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.

Hi,
i have a black dot on pictures and movies, that are taken with my galaxy s.
do anyone have a clue where it comes from and how to fix that?
Looks like some dust particle.
any chance to fix it by myself, or do i have to send it in?
Looks like something is directly in front of the camera.
If it is on the outer glass you could easily remove it, but I guess it's on the inside of the camera glass.
Unless you open it yourself/let someone open it you're SOL I guess.
I have a similar problem, but it is not as pronounced.
Probably dirt or a hair that got into the camera.
If you cannot see the anything on the glass or the lens then it is a problem with the camera module. I have the same problem but it is less visible then yours, i opened up my phone clean the lens but nothing change.
Send it to warranty center if you dont want to lose your warranty.
Has anyone else noticed an accumulation of dust and/or other particulates under the front facing camera lens cover? I've had my phone since May, always in a case, and now there is enough stuff between the actual lens and the cover that it is now showing up on pictures.
I know that, out of the two speaker grilles, this is the one that has a screw holding it on, but does anyone know of a way to clean this out? I fear I may have to give it over to Sprint or even HTC to get it cleaned out, because I doubt they would trade it in over this.

Sorry to bump my own thread, but I have a hard time believing no one else has either experienced this or has any idea of what I should do...
Mine has this problem too. If it gets bad enough that it starts affecting picture quality I'm going to go to the Sprint store and see if they do something about it.
Hey Guys,
I'm running the most recent firmware and have started to notice some fairly serious problems with white balance on my camera.. I honestly don't use it that much, but i hadn't noticed anything this bad. The problem is consistent whether I'm using Auto mode or semi auto and i've noticed that adjusting some of the settings makes it less intense but it's still present either way.
This first photo here was taken during a sunset the colour on the left is almost okay, the colour on the right is washed out and grey
Note the gradient , the left hand side of the the photo was under slightly lighter conditions (sun was over that way before it set): https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3ju8rxr5hok5hj/DSC_0279.JPG?dl=0
This photo here was outside during day: Note the sunlight actually flaring into the picture, this happens anywhere there is a lot of light next to solids:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rp517a7dcjc0r69/DSC_0281~01.jpg?dl=0
Any suggestions? Should i try to return this under.... warranty, actually are these things still even under warranty??
Cheers guys.

Warranty depends on the country - if you can, it's better to get a replacement rather than attempt to fix yourself.

Hey.... Thanks mate, i am not sure if it is something I can fix myself, or whether it's even hardware related, hopefully someone else see's this thread who can give me some insight into whether this is just bad BIONZ related or it's a hardware problem.
Anyone got any idea?
I'm not really an expert, but it looks like a flash bleed to me
Thanks for the reply mate... Unfortunately it happens anywhere there is a significant amount of daylight, with flash disabled same results unfortunately... I've noticed I get lines through the photos on macro shots if there is insufficient lighting too...
Would love to know whether this is a standard Z1 issue or a latest firmware issue or my camera is screwed? Also whether any of the custom roms address this?
cheers
The first image makes me think you might have some problem with your lens. Did you look at it under a strong light and check for visible damage like scratches?
That doesn't look software related, something's up with the lens or the glass that protects the lens. Is it smudged or scratched or anything?
nah it's definitely clean, routinely clean it... so looks like it's physically hardware related then. I had some water into this thing once, which they fixed by replacing the casing and cleaning... Is there anything which the water could have wrecked that they should have replaced perhaps?

Ahh water damage, they just cleaned it and replaced the case? I'm guessing the camera got affected as well. Usually with lenses if it comes in contact with any moisture it might get screwed up. Maybe they should've replaced the camera :/
How much water damage was there? Like, did a lot of water get in your device?
I don't think it was a heap, was enough to stop the thing booting, intermittently so I guess a bit... Might see if i can get it fixed under warranty then, given that my last warranty fix didn't address this current problem. Don't like my chances though, might be time to get a z3...
Alright, I was an idiot and managed to crack my glass camera lens cover. I purchased this : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RKFAZ5I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and did the replacement, but my pictures appear sort of "hazy" or "foggy" for lack of a better term. I can still get it to focus really well, but the pictures don't pop like they used to.
The only thing I did while replacing that could have caused problems was using compressed air while the old cover was off to ensure none of the shattered glass was left in the actual camera lens mechanism. I made sure to hold the can at an angle so that none of the liquid came out, but i did notice the lens mechanism moving around (almost like a hockey puck) as the air interacted with it. I assumed this sort of free floating lens design had something to do with the optical image stabilization, so it didn't seem like a big deal. I put the new cover on with clean hands and thought everything was fine until I started taking pictures again.
Has anyone replaced the camera lens cover and experienced a similar issue? I've ordered another one to take another shot at it, and I'm actually going to take some test pictures while the cover is removed just to see if I did actually damage the lens itself...
I have the jump protection, but would rather fix it myself than pay 175 for a refurb that I'm going to replace in 4 months anyways.
Why not replace the whole back camera?
I dont know how easy is to remove the lens cover but check if pictures taken without cover are foggy or not. If foggy then camera lens is dirty, if sharp - camera lens cover is a problem.

My guess is it got moisture behind the lense, or the lense was dirty.
When they create that hardware it is sealed in 0% humidity. If it was even a rainy day when you installed the lense, it could have caused it to fog up.

What I did was pull mine back and clean it with some alcohol and a q-tip
Is there a part number for that?

Thanks, might give that a shot if it doesn't clear up with the next lens cover.
Did you peel the plastics on both sides of the lens cover? Also check if it's actually focusing. Maybe slap the phone and see if it refocuses. Afterall there are moving parts in there.
Is there a genuine saphire lens cover to buy anywhere? I to used the cheap replacement cover and my pictures are blurry and bad in bright light. My camera itself should be fine though.
Multiple sites have reported on this. Just curious if anyone here has had it happen. I've had my P7 since launch, and looking closely at the camera glass, it all looks good. I live in the south, and this seems to have just started, and some are saying it the weather change, or maybe a new batch that went out with a defect.
Pixel 7’s Camera Glass Keeps Breaking
It took a few months before we got to this point, but Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro may have found their first big issue. A growing number of people are experiencing a spontaneous break in the glass that covers their cameras. The first reports of this date back to early December and have...

Apparently that's a problem and Google is aware of it. Don't know what the solution might be.
Looking at multiple photos of the glass being broken really is confusing. They are breaking in the middle of the camera lens. If it was stress breaking it from heat change I would think it would crack around the edge by the frame, not directly over the lens. It almost looks like a bad batch that put the camera lenses too close to the glass somehow. Just my guess.

Yeah, it's something in the manufacturing process that screwed up it seems. A big problem though is that even though they will gladly replace the device it will be a refurb and that seems unfair after paying for a new phone. But we'll see what they do. I can't see them sending out new devices though.
I have a case...problem solved...
Just got mine. So no issues yet with the glass
It's just a coincidence that allot of people are rough with there phones and then complain when the glass breaks to try get a refund, glass just will not spontaneously shatter like.
