Hi All,
I managed to drop my 2 week old out of my pocket straight onto the prone metal camera lens surround and dent it! Seriously annoyed.
Luckily no damage to the actual lens so just superficial damage.
Anyway, can this part be replace as it seems so prone to damage?
Thanks.
Phil.
Keep on eye on this section of this site, hopefully they will get it in soon. There normally very good for parts.

Hi guys,
Well it seems a real disappointment, but my Orbit 2 has gathered some dirt inside (I guess below outer touch surface and inner screen). Is there some way to get rid of it, can we disassemble the fornt cover in a simple way to do this?
ps: mind you its got nothing to do with a screen protector, the dust is inside the upper surface. If I got it after 1 month of use, I'm pretty sure all other owners will have similar problems!
Or you have a deffective unit in which the front protector (hardware, not accessory) was not stuck firmly enough, and let some dust inside...
I would strongly advise to NOT open the device, go back to your reseller. Most lower-tech devices can be opened, but I would really discrouage you to open this one... Much is at stake, unless you have plenty of money, but then you would have bought another one already

Thanks for the reponse. But is this an un-heard-of problem for HTC devices? Same thing happened with my Nokia mobile, there was not much help except cleaning it, and it was a design flaw. For the case of HTC I guess it wont come under warranty!
It was definitely an inherent problem with Nokia phones, and with other manufacturers' phones, where you could "snap off" the fascia in order to replace it with an painted one. Dust easily made its way under the screen cover and I was forever trying to clean it off and then snap the case back together before any new dust managed to settle!
The Touch Cruise doesn't have such a design, and taking the front off to clean underneath the fascia would be a very risky and skilled job. I second the recommendation to not tackle this yourself but to take it back to where you bought the phone from and see what they will do about it.
so i dropped my fuze the other day taking it out of the case and when it hit the ground the cover and battery came off and out. i put it back together to inspect the damage and didnt see anything wrong (i was outside at night in a parking lot). when i got back to my house i looked over the phone again in the light and noticed that it looked like my camera lens was all cracked. it turns out that only the square piece of glass in front of the camera was broken and i peeled it off and the camera seems to work fine without it. does anyone know if this affects the lens at all by being exposed and where i might be able to get another square glass cover??? the original one seemed to be glued down so i dont see why i couldnt glue another thin piece of glass overtop of it???
you can probably check out how thick the glass was and then cut off a small piece and glue it down with a normal glue just so it sticks... it's mostly to protect the lens,
yea it has to be 1 mm at most its really small. i'll take it to a camera shop and see if they have anything i can use to fit in where it was. thanks
i dropped my first fuze from a short distance and that little piece of glass broke around the sides. i think its just a noise filter. the camera still worked but there was alot of extra noise which almost seemed to pulse on the image. im taking better care of my replacement fuze.
did att give you a new replacement for free? i think i am just going to hold on to this one and flash it a few times until the fortress comes out sometime at the end of the summer.
I was putting my battery cover back on today and the battery cover touched the camera lens pretty lightly and left a scratch! I don't think this cam will last with daily pocket carrying.
the back casing is made of metal you know....
that kinda sucks. does it show up in pictures?
You might just luck out.
That's the exact reason i went out and got the body glove case. I noticed the camara lens wash just about flush with phone and wanted some thing that was raised away from it. Mine hasent scratched and glad.

Mine looks slightly scratched under the light :S (I was using the phone for a few weeks before i got a silicon case). Fortunately I can't notice it in photos
Yeah I can't see it on pics. But it is no where near as scratch resistant as the screen. I would guess keys would do a number to t his screen.
Why don't they make a cover for the lens? I truly don't need a cover for the usb, never had it for previous phones and their usb ports still work. Gimmick.
The whole industrial design on the captivate is so whack. I hope ATT guys are reading this thread but that's probably not going to happen.
I wonder how many ATT guys wish they had the Tmobile version with the nice ridge on the back at the bottom that actually let you grip the phone properly when you press the softkeys.
Are you curious about how Gorilla Glass 3 holds up against drops? Here is the answer!
The Galaxy S4 did pretty well with minimal body damage considering the fact that it has a large screen but the Glass still cracked on a face-first drop.
It also shows improvement over the S3 which has the Gorilla Glass 2.
Better than the HTC One whose Aluminium speaker grill broke off easily in a drop test.
Aluminum grills falling off isn't the worst, the worst part are the dents imo.

Dents are bearable. But the speaker grill which completely breaks off and can't be fixed easily is more annoying.
Ultimately what this test and pretty much every other drop test with these flagship phones highlights most is that these phones, as good as the build quality gets on any of them, are still extremely vulnerable to drops and falls. That's why I use a TPU, it just makes sense. For $5-10 you get almost total invulnerability to these situations that end up with busted displays and dented edges. Yeah, you give up appearance (although there's some really cool looking cases to be found), but if even one time the case saves your ass, it's worth it. No sitting around waiting for the company to cover your warranty, and no paying hundreds' of dollars when your warranty ends and you get a busted phone.

You could fix it back in though, surely? Are they glued in or screwed in?

It is unibody. It is not screwed or glued. It is a part of the back.
Hey guys!
So, long story short, I started having some ideas on how to hard-proof your NEX S without using any cover/case. After implementing this ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/accessories/ceramic-paint-coating-nex-s-t3901551 ) I started using my NEX S without any case or cover (only used it on the glass back).
2 weeks ago it slipped from my support in the moto at 140km/h and I thought I've lost it completely. After recovering it, it was working perfectly with only the metal rim around it heavily damaged and the glass back shattered (no problem with the cameras or the front screen). Again, no cover or case was in place at the time of the fall, so props to VIVO.
So I ordered another glass back from AliExpress for 10dolares ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32948791106.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1a454c4dS17NTw ) and made the change.
P.S: I dipped the glass back in the ceramic paint again several times before applying if it worked the first time.... It already comes with double-sided tape to apply.
I've cut a little bit of the interior panel so now I can see the front camera mechanism going up and down (JerryRig everything on youtube).
Sorry for the poor image quality, but I couldn't use my phone to take those for obvious reasons
If anyone has any questions or different ideas for this still amazing phone please share, I don't plan on selling it anytime soon :good:
