[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Ramsey:
I found the rubber suction for a 1$ at the dollar store. Came with 6 small ones lol.

I successfully removed the protector glass and found some double sided tape at home. Looks good now.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] sic-ever:
Guys, unless my eyes deceive me, Samsung WB30F camera has the same optics as S4 Zoom and it doesn't have any glass/pcv protection. Take a look:

[IMG="WB30F"]http://www.ephotozine.com/articles/samsung-wb30f-review-21816/images/highres-samsung-wb30f-7_1367241500.jpg[/IMG]

So, if we invest some money in good case, there shouldn't be any problem to remove this piece of glass. Therefore we will be able to clean up optics without any problems in case of dust appears, just like we doing it in classic compact cameras. What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] rocky450:
I think the plastic that is supposed to "protect" the lens is useless.Without it the lens will not get damaged .
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] kakawo:
guys.... its a crap.... i love my phone - this phone... but now, the camera is totally useless for me.... dust contamination is so bad that i have black dots on photos, and yes i have remove the "protection" and also reattach it after, clean the lens, but the problem is, design of the whole lens, i have dust INSIDE, not on lens under protection glass.... i was in samsung shop, and they said, only solution is to replace the whole lens for a new one, and the price is TWICE of the price of phone itself.... i have warranty, but if the repair costs more than the price of device, they are not going to do it.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] genus:
you are right, any optic lens are tend to get "dust" into it due to all lens need to "breath" during zoom in zoom out..

the best way is protect your camera with len cover casing from dust.

my s4 zoom glass also entered lot of dust which cannot be clean up ---> unless you are able to disassemble the len

Lens Problem

Hello, I have the same problem in my SM-C101. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] sethxp:
you must disassemble phone, take complete camera module out, disassemble it also and clean from inside. Not easy job and sure warranty void.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Dariocervantes:
Thanks

Hello, im not good in disassembling so can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks Alot again
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] genus:
Yes, you are right, usually I not recommend to disassemble whole camera len, it is hard to put it back, especially some critical part: auto focus mini motor.

If you see dust in your photo, mostly the dust is on camera sensor. Dust on len will not be so much effect on your photo, but dust on len will be!

In your second photo, we can access the camera len by removing the black circle tape (it is removable), but be careful, need to be done slowly, remove it we will saw the camera sensor & focusing len, usually dust is on sensor and the focus len :cool: Then.. clean it.

Attached is photo of disassembled s4 zoom: inside camera len (left you can see the focus len which can move up & down control by motor, under it is sensor, right is shutter small hole, and is full of dust!), camera len back view (sensor expose after removing the piece of stainless steel), zoom ring (idesign is simple, sensor on side to detect moving black/bright), outer cover, inner cover..

There is two motor, one is focus motor (small), one is zooming motor (large), beware for the tiny cable join of them! My advise is..don't open the camera len as it is too sensitive.. it something go wrong.. your camera will not function, advisable only remove the sensor at back clean it.

JUST in case.. if your camera len damage..(sure no warranty covered) you still can buy it on china web -taobao, there is seller, some may recon one, but still in function.

My comment: s4 zoom is not easy to disassemble..compare to other galaxy model, maybe K zoom is much more easier..maybe, but not tried yet ;p
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] jack5d:
hello guys, congratulations for technical explanations, highly detailed !! between not much could get me repaired my s4 zoom from samsung service center, if you will reform the dust, I'll try again to remove the only glass that covers the lens, but on the internet I can not find anywhere where you can buy the mini suction cup to remove that glass ... where can I buy it? I have already tried in hardware and even in a store aquarium ...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] claptnei:
Hello, I don't know if this helps:-

I had dust in the lens and got the small sucker from a previous phone screen repair kit with various other small tools.

I fixed this but noticed there was still marks on photos when at full zoom. Tried a tip I found on YouTube where you us a vacuum cleaner to suck round the lens. I did it carefully with the lens in and at full zoom. This actually worked and removed the dust from inside the back of the lens and sensor. My photos are now dust free again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] genus:
can you show us some photo how you did it?

I got try with vacuum suck.. but still not work...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] jack5d:
in fact it would be great to know where to buy the vacuum cleaner and the mini suction cup on eBay I have not found anything ... advice ??
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] claptnei:
I used this kit of standard phone screen tools that I got many years ago, first removing the front lens screen by the heating hair dryer method.

If you do it carefully, the seal stays on the glass and can re reused when you have cleaned the lens.

I used the standard end of a vacuum cleaner which it roughly the same size as the extended lens, not a mini end like the one in the following video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc0_FTKyYgA

I then refitted the front glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] genus:
Yes, i did almost the way like that, but it only work for movable dust inside.. some already stick in it.. esp. dust on sensor :(

even I dissamble the len, blow it also not work, only wipe can move it, maybe moisture cause the dust stick on the len:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] claptnei:
Agreed. I got moisture on my Canon 500D when doing some astrophotography. Had to clean the sensor, but it's easier on a dslr camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] genus:
Yup, the best way is open the len to clean it, but s4 zoom is complicate to disassemble, which I think if compare to K zoom, which may easier much more.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Prostheta:
What I would like to know is, what recourse do we have under the warranty? Mine has dust under the cover after three months and we're looking at 2-4 weeks to send it to a service centre to be cleaned. That's 1/3-1/6 of the lifetime of the phone to clean it with no guarantee the problem will not return. Frankly, I don't want to be voiding my warranty to fix an issue that should not exist in the first place, plus I should not have to accept a design flaw as part of "the phone's general use".
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] aakashasaj:
I don't think they will cover this thing under warranty, but still you should ask on service center, if they don't entertaine you try to ask them any other/manual way to clean it.

