cracked camera lens

Yesterday, I found a tiny crack on my back camera lens, no idea when and how the crack occured. Any ideas to deal with the cracked camera lens without replacing a new one?

[Q] Dust (or something) Inside Rear Camera Sensor

I recently bought a Nexus 6 on Swappa, and for the first couple of days didn't notice anything at all wrong. Now today I went to take a picture and there was a very out of focus black smudge on my pictures. Ok, no big deal. Wipe off the rear lens, still there. Uh oh. It wasn't there at first, or at least I didn't notice it. I figured I bought it second-hand so the Moto warranty is null and void anyways. So I peeled my back cover up and lifted the lens off the camera sensor. Then I gently cleaned the lens on the sensor. Powered the phone back on, the spot is still there.
So evidently some little speck of crap has managed to make its way inside of the camera sensor, or a pixel on the sensor died. Not sure what it would look like. This just looks like an out of focus black speck. So I guess I'm going to be replacing it myself. Anyone know of any parts sources other than eTradeSupply? They're currently out of stock of the rear camera sensor. I can live with $25. There is another site that wants $90, but that seems a little steep.

Xperia Z3 dual D6633 camera issue

I bought my Xperia Z3 dual last september 2014. athe camera worked perfectluy fine but after a few months I have encounter problems with the camera. By february 2015, the rear camera appears to have some spots on it. And dust inside the camera is veri visible. That time, it was still under warranty with my local provider so I had to bring it to the service center and they said that they have to change the whole back part of the unit. It was under warranty so I did not have to pay a single penny. But now, I have noticed again that there's, again, a spot in the camera. And so sad, again I can see visible dust inside the camera. While I used the unit, I make sure that all ports are tightly closed. Howcome a water and dust resistant phone will develop dust and spots within the camera lens.
note: Only once I have used the unit under water, and that was before the initial camera issues developed w/c was on december 2014. The void paper/piece of paper inside the sim ports are still intact and no change of color.
my question is, is there any chance that sony will attend to this issue with their product?
or should I be the one to shoulder the costs of the repair?
thanks.

camera blurry after update to android 9

Hi, I just updated my note 9 to android 9 and my camera is not too good. Lights are very blurry. Does anyone else had the some problem? Have a look on annex, I attached some pictures

Have you tried cleaning the camera lens?

Yes, I have. I got that issue long time ago when I was on sunny holidays and tel was very hot. Next day all was good. Now phone is normal temp and this show up after update to android 9

You know, that really looks like a dirty/greasy or scratched-up lens to me. It's either that, or it could be moisture under the glass. Double-check with a magnifying glass if you need to.
Do also contact Samsung support about this. I'm sure they have some thoughts.

Definitely not normal. I agree it looks like a dirty or scratched up camera lens. Do you happen to have one of those tempered glass protectors on the lens?
You can always test it by downloading a third party camera app like GCam or Open Camera. If they produce blurry pics, then you have some sort of hardware issue.

Question Pixel 7’s Camera Glass Keeps Breaking

Multiple sites have reported on this. Just curious if anyone here has had it happen. I've had my P7 since launch, and looking closely at the camera glass, it all looks good. I live in the south, and this seems to have just started, and some are saying it the weather change, or maybe a new batch that went out with a defect.
Pixel 7’s Camera Glass Keeps Breaking
It took a few months before we got to this point, but Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro may have found their first big issue. A growing number of people are experiencing a spontaneous break in the glass that covers their cameras. The first reports of this date back to early December and have...

Apparently that's a problem and Google is aware of it. Don't know what the solution might be.

Looking at multiple photos of the glass being broken really is confusing. They are breaking in the middle of the camera lens. If it was stress breaking it from heat change I would think it would crack around the edge by the frame, not directly over the lens. It almost looks like a bad batch that put the camera lenses too close to the glass somehow. Just my guess.

Yeah, it's something in the manufacturing process that screwed up it seems. A big problem though is that even though they will gladly replace the device it will be a refurb and that seems unfair after paying for a new phone. But we'll see what they do. I can't see them sending out new devices though.

I have a case...problem solved...

Just got mine. So no issues yet with the glass

It's just a coincidence that allot of people are rough with there phones and then complain when the glass breaks to try get a refund, glass just will not spontaneously shatter like.
