Hey people, look at these 2 pictures, that I just have taken:
With the backcover on:

And without:

As you can see, there is a big difference. Hmm, why haven't HTC done something to this problem?
Are you sure you were at the same distance?
And what about the focus point? It seems a bit different between the 2 pics.....

Yes I'm very sure about that. I have tried with more pictures.
did you stick a 'lense protector' on the cover's lense screen? like if you stuck on a full body protector like invisibleSHIELD there'll be a piece for the lense cover too.
Or, did you forget to peel off the original one?

Haha, no i'm not that stupid Nothing "protection" is on.
the "lens" that is part of the back cover is obviously not optically neutral. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Without the back cover, the Diamond takes decent pictures, still slow on focusing and shutter release(you should see the Samsung F480, this little fellow shoots pictures almost like a normal digital cam) but pretty good for a 3.2 MP cam.
WITH back cover however, the pictures look like crap to me. Sometimes it looks like if the pictures have been taken through light fog and I can clean the lens cover as much as I want(not easy, tiny little bastard), after some time, the lens gets dirty/whatever again. Horrible, HTC definetely needs to find a better solution.

It will "destroy" the backcover? hmm. And when the mirror is gone, dust can easier come into the camera lens?

Yes, of course the quality will increase, when a cheap plastic cover is removed But hmm, my Diamond is 2 days old, and I don't want to already destroy a part of the cover

well ideally you should or you should remember not to put you fingers on the lens (not an easy task given the camera position i know) but lets be fair here, i mean its not as if you would take your stand alone digital camera, smear you greasy hands over the lens all day (+ let dust collect on it) and then expect it to take perfect pics...
be practical, if you remove the case screen for long you are gonna end up with scratches on the actual camera lens! and that's not easily replaceable now is it (not like the back cover...) lol

yah i know
im jast saying when we want to clean it

What we need is a back cover with a piece of glass in place of the piece of plastic which covers the lense.
This seems like the only solution to me.
Its because the plastic isnt very durable, it does mist up the photos. If you look on coolsmartphone.com ive also took some pictures and they looked alot better without the back plastic cover on.
I just hope someone somewhere is reading this as i would pay for a back cover with glass instead of plastic lense cover.
The pictures are alot sharper and arent misty without the cover on.

Your right!
white balance
Granted the backcover lens protector doesn't do justice to this phone. Adjusting the white balance does for improvement (say the lighhtbulb mode) I find. Again the camera does let this phone down, compared to others of similar spec. Can a software tweak solve the lag in motion when shooting in video mode at all? Is it as a 'simple' case as that I wonder!?
I just did some test shots with my xda diamond from germany and I honestly cant see a difference. can you tell which one is taken with the cover off?
Herro peoples!
I want to buy a skin for my Nexus (not a "case").
I was wondering if there is a skin out there that is pure white. What I mean by that is a skin that is just white, with no menu button designs, NOTHING but white. If there is a white skin with cut outs for the menu buttons (so that they appear black when not turned on and glow white when active) I would be more interested in that though.
I desperately want to turn my "white" nexus to a completely white phone . If there is another way to do this besides skins, like changing the face cover or whatever please tell me.
Thanks ahead of time!
...Could I suggest a spray paint bottle ?
You can buy a bezel online and paint it white. You can also get an already white back cover. That's the whitest you'll get, since there's no screen with a white portion.

My phone is already the white Nexus S from Telus so the battery cover won't be needed. I might try the bezel.
Unique skins (http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Samsung/Custom+Samsung+Nexus+S+Skin?t=c) and decalgirl (http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/Samsung-Google-Nexus-S-Skins) both have a white skin... Unique skins also let's you make your own skins so I can make a solid white one. I'll try that before anything else. Only worries are that the skins won't cover the 2 sides of the front screen that are black, only the other areas (only the top speaker area and bottom buttons area). I'd get upset if that happened lol. So I am going to end up getting a pure white case too

The decal girl one looks like it has sides (and there's a solid white one). Dunno about the uniqueskin one. Since you already have a white back cover, there's only the bezel left.
Edit: It has the buttons though. >_>

Eh I;m actually not that upset about t having buttons I'd still get it LOL. Tough choices... I either make my own solid white skin on unique skin without (assuming) buttons or get the decagirl one with buttons... Which would look nicer?
Just to help you out some, I was trying to find actual pictures of the Decalgirl skin on a nexus s, I found one review. Here is a good idea what the phone would look like with the skin on, you just have to imagine it white Like I said in my thread about Decalgirl skins, when mine arrives I'll take some pictures. Hope this helped!

