N97 camera (lens cover and application issues)

i think these issues are already posted, but no solution as yet.
like everyone i was having scratches near the lens, so i removed the lens cover.
now my camera application doesnt work. i am on v12.
the camera application freezes, ive resintalled the firmware, reseted factory settings, everything !
no luck with starting the camera application.
ps, i even tried attaching the lens cover back, that didnt help either.
any solutions nokia ????

first of this is a user to user forum. second you voided your warranty by disassembly of your phone. anything to do with disassembly can't really be talked about here as it is against the policy of this forum. camera operation in the case of the n97 is dependent on the lens cover as it communicates to the application what needs to happen. removing it breaks that path of communication. i am sorry but i have no other ideas for you, taking it to nokia care might be your solution but you also might need to pay for repairs due to what you have done on your own to your phone.

    Is there any way to disable that dragging the small camera lens cover turns on/off the camera? if that option doesn't exist (I guess it because I searched for it long wise) is a big fail in N97!

  • Camera lens cover broken

    hi all, i had my n900 for a while now.camera lens cover(top part) has peeled off from its glue and the wire makes the cover open and close came loose by itself. i have the warranty but i do not want to send my phone just for the cover for 2 weeks. is there any place on web that i can order the lens cover only and replace it my self. its very east to remove since its plastic base.i only have the blue base on the phone now and it is loose so its keep opening the camera mode. very annoying. please help.
    thanks

    Take it to a store (Nokia or network) and ask if you can just have the back panel replaced. Or, try to find one online. Markets usually sell the covers too

  • N97 camera lense cover does not activate camera wh...

    Hi There
    I have notice that when slide my n97camera lense cover it does not activate my camera application. I have to do it manually by either pressing the camera button or heading to camera application and selecting my desired camera.
    I have re-installed the firmware and set to factory defaults and still the same problem.
    Anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Stewart 

    Hey Mate,
    When you slide your cover to open the lens, theres a small lever which hits the button that actually activates the camera.
    In my case that lever was loose, so each time i opened my lens cover, it acctually missed hitting the button.
    I took it to my local Nokia care center to have it fixed.

  • Nokia n97 camera lens/ can i return it to the stor...

    hi
    i just my nokia n97 a few weeks ago and my camera lens is getting scratched because of the camera cover. i searched the site and many people said its a hardware problem, will care centre be able to fix it, or can i go back to the store where i have bought it on a contract and return it for another fone eg. HTC magic.
    thanks alot..kinda disappointed for the defect...
    n97.

    The lens shutter on a camera is supposed to protect the lens, that why its there. However, in this case the N97, it has a design fault, and as such the shutter is not fit for purpose.
    Now, if the shop are unwilling to exchange the device for a device without the flaw demand a refund of your money. If they still refuse to do anything then contact your local trading standards, you will be able to find their address or phone number from the link below.
    Its the shops responsiblity to sort this out so don't let them tell you otherwise.

  • How to clean c5-00 camera lens inside and out

    pls help my phone is kinda cloudy when taking pictures... how to clean it properly and clening agents which is found on local market. tnx

    Hi phoenixzurc,
    If there is dust under the camera lens, please take the device to Nokia Care point and ask if they can clean it. Trying to clean it yourself might void the warranty of the device and potentially damage it. If there is dust on the lens, you can try to clean it with dry cloth.
    Hope this helped!

  • Camera lens cover is cracked

    The lens cover on my S4 is cracked. I need to get it replaced because the camera will not focus or work right without it. Does verizon do repairs like this?
    Would it be a warranty job (have it less than a year)? Can I replace it myself without risking (removed) it up?
    I saw the replacement parts on Ebay..
    >>Edited to comply with the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service<<

    Contact Samsung for warranty work.  Weither it is free or not or what the deductible will be can only be answered by them.  As far as I know verizion does not repair phones. Repairing it yourself is a risky move and that would cancel and warranty you have left.  Also you have no idea if there is any damage behind the lens or if the lens and camera have to be calibrated.  Best leave this type of work to the experts.
