Macro Lense Attachment

Hey guys, i was wondeiring if you any of you would know if this
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953 would fit on the HD2? it looks really nice and i would like a macro lense for it, please get back to me thanks

All I can really say is "Wow". That's kinda crazy. I mean if it was detachable then that would be one thing but it looks like it takes the place of the standard bezel and uses the sticky tape to attach. No more putting the phone in your pocket or hip case at this point.

uhhm it is detachable! lol its connected using MAGNET or its magnetic i just want to knwo if it would fit for the HD2.

Macro lens provides better pictures for close up shots right?
Does this count? Lawl. It's a weird thing that I've obtained either from a broken microscope or something or from some camera. I found it laying around the house so I can't really remember where I got it from. All I know, this baby + any camera = excellent shots. The second picture is a close up of the cloth it was originally sitting on.

yeah that is correct, but im just curious about if that thing would fit on the back of a HD2 lol i know it fits on the evo4g just not sure about the HD2.

I remember seeing an article (possibly on Engadget) about one of these for the HTC Evo and I wondered if there was one for the HD2 at the time... I can't answer your question but I will be following your thread.

Yeh! thats exactly where i read it and i wondered the same thing! and then i thought maybe XDA would have the answers for me! haha

2 poisonwolf:
I bought a cheap kids 99p telescope and did get some magnification with it but not as much as yours, well done
I put mine on the back of my n95 but had to zoom in to the maximum to prevent the 'black tunnel' as seen in poisonwolf's second picture.
If you were to buy one, i'd make sure it fits properly so no extra zoom in is required.

Can't you just buy a something like a case mate and stick the lens on the cover?

yeah you could, but an extra layer could mean the magnet isnt as strong for it to stick. so i want to check if it were possible to fit on HD2 with out.

I've looked aound quite a bit for this but so far no go. The HD2 lens protection is moulded like a square blob. I doubt we can find anything that is manufatured with a square base.

but if you think about it. the camera is all round. just the outside is square, but therefore it is connected via magnet so i think regardless of square of cirle?

Anybody seen this?
I found this while browsing on ebay...

However it says it does not fit US version ...

Whats the diffrence for the US version?

that's the questioni had too, since my understanding was there's no difference except memory. but who knows, I'm not the expert. maybe someone shed light on this matter for us.

Universal 13mm Wide-Angle/0.67X Macro Lens Attachment

Do yall think this:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953
would fit onto the DINC?
If anyone has used a macro lens with the camera, how good was it?
What macro lens do you use?
etc.

I have this, ive been very impressed for only $11. Shipping took quite some time but I wasn't very concerned. If you keep the wide angle attachment on it's to heavy to stay on. I didn't purchase for this so no worries.

Cool! Does it fit well on the camera and does it get in the way of the flash at all?

Please post some pics. I am dying to find out how well it works. I need to replace my camera ring and lens cover and if I plan on getting this I want to do a little mod to my camera ring so that the magnet will stick to the ring without and external mods. Because if I am not mistaken the ring we have now is aluminum and we need to apply a ring around the camera so that the lens stays on with the use of magnets. Then again i might not know what I am talking about! But thats the way I think it work after looking into it a few days ago.

I really do not see much difference in this and the one I took. I used Camera360 and it was free.

sorry for the mix up.. 15mm version is the one i got.. i forgot to check if the magnet grabs the metal lens on the phone before i attached the metal ring.. wish i checked first.. either way it works good.. i notice no decrease in quality in the shots...

I made a DIY macro lens using the lens from a disposable camera (and made a taser out of the rest of it - super fun!).
Takes GREAT pictures.

batterycover reason for bad pics

Hi
Did just now try to take a picture with and without the backcover on the phone, and without it, the picturs just looks so much more colorful and nice. How do we fix this?
An example: img851[dot]imageshack[dot]us/g/img047d.jpg/
Change the [dot] to real dots. (duh)
Sorry for bad eng, but I hope you understand.

I also have this question after saw the LG VS iPhone photo and video quality test. The O2x's photo like have a white filter and non colorful .
I already ordered it and waiting for arrive. Can u post some compare photo? The original and without the back cover?
Is it possible to replace the Transparent part by DIY a higher quality glass/plastic?

It's night here, so only indoor photos, but you'll get the idea.
And WHY do LG-Home FC every single time I put it into USB Mass Storage? Need custom roms, now!
Anyways, here's the link to some photos packaged with winrar. The last two is shot in a half-dark room with the flash.
www[dot]megaupload[dot]com/?d=NRUVCSR0
Apparently I couldn't post links, so change the [dot] to actual dots.

Kruppin, I get "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later" when I try to download. Got another location to dl from?
Edit: Nevermind, the link is working again
Thanks!
I did try this myself now, but couldn't see any difference. But it might be because its dark here now and cant really get any good shots anyway.

Ofc you get it working right when i've uploaded it elsewhere. Hm, maby you've got a better glass, cus if i look through it, it's like "milky" or something. Anyway, another guy on swedroid noticed it too, so I thought it was for everyone.

Kruppin, yeah typical I'l probably try this tomorrow. Lets just hope there's a replacement cover to order somewhere soon if this really is the case
Btw, thanks for the info!

I tried this myself and i couldn't believe my eyes, the difference is pretty massive.
on the plus-side the camera is actually REALLY good without the back cover on

Yeah, it's like "Wait, I'm just gonna take the backcover of so I can get a decent picture"
But I just can't beleve LG made THIS of a big screwup, i mean, I don't know what to say, I'm speachless. And also they didn't say it had "gorilla glass" which only that can be deal-breakers for many. I think they rushed this phone alittle too much. Dont get me wrong, I love it, but it's some small things I just can't understand how they missed. If LG would replace the backcovers, then I would absolutly love them, but that wont ever happen so hopefully someone releases a replacement cover with a better glass, and looks as nice as LGs own.

