Go Cell Phone Repair just done my housing replacement today and am pleased to say that it was successful.

Go Cell Phone Repair unfortunately not, the physical cutout on the housing is too low. I was able to get it near enough aligned, but when I put the logic board back in and plugged the camera into it, the camera shifted back up. I will go back in at some point to rule out trapped dust though.

HI, great video! But one little problem, you may help me with... I´ve been doing smartphones repairs and changing to the custom housing for a years, but until now never had issue with rear camera focusing after changing to the custom housing... I am pretty much sure that I´ ve done everything just fine, camera is working but it just wont focus which leads to poor quality of images ofc... I´ve tried with af lock (long tapping) but did not help... Also I did notice that the metal holder which came built in the custom housing on the place where rear camera comes, is a little bitte different then original one (yours also, mine is same as yours), original one has a tiny teeth on two sides of the circle edge of the metal holder... so I was wondering maybe is in that problem, maybe those teeth are giving the ability to focus the camera... also I just moved the camera from original housing to the custom, there are little chances to break it during that time... any suggestions what might cause the problem? I´ ll try to buy a new rear camera and replace it, but I do not believe it would help...
@GoCellPhoneRepair7 жыл бұрын
Is it possible to use the original lens? It could be the teeth you are referring to or maybe the lens on the new housing is causing the problem. Haven't run into that myself yet.

Some are more crucial than others but you really want to keep them organized from the start.
