Black spot on back camera

hello everyone, I just bought my friend's iPhone 4 which is replacement from the Authorize seller in Indonesia. So i can't check my warranty tey mentioned "Our records indicate that this product has been replaced" , then i just realized that there's black spot on my back camera, what should i do? can i claim that to Apple?

I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar.  In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken.  However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something.  Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

  • Black spot on my iPhone 3Gs Camera

    Even though outer hardware looks completely damage less, the Camera is showing small black spot and it's also showing up on the picture i take with it.
    It just simply dosen't go away,
    I been to everywhere and they all come with same answer; "go to apple"
    I wondering if apple will exchange this right away with out a hassle.
    Anyone had same problem? what do you do about it?

    I´ve noticed the same think as you. On my camscreen I´ve got a crocked line.
    Didn´t have that black line before, so I´ve thought it was a minor bump that caused this to happend.
    So... hmm... If a bump on the cam side of the phone could cause this, a new
    bump on the same side would fix it again?
    Down to business: smack! right on my knee twice, and look: the black spot in
    the cam app is now gone!
    Think I should go to the store and let them have a look at it.
    But wait for weeks for a replaced/fixed one? Don´t think so.
    So if you dare: Try slapp your baby once or twice on the lense side corner.
    Worked for me!

  • Nokia N8, Camera Issue: Black spot

    Saw others have had the same issue.. and tried the "solutions"
    Black spot in same location on every picture / live preview of the image on the camera mode.
    tired cleaning the lens, does not work. Guess its a hardware problem/ faulty lens?
    need a bit of info before i go back to Virgin to get a new hand set

    I just had the same issue appear on my Nokia N8. I looked back in my pictures and it started about two hours ago based on pictures I'd taken (I take a lot!).
    Anyway I searched for the solutions you had referred to and found ones saying a shake of the phone resolves the problem. I tried but to no avail, I still had a dark spot. I read further about explanation of dust or micro-organism (and how this should not be possible as they units are sealed airtight in the factory) and decided that I would knock the phone against my hand (more forgiving than a wall or table) to see if this helped. Lo and behold the dark spot disappeared!
    It is worrying that there may be something falling around in front of the lens of my camera and just hope it does not reappear soon....

  • Black spot on camera?

    This just started happening today.. I have a black spot on the upper right portion of my rear camera..it only shows when I'm trying to use the camera. The outer glass or plastic over the camera is clean. I don't see any dirt or scratches or anything. When I zoom to a certain point, the black spot goes away, zoom back out and it comes back...
    is my inner lens screwed up or dirty? It honestly hasn't been dropped or put anywhere near water.
    help?

    Hi mommylo89,
    Welcome to the forum!
    We need to check if this is caused by the software or hardware of the phone. First, May we know what is the model of the device? Have you tried restarting the phone or performing a reset? Performing a reset will refresh the system of the phone. If it's still the same after that, possible that it is a hardware issue and that you need to send it for check up at the Nokia Care Point.

  • I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, problem comes back.

    I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, the problem comes back.
    Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
    Although I'm not able to see on the screen.
    Mike

    First try a restore from backup
    If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
    If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Problem with the back camera in iPhone 4 (Black Shadow)

    Hi, I have a problem with the back camera. When turned on I can see a black shadow on one side and when I take the photo, appears in all the photos.
    I searched on the Internet to resolve this problem but I haven't been successful. A friend told me that maybe it is dirt that was introduced into the cover but I don't think It's true.
    The iPhone haven't dropped me for some quite time and don't crashing.
    Look here is a photo to show you how the black shadow looks like:
    Please, anyone know what the problem can be?

    It certainly does work.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Black spot on "Camera" taking photos, not videos

    Hello everybody. I hope that you can help me. Today I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 and now I have a black spot up and left side of the camera. First I thought that it was something stuck to the lens, but it wasn't and when i set up the camera to use it to take a video the black spot doesn't appeirs. I've turned off the Camera app, the iPhone, I've tryed to change the options, puting in landscape mode, everything... and nothing happens. Also, when I use another app that uses the camera... it doesn't show the black spot.
    Is a problem with iOS6?. Does someone know how to fix it?... Somebody has the same problem?... anything that can help me .
    Thanks!

    (and by the way, of course the iPhone didn't received any punch)

    I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
    I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
    Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
    Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
    I'm not sure what else to do.