No problem always willing to help!
I believe when you get the skin you don't have to use the cutouts, you can leave them on to cover up, we shall find out tomorrow or Friday.

I went ahead and bought one too and a white case. So when they come in the mail I'll slap them on and post pics in the thread I opened up.
The pics are already posted, here is a link to my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447778
I listed these in the For Sale section but figured you guys would have interest.

There's a white and black both barely used great condition.
I am interested and what are the requirements to receive it ?
I just sold the white one for 15. If you interested in the black let me know. I'm sure we can set something up.
is there a chance to get my IncS complete in white? the back cover in white looks great but i guess it doesnt look nice with a black front.
The link doesn't work for me. Link a picture please.
Hi. Do you still have the black one?
is the white 1 still available?

Quite fancy the red one - but how do you change the front cover? My workmanship skills extend only to changing the occasional lightbulb...

Paint front face?
By the way, I have detached the front facing case(only the frame around the screen). Beacuse it was streched a little.
Now the question is, can I paint this part. And if possible how
Hello, so yesterday i noticed some scratches on the camera lens and i can feel them with fingernails.So i googled about scratches on lens and almost everywhere they said it does not affect pictures that much but when i try to take pics with my SP they turn out to be fuzzy/blurry.Im afraid the warranty doesnt cover it too
Any advice what should i do?
Sorry for my english and if this thread is in the wrong section feel free to move it
after 2 months the camera lens looks terrible. im not using protective case but it is in pocket on its own no keys or lighter next to it. somehow the camera LENS got nice scratches. there is a purple color shine on the lens like on eyeglasses which supposed to be scratch resistant layer but it has gone completely. since the lens is not covered physically i have to clean the fine dust off the lens to take photo. what i see the on closer look is that the scratches are drawing circles that makes me think the lens is so soft material that the cleaning causing the scratches. i guess its plastic. i havent checked it yet but after replacing it ill do a test. i ve found on sony support forum a link where u can buy replacement lens which is by description 100% glass.
interesting that the screen itself is very durable but this tiny round lens is a crap. disappointing from sony. very stupid mistake of chosing this material for such a nice phone. i am thinkin to call them and make a complaint. :crying:
Yup, mine is scratched too, every photo looks like Joan Collins c1986.
I believe it's just stuck on so should be easy to replace.

faulty assembly?
My mate said that purple layer is a kinda filter (flare,uv or whatever) supposed to face to camera. Is that possible?

or on ebay.
I have the same problem, and I just bought one.
Here's a question for people who have changed it : do you have to unscrew the back of the phone (not just the back cover) or can you change it directly ?
From what I've seen, the lens and the "camera ring" might be "glued" directly, but might as well have to come off from the inside.
Another thing, there's one screw that's not directly visible, it's under the antenna, at the bottom of the phone...
Some help would be really appreciated !
Thx
I managed to get the ring off with just my finger nails, the ring and lens are two separate pieces, when the ring is off, the glass sits in a recess, so may be a bit tricky to remove.

Is there any purple coating on the replacement lens? If no than its just a plain glass and not like the original. I will just polish off the coating. On photo there is sharp area just as the clean area of the lens.
Thanks for the tip @technaudio.
@r1kkHUN : I'll tell you when I get it, but since it's an original part, I guess it'll be there, i'd make no sense otherwise.
Good luck with the polishing, I'm affraid I doubt it'll solve the problem though.
T cut or some fine rubbing compound that you polish a car with might work?

Hi.
Just got the new lens, and changed it.
Easy and fast, and the result is perfect, and for only 11€
There isn't any purple coating on the new one I got, but it seems to be okay, I'll try to take pictures in the sun as soon as the weather gets better.
I did a little guide about it on a french forum, if you want to have a look at the pictures.

Bye and thanks again.
Last few weeks I've noticed some stains on any pictures taken with my phone's (rear-facing) camera. They have been getting progressively worse as well... I think there's dirt somewhere but after taking the phone (partially) apart and cleaning the inside & outside of the back cover in plus the outside of the camera module nothing has changed.
Any opinions? Should I get a new camera module or can I somehow clean this one? Did I do something wrong with my phone or is this normal?
Attached is a picture of a clean white surface, which does not look very clean on the picture!
Thank you for any information!

It looks like there is some dirt on the sensor, or between sensor and the lens. Let it be cleaned in Samsung service.
