Scratched camera lens cover

I know that the quality of the camera is not the best in to world but until recently the quality was usable for notes and quick snaps.
My tilt is only 2 months old and on close inspection the clear window on the battery cover has become scratched.
Is there a good method of buffing out the scratches or a source of replacement windows??
If I remove the battery cover, I can take nice clear photos. The same thing has happened to my wife's N95

u can puncture out the panel, but i wouldn't recommend it due to risk of scratching the lens. It may be tedious to buffing out the panel so its best to just buy another back cover.

Here's what I did...
1. Remove the back battery cover.
2. While holding the silver ring/speaker cover in place, carefully push out the lens glass from the inside of the battery cover.
(The lens glass is just glued in so it isn't hard to push out)
3. Try to buff out/clean the lens glass and replace it with a dab of glue.
(I left mine off completely since it greatly improves picture & vid quality)
4. Replace the back battery cover.
(If you can't fix the scratch, you may have to buy a whole new back battery cover--I haven't found anyone who just sells the lens glass)
They're about $20 all over eBay and here...http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-black-battery-cover-p-3157.html

Blurry camera

I have been having very blurry photos and thought it was the lens but it came to be somehow the battery cover pladtic lens cover is scuffed up..it looks like just surface scuffs does anyone recommend a good way to buff these out? I know they make things for car headlights that will get rid of scuffs and surface scratches..any alternatives for smaller scales for this case?

Some might suggest popping off the back cover plastic piece out.
I tried a few things to clean it, didn't do much. And it gets scuffy again sooner or later.
Me, i just drilled a small 2-3mm hole in the plastic piece where the camera lens looks through.

Sure it's not Chromatic Aberation?

The lens cover on my original HTC TyTN II battery cover appears to be coated thin glass so if yours is plastic that's a worry. As is, my camera suffers from Chromatic Aberation and thats something I learnt about here at xda-dev

If it's just the coating coming off (perhaps due to contact with fingerprint sweat), you could contact HTC/your hardware provider and see what they say about getting a warranty replacement.

Using dry a q-tip, I rubbed the coating off the lens window inside and out, and the pics are bright and clear now.

I took my plastic camera battery off. haven't had a problem since.

Oh what is a plastic camera battery. I want one, or do I?

Dont forget the importance of cleaning both sides

Along with mention that cleaning it on both sides also helps (in the comments at the bottom). The problem is of course that just by using the phone you are likely to get fingerprints all over it again. My solution is to carry a Klearscreen cleaning cloth with me in my Windows Mobile version of a laptop bag. I use that for both the screen and camera lense cover when I need to take pics.

Help to buy and change front camera lens cover.

Hello guys, I'm french so sorry for my english.
I would like to change the front camera lens cover (plastic), because there's dust stuck on it, and it's impossible to remove it because when I changed the top cover speaker grill, i did the mistake to put glue on it, now i can't take selfie anymore because the plastic is full of glue.
So I would like to find a website, to buy one front camera lens cover, I'm thinking of cutting a screen cover protection in circle to fit.
Can you help me please ? Thank you so much.

Please help I melted my camera lens

Guys, I thought our lens was made of glass and tried to melt the scratched coating, the lens was made of plastic, I'm about to buy a new lens, I want to know if I damaged the underlying lenses, the ones inside the camera module, to know if I must buy a new camera module altogether or just the exterior lens

You know, you could also take a pic with another phone or camera and show us the damage so that we can get an clear idea of what you mean.....
In any case I assume you burned the glass that is attached to the back cover it is basically a protector for the cameras actual lens.
Here you can get the back cover that comes with the glass you destoryed.

Camera lens durability/scratch proof?

Hello everyone I bought this phone for the camera.
I have read a few different reports where people say the camera lens scratches really easily but other reports are saying it has scratch proof glass, which is it?
I want to keep the lens protected if easily scratched but these lens covers/protectors look like they will ruin the quality of photo.
Any answers or advice here please?

Hi, the lens is protected by tempered glass, keys and coins, even razor blade cannot scratch it.
And for a lens cover, I saw some on Amazon.

Recently, somebody here reported breaking the cover and had to buy a new one. The lens are probably more sturdy though.

I have my phone in a good protective case and I have a tempered glass screen protector.
My concern is the camera lens on the rear scratching so really I don't know if I should continue with a lens protector and lose some image quality or leave it off as the lens is pretty durable. I cannot get any factual answer either way.

I am not sure about posting a direct link to Amazon, but currently utilizing the kit available for $7.89 (by UPONEW) and do not notice a change in image quality.

I do have a similar product on my lens, some images look great but sometimes they look a little off in areas and cannot work out if it is this lens protector. If I know the lens has good scratch proofing I would remove it!

I scratched my rear camera lens within weeks of owning. Only a tiny scratch even though I have a decent case and have tried my best to look after it. Pictures are unaffected. You can get a new lens for very cheap online so I'll probably do that if it gets worse.

I worry about the lens protector I have on and picture quality, certain areas of my pictures always look a little blurred or lower quality. Is this a focus thing on camera settings or the screen protector do you think?

The only thing I can suggest is if you still have the second lens protector ( the link says 2 pack...) us to take a bunch of photos In various lighting, then remove the protector and take the same photos again so you can compare. You can always put the spare protector back on afterwards.