And i don't think opening the lense glass will void your warranty they will never come to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Prostheta:
The laws in your country vary of course. Here it is likely that I have recourse as the product is expected to have reasonable durability. If it does not, as a consumer I should be able to reject it. I'm more familiar with UK trading standards law than Finland, but being EU they are broadly similar. I'll let everybody know what comes of this of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] allanten6:
hairdryer

Hairdryer worked for me, used a stanley knife to get the cover up , must admit I was sweating abit while preforming this operation.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Prostheta:
As previously mentioned, I have been very unhappy with my S4 Zoom. After the first warranty repair for cleaning the lens, the "care" centre returned it with a new lens mechanism in the wrong colour plus a battery retention clip which was loose. I presume that this was something integral to disassembly for the repair. The spring was loose, flew out and the clip only retained when manually closed with the battery in. Annoying.

So anyway. This is how it was returned. Two months later after the "new" lens mechanism - which was supposed to prevent dust ingress - was fitted, lo and behold another dusty lens. This time I sent it back in under the warranty citing that I am rejecting the product on the basis of it being a faulty design which undermines the fundamental usage of the device.

I wrote this in this thread purely because of the relevance where it comes to cleaning. I opted to maintain my warranty by not removing the plastic lens cover, as otherwise I would have no consumer rights on rejected a product which in intrinsically flawed from the design. I'd advise anybody considering this cleaning method as an option to do so bearing in mind the value of their warranty, and hence their consumer rights.

Otherwise, a mint tutorial! If anybody is a little concerned about blowing hot air onto their device, you can always make an aluminium foil heat shield (shiny side out). Total overkill, however.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] blkcldhrt:
Hi there

you can get rid of the black spots by disassembly your phone, get the camera out, then on the back of the camera you will see a round black adhesive, you will have to remove it but bot damage it because you will stick it back after you finish, after you remove the adhesive you will see 3 screws after you unscrew them you will be able to remove the camera sensor along with the cable flex , now you will need a very fine brush to clean the sensor, put evrerything back together and``voila`` no black spots.

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] snowlorelei:

i guess they're not all plastic?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] wltrae:

so i cleaned everithing (disarmed) and the mechanism works good(took me some hours to put together, now i can do it blinded btw)! but whenever i try to access the camera with any app the servo only "closes" the camera.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abu_kaf:
Hi everyone, hope i'm not repeating the question...

i had the note 10.1 for a year, perfect tab, i even use it as my daily phone, it was rooted and worked perfectly

i had a lot of ads so i tried blocking them, didn't work so thought about formatting... i use triangle away to reset counters (reset to 1) and i used ODIN 3.09 to flash stock rom (related to my country EGY, although i think the note was from KSA... does that make a difference?)

anyway flash finished perfectly but since then and the note only bootloops... startup page GALAXY NOTE 10.1 changed to a noisy screen capture of the download mode (not clear image just a noisy cheap copy of the download mode screen)... and the animation SAMSUNG works normally then resets...

i tried another firmware (from samfirmware as well, related to UAE this time) still same issue...

i can only get it to download mode, if i press the other keys combination to clear user data or cache it does the same bootlooping...

any ideas??!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkretch:
What model note is it and what is the exact file firmware that you are flashing.

I have seen others having the same issue with higher build numbers of odin... have you tried trusty odin 1.85
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abu_kaf:
i rooted it, and it worked

and working fine

all the propblem now is that it no longer has the welcome log "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000"... it shows a noisy screen capture of download mode screen...

any answers??!!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abu_kaf:
Excuse me but i really need help... the note 10.1 now works fine except for the following...

- boot image "Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 n8000 (black screen white text)" turned into a total messed up image

- PC doesn't detect the note as a media device anymore (but detects download mode normally)

- USB OTG doesn't work, although it worked perfectly before all that...

Please i flashed all available stock and custom roms, i have no backups to restore... i only want it to go back to it's factory shape again fully operational!

(Specs taken from DisplayMate's review of the screens. I am not allowed to post links.)

Ipad Air weighs 1 pound with a screen area of 45.16 square inches. That's .0221 pounds per square inch.

Kindle fire HDX 8.9 weighs .825 pounds with a screen area of 35.6 inches. That's .0232 pounds per square inch.

The Kindle is no lighter than the Ipad Air, just a little smaller. The real question is why the other android tablets are still so heavy.

What is a good price to buy a used Nexus 7 (2013)? Someone offered to sell me the 32 gb version for $200. He says it's like new condition. Is this a good deal? If I buy it new at the store with tax it would be about $290, so I'd save some money, but I'm a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to return it to the store if something goes wrong.

Well, I went ahead and did it. $200 for the 32 gb model. I'm in Canada and we don't have as good of sales here, the cheapest I saw it new was $250 + tax, so around $290 (it's usually $280 + tax). Seems to be in good condition so I'm pretty happy with the purchase so far. I even got a nice case with it, so that's a nice bonus. Anyways, consider this my introduction to the Nexus 7 (2013) sub-forum.
