OK I have searched the forums here to no end, watched the videos about the procedures to do so, and the links to buy one, But I still don't see any indication that this mod is for a dual camera setup! Meaning I see in the vid's of people pulling out the old one [camera] and replacing it with the other one for FFC capabilities! Period!
So is there no way to acquire and install a dual camera setup on the T959 Galaxy Vibrant? Asking because the need to take pictures from the back is just as important as to snap photos from the Forward position, and to just have ONLY a FFC camera will seriously hamper the ability to snap pics when in say a crash or freight claim etc! The Nexus S phone has this setup, so can the dual hardware be installed on the Galaxy from that phone and then the proper driver/ROM to support it? Or are they two completely different hardware interfaces? [Connection wise I'm asking] Or should I just ask if I completely overlooked this scenario and the MOD, And it is for dual cameras?
The mod appears to me for just changing the position from back to front, period! NO DUAL capabilities! If I missed finding the thread for this question, many apologies to the forum!
You must be confused, the FFC mod definitely still retains the back camera. Only issue you get with the back camera is banding in low light situations.
You must be on drugs, blind, or 12. Either way if you watch the video the guy uses both cameras. Also if you look at the camera its both cameras in one piece.

The new FFC camera contains both cameras. One faces still out the back, and other out the front. The front one is very small compared to the rear.
It's an all in one unit. I have one that I still need to actually put into my phone. I can take pics and show you....
ALSO... geez guys, you can be so very hard on people. He was mistaken or just didn't really look or read. This flaming is one thing that makes it hard for people to get the guts to even post if they are new here. Take it easy on the guy. He's new....
Appreciate The 2 Worthy Replys

You know I might be going blind as my eyesight after 57 years is getting kinda bad, However to say such an arrogant, rude ass remark, is just plain immature, and truly shows what a POS asshole you really are, and to think your in a grown body with the maturity of a 12 YO is pathetic on your part! And I suppose you gave 22 years of service to your country in Corp like I did? I seriously doubt it!
So look who's calling the kettle black here! Dickweed! Oh and BTW if you don't have anything positive or helpful to say, then why did you reply at all? MIHO!
Anyway many thanks to eminembdg and thegreatcity for their helpful insight to answering and clarifying my questions, I now have the data I need to proceed with this MOD and knowing I'm not assuming anything that would've led to failure and disappointment! Oh and BTW eminembdg is right, its people like I just pointed out, that makes us newbies afraid to ask a question especially after I did do my due diligence, and I never saw them mention once or saw where they had left the back camera in, and they didn't mention that it was a dual camera setup replacement, and if they did, then I simply made a mistake and didn't pick up on it! OMG what a sin on my part subzerold! U must be perfect at 12 yo and know everything! must be lonely being perfect!
Anyway Moderators please consider this thread resolved and closed as I got my info from the two contributors who have respect for us inexperienced modders who try hard to elevate their knowledge here from people who do know and are pleasant to deal with!
glad you got your answer, and that I could of been of assistance. You could press the thanks button on my post?
Good luck on your mod, I'll be doing mine probably on Tuesday when I'm off from work. Should turn out fine as it is a pretty easy mod as I've seen and read.
Hope this bad experiance with posting doesn't stop you from being part of the Android community.
Dude you need to calm down, even if you were my best friend i would call you those things if you told me you just watched a video and didn't see something. I wasn't being disrespectful and I answered your question. If i wanted to be an asshole i would have just called you a dumb ass for asking such a dumb ****ing question! Who in the world would replace their 8mp rear camera just to have a vga front facing camera? What kind of dumb ass can't read the forums and find out that the only issue with installing a ffc is the banding in the REAR CAMERA in low light situations. If I was an asshole like some of the people on these forums my comments would have been something similar to those. But i didn't i was just trying to be funny grumpy ass old man.
Subzerold, the thing is he's NOT your bestfriend, THAT'S why you can't call him those things. You're supposed to respect strangers. Seriously.
Looking at the picture at the link below. It seems the chrome ring around the cameras is flaking off. Has anyone else seen this in any other of the pictures?

It's a reflection. Don't you think "cheap build quality" would have been shouted from the roof tops by now? Honestly, with a picture that small, you can't judge anything but the shape of the phone. Email PPCGeeks to investigate the original photo about your concerns instead of complaining to us. When they post an article that a sharp eyed reader brought to their attention, tell us all about it.
Unbelievable.... Ask a simple question and get shouted down. I have been on this forum for years. Now EVERYTIME I post anything... I get responses like this.... Unbelievable. This is why I don't post much here.

Neither are the responses. It looked like the chrome was flaking off...wondering if it was, or if anyone else had anything to add. Btw, I sent a message to the writer of the Engadget article the picture was from, waiting for a reply.

Wow, you are a winner. Go sing kumbaya around a campfire in your secret place and get your energies to flow properly.
Maybe some of that new age crap will make you feel better until another person suggests a proactive approach to get results instead of whine.
Regardless whether or not the chrome is flaking off (which it does look like flaked off chrome). It has been said once from the sprint chick with the hands on video that they were recessing the cameras further into the phone so they don't get scratched up as much.
I hope this is true.

