Day 2 - Already have dust under front facing camera

[F2a]

Sigh. Never had this problem with my GS2.

edit: added a better picture.

Your entire phone and table looks dusty!

 

[TheBigJMoney]

Hopefully they won't give you any problems exchanging it for a new one. Anytime a new product comes out some of them are inevitably faulty. That said, it sucks when it happens to you.

 

[atlbuc]

I'm looking at the blown up pic and it looks like you have dust all outside the phone and around the edges.

 

[F2a]

Yeah, the bright flash really bring out all the dust. I can't even see all that dust without a flashlight. I try to clean my pockets before I put the phone in but looks like it had some dust in there.

Now that you mention it, I found that my Lumia 920 has dust in the front camera as well. It doesn't look like its as bad as yours but I figure its only been 2 days and it can only get worse. Ugh I'd rather not replace it because I just got everything the way I like it!

 

[naldonnis]

I have already gone through two black Lumia 920s in the last 3 days due to dust getting under the screen. I swapped it for the red one so far I don't see any. I love this phone but if they don't offer a fix or if Nokia will offer a correctly sealed lumia 920, we may be in that category of "sucks when it happens to you"

I just noticed I have quite a bit too. :/

 

[c8m6p]

I had this, took it back to AT&T and they gave me a new one no hassle.

 

[ibbyj]

I'll probably wait to see if it becomes a problem.

I'm sure its not air tight, and will happen to any I get.

otherwise, i'd assume I can get a warranty replacement down the line if needed.

 

[naldonnis]

Yeah you can. Just not sure if you get a warranty replacement will fix the issue or get one that's actually worse than the one you have now.

 

[Mpm277]

I've had my 920 for a week, and it's MUCH worse than yours.

 

[hasasimo]

I should be getting my L920 today. All these threads are really worrying me :-/

I know. It sucks. But it's part of being a first batch buyer. I love my phone, but it's going back. Just too many little problems with it.

I can deal with all the little quirks that can be solved through a software update (most problems fall into this category), but I'm afraid of any hardware defects since I ordered mine off Ebay (meaning it may be more of a hassle to return/exchange). Too many people are reporting things like dust under the FFC or bricked devices after a factor reset.

can't see it - permissions are borked

After a week there is more dust above the camera. Took it to AT&T to exchange but they didn't have any in stock. Seems like it's not an isolated issue.

 

[lordofthereef]

Admittedly, I cannot see it in the pic, but after looking at mine I noticed the dust as well. That coupled with the light leak I have in the bottom right, along with my phone having frozen a total of six times (once was a random reboot) I am thinking of getting a replacement. Question is, where? No place around me has them in stock. I certainly don't want to get stuck with a phone with faults if I go past my 14 days. Also would like to avoid paying the restocking fee. Decisions, decisions.

 

[iphonemilk]

You guys.. I have dust in my front facing cam as well.. I keep my phone SUPER clean and clean it off every morning even...

ATT White model... How the heck does dust even get in there.???

QUESTION**

Is this a replaceable thing? like what i mean is.. if i go into the ATT Store will they give me grief trying to replace this?
