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.

[Q] Camera Lens Question

Hi,
Noticed that my camera lens was getting scratched. I was trying to look at it closely and it seems something like the asf (a plastic film) is also on the camera lens. At least thats what it seems like to me.
Can someone confirm if that is indeed the case or am I just seeing things?
Thanks in advance

You're probably seeing things, unless you put a protector on there yourself.
Mind you that the glass for the camera is a separate piece of glass, so the edge is visible just inside the silver ring - not to be confused with a protector. A protector wouldn't actually be needed anyway since the glass doesn't go as far as the glass backplate. That is, it doesn't touch any surface when you put the phone down (unless you got huge pieces of dirt underneath).
I myself have accidentally scratched the factory screen protector on the back of the phone quite a lot, but my camera lens is still perfectly intact. And no, I really cannot see a protector on my camera lens :cyclops:

If the glass gets scratched a little, say on the bottom left part, above the black ring. Does it influence the camera quality? Just like i somehow got a minor piece of dust behind the glass over there.

As long as it's not right in front of the lens and it's tiny, it shouldn't pose a problem.
Actually, if you take a bunch of pictures and you can't find one spot they all have in common that looks odd, there's no problem anyway :angel:

I didn't find any spot, yet sometimes i doubt a little about the lighting. But that can also be the normal lighting effects. Not that big of a photographer with experience hehe.

[Q] Dust under rear camera glass

Hello,
Has anybody noticed a little dust under rear camera glass?
In my Z3C it is visible in sunlight, you have to look from the angle. There are no problems with images taken by camera, but phone is quite new (not even 2 weeks) and while it is dustproof I think it shouldn't have any kind of dust in this place...

Weird USB flab discoloration

Hi! I've recently noticed a weird discoloration on USB flap cover on my Z3C. Its not on the outer surface, it looks to be under the transparent part (sorry for photos quality, made with laptop camera). I'm not sure if it's some layer peeling off, ar just discoloration. I haven't dropped my phone or submerged it in any fluid ever. That's why i'm wondering where it came from. Did anyone experienced similar problem? Should I just buy a new flap and replace it myself?
