hey all
originally posted this in the camera section since its a camera issue, but it doesnt seem much people check that section. and the advice i need isnt 100% camera related in the terms of warranty:
one of my friends pointed out that there is a piece of hair inside my camera lens. i took a look and i did indeed see it inside. never noticed it and i went back through my past pictures and stared closely and it seemed to have always been there! my phone is currently jailbroken, and my warranty is up in sept. now, normally i would bring it back to the store and just swap it out, but i do rely on my jailbreak because i am using straight talk and i need access to the APN settings. so today i manned up and took apart the phone and sprayed the lens down with an air duster, used a q tip with alchohol and dabbed both the lens and camera itself. put it back together and its still there.
is there anything else i can try? as far as i can see, theres nothing on the lens anymore and its still displaying the peice of hair in my pictures.
should i wait till august to get a exchange so when september comes i can update to ios7 and jailbreak ( assuming thats when it comes out ) and live with the hair
or
do a warranty exchange now and lose my jailbreak until sept
what would you do? thanks for the feedback. attached are pictures of the hair
