I see that this issue had been raised on the sprint htc one forums with no solution so I thought I'd try here. Recently dust has started getting behind the glass infront of the front facing camera. Its getting to the point where this is making my pictures noticably worse. Does anyone else have any experience or advice with this?

Removing the dust is the best advice I can think of. Better to ask an expert to do it for you, disassembling this phone is a pain.

Yeah, that would obviously be best! I really have no idea how it go in there though, there's no damage to the glass or around the front camera. I did sent by rear camera to be replaced because of the purple tint but I don't think that caused it.

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.
Hello everyone,
I was about to buy the htc one, but they are out of stock atm.
so went home watch some reviews and stumble across this video

He mentions a lot of build quality problems.
Can people with the phone confirm this?
Screen problem with light coming from the edge? dust on screen because of that? Sounds like a big problem, hope its just his model.
Also input lags, is he exaggerating things ? or can it be fixed by a buildprop command?

I have seen 4 HTC Ones. 2 with gaps and 2 without. You can return them and just state that is has build defect. Some stores will let you exchange it once and some twice but they will not keep opening boxes until you find a perfect one. The best advice I can give you is to open it in the store with a sales assistant present so they can see that it has a defect. And before you hand over your money be sure to ask if you can return it if there's a defect once they say okay for returning with defects, then open it in front of them.
Death grip?
THanks for the advice i'll definitely do that !
i saw another video who mention the death grip like with the iphone.

can u guys confirm this?
No death grip here there are always going to be people who find faults. I mean if that's all you look for you are bound to find something. I suggest you chill and get the One open it up and just love it for what it is. You will not be disappointed.

it just get me that htc has such a poor quality control.. i'll be waiting for them to get things right before i jump on.. definitely joining the htc again this time around tho
Yes there are manufacture default. Gaps in casing, and screen that isnt glued on properly and doesnt flush with the casing.
Dust under the screen has been a problem with some phones by HTC for years.. was a common problem as far back as Nexus One. That HTC havent plugged the problem yet is beyond me. I think it will be less problematic with the one because alu case is sturdy and does not bend which caused screen sealing to crack on plastic.casings.

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.
hello guys, just a question. can the glass protecting the camera be replaced? because i get blurry pictures due to the scratches on my camera. is it even possible? has anyone tried doing this?

I dont think its possible if you dont have proffesional electrionics knowledge so you dont lose your phone.
Also you must find the same glass and maybe you have to find the same camera module because the glass may not be removable.
To answer the OP: Yes I believe it is possible however it will be a hard task to do and with the missing tools an knowledge you could serious damage your device. So if it is damaged go to a local phonestore and ask them to fix it
Hi is anyone else got dust partials under the camera lens as mine seems to have a couple which wasn't there when I firt bought it
It won't bother me but will it have a problem in the future with pictures etc
Thanks
You should have it checked, cause it's not normal. More dust could collect in the future.

Return it. It is IP68 rated so no dust can get in. If you have got dust in there the seal has failed.
There is an app that was mentioned on this site for testing the ait tight seal, it would be worth testing with that.
