[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebas156:
Hi guys,

I got alot of dust (or maybe something else, like fungus) under my camera lens. It's getting worse and worse. At first I didn't see a big difference, but now it's this bad:

White wall:

Random picture of my cat:

As you can see, it has black dots on the screen and it's very 'foggy'.

What do you guys suggest? Send it back to the store and get it fixed? Will this be in my warranty?

Thanks.

Hello.

I just made myself an account after having received tons of help from this site without ever posting already, so please bear with me if I make any mistakes!

I've read and understood the forum rules, and I have also watched the video.

Is there any solution other than taking the phone to a professional? I have the exact same problem, although there are not as many gray spots, and I can also confirm that it is most definitely dust, seeing as the dark spots are constantly moving, appearing and disappearing.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangor gubbins:
I recently received my i9100 back from vodafone after my phone developed the same problem - dust inside the camera lens.

I did have to reset my phone to stock and remove any evidence of using custom ROMs, but the fault was covered by the 2 yr warranty. I handed it to vodafone on a saturday and had my repaired phone back within a week. Thankfully I'd made a complete backup image using the clockworkmod app before i sent the phone away, so it didn't take long to have the phone back exactly as it was before. VillainRom all the way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
if its not on the lens [after you confirm it] why not to open the back cover of the device, clean the lens and put it back?

btw - how dust got into the device anyway??

dust returns

Several months after having my phone repaired the dust is getting back into the lens agin. Its not visible on the photos yet, but I'm sure it will only get worse. Bugger.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
There are two problems on the posted photos: a pink spot, and some dark spots. I assume we are not talking about the pink spot, as it is is a known problem with cameras on several phones...

As regards to the dark spots, the design of the lens cover should prevent any dust from getting in front of the lens - there is a thin foam gasket around the window on the back of the cover, and the camera module is supposed to be pressing firmly against it when the cover is properly installed, sealing off the dust. In case of dust problems like this I would guess something is wrong either with the cover itself (possibly a missing or damaged gasket), or with the way it's assembled. The camera module itself may also be seated the wrong way somehow.

If your phone is taken care of by a service technician, you can't do much about it, other than ask them to pay an extra attention to this gasket (and we all know how professionals usually react to customers telling them what to do, even though, frankly, a customer may be more qualified for the job sometimes). But if you are willing to open up your phone yourself, it should be fairly easy to spot a problem, because the camera module leaves a very clear impression on the gasket...

Dust seems a real problem with the SGS2 camera ...

I also have some dust ... Hoped to find a nice tutorial on how to remove it by oursleves ... sadly I did not find anything
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidrocks89:
I've been facing similar issue simce the past 11 months and warranty has already expired. There's one black spot on the right side of my camera images. I'm trying to live with it. Searched the entire Internet, couldn't find any tutorial to open and clean the camera unit. And without any tut I'm not going to open up my device as I'm scared as ****.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
What you need is not a tutorial for cleaning the camera, but general disassembly instructions. You can definitely find them, either separate, or as part of the S2 service manual. I've got it, but don't have it handy right now, sorry... You don't need to rip your phone apart, just to remove the backplate. It is very easy, nothing to be scared about. Check my earlier msg just a few posts back, make sure you have a good gasket around the lens piece -- if it's damaged or misaligned, the dust WILL get inside.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
I just started having this problem a few weeks ago. One little spec of dust had gotten into the lens of mine. I'm thinking about unscrewing the back of and cleaning it with a glass cloth rather than taking it back to my carrier to get it serviced.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordon.shameway:
Hey guys, i also was facing the problem with dust on the lense and the covering glass having a lot of tiny scratches. Couldn't take a sharp photo anymore, focussing took ages, so camera was kinda useless at all.

I bought a middle chassis at amazon, costs about 12 €. Today i changed the middle chassis and cleaned the camera lense.

