I think you have dirt under it on the camera lense, or its a scratched camera lense.
Or
Do do you see these on the screen too even when not using the camera?

You could try to wipe off the lens. I use a lint free cloth that came with my sunglasses... or my T-shirt when I'm in a jam.
I normally don't see those spots on my screen. And if I look at the lense it doesn't look scratched...
I cleaned it with a peace of cloth and the spots are still there....
Is there a way to open the camera or something?

Then its on the inside of the lense. You need to probably need to google the lense issue since guides are all over the place. If I come across one, I will let you know since I am curious too.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I can only find guides for other phones... Is the process the same?

Don't know. I personally have never modded a camera before.

You could check out iFixit.com They have a tear down tutorial for the Atrix. From what I can tell, the camera is a solid piece which is soldered to the ribbon. If the dirt is on the inside of the lens itself, you may need to replace it.

If it's the front camera, check out this thread.

Hey seipsje,
Bringing this old thread up as I am facing a similar issue with my Photon 4g. But in my case, its just a single black dot.
Check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403912
I had 1 question, I dunno what up with your phone atm, but do you remember, when you zoomed in, did the black dots change their positions?

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
honestly unless you paid a lot for the case i say just get a new one. being the type of plastic it is most chemicals would probably damage it. they are cheap enough to get new one.
Ok thanks everybody, I can try bleach but I'msure the smell would stick. No it's not expensive. Another one wouldn't be too bad. I remember something about a solution that you could spray on but couldn't find it. Thanks again!
btw hit the thanks button for you all!

Buy a black one? Or a different brand?
I know, not really a solution, but a cover that changes color within a few weeks or months ... can't be made with very good material.

I have it if I also: Llorando:: Llorando:: Llorando:: Llorando:
Autofocus cameras have a bunch of components inside of them. Since there are components in there that have to move back and forth, you are hearing that part inside the camera getting jostled around. Quit being mean to your camera!
My camera is terrible. The pictures are always grainy and such. When you look at the camera lense, there is some sort of film over it and i can not get it off... Any ideas?

Cm9.1 stable.
Have you gone into settings and adjusted anything? I was on ics for about a week, don't remember your options.I'd make all the settings the highest they can go. Try a better camera app from the market.

No. But I think I will have to mess with the white balance. My pictures just look absolutely washed out.
Gee. Just take it to the att store and say see..its broke I need it replaced. That's what I did when the autofocus quit working.

No. I run Cm9.1. The warranty is void.
They won't know if you return. To stock unroot we don't check at my store.

There IS a film on it. Only some notes have them. My gf got hers at best buy, same as me. Hers black, mine white. Hers had the film over the camera lens, mine didn't.

What exactly you want with this thread? If your digitizer is broken, buy another and replace it
Sent from my MB860
Try this link. It's a weird fix that might work. If not you'll just have to buy a new digitizer and replace it.

Highly doubt it. Atrix 4G is known for having issues with the digitizer. I myself have a dead stripe vertically too. Let us know how it goes tough.

Same here. I upgraded to a new phone. I was hoping I would be able to stick with Motorola, but nope.
At some point I'll probably drop $30 on the new digitizer and try to resurrect it.

Im thinking the same thing. Im going to buy something used though. Maybe a S2 or something. Only requisites are that it must have official ICS and great dev support.

Couple of question:
1) Did you replaced the digitizer yourself?
2) Where you bought it?
3) Was it hard to replace?
4) How much it costed?

The digitizer is super easy to replace.
I used ifixit.com's teardown and was able to figure out everything I needed. In fact I was actually replacing a water damaged lcd but I had to tear the phone down in exactly the same way. 20 minute job for someone with almost no experience inside of electronic devices.
So I think it's been about a year since I remember those threads popping up with white note users seeing pressure cracks around their screen. I was one of them and just unfortunately accepted it. I figured a little crack was no big deal.
But.. how many do you have now?
I'm at 16.

None on my white note... I guess I got lucky
None on mine either....
I'm up to 9 cracks on my white Note. This is the 2nd one too.
I've had an otter box on my white note since I got it went to a bar out in Oakland and dropped it down an impressive flight of stairs. I now have a nice two inch crack from speaker to front camara. Phone still works like a champ though.

If you don't notice them on yours then not worth looking for. Once you see them you can't un-see them lol.
No cracks on my white note screen but there are 2 cracks on the white plastic around the screen. One buy the volume keys and one by the head phone jack.
