I bought the HTC One M8 on launch day and have taken very good care of it since. Recently, the back camera has been taking very blurry pictures. The front camera is fine though. The lens is not cracked or scratched at all. I've wiped the lens down very good, but it doesn't help (both main and duo lens). Anyone else have this problem?
Are you sure it's not scratched? I had to remove the film that was on the camera as I had some scratches and noticed a degraded picture. Everything is great now. You can Google around for ways to remove the film on the camera.

I had this problem when I first bought mine. I'm not sure if was the case I had on it or the film. But I changed the case and whipped the flim with a soft cloth an rebooted(idk y I rebooted lol) but it worked
HTC ONE M8?
Can try the old toothpaste trick. Get some toothpaste on a Q-Tip and rub it on the lens a bit. Then clean it off. Concept of waxing a car kind of. Worked on all phones I've had in the past.
The blurriness was due to scratches on the screen after all. I used some car polish to buff it out, now the pics are better than ever.
I have a problem with the front Facing Cam having fuzzy and blurry pics. I will try the toothpaste trick to see if it helps

Does anybody else have dust between the glass and their ffc? The image the camera produces doesn't appear to be affected but I can clearly see the dust and its only a matter of time before some is in the way of the lens.

Nope, there's no dust on my ffc. Maybe take it back for an exchange?
Nope. I use a TPU case. May have came that way from the factory. REPLACE!

Yes, after two months of use, mine has dust under the glass in front of the ffc. Haven't find a way to clean it.
Cleaned mine, don't think it's a case issue as the dust is probably coming in through the earpiece.
Ifixit has a good teardown: six screws in back, then 3 screws to remove the sim module. Don't bend the ffc back, that ribbon cable is weak and breaks easily. Clean with a screwdriver with the tip covered with a thick microfiber cloth.
Problem is that I've been repeating this once every two months. Today I took some yellow tack (for sticking posters to walls, just a tiny strip) and sealed the ffc. You can see the strip from the front, but hopefully I wont have to attempt the cleaning again! And I can't see any negative results in the camera app.
You may have more success with something like superglue, but I wanted something a little less permanent.
EDIT: I'm from Prairie Village if you want me to show you in person sometime
yes i am reviving this. how the hell do i get the dust out lol. ive even tried spraying a keyboard dust can into the damn earpiece.
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.
Has anyone else seen this? My camera quality slowly got worse and worse. I went to get my phone replaced under warranty and got hassled around because of the known hairline back that happens around the microphone port so I decided to take the lens off. It takes perfect pics now. I'm very gentle with my phones. It's in perfect condition so I don't even understand how the lens got this way. Bought a new one on ebay for $4 and will replace it myself. Here's what my pics look like.. One is the front camera and the horrible looking one is the rear camera.
When you say camera lens, are you talking about the protective plastic piece? That's not a lens, it's just a piece of protection stuck on like the plastic cover found on your screen when unboxing. The actual camera lens is glass and would be tough to scratch.

No... I understand.... Protective plastic was removed a LONG time ago. My photos appear cloudy as well, and slowly getting worse. if I look at the lens it looks like it's got a sheen over it and no matter what I do I can't rub it off I can't clean it off. What do I want for a buck though I guess.... right? Dollar phone.
I was able to clean the sheen off with some tooth paste, q-tip then some alcohol to shine it up. Works great now, no scratches
My bro's Verizon model doesn't have the coating. Maybe it was a mistake during assembly, didn't get cleaned off at the right time.
Over the past few days my pictures have started looking like they were all taken in a 1920s jazz club.
I took a photo on the 9th of my living room setup that came out perfectly clear. The next day I noticed that pictures were coming out a little fuzzy, having a hard time focusing, and there appeared to be a slight film on the lens cover. The picture I post below is from today and the haze seems to cover almost the entire lens cover.
I removed the film the day I purchased the phone and haven't made any changes to my daily routine that may have brought this about.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Hair dryer on medium for a minute or so? Should I RMA? Anyone else having this problem?
Is there any kind of condensation under the lens?

I can't tell what it is but there is definitely something under the lens. However, I checked the water indicator in the sim tray and it seems to still be white.
Edit: I know you can't really tell anything from those photos. In the first one, even though it is out of focus, you can tell there is definitely something on the lens.
I can't tell much by the photos, but the camera and finger sensor ship with protective vinyl covers. The one on my finger sensor was particularly hard to remove because it was cut and aligned so perfectly, there was no lip to grab. I had to use tweezers to remove it.

Yeah, I distinctly remember the fingerprint protector being a pain to remove. That's why I know there isn't a protector on the lens...

Ah, I completely missed that in your OP. My S6 takes the best photos of any phone I've ever owned, I have zero complaints about that. Your photo is definitely hazy. I have never taken a photo like that. If you are still in your return period, you should exchange it.

There is definitely something wrong there. Return the device while you can.
Can't really tell from the pics, but you might have condensation in the inner elements of the compound lens.

Thanks, gents. Looks like I'll be filing a warranty replacement on Monday.
The only thing I can think is that when I went for a run with it in an armband the morning it started and somehow sweat got in there. I guess they weren't kidding when they removed the water proof rating from the s5.
I attached a couple pictures from before it started. This camera seriously is phenomenal.
Hi there,
I tried to clean my rear cam a couple of times with differentent cleaner (glass cleaner, isopropanol, breath and microfiber cloth).
But I have still this fuzzy cam...
The first picture is from an old HTC One X
This one from my Nexus.
Got anybody an idea how I can get the photos sharp again?
It doesn't seem out of focus, everything is hazy, i would suspect damaged lense or dirty. Or the lense glass.

hmm... I don't why but I think the cam modul is damaged. I had tried to clean to cam several times but the haze won't go.
I put a spare part on my phone - now it works perfect.
But I can imagine why the cam modul gone hazy...