Changing the chassis and cleaning took about 20 minutes, doing everything very carefully and using this tutorial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3CDyMY_Xc

So, just wanted to share the results!:laugh:

See attachments for before and after.

Wow! How is your lens so fogged up??

I got mine replaced a few months back (warranty) and there was only a small dust spec.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mr. Monkey:
Even using Go Launcher HD I have a couple moments where the ROM hangs after I hit the Home button. Anyone else get this? I'm tempted to just completely remove the TW launcher. Anyone done it? A list of safe to remove bloatware would be nice, but I haven't seen one yet. I tried uninstalling some of the VZW apps and it caused a boot loop. Scared me, but luckily I had enough time in between reboots to install an app at a time. :)

Anyone removed TW completely?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
You should be able to use any launcher you want with no issues. I wouldn't just simply delete TwLauncher though.

My tf101 rooted and using rom Prime android 3.2 rom before. I would like to update to ICS.

Then I updated my recovery by using rom manager app.

After that my tf101 stuck at EEE page can load into recovery.

I can only hold vol down and power wait for cold boot into my rom. Otherwise the tf101 will only stay at the EEE page.

If press vol down and power . Then press vol up. It will said load recovery image kernal and stay.

Pls help me how can i boot into recovery and properly flash another rom. Tks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nty718:
The problem is it will hold at EEE page.

and only said load kernal recovery image.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aburgthing:
You will need to re-install your software. This will restore your tablet to the .17 software and completely wipe your tablet, all partitions and recovery. You will be able re-root your tablet with Razor Claw on .17 software, then install the updates using OTA Root Keeper to get to the current version.

You can get the NVFlash version of .17 here. I imagine you know how to NVFlash your tablet, if not take the time to read how not too bad really. Just install the Asus drivers to your computer. There are threads that show you how and it's well worth the time to read them.

I tried installing a recovery through ROM Manager while at work with no access to a computer and did the same thing to my tablet. The good news is after completely wiping my tablet installing the stock software, and incrementally upgrading with root, my tablet has never been better and a lot of the little nagging problems have disappeared so it wound up being well worth the time and effort. Just take your time, read the directions for NVFlash and you will be good to go.

P.S. After you sign into your Google account your apps will begin to download again so it's not the wet blanket experience you might expect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Use the recovery installer app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346180&highlight=recovery+installer

See if it lets you install a new recovery, otherwise you may have to reflash your SOS and EBT (bootloader) partitions to fix this.

Cold-booting android (just hold vol-down and wait) should let you get into the OS.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Just to be clear for this somewhat newbie... I'm on Eclipse ROM which is based on .173. When (if?) the ICS is released and I want to go back to stock+root so I can get the OTA this is what I do:

0) Make a backup of Apps+Data with Titanium Backup

1) Download Matt's Razr Utility 1.6 (fastboot .181 included)

2) Turn off my phone.

3) Turn on my phone with Power+Vol Dn+Vol Up all buttons pressed at once. When menu appears scroll down with "vol dn" to "AP Fastboot" and then select by pressing "Vol Up".

4) Plug phone into computer with USB.

5) Run Matt's Util and select option #1 to fastboot to .181 (can I do this even tho I am on a .173 based ROM?)

5a) Will this wipe out Bootstrapper? Will there be a need for bootstrapper or should I wait until after I OTA to ICS?

6) Root with utility

7) Run Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and protect root.

8) OTA

9) Restore Root (with fingers crossed?)

10) restore apps+data with Titanium Backup.

10 steps to a new me?

If you are running a custom rom on GB-Kernel you don't have to restore using that tool. Just flash any GB 2.3.6 stock rom via RSD.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
Well, if thats easier, I was just looking for ease of returning to stock. I'm not sure how to flash a stock rom with rsd. I flashed the Eclipse with bootstrapper and cwm recovery.

Looking at the "stock ROMs" thread here I see only a .748 as the latest stock rom under "fastboot". Would I flash this one?
