After trying to clean the dust gathered in the camera (Thanks HTC for not covering it) my lens got scratched somehow. I can take pictures and haven't noticed any flaws or bad photos but the focus seems a little bit weird now. Close things to the camera don't focus very well and I think it's the scratches fault.
Did anyone here replace their Sensation camera some time? Was it easy? They are cheap at eBay, and I replaced some iPhone cameras before. Or is there some DIY to remove lens scratches? Please let me know what can be done. :banghead:
The sensations camera does not focus well with near objects. So changing the lens may not help.
I am having issues with my rear facing camera.
While ago, my lens cover got broken on a sharp table edge. Bought a new cover and replaced. Had some focusing issues, eventually went away. Now I am having some spots appear on photo when taken. I have taken phone apart and to my best cleaned the camera and lens, nothing seems to fix it though. Makes me think it is not dust.
I ordered a new camera and lens, they are in mail now. Anyone have any experience with this? Please see attached photo for reference.

Im rooted running stock 4.2.2 rom. But iv always noticed this phones front facing camera really sucks... Anyone know an app or a method to improve it?
It's only a 1.3mp camera (or something like that), what do you expect out of it?

Yeah, the front cameras on smartphones and tablets are always much lower resolution and quality than the rear camera. Really, the only use for the front camera is video calls and the occasional "selfy". You aren't going to fix the hardware limitations with software. I do wish the front camera was a bit better, but it is what it is.
One thing, is that the front camera opening is a dust trap, and hard to clean. If you can see dust on the camera glass, try to clean it out with a Q-tip or a rolled up edge of a cloth moistened with glass cleaner. In particular, if you notice a white haze to the front facing pics, cleaning off the dust will probably help.
Hi all,
Just wanted to get people's opinion on the lens, specifically the large lens cover. I have a scratch across mine, which in one part is rather deep. Not crack levels of deepness, but deeper than a hairline. I currently have a dbrand skin covering the lens - is this likely to develop into a crack, or should I not worry about it?
I've read somewhere that the camera lens is sapphire crystal and virtually unscratchable - I'm calling BS on that.
Thanks

I don't mind it, especially if its a design choice LG had to make in-order to incorporate the OIS camera sensor. I'd rather have a slightly protruding camera lens on an otherwise thin phone over a recessed camera on a thick phone or a weird camera hump like that of the nokia 1020.

I don't think a small scratch on something small like the camera lens would grow to be a crack. So don't worry about it.

You've read wrong, Nexus 5 was never claimed to have a sapphire crystal camera lens.
Did anyone notice that, unlike the GS6 and other Galaxies before it, the S7 and S7 Edge don't have the plastic film that covers both the camera and heart sensor lenses when you first got it? Some people take them off when they got the phone, but I left it on there on my GS6 to protect the camera lense from scratches.
Just wanted to know whether someone has noticed this on their phones as well?
U are anyways suppose to remove them.

That plastic makes photos you take worse because it reflects lights to the camera in a way that it is undesirable. You bought a phone with a fantastic camera. Why would you leave a thing like this attached to it?
Besides, the camera glass is Gorilla. Heart hate sensor is a cheap one. And if you use any kind of case, you can put your phone on the table and the camera glass will never touch table directly.
Enjoy your phone. I know it is not cheap, but it is just a phone.

Thanks, appreciate your feedback
Even if it did have that plastic on it and you left it on, it'd get scratched up pretty quickly. If you wanted some kind of protection though, you could try d-brand skins. They cover the glass on the camera lens, leaving only a small opening for the aperture (although I don't know how much "give" there is for the OIS function), but that could still get damaged. Personally, I just have a case, front screen protector and that's it.

Thanks. Glad to see another NZ lad on here
Also from NZ boys, i ordered some glass protectors from ebay and they fit really well. They fit over the camera lens and on thr heartrate sensor. Check them out. Only took a couple days to get here aswell which was awesome.