For having my mom die two days before that post, I thought I was rather calm and not snarky.
Wouldn't it be nice for people to just ask the source instead of rumor-monger though? Hence my suggestion to ask the person that took the picture instead of asking the site about a photo that is most likely 1/10 the original... Not to mention hold the phone in his hands.
I think what we are seeing in the picture is the protective plastic is still on the camera, I noticed it too when I saw the pic a while back. Early shots of the Evo Shift appeared to have a similar thing going on.
SO........why are people still commenting on this?
(Ignore the fact that I commented )

Because people would like a camera that isn't going to flake off because it's pushed out so much farther than the actual back of the phone.
Plastic adhesive on the camera is still in place and its been scuffed up.Thats what we're seeing.
I'm getting a case on it anyways
So I noticed that on my Photon screen there were two streaks which can be seen in the picture. One streak is much bigger then the other. I know the picture is pretty bad, did it on purpose so that the mystery smudges could be soon.
The weird part is that when I wipe the screen with the micro fiber cloth the screen looks brand new no smudges but it seems for some reason those two spots keep coming back as the screen gets used. Anyone have any thoughts? I have never spilled anything on the phone and I do not work in an abrasive environment. I have tried screen cleaner as well still no luck.
I wounder if sprint would fix this with TPE as wear and tear? Somehow I doubt they will though.
hmmm, well since i work at a sprint repair center, i'll just give you my personal opinion, if you brought to me, i would say it's either physically cracked or liquid damage of some kind, but i would have someone else confirm it, but, just take it to your local repair center and keep your fingers crossed it's covered if not, hey, a deductible for an insurance claim is still a lot cheaper $600
I had an issue similar to this with my evo 4g. I took it to the sprint store store and they replaced it the screen. They said it was pressure points on the screen. I have a thread posted on the evo 4g forums general section, cause just like you i was wondering if anyone knew what was wrong with. Must people said water damage...but i take good care of phones and never put them near any liquids.
So when u get a chance, search the evo 4g general forum...check out the pics of my screen and see if they're similar.

not sure if i agree so much with the liquid damage (but obviously it's difficult to know because it's a picture). It seems as if it is a pressure point like it was in your pocket. me being a tech i have no access to photon screens at all. so depending on how smart the tech you speak to is, it could go either through TEP or he/she would just swap it out.

Touche my friend lol
I just got this phone from a friend, the black spot in the bottom right corner was there but I didn't think it was going to be a big deal. It seems to be heat sensitive, not tested, just something I noticed. When its really warm the black spots are almost completely gone and in the cold they get bigger. The one on the left side developed over night.
Any thoughts? Is there anything I can do to get rid of them?
Thanks!

Sorry, it wont let me post outside links yet
Does the screen issue cause your phone to post in the wrong section?
Seems like a 'general' question to me, didn't see a 'repair' section.
sorry

Exactly. It's a question. That's what the Q in the Q&A section stands for.
Yeah my bad. Maybe I should have made it an open statement in here.
Like I said, my bad.
Don't let Uncle Lizard get to you. He's a self-proclaimed mod in training.
As for your screen issue, you could take it for repair as it sounds hardware related.
Maybe a little grumpy this morning. Better now that I have it out of my system.
That's it, not much else to add...anyone knows/heard anything on this, an update would be grand. I've not been able to dig up
nor waterboard anyone on this topic! Lol (ty)
p.s. I'm aware that many patrons of our Pixel 6 series are still plagued with ongoing issues, but a friend inside said that's not necessarily it (the cause for delay)?
No idea. Sadly no communication from Google as well apart from "coming soon" since beta 1.
GSI is showing in "DSU Loader" but we are not able to boot into that.
I am pretty disappointed with how the updates are being handled for p6 series.
I am having a Samsung kind of experience, w.r.t. software updates, after buying p6

Every OLED panel I've ever had has had green tint in a dark room with dark mode.
People really need to stop going and looking for issues. If you have to tell someone how to look for it, it's not an issue.
What is the purpose of starting this thread when there is already a thread on this subject?
Just curious, because I try to read all threads in the Pixel 6. And it gets annoying with this type of nonsense.
Seaching and reading benefits everyone.
Would you be signing up for android 12L beta? Why?
Given android 12L beta 1 is due in few days would you be giving it a try on your P6? What would be your main reason for this? For me: Dynamic color on boot animation :P May be better dynamic color on UI. Just like to stay on top of updates :D

My $1099 12 Pro Max has a green tint if I put in the exact conditions you describe. So does my Pixel 3 XL. The only *OLED device I've ever had that I'm certain didn't have it was my Samsung Captivate.
My point is that I'm sick and tired of seeing people tell people to go look for issues. If they didn't see it before, it wasn't an issue until you made it one.

It doesn't matter if I have one or not, I'm going to call out stupid BS when I see it. Having people check for insignificant issues they didn't even know about just makes people who were previously happy with their purchase unhappy because once you see something, you can never unsee it. People need to stop spoiling other people's happiness. Like this thread wasn't even started about the "defects" of the device, they were brought up to someone who just finished saying they were happy with their device! It's ridiculous.

Ruining people's happiness lol. Grow up dude. If there's an issue with my device I didn't know about, I sure as hell would like to know about it, whether it affects me or not. If the problems don't bother you that's great, kick rocks. But people should and have the right to know that these issues are prevalent and widespread. If they aren't affected or choose not to care, that's great. But at least they have the information. Your argument is weak sauce
