I broke the glass that covers the back phone. After that, the comers could no longer focus.
I thought replacing the glass cover would fix the problem. I got a new cover but the camera still won't focus. The view is blurry.
Any idea what might be wrong or how to fix it?

I think the camera module itself may have been accidentally adjusted when you were replacing the glass. The internal lens of the camera module should be "rotatable" to a certain extent then glued to position from the factory. The auto-focus would then do the fine-tuning.

Somehow I cracked the glass/plastic lens cover on my camera.
Anyone know if there's a way to fix this, or replace it? It's not the actual lens is it?
I have minor screen lift and light leakage that I could probably replace it on warranty if I need to. I'm on day 29, so I've got to decide today what I'm going to do.
Thanks for any help/advice.
its not the lens. if its broke, get a new one, you have a legitimate reason not to mention that screen lift is gonna get worse.
I dropped the phone and broke the back camera glass cover. I ordered the part online.. but after a few days, a black spot appeared on my lens (if you open the camera app). Initially, I thought it was a dust or something but after the replacement glass came in, I tried to clean it but it won't come off.. so, now I'm thinking it's a scratch. So... it looks like I need to replace the camera. Has anyone else done it? I want to... but, I don't to bother if a replacement won't be the original quality.

It's not that I don't know how... I've watched tutorials. Quality is the issue.
Hi, I just noticed the glass over my camera lens or whatever it is is scratched. I've been searching for replacement parts but everywhere i see, there's only full housing/backplate sold in the net..Some of it doesn't even come with the glass thingy.
May I know whether I can find it anywhere?
Thanks.

i think it´s attached to the lens and sensor, so you must replace the whole camera part. no warranty if it´s not attached because i don´t know it exactly

At around 2:12 , you'll see the glass is not attached to the sensor. It is with the backplate. Problem is I can't find anyone selling just that piece of plastic/glass..

So the camera lens for my G3 broke. I didn't drop it or anything, it just broke. I bought a replacement part just for the lens cover. When I was trying to take apart the lens, I noticed that it has a seal on the top that keeps the lens cover connected. Can i take off the cover or will there be problems because of the seal? I've attached a link so you guys know which part I'm talking about.

Are you trying to take the glass out of that piece you linked to, and attach it to the one on your phone? It seems it would be easier to replace the entire piece rather than just the glass.
If not, I suspect the seal is designed to hold the glass in place and prevent dust from getting inside the assembly. As long as you make sure the new glass piece is sealed somehow (glue?), it will probably be OK. But I've never done this, so to some extent I'm guessing.
Update?

Hi - what was the outcome for this? The same thing has happened to my phone and I see that part you linked. Could you explain whether you installed the part and whether your problem was because you were trying to separate just the glass from the part or whether you had trouble with just removing and then installing that new part. Some pics to help us out?
Thanks.
I ordered my Nexus 5X from bhphotovideo, shipping to Mexico. Sadly, I got a defective camera and bhphotovideo doesn't want to comply with customs here in Mexico so if I exchange my item I'll have to pay import taxes again (about 147 usd(even with this the phone was cheaper than buying it here in Mexico)).
I think the best option for me would be to replace the camera (it looks really easy) but I haven't been able to find a replacement camera module at a decent price.
Do you guys know a page where I could buy this? Or does someone knows when they might become available?
contact Google for a replacement/repair. they are usually better at customer service than LG. Ultimately call LG for a repair quote. It shouldn't be much.
what's wrong with it?

I think I'll try LG since they have offices here in Mexico, let's hope they help even though it was bought in the us
mate that looks more like dust between the lens and the back cover... i've seen this happen in a dslr where dust goes between the lens and the image sensor
if LG fails to repair your device (i say they will fix it) then you can always open it to clear the dust out.

I think that the spot might be in the sensor itself but it is worth a try
Will removing the back cover void the warranty?
Well I tried opening an though I couldn't remove the black spot it moved to another place... so I'm guessing it some dust really really stuck to the inner lens?
Any ideas of what I can use to clean it?

they sell cans that contain compressed air.. specially used for electronics.. you could try that if there's any opening around the lens.. but i doubt there will be any opening. to prevent dust going in, in the first place.

here's what it looks like
the first thing i'd do is try to figure out where the dust is sitting. most likely its just between the lens and the back cover lens which would make it really easy to fix
Today while sleeping I dropped my pillow on the charger of the nexus... and it fell to the floor
When I used the camera again the spot was gone and the camera is now working correctly D:
I got lucky I guess <3
