Thats when i made the obvious and took a look at the back of the phone to see if the camera was dirty.
Well, i sure was surprised!
(that metal ring is just for the smal magnetic objectives.)
What do you think ? is that a Water dmg? Did anything like this happen to anyone before ?
P.S yes i know... there are a lot of black dots... -.- should RMA that thing...

Ya i think it's water.. Have you tested it in water

you mean taking an underwater picture? did few times before, but not when this happened, and not afterwards.

Then water must have leaked into it some how and because of the heat water is getting evaporated. Put it under dhal for a day or teo while al d chaging headset ports are open.

Picture shows that your back glass is clearly lifted. Just a heads up before you wet the phone again.

My cousin had this problem and it is technical and opened to dry (clean)

How long did it take to dissapear? Any way to speed up the process.

Bro ,
First question where did you get that camera ring [metal one] from , and how did you stick it .
Coming to your question , Did u try an hair dryer ? Well, you can try to open it up and wipe it off and stick back in with glue.

That's glued.
For camera lens attachment, about 10$ on eBay.
Hair dried is a bad idea. To much heat is bad for battery. Better to let it stay in a bowl of dry rice.
If you do nothing it takes about 1-3 days to fully disappear.

No but you can test it for us and let us know. Do a 3ft drop, 5ft drop, skid across the pavement to get a good sample.
Not yet and I'm afraid I will some day. I've dropped my Kindle fire multiple times. It's built like a s**the brickhouse with gorilla glass. I like the nexus 7 a lot better but am pretty sure it'll break real easily.
Yep from counter top about 3.5'feet onto face, but I had the things across corner to hold in case so wasn't a flat fall. Nothing wrong, kicking ass and chewing bubble gum.

I dropped mine and the back partially snapped off. I freaked the **** out lol. Snapped it back though, no damage done
This device is build like a tank I wouldn't worry. You can even smash it against the wall and only the back will go flying lose. Best tablet build ever.

[HELP!][URGENT]Screen Not Displaying anything!

Hi guys, I have a problem, my Ace's screen isn't showing anything..
What happened:
Well, I was fine using Lewa..then after a sudden, weird colors came up, so I pulled the Battery and started the phone again..only the soft buttons made light up.
I know this is hardware because:
1. ADB picks up the device ( No errors in LOG)
2. These pictures:

Actual Screen: (Blank only BLN)
I can't take this back to repair, so have any of you encountered this problem and fixed it at home?
===============================================================================================================
Update:
I opened her up, guess what..water, lots and lots of it. And most of the water is around and on the Display adapter.
So I am going to try and clean it with Alcohol and if that fails I'll buy a new screen (Cheap about 20$)
Luckily I have 2 Ace's
Is the recovery working (displaying)?
Edit: i also have an problem like this so i had flashed the rom via odin.
Now its working fine..
No, it's hardware...i'll update the OP to show you why. And no it doesn't nothing does.

Ohh i see..
But how comes the water there?
In the actual meaning that the phone is totally packed only charger socket and headphone socket is opened..
It's not water it's moist..from the air. And no everything.

Don't try washing with alcohol unless you are sure...! You might get into a bigger trouble ! Just connect your phone to the charger & let it heat up. The moisture flies off by itself.
I used to have beautiful life before. Now I'm in engineering...!

No, no. It left a residue, and yes alcohol will work. I have been using it for about 2 months now with the residue on.

Got the same case... But not this problem. Anyway try to make it larger with a nail or some sort of bit for making holes (english is not my native).
Yeah, I don't have the issue either and I have 3 of these cases I use. You sure you have an authentic spigen?

Camera problem..

Hello everyone.
I got my phone 6 months now,my camera was good as far as I noticed.But this summer I went to camp on the beach and after I came back I noticed that the pictures I took with my phone doesnt look well,I cleaned the lens more than onces.but no result.
I must say,that I swimed with my phone and maybe be went for more than 1m underwater.So maybe the pressure causes the problem ?
If anyone has similar problem or know what exacly the problem is please let me know.
Here are some pictures taken with my phone after the problem.

Thank you and have a good day !
??Holy haze Batman! That looks like a turtle dove crapped on your camera lens!
But in all seriousness, if you were at the beach, chance are that your lense is scuffed from being in your pocket or what not while there was sand in there. It happened to my wife. Sand is massively pervasive. It gets everywhere and fast.
Think about it. When you got back from the beach. Did not 10lbs of sand fall from your but crack in the shower?
Also, if it was a ocean beach, the salt in the air can get behind the lense and cause this. Though, I don't believe that is a common occurrence.

LOL,thanks for your reply mate.
Yeah,I guess you're right with the salt thing.I were there for 20 days which quit enough.
Since,I think I found what the problem is,what about the solution ?
Should I open it and clean the lens. If this is the case,any advances how to do so ? Because I have never open it before and I dont want to mess it up of course.

Smidge on camera lens. How to fix this?

Hello all,
I just noticed a dark spot when I'm taking a picture. First I thought the lens was just dirty but after cleaning it is still there.
Anybody experienced something like this? And more importantly how to fix this.
Sadly, I have no warranty so I cant send it to Sony.
You can change the lens, which means changing the back cover, which means you'll loose waterproofness if Sony doesn't do it.
The lens is plastic and can't be fixed, you can also remove this plastic lens with a needle apparently and continue using the camera, though this will also compromise the waterproofing.
This has been discussed in another thread if you want more details.

Yeah i've seen the other threads but those where more spots in the lens. I naively hoped that my situation was different. Oh well there goes the waterproof part.

You can buy some third party stickers to glue the back cover to the phone. They look like this:

}
I'll also glue mine with silicone gel along with said sticker when the time comes.

Oh wow never heard of that. Thnx for the tip!
This is unbelievable, I changed the whole backcover and the smidge is still there see http://imgur.com/XbUDQsA
Edit: I opened the phone again and took a picture without the back cover and it appears that the actual camera lens is causing the smidge.
