I just recently saw this black dot when I take pictures. It moves only when I zoom in and out. I've wiped the lens areas and it doesn't go away. The dot isn't there when in video mode. What might be the problem? It's annoying to see in all my pictures.

Something between the lense and the sensor.
Zooming doesn't really move it because it is off center. I'm fairly certain zoom is completely digital and no parts are moving. Essentially your picture frame is shrinking smaller around the same central view.
Video size would be smaller than the entire sensor, so essentially the same dirt speck is out of the video frame. Identical to zooming into the picture.
Not sure if the sensor <-> lense assemply is sealed or not. Should be but maybe not.
You could try puffs of dry air, but be absolutely sure it is dry. Never use your mouth.
Alternatively you can try to shake the dirt out of the frame, but the dirt is probably too small to have any real weight.
If the lense assembly is sealed, warranty may be the only option.
Hope this makes sense.
Not

dream5hift, did you get the problem resolved? I have a similar problem on the Sprint GSII. My dot looks very similar (though it remains even in video mode since it's closer to the center of the frame).
I figure it's sensor dust or something similar under the lens. Sending mine in to Samsung under warranty.
Thanks

Well I just want to know how your camera lenses are... I mean that are there any minor/major scratches on them?
I protect it from scratches by keeping a transparent plastic cover the lens but it degrades the photo quality... if you people don't have any scratches on them, please say as I want to remove it.
I use capdase case to protect my phone and this is my first smart phone so in afraid that the lens may get scratched...

I'm a bit rough with mine, dropped it a few times. A part of the case broke off recently after I dropped it again It's got dings all around it, I have a screen protector though, just as well As for the camera lens, it's fine, no scratches at all.

Hello,
First of thanks for even looking at my problem also excuse me for my bad english or when I missed a similiar thread with the same problem
Last friday I was keeping my galaxy s3 between my body and my sports pants/underwear. When I took it away there was a tiny little bit of moisture on the screen (sweat I guess). I wiped it of and continued using my phone. After a while the screen started to go pink and flikkering white in different brightness levels. I quickly turned my phone off and took the battery out. I left my phone on the boiler in a bowl of rice overnight (+/- 15 hours). When I turned the phone on again it worked fine but only my screen has a very low resolution now. The rest of the phones functions are working just fine!
Does anyone know how this problem whas caused, if it could be fixed by me and if it could be under warranty (Standard dutch warranty of 2 years, my water/liquid indicators in the headphone jack and behind the battery are still white and white with blue x's respectively).
This is how my screen looks now:

(It's less visible on camera in my opinion, hope you can at least see a difference to understand what I mean with 'lost resolution'.

Thanks in advance!
I'd take it into the dealer and show them - it should be fixed under warranty I think. I would not tell them about the moisture and to be honest I don't think that is the problem. I've had water splashed on my phone with no effects. Also, the screen is fused to the glass (which is why cracks are so expensive to fix - you're buying a new screen) so the moisture would somehow have to get inside the casing to affect things. It clearly hasn't done that if the indicators are not showing water effects.
Does anybody else here have an Xperia Z2 with the same design flaw? In the upper-left corner of my phone there is a noticeable area where the plastic is not filled correctly. It looks awful in daylight conditions and seriously makes the phone look ugly. I've noticed other users mentioning it on this forum, is it a more widespread problem or just a faulty batch of phones?
Look below to see what I'm talking about:

Must be a batch issue, mine is fine.

Mine is fine to.
Probobly a fabrication error from the ones doing the frame. I know how delecate They are cos we (my job) have made aluminum frames to Nokia and HTC in the past and They are VERRY delecate after milling.
My white Z2 week 18 is fine. I checked the whole edge of both sides and the molding seems straight. Although it does look like my white is not as white anymore but that's to be expected of a white phone lol.
It's a birthmark. Love it as you would your own birthmarked child.
most of users in Turkey have the same problem and it really bothers everyone.
Is there any way to disable the optical image stabilization on an Android device? Preferably S9 as that's what I'm using, not sure if this is a thing that can be done on rooted Android devices?
I'm using it with a full frame fisheye lens as an action cam (like GoPro) with a chest harness and so far it works great, I think the quality is a lot better than GoPro (especially at night) and the lens is wider too, but there's one kind of big problem because it is using OIS and it was not designed for bigger shakes it actually ruins the image for a split second, it seems the OIS shifts the lens out of focus whenever the phone is shaked a bit hard - you can test this with your phone by shaking it forward-up-down and then playing the video back frame by frame, it is very noticeable anyway.
So what I was hoping is that by disabling the OIS (it seems to be controlled electronically and tries to compensate for the shake) it could hopefully maybe fix this, although I'm not very optimistic by this, there are moving parts in the hardware but what I noticed is that if I shake the phone without the camera app open, the camera makes more noise/moves more versus when the camera app is open, so maybe just maybe there is a way to mod the electronic part to hold it into place all the time?
Here is a gif of an example of what happens when you shake the phone, please note that this is not motion blur, but it is actually out of focus when that happens, it is exactly the same result whether I use it in very bright lightning conditions or low.

I was really happy with the results with this phone and the fact that you can edit and share content right away, would be great to solve this problem! By the way I'm using it with a Blackeye Pro Fisheye G4 lens if anyone is curious.
Hi everyone.
So i just got my hands on p20 pro, 2nd hand (pre-loved, as some socialites call it ?), and so far i'm loving it.
I'm considering of installing a physical lens protector cap, like this one:

but i noticed it doesn't have holes in between 2 top lenses, where there should be an autofocus laser transmitter-receiver set.
I tried looking up more info on how the laser autofocus works and affects the process of taking picture, but so far found none. So I thought of asking about it here.
So my question is, how useful is the laser autofocus, and what will happen if I cover it with the lens cap? Will the camera stop working (like if I cover the second camera, the phone says, 'please don't cover the lens), or the autofocus speed slows down, or maybe no changes at all?
Also, why is there no HDR mode? Is the night mode essentially means HDR mode?
Thank you in advance.
Laser autofocus helps a lot with focusing and keeping the focus on moving objects
The HDR mode is actually VIVID/SMOOTH in the tiny box i think

Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply.
Ah okay, I thought so too (that covering the lasers would hinder in AF ability), so I went with a glass cover instead for the cameras.
Thank you very much.