Okay, some strong alcohol and very much polishing have made it almost as good as w/o. Yay. Just to polish with a cloth didn't work, which is why I made this thread. So try that.

Can you...somehow remove (gently) the plastic glass from the back cover?
edit, im looking at some pics of the back cover, seems impossible to remove it w/o damaging the rest....thank you LGGGGG

OReally?
What kind of tools should I use for the polishing?
Only alcohol is need? Any other material?

Question is: is it really the glass itself that causes the problem ?
Or could it be that because of the bad positioning of the lens cover fingerprints / dirt can easaly create a fatty film on the glass?

Did you polish the front AND back of the glass or just the side facing outwards?

sounds to me like it could be related to the light sensor being disturbed by the cover

Yes and no, it must be some bad glass, becouse it's enough to just have one fingerprint and the pics sucks again. Or if its too far from the actual lens, so its that what f*cks it up? (It kind of focuses alittle one the fat/dirt) However, I've never got this problem with any other phone, my old N900 for example doesn't care if it's got fingerprints or not. Ofc it doesnt have two glass like the LG have, but thats no excuse.
atkhobby: Yes, I polished both sides of the batterycover. I drained some "cottonsticks" (tops) with alcohol and just polished. BUT, when i touched the glass on the cover again, the picture is worse, but not as bad as first.
Maybe someone knows of something that make glas fat-resistent? I mean, some phones the screen just get fatty almost directly, and some is very resistant and can be cleaned easy.
And again, I hope you can understand my not so good english.

[Q] how to change samsung galaxy S camera glass......???

Hi all
i dont know how the hell the camera glass has been scratched hardly. the camera capured images is very blurry and very dull. is this part avaleble in market ??? tell me guys what should i do...???? i m posting image for the glass... plezz help me guys.....

apologies sir, but saying you dont know how it happened doesnt make sense

Akshay00smart, I'm not sure about the glass part but you can buy a replacement back piece that I think includes the camera glass.
http://stellatech.com/site_stellatech/articles.php?cid=1095
The item number is GH98-16686A,R price is €10.87
I would send the company an email and ask to make sure.

Your kind of answer is indeed much better.
Man...relax

I do have an issue with the scratched camera glass. However, changing the cover won't solve it since the cover doesn't include the glass.

OK,
Here are two possible parts from one website.

The problem is that the site doesn't sell to individuals, they do wholesale only.
Hope some can point to the right place.

i think a service cetre would replace the glass relatively cheaply and it is something you could ask for a price on over the phone, and they would probably fix while you wait or at most within 1 or 2 days

Yep, internal back cover does include the glass. However, the above first photo includes only the external back cover which doesn't include the glass.

i know this reply will not benefit the op but just want to keep this on record for someone else who might stuble here from google,
today i removed my old 5230's frame and tried to replace it with i9000's (it was of the same size) but when i tore the piece down, i came to know that the "frame" was attachedc to the body, like this
(the silver covering cane be removed) m talking about the "scratched part".. so no way to remove i shattered it to pieces and kept my old frame on the camera and tried to assemble the device, it dint assemble properly, and thus has a slight opening at the top right side(above the power button)... other things are working fine, the camera is no longer blurry (although i still need to test it in sunlight, will do it tommmo and report back) .. so in short , dont do it unless necessary, replace it with another back body, it'l save your hassle ...

[Q] Did Anyone Chrome Polish Their Kickstand?

Was looking around for people that have done it on blogs, asked a couple friends...etc
Was wondering if anyone on here have done the steps to chrome out your kickstand. I heard its ideal for people that have a peeling kickstand or just wanted to try it in general.
I came across this when searching google---> http://blog.whitesites.com/Chrome-HTC-HD2-Battery-Cover-Tutorial__634103488469591250_blog.htm
So i would expect it to be somewhat similar. I have a HD7 on the way today because i want to give Mango a try for a month or so.
So what do you guys think?
If this has been asked or done already please direct me, and i will give thanks.

I know that the kick stand is metal. I remember a thread quite a while back with people complaining about the clear coat peeling off. Mine is flaking and I've thought about sanding it down. I'm guessing you could follow any of the threads for some of the other devices; G2, Hd2, Nexus One, Sensation, etc, that posted how-to's on this. It shouldn't be too difficult.
I would however worry about dust getting into the phone unless you want to go to the trouble of taking your phone apart to remove the piece from the phone before working on it.
Post pics if you go for it. I would love to see the finished product.

I should tell you my kickstand was peeling off and it was horrible, so I continued peeling off till I got it completely removed and now it looks pretty nice, with a much more convincing chrome look.. Tomorrow I'll show you some pictures (3:30 AM here).

Havent tried to polish yet but i know i got a little spot on my kickstand that looks like its peeling off too like lauticol said 2 posts ago.
And i agree with lauticol when he said it looks like its more even or more like crome.. not like that ugly "original" somehow painted kickstandshape.

Well, here's the photos I promised, and also a video because I didn't knew if you could see it well through the pictures.. You may see some scratches (had an acciden ) but I'ts really beautifull, it was the best thing I did to my HD7 (talking about hardware obviously )
I'm thinking of a future project for my phone, "chrome polish" the little tier that says "HD7" because it has a little peeling off (But I don't know if the word "HD7" will be removed too).
I can't put the embed video player, but here's the link
