I own a new sony erriccson xperia neo v and my front cam deforms the pictures. Can anyone tell me what I should do? Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

Does the deformation look digital or optical?
If if looks optical it could be that the lens is damaged or loose.
If it looks digital I dunno what to suggest.
In the case of a lose lens element you can open up the phone (voiding any warranty that may be remaining) and try to re-seat it. I might try using toothpick to apply a little spot of super-glue on either side of the lens element. If it is still under warranty you might think about sending it in.
Just changed to the z3 from my iphone 5s. After one week of use I see that I have alot of tiny scratches on the glass that covers the camera. On my Iphone 5s i have not a single scratch after a year of usage.
Anyone else having the same? I dont want to use a large case covering my phone, but the quality of my pictures matters a lot. Tips to preventing this to happen? Why is it happening?
Edit: Sorry, wrong part of forum. Please move.

It s simple Smartphone cannot take care of itself you should be careful where to put it
iPhone 5s also have these kindda problem cause I experience it myself (lots of scratch on camera, back and front
there is small circle protector to just put on camera to prevent scratches (it doesn't effect on pic quality cause it s completely visible) and usually these protectors ships with screen protectors
:good:

Not really true as it deeply depends of the glass quality...
I've got a Samsung S4, took it with me on my Asia trips. Water, sand, rough handling, carrying it with lots of other stuff in the backpack.
NO (!) scratches on the camera lens.
Z3: Scratches on the glass backplane after one day of cautious use, crack in the display glass after listening to loud music for some time, rendering the touchscreen defective. Crack starting at the upper speaker which causes strong vibrations of the phone.
So it seems Sony doesn't care much about using quality glass; might be the same with the camera lens.
same problem with z3 camera scrathes.

me and my brother have the same problem, after only 2 weeks of use, both phones have the same problem, the camera glass looks very bad! so for me it's clear a material problem. Too bad, becuase the z3 it's really nice!

I don't and I bet the majority of people also don't have these problems. I don't look after my phones either.
The things you describe do not "just happen" as a result of "one day of cautious use" and screens do not crack from listening to music on the pathetic quiet speakers.
Might just be the oleo-phobic layer, which got damaged. Some LG G2s also had that. Rare though.
Try taking a qtip and rub toothpaste on it, it will buffout the scratchesand look brand new, happened to my htc m8
Herei would like to share my experience, i noticed the same problem while agi, normally don'tuse fone camera alot, but noticed lately that it has gone rubbish, search on youtube and different forums everyone refer that toothpaste thing and some even told me about nail polish remover, before starting with the cure it came to my mimd why need clean my hands first before i start cleaning my camera lens,while i was usinghand wipes bought from local shop i attempt ti clean my phone too, accidently i rubbed it on lens too and i noticed they weregoing smoothly i rubbed it gently and yaayyy its gone without doing anything else,
So basically only need a hand wipe to remove those smooth stains from lens,only precaution be gentle to your device.

I have recently got a little scratch on my camera lens as well, i have look up on the internet and people say use toothpaste to remove the coating that is easily scratched. But I don't think i want to remove that layer of coating (if Z3 D6603 has that coating). Then I found the displex scratch remover, i wonder if this will work on the scratched Z3 camera lens. The scratch is very minor and does not affect the photo quality, but I just want it to be fixed.

It may also be the anti-reflective coating.

Indeed. It's still like new.
But if it comes to the Z3, any scratches of the camera lens might improve the picture quality as the Z3 has the worst camera I ever experienced over the last few years.
It's nothing but a shame.
Have a look at the attachment - that's NO JOKE; it's bitter reality.

Hi could sumone tell me if my z5 has got a protective film on the lense cuz its scuffing really easy feels oval when i run my finger over it i cant seem to get it of it is
Had to crop it its not cracked just seems to get scuffed easly
For some reason some xperias just dont have that coating on the glass that stops it from being scratched easily
If this is bothering you perhaps contact sony repair or even DIY something?

I had the same problem with my first Z5 here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/camera-glass-stain-t3434109/page1
It's a problem due to a protective UV layer on the lense that goes away and spread over it.
I know you can't fully remove it even with toothpaste, q-tip or whatever.
It's just an aesthetic problem it does not influe on your photos.
Mine did that only a week after I bought it, the seller gave me a new one and that's it, no more problems since.
Trust me, you can't remove it and, if you're lucky, it will not change your photos (mine did some blurry photos) as I already said it's just a aesthetic problem, if you want to change it or not that's up to you but don't worry this isn't that serious.

ok thanks for ur help i probably would have to take it to a repair shop to get it sorted?
As I said that's up to you, if you want a brand new one, go ahead, if you don't care about it and it don't bother you, keep it.
I personally sent it back to the seller and he gave me a new one but a month after.
Don't understand why a Great Leading Phone Brand like Sony have the idea of using plastic material for Sony Xperia's Camera Lens. That's the reason why the camera lens is so easy to get tons of small scratches over a short period of time; hence, reducing the quality of the camera.
If you guys want to protect the lens, I suggest buying this accessories: http://stcoptics.com/en/products/phone-lens-glass-protector/
It's quite expensive but if you guys want a cheaper but less-quality choice, simply buy a back-side protector firm and manually cut it to fit the Xperia Z5 size.
Hope you guys could benefit from my humble post,

OK thanks think I'll just get a new lense and replace it as I can't get another one as I brought it 2nd hand was a good price too
hi everyone
some one knows how I can remove the Screen Protection of my xperia XA ? I dropped it on the floor and the glass in front of display crashed but the touch are working well. I want to remove only the glass of Screen Proctetion to change to another.
thanks
Hi guyz
I lack the plastic part in my sony z3, which covers flash diode. I don't know why it's not there. I was just replacing my colegue's LCD while I noticed it. Everything would be fine if only flash photos wasn't stained with light from flash diode.
I circled in the attachment this plastic part i miss in mine z3. Another photo is a photo made by this z3 with the light steins coming from flash diode(right side of the picture). I managed to reduce this steins by like 80% already by putting some thin tape between camera and led flash, but I'm not satisfied with it. I can put it more... true, but my question is if anybody know how to call this part and if i can buy it anywhere. Or someone can tell me the messurements so i can print it with my another friend's 3d printer. Or maybe someone can come with another solution ?
