When I first got my Xperia the photos were great! Now just like my Kaiser did, the photos got blurry/fuzzy/aura feel to all of them no matter what software I load or what kind of photo I take.
The solution on the Kaiser was to pop the camera lens "protector" off and all my photos were CLEAR again. I think due to the nature of life my camera lens cover has micro scratches in it causing the camera to be crap.
Has anyone had the same issue and has anyone somehow removed that lens cover?
I have thought about just cutting it out but want to resell the phone in a few months when I get what I really want but in the meantime, I would like to enjoy clear photos.

I found out why my camera was somewhat foggy, or blurryish.
The part of my kaiser covering the camera on the back of the phone was scratched/scuffed. It has been giving me blurryish photos for some time now, and I always thought that the camera was just crappy.
I decided to take a photo with, and without the back.
The first image to the left is without the backing, and the image to the right is with the backing.
I just never thought that the back casing would get the quality of the photos to be bad.
this has already been discussed like in the threads telling people to take off the glass metal part thingy from the cover or just remove the battery cover for better pictures.
Agreed Search.
Just noticed a piece of dust or something in the exact center of the camera lens. I was at first annoyed, but it honestly did not seem to effect any pictures i took.
Just curious if anyone has seen this happening. Again, no real picture issue so not worth sending back or doing the heat press in my opinion.

I have this too, but it is impacting my pictures. Is there a way to remove the outer lens in order to clean out the debris?
i would call HTC and see if it qualifies for a warranty repair, you may have other dust getting in as well.
i wonder why my x1 makes blurry pictures with strange lights...now i know,there is a little scratch deep in the Camera Lens Cover..i have taken it out with a little hot needle...now it made better pictures then ever before,but its without protection...does someone knows where i can get a new camera lens cover or is there another solution?
I've just bought a second hand XPERIA X1 and I have had the same expreience at the first time but. After changing the casing, eerythuing is better. Honestly, my very old nokia is better than X1 camera. I wonder it's caused by bad manufactured or the gadget is old
My Z1 camera lens cover seems to have a lot of scratches, his is very bad effect on the quality of the captured images, is anyone have this problem before, can this cover repaced.

I am not aware of anyone running into this issue before. If you set it on a rough surface or a surface with granules of sand, then that could definitely be the culprit. As far as replacing the lens goes, there is currently no way to get a hold of a replacement lens as far as I know.
If you mean the inside phone part then you'll have to replace the entire camera part. If you mean just the part that you can touch with your finger then you'll need to replace the back glass.
I'm having the same issue, there are some spots on top of the lenses on my phone that won't go away and *all* my photos are have the white color over exposed plus focusing is never sharp enough like other phones, I bought the phone the way it is now and I'm going to replace the back glass to see if it helps.
Soo I have had my Xperia Z3 Compact for 2 years now and yeah the camera wasn't the best but it just started to degrade and now it looks like sh*t literally,I have Carbon ROM 5.1 running which is Nougat and I thought if I flashed the Sony Camera Mod and Cyberian with it it would be better,and yes it did get better but I still cannot get good shots in moderately lit situations,only I can get a good shot is on a very sunny day,and the front camera isn't very good either,looks pixelated. And no,no dust entered the camera since the phone was dissasembled recently and cleaned from everything.
So my question is how can I make the camera usable since I am a camera heavy user since I use Snapchat almost all the time and I cannot live without the camera.
And as for the speaker it just seems to be quiet,I always take my bluetooth speaker since the speakers on the phone are very quiet and yes I removed that waterproofing thing from them and the speakers are new since I got the whole front panel changed.
Any suggestions will be taken for granted.
Clean the camera protective cover with toothpaste until you remove the blue anti reflective coating.
Small scratches on the coating will ruin the picture.

From the outside of the back cover or the inside?

Front camera is quite bad, can't help your there.
In my experience the glue strip which holds the screen and back to the frame slowly lets go, so dust settles in.
If yours is clean, good, but not for long.
Replacement double sided tape is worse quality than the factory tape was.
Some repair services use two double sided tapes to compensate the flex and keep the screen in place.
Snapchat doesn't work well with sony.
I have used z1c, z3c and xc ... with all of them snapchat somehow ruins the picture / video quality.
Because it has to downsize 23 mpix sensor data and doesn't have time or processing power to do it correctly, so it uses previews :

Make picture with the phone camera app and then use that in snapchat.

Found some more about snapchat
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/64xqv0/snapchat_recording_quality/
Snapchat is purposely bad on Android. When you open Snapchat:
both of your phones cameras turn on, the front and back.
both cameras STAY on, even if you are not using them. Even if you are just chatting, watching stories, etc. Ever notice how hot your phone gets and how fast your battery drains? Ta-da!
when you take a picture, it does NOT take a "picture", it is a screenshot of what is displayed on your screen.
Recording a video? It's just a screen record, not an actual video recording using the phones camera.
If you just click home instead of backing out or killing Snapchat, the cameras will continue to run in the background and your battery will go down super fast.
I have similar experience, phone get really warm when sending several snaps and battery depletes super fast.

I know how Snapchat functions and the way it functions is absolutely rubish.
Well my camera isn't like foggy,it is just pixelated. I just need this phone to hold for 6 more months and it can rest in peace.
Taking pictures through the stock camera isn't as bad because the camera app removes the noise anf the pixelation,but in Snapchat it just doesn't look good,and in the viewfinder in the camera app it is the worst.
