With some of the reviews mentioning that the EVO will lay directly on the camera's lens, is there a chance that the screen protection manufacturers will create a disc to protect the lens as well?It might not get trashed right away, but it would be nice to be able to swap out a disc rather than having permanently fuzzed out pics from the scratches on the lens.

Anyone figure out a solution? I'm very careful with my phone, and my lens already has a few microscratches on it.
View 49 Replies View RelatedIm just curious, but how durable is the screen and lens? I heard it was Gorilla Glass but then also that it's not.Are your screens scratched? If so from what?Also how about the camera lens? Is it durable? Scratch resistant?
View 3 Replies View Relatedso today i bought a invisishield screen protector for my evo. I didn't like how it went on and everything, so i threw it away. i started to think about it, and cut it in half, and then in half again. I took off the battery cover and laid it over the lens. Put the cover back on and you can barely notice it. It is worth it for 14.99 to me, and it might be to you, especially if you can find a clearance one!

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy camera lens is kind of broken. Well, technically it's not broken. If I push the lens with my thumb, it makes "tick" sound and I can see the gap between actual lens and cover. It shouldn't make a gap, isn't it? If this is not normal, where should I go and fix it? is there any service center to fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust noticed that the camera lens in mine is below center behind the little round window that protects it. It doesn't affect the incoming light or quality at all but just wondering if this is a common thing or if I should maybe get an exchange. Can you all check yours under a light and post your findings please?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust wanted go give a heads up to those that are using the Verizon silicone case, or other similar tight fitting cases. I had to take my case off to get to the battery, and somehow applied pressure to the phone in such a way that I shattered the camera lens.It's totally my fault, I should have been more careful and paid better attention to what I was doing. Just wanted to let you know that damage is possible if you aren't careful.
View 11 Replies View RelatedThis weekend, I noticed a small black spot on every picture that I took or video that I filmed. Thinking that it was a speck of dust on top of the camera lens, I took off the back cover, removed the protective glass plate (it is easily removable as it is secured by double sided tape), and cleaned the lens. Unfortunately, as you can see from the picture, the spot remains. The spot is slightly down and to the right of center.Does anyone have any idea as to what this could be? I am thinking that it may be dust under the lens. If that is the case, any suggestions on how to clean it? I think the only way I can get under the lens would be to take screws out, but then I would void the warranty.I didn't get insurance so I don't think I can return it. But, even if I could, I don't think I want to given the shortages (esp. if it means that I'm going to get a refurbished phone).
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have had my phone since June 14th and today noticed my camera lens is cracked. It's a very small crack that goes right across the middle and you have to look hard to see it. Doesn't seem to impact image quality as far as I can tell. It has never been dropped so I'm not sure how it happened. I don't use a case but I'm very careful with my phone. Not sure why HTC made the EVO with a raised camera lens, anytime you set it down that�s the piece that makes contact with whatever you put it on.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI got my EVO this morning and I am thoroughly impressed. I had one issue however. I tried to take some photos and and the pictures all seemed blurry. I then inspected the lens and noticed a thin film over it and it had small air bubbles in it. I tried to remove it but it did not come off easy and began to tear so I stopped immediately. Is the film normal?

View 4 Replies View Relatedbesides a seido case or any case... what are the alternative methods to prevent that camera from being scratched up? here are my thoughts
1. what if you used one of those screen protector and cut a circle to place onto the camera glass? will that degrade picture quality?
2. HTC Evo 4G Magnet Mount Conversion Lens, FREE Shipping, HTC Evo 4G PHONE Magnet Mount Conversion Lens what if you attached the included circular magnetic piece (kinda like a washer) to act as a spacer?
3. like the magnetic spacer, maybe add a small strip of rubber with adhesive on the back to raise up the top of the phone and create a very small space between the surface and the camera. similar to feets found under a laptop.
4. small adhesive rubber dots... like those placed on your laptop's bezel around the lcd
I have the Evo Naked and I wanted to somehow protect the Camera. I cut a small circle of Screen Protector for the Back Camera for protection. I cant tell a difference on pics that I have taken with the protection on or off. I used a standard screen protector from sprint.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI want to do that because I don't like the red poking throughI'm sure that others do. Just thought I'd ask if anyone blacked theirs out, though.Ideas are appreciated. That is all.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThought I had a horizontal scratch running across the back camera glass element. After investigating with my finger nail and then looking at it from an angle I've determined it's not a scratch but a pressure crack. My fingernail can't get caught anywhere on the surface, but when you view it from an angle it looks extremely deep (basically the thickness of the glass).

