s2 of s3 camera? What are the problems you think I would run into, if I do that?

Actually, yes. Its possible, but the camera is going to have to fit the socket. So say, go with the Galaxy W 5MP camera which should fit, then extract all of the camera libraries from a galaxy w ROM and flash them to your phone and it should work.
On the nexus 7 some guy added a back camera and the device didn't have one to begin with.

Hey guys,
I have been in xda since android 2.1 , went to iphone 4s, then back to android with the galaxy note 2, and now the lg flex. My phones always had a mid range camera, but this one is terrible, when indoors and poor lighting. It isn't the noise in the image that bothers me, because i know it's a smartphone.
Yet it starts to lag, as if i am using a 1.2 mp sensor, just when moving the camera around it smudges the view across the screen.. Thing is, switching to video mode seems to make things move in real time.
Is it just me? If not, i wonder the reason for this.. Fraustrated for paying so much for this device...
So... I guess flex support is dead

I had camera issue!
Your screen has alot to do with how it functions according to LG
They replace my whole FLEX with a new phone bc my camera stopped alll together
BASICALLY FLASH BACK TO STOCK
AND CALL LG WARRANTY CENTER AND HAVE A RMA DONE
Prolly not what you wanted to here but on the briteside (New Flex )
Hi Guys
Its being a year with my Z...had lot of problems
But This one is major now,Camera got some weird black spots
Any solution for it?
Regret buying this phone
I've done evrythng...my lens is not scratched...but the ports of usb and earphones are damanged
brother, we're in the same boat.. although you're using Z but it's same as my ZL. Currently i have the same issue as yours but i'll fix it by replacing the camera part..
Now, i'm afraid that the camera would be damaged again, so i use Sony QX-10 as alternative.

The camera you found is not for your exact model but since the G2 variants don't differ that much, especially in the camera, i think it's safe to buy. If it's wrong. it's just 6 dollars

I had the fuzzy and shaked pictures problem too, but I figured that the problem is the magnet of the speaker... The camera has its own magnets to control the lens, but the speaker magnet is very close, so this "interference" causes that the camera dont focuses properly... My fix was put a layer between the camera module and the speaker, and now the camera works like new!
