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!

    How come my iphone 3gs camera takes pix even w/o me pressing the "shutter button"? this doesn't happen everytime tho. just there are times when it does.
    could my iphone be defective?

    Hi,
    sorry, I really don´t understand what you mean. - Can you please explain
    in an other way?
    Does the shutter button on the screen work sometimes and sometimes not?

  • My iphone 3gS camera has a dark shadow looking dot on it. I lloked it up and i think maybe its a pixel problem. What can apple do to fix it?

    My iphone 3GS camera has a dark shadow looking dot on it. I lloked it up and i think maybe its a pixel problem. What can apple do to fix it?

    Hmm, then it could be something somehow with the actual camera sensor behind the lens or maybe software issue. But i'd recommend ringing Apples support line and seeing if they can fix it, if it's still in warrantly they should do it free of charge.

  • IPhone 3GS camera freezes and/or restarts iOS 5

    I have updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS5 and now it will not take photos. When I try to do so the screen goes black with the grey pinwheel and the phone goes back to the desktop screen. It has rendered my camera useless.

    What Troubleshooting Steps have you tried...?
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Black spot on the iphone 5S

    Hi, i've got almost one moth ago the iphone 5s, and has a black spot on the right side. i dont know what could be, so if someone has the same problem, could help me!?

    If this is damage from misuse it is not covered. Otherwise it is covered. It does not matter the Apple Store vs other store for purchase location, the 1 year Warranty is identical. Next time you go to Apple Store ask to see the store manager.

  • IPhone 3GS Camera Crashes iOS 4.3 When Device Used In Cold Weather

    I was in Chicago today where the weather was in the low 40's (high 20s with the windchill). As I was sightseeing and using my iPhone to shoot casual snapshots, the OS completely crashed when I was trying to take the picture. My iPhone has never crashed for any reason, but I shrugged it off and then restarted the device. I took two more pictures, and then the phone again crashed on the third picture. After another restart, the phone started crashing every time I took a picture without exception.
    Fearing the worst that my phone was about to die on me while on a business trip, I headed back to the car and headed for the hotel. As I was driving back, I got to thinking that my phone has never been in weather this cold before (I'm from California). As soon as I got to my room, I put the camera beneath the heating vent and allowed it to warm up. Once it felt like it was room temperature, I picked it up and started shooting pictures to see if I could get it to crash again. After forty pictures, it was still working.
    Are there any known issues with the camera sensor on the iPhone 3GS in cold weather? Another poster from Eastern Europe seems to be having the same problem with the same model phone:

  • Iphone 3gs camera shutter not opening......

    hi......Plz. help.....   ihave iphone 3gs......am open camera but shutter not opening....  am also reset , restart , restore......iphone.....but same problem....?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Try clearing your Camera Roll.
    Else, return it to whom you purchased it from.

  • IPhone 3Gs camera-auto focus not working; no focus instead

    Just got a new iPhone 3Gs. Wanted to test the camera since I hear it's so much better. The image never focuses. At first a box appears, dead center, like it should, but it doesn't focus. When I tap on the screen a box appears where I tapped, so it's responsive in that respect. But again, doesn't focus there.
    Help! I haven't used it yet -- is there a setting I need to set or something else I need to do (calibrate?) to get it to work?

    Do you have enough light for a photo? Have you tried taking a picture, and seen that it is out of focus (as opposed to fuzzy because you didn't hold it steady enough)? Is the lens clean?

  • I have a purple spot on my iPhone 5 camera ?

    I've had my iPhone 5 from September2012 and it was working fine until suddenly I got a purple spot on my camera screen! I thought it was the lens so I cleaned it but it's still there and it's annoying me, anyone else had this problem? The Apple store is far from me so taking it to the store is a hassle.
    Thankssss

    Spots are typically indiciative of debris that has gotten on the lens, in the camera, or between the camera and the lens. Certainly attempt to clean the lens from the outside. If the issue persists, it would point towards an internal issue that would require replacement of the device (Apple Stores do not have the ability to replace the camera itself on the iPhone 5). Under warranty, this is free. Outside of warranty, expect to pay about $270.
