Hi.
My Mother in Law has just bought an S4 Active and it had a problem. When using the front camera it has a bubble effect that we can't turn off. This can be Serb here http://imgur.com/a/wbw0v
Anyone got any ideas? There is a screen protector but it doesn't cover the camera. Glass is clean.
Any help much appreciated.

I just noticed that there's dust under the screen and front facing camera. I just put the phone in my pocket, never happened before with any of my other phones. Anyone else have this happen?

I remember at least someone else reporting this. Would be ashame if that's a common problem. I have a little bit of dust between the edge of the display and the cover. Maybe something like case mate barely there + screen protector could help if this protector was big enough...

Hi guys
My front facing camera always looks very fuzzy and I suspect its bcos my screen protector is covering it. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and/or knows how to cut a hole in the screen protector specially for the camera?
Thanks in advance

woot~ maybe look for one with the hole already? I bought it that way for like 5 dlls at a local store, it has the hole for camera and another one like "L" for the sensors
I already checked if a clear screen protector interrupts the front camera and the answer is no. But I found out that a mirror/matte screen protector really interrupts the front camera..
You can find on ebay many good screen protectors for a few dollars.
Thks gonna go search for it now

Actl you don't need one...the gorilla glass is holding out well for me since I removed the screen protector few weeks ago. Everything on the screen seems much crisper too

Oh actually gorilla glass is quite weak against sand and coins, anyway I got the matte one but had to cut out the hole for the camera myself. ..

There has been a lot of talk about protecting the screen which is understandable but my biggest issue is the camera lens. Just noticed that my camera lens is all scratched up. Used camera and seems okay but for how long?
Having the camera on the outside of the wrist subjects it to a lot of abuse. At least it appears that way in my case. For example, having my arms on the desk while using my phone, the lens is rubbing against the desk or pushing the car door open with my forearm, it hits the lens.
Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with this. I don't use the camera on it very much so it isn't a huge deal but I don't see this lens staying intact for the long hull.
Perhaps my biggest issue is that I wear it on my left wrist and left handed. So when I write, which I do a lot for work, it is again in contact with the desk or whatever.

Me too, however I'll probably cut out a screen protector to go over the lens, I would say I will need a wet screen protector (zagg or similar)

I just checked my camera lens and it's fine. I did remove the cover recently though as didn't like the look of it. Never worried about protecting camera lens on phone so never thought of with watch. Would've though phone lens would be more susceptible to scratches, but it looks fine. The watch lens is built a fair way into the strap on mine
Going to try to a single hole puncher with clear packing tape. This should fit pretty close.

Hole puncher was to small. Maybe if there is a bigger option. The one I had was 1/4 inch. I ended up cutting a circle out of an extra screen protector and using it. Pictures are crystal clear.

I think a regular spare should work since it isn't curved

I also added a rubber protector.
This shield also acts as a thermal insulator to guard against condensation, as has been reported elsewhere.

Hey guys,
I did a search but haven't found any specific reference to this problem so hopefully someone can help.
I've noticed when I'm finishing a call on my nexus 6 and I take it away from my face, the screen doesn't turn back on and it won't respond to the hardware buttons. I have to wait till the other person hangs up before my screen comes back on. Its intermittent but it's really annoying. Anyone else noticed this problem?

Are u using any screen protector? it might cause some issue, u might need to cut off the part that covers the ambient sensor
Hey, I am using a screen protector, the toughened glass ones but I've disabled the ambient mode anyway. The sensor itself is unhindered and it'll work sometimes but it's just failing too often and it's getting really annoying.

Is the protector I bet

Yeah mine is doing this too. It's annoying as hell. Does anyone have suggestions and how to cut off that part of the screen protector safely to expose the sensors?
It's possible indeed. Gonna order another protector before I peel this off and test. Positioning them on the Nexus 6 is a bit of a pain with the rounded edges on the glass.

Hi Folks.
I am using now the rooted and unlocked stock software 5.0.2 and because of a protecting glass is my proxi sensor always on. So if somebody calls me or if i calling someone the screen gets off.
Do you know how to re-calibrate the sensor? Or any other solution?
Thanks

Maybe use another protector, or maybe the sensor is broken?
I don't have this issue and I have two layers of protection. (1 OEM from Sony, and 1 transparent attached myself).
Sensor i have tested. All ok. And i have not as protection a foil, but a tempered glass

My solution.
I had the same issue. If i can upload the photo you will understand. The glass must have a cut on the left oft the light sensor,about 1cm in vertical for not obstruction of the proximity sensor.I have the cristal from china by ebay.
