Got my p7 since 1 month, but after 1 week my back camera was full of scratches...
Anyone else got this issue?
Is there any way to remove them ?
thank
I haven't like that issue
The rear camera, sadly, isn't protected by Gorilla Glass. It's just some oleophobic coating.
You can try polishing it a little with toothpaste, watch the video below:

Same problem here. You can try cutting a round piece of screen protector and putting it on the camera.

Same problem, the first big scratch came after just few days. Luckily scratches don't seem to affect photo quality.
The scratches are caused by a layer above the real glas, which should reduce fingerprints. As described in a German forum, I used a knife just to scratch about the glas and to remove the layer. After cleaning with a wet fabric, the lense was like it was at the beginning. I hope u understand what I tried to figure out. If not, I could describe it more detail..

Hi mate, thanks for the tip, is it safe to scratch it? I mean if I scratch it with a knife, will it damage the real glass underneath it?
Yes, the glass got no single scratch. But the metallic ring may get, so be careful at the border. Another tip written in the mentioned thread was to use politure, which should work even better..

I still don't think it's worth ruining the camera lens.

The camera lens is bellow the cover, so you are not ruining it, just exposing it. Also the cover comes out without permanent damage, so you can always glue it back in again.
It makes a dramatic difference to picture quality - no more blurry pictures.
Here's an example picture with the lens cover off.

this is a very stupid idea..to remove the lens glass that not onlyprotects your camera lens, but also helps avoid dust accumulating inside your camera...why do this for a very miniscul improvement....not only do u void ur manufacturer one year warrenty but also any chance of getting a warrenty/insurance with att or tmobile which do give insurance on their phones(even though they dont carry the phone u could trick them into thinking its a wing...possibley then making them replace your tilt with a tytn iV or touch pro if they get it...POSSIBLEY)
seriously..just stick to the fixes like nadavis camera fix, the resoluton and shutteroff tricks and whatever else fixes people have come out with cuz they dont void your warrenty...and trust me the drivers will come sooner or later. If not from HTC it will be developed by another brilliant soul from the touch pros drivers or another new devices drivers some how or some other way...just be patient fella.
It's not really anything to do with driver of software fixes, there is a real problem with the hardware design in that interior dust and exterior smears accumulate on that little window and ruin perfectly good pictures. I'm not convinced that removing the window is the best answer, but it does at least bring a clear improvement that no amount of software tweaking ever will.
What's really needed is a bit of foam or something inside to at least keep the dust out. I might look into that.
Just take the battery cover off when you want to take a picture. Seems a lot easier to me.

Really? I always find it's really difficult to actually get that cover off, and that's probably for the best too - I wouldn't want to make it loose and rattly.

Ive tried taking the battery cover off for a while. It has the same effect, but of course:
a) you look pretty weird taking pictures with your battery cover off.
b) it takes some time to do, meaning you cant take spontaneous pictures.
c) I feel the battery may fall out when doing doing this.
I think it may be a good idea to put a small foam ring around the hole to keep dust out, but so far its not been a gigantic issue. Remember the dust cant possibly get under the screen, as its a separate assembly to the base where the camera is, so a bit of dust is not necessarily a big deal.

Clean the cover
Why not just clean the cover? I got some Meguiar's PlastX clear plastic cleaner and spent 5 minutes cleaning the cover. I then wiped the cover down with a lens cleaning wipe. The whole process took about 7 minutes. I took a picture with the cover off (the whole back cover) and with the cover on after cleaning. They look exactly the same.
Hi guyz!
I just wanted to share my experience with my o2x those days... For a long time I was getting some blury photos with a bit of too much brighnes, and I didnt know what to do. After a lil accident with my phone, the backcover of the phone, the little black plastic that covers the camera was cracked in the corner. So I decided to just remove it and dont give a f**k
Thats the sh*t Im talking about, the little black thing there
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19114954/cameraLOL/plastika i tako to.jpg
Well, I did that and this is what happend... here is a compare of my photos with the black cover to the left, and without the plastic cover to the right.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bk3uao0amwmhwwc/before-after.jpg
P.S. The plastic glass that covered my cam wasnt damaged and I was cleaning it...
Everyone can try it, take a picture with your backcase and then remove the backcase and take a picture again
Hope someone is gonna be happy like me !!!

oh... wrong image thats the weekend brain emmc eraser, but I'll leave...
This ONE
Just stick it and remove it... as scotch isn't very strong tape, it only removes the fat and leaves the transparent plastic in perfect clean state!
use it on all surfaces, try out on the screen first, you'll see how it works!
That's the old trick with our optimus There are threads mentioning this,some people got better results some don't see any difference
I removed plastic cover from mine long time ago and have some improvement
yes, when I want good pictures I remove the back cover, but I would like to buy another back cover and remove that piece of plastic just in case I want to protect it again with the original one.

Omg man, you're awesome. I took a picture with the cover before cleaning the plastic, another after cleaning it and one without the cover, I'm amazed!
With the plastic clean the picture is as good or maybe better than without the cover, it's amazing!
Before cleaning it the camera performed really bad. Too bad that the plastic gets oiled so easily, but this tape trick works and very very good, thank you very much

Yes, old discussion
With the plastic cover of the sensor (why LG did it??) we have to take care (clean) of:
1) external side of the plastic
2) internal side of plastic
3) external side of sensor
P.S. plus... scratches/abrasion in the transparent plastic cover (internal and external..).
Doing this, there are no doubts: the qualty improvement is a fact.