View 17 Replies View RelatedWhen I started playing with my new Droid (4409) I saw that it had the same auto-focus issues that everyone else complained about.Setting the unit to action made it focus at infinity, so somewhat better but I couldn't get shopsavy to recognize any barcodes.I cleaned the lens even though it didn't seem dirty and now Shopsavy locks onto bar codes and the unit seems to Auto-focus with just about 100% lock (green corners).Could some of the problems people are having just be be caused by lens placement and skin oils?
View 34 Replies View RelatedI've had my Desire for just over 2 months now and like to think I look after it - i.e. it doesn't get dropped or thrown about etc. However I've noticed that the rear camera lens cover is already badly scratched which is having a detrimental effect on any photos I take - they have a slightly 'misty' look to them. Quite disappointed by all of this as I owned a SE W880i for 3 years and the lens is still as good as the first day it left the box Just wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem and if there is a fix? I could pop out and buy another cover but I fear it would only last another 2 months and using a protective case isn't that appealing!
View 33 Replies View RelatedThis O ring glued to the phones battery cover will stop broken lens' for good! The reason why the glass cracks is direct pressure to the red bezel. With this O ring it can not happen all the shock force is now on the battery cover not the lens.
View 49 Replies View RelatedOriginally I kind of dug the red accents on the phone. But the more I've played around with it (different themes, etc.), I've kind of gotten over the red ear piece and camera lens cover. I've been kicking around the idea of dying/changing the color of the ear piece black for starters. Not sure what I would do with the lens cover, maybe just wet sand and polish although I understand it fairly delicate and thin.
My HTC letters have already been removed since the H removed itself, so I decided to finish the job. So maybe I am just looking for a more stealthy look. Anyone else or am I just insane?
Ok i have a Desire Hd and i think it is awesome but just have a couple of questions:
1: Does anybody elses camera lens look a little off center when you look at it on the phone? (the sensor rather than lens i believe)
2: I thought it was powered by TomTom maps but mine says in the bottom of the map powered by route 66?
3: Do we really have to pay for voice guided navigation now after google made such a big deal about it being free? Anyone in uk get a voucher code included in the box to enable this?
4: Lastly (for now probably) In settings under LOCATION does anybody know what the 'Integrate Google Navigation' option is? It is unchecked by default and i cant find in the manual anything about it.
Recently I noticed some smudges in all of my photos (see attached pictures). I thought it was just a dirty lens but I took the lens cover off and cleaned the lens thoroughly. It's not the lens cover either because even with the cover off the smudges are still there. The lens itself seems pretty sealed with no easy way to open it up, plus it's a bit too risky for me to attempt since I don't want to break anything. I bought the phone in another country so taking it back to get it fixed is not an option. I looked back at all the pictures I've taken and it seems to show up all of a sudden. I don't think it's software related because it shows up in the stock camera app as well as 3rd party apps. Also, sometimes I get horizontal lines in my photos especially if there is a lot of white background (see pic#2). I'm not as concerned about that though.
P.S. I have a Galaxy S2 from T-Mobile.
Any bright ideas for keeping the phone off of the camera lens? I wish I could add feet on the four corners that would raise it above the lens on flat surfaces.
Do silicon covers raise it enough that the lens does not touch?
Even a small screen protector for the camera lens? Though I don't see that staying on as I slide the phone into my pocket.
I just got my SGP Steinheil Crystal Clear Screen protector in the mail today. As I was applying it I noticed that the little circular cutout for the optical trackpad is nearly perfectly sized for the camera lens! No more complaining about the lens getting scratched when you set it down!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm getting my Desire soon, and I'm worried about protecting the phone properly. Specifically, I've heard that people have problems with the camera lens getting scratched because the phone rests on it if you lay it down on its back. Are there any cheap cases out there that can help solve the resting-on-the-lens problem? A cheap gel case off of ebay would be ideal.Also, what other steps should I take to protect the camera lens?
View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically pulled my droid out of its trusty "sack" and was alarmed to see my lens, not the flash, shattered. Now wondering my options, trying to find a chat with Verizon Tech Support and about to contact Motorola but wanted to see if anyone has gone through this traumatic experience and get some wise advice for me. Hoping it is as easy as just replacing the lens cover.