Before cleaning the plastic glass, and after.
Awesome change!
tapatalked with LG P990
Awesome
wow what a major difference, shame the phone is a fingerprint, grease magnet
I don't have this plastic cover for year maybe, it just felt of
I've removed the plastic and the improvements are amazing. But still, it's a really bad camera..
Using other apps instead the stock camera the quality improves. Camera360 works good with this phone
Improve the input, and the output improves
this is few sample from last night that i post here i try many way but unfortunately all of the picture get effect of horizontal line light in all of picture
is any body can give me a tip what shall i do ?
iam using latest version 14.1G.2.257 rooted

So you removed everything what can obstruct the camera. Right? ... the lens are perfectly clean, no screen protector or something like that and you try again to do some pictures and they still bad?

the original back protector is removed but i think there is one thin layer which is attached originally by Sony to protect surface of back side of it and it is hardly removable
the place of the lens is cut in circle ,
what you think?
i will make more picture and inform you

On mine there is not any thin layer on the lens, just a round silver aluminum frame and glass, you should easily recognize a glass from any kind of plastic protector and probably there is not any, it can't be.
Anyway try testing, because the camera can't have any plastic protector on it to working properly.
If you do not find any solution go to the store and ask for a replacement via warranty.
EDIT: Ok, I finded what you said, is kind of shatter resistant screen protector but is not on the lens because they cut it out properely, so if there is not anything which obstruct the camera you definitely should go via warranty for a replacement.

that should be it, don't remove the last layer as it's not supposed to block the camera.
if the problem is still there mybe one of your camera lens are defective :/

Hello, did you managed to solve this issue? Did it start happening right away or did it happen after doing something specific? I hadn't noticed this until today and I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but today I tested the water proofness of the phone.
Hi all,
I just noticed a dark mark behind the phone right beside the NFC logo and it's quite obvious from certain angles.
I don't use the phone extensively - messaging, twitter, instagram, non graphic intensive games.
Anyone know what caused the mark? I suspect its the processor or graphic chip.
Do you think it's a valid reason to head down to the repair centre and is it covered under warranty?
Thanks.

Looks like you have a screen protector... maybe it's that?
There's a blue z1???
It's more obvious in the 2nd and 3rd photos.
It's a dark square right beside the nfc logo and it's quite difficult to show with a camera
I'm posting to see if I am the other one or if there's others like me too.
I have a white Z1 and I can't see anything below or around the nfc icon
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have a white one also and I can see a sort of "halo" around the NFC from certain angles with certain lights, but nothing worth saying!
EDIT: Now I see, looks like it's about 1"x1" darker spot on the left? Seems rather weird indeed, do you have a protector on this side? You can look at a disassembly video to see if it's close to a processor... Surely is weird!
I can see the square from your pictures and I can say this, back cover is in glass and there is not way that any chip or whatever can do such a thing. Only 2 things can be, 1- the paint of the back cover (which I suppose is not on the glass but is under), 2-Back Plastic protector. I will suggest to take off first the plastic back protector and check if the square still there.
Hi all,
Thanks for your help.
I removed the protector but the mark is still there, so it's on the phone itself.
I'm thinking if the mark got to do with the chip heating up the paint or back panel thus causing the dark mark?

This protector behind is in case you break the glass to not hurt you...and i think it's impossible to heat sufficiently to make a dark mark like that.

The glass has a sticker protector, all Z1 have it in both side.
If you watch this YouTube clip. There is actually a square heatshield for a chip in that region behind the back cover. Maybe that would cause it. I don't know if my eyes tricked me but it looked like his back cover also had that square.

Have ordered 2 tempered screen protectors off eBay and both don't fit properly at all(people just capitalize on new products to make a quick buck). Can anyone link me to a screen protector that actually covers entire screen and doesn't mess up sound or functionality of phone, thanks
I read somewhere in the forums that this one covers the full area -> HERE
My still has not arrived, but I am optimistic about it.

I owned the one by local seller which linked above. I've never seen such a terrible screen protector ever. The black frames of the protector are wider than device's so it decreases the screen visibility in very tiny amount. It's material is horrible, decreases the screen visibility under the sunlight(Reflections). Although it's perfectly applied, 2 days later a rainbow lake is appeared on the bottom which really sucks. One last thing, there are little dots all around which makes TFT display effect or something, im using it just because i couldn't any other. This also sucks but better than the second protector below in attachment.
The one is linked above:

Hi again. I got the protector. I am attaching some pictures with it, and also some extra shots with the iMatch case for the Mix.
The protector fits perfectly compared to others I have, I am really satisfied. It is a bit strange, because it basically sticks only on the sides(the darker parts on the pics) and not the whole area like the other protectors, but it does not make any difference to me since there are no disatvantages from this for now. Another thing to mention is that it is a fingerprint magnet, which is a minus.
For the case - i am posting it in case anyone is interested in it also.
P.S. @Konsstantine34 have some point in his comments. I thing the main advantage of it is indeed that it is the most "fullscreen" I could find and that it sticks right on this curved screen. My previous one started to unstick on the edges just like Konsstantine's.
