I know that the quality of the camera is not the best in to world but until recently the quality was usable for notes and quick snaps.
My tilt is only 2 months old and on close inspection the clear window on the battery cover has become scratched.
Is there a good method of buffing out the scratches or a source of replacement windows??
If I remove the battery cover, I can take nice clear photos. The same thing has happened to my wife's N95
u can puncture out the panel, but i wouldn't recommend it due to risk of scratching the lens. It may be tedious to buffing out the panel so its best to just buy another back cover.
Here's what I did...
1. Remove the back battery cover.
2. While holding the silver ring/speaker cover in place, carefully push out the lens glass from the inside of the battery cover.
(The lens glass is just glued in so it isn't hard to push out)
3. Try to buff out/clean the lens glass and replace it with a dab of glue.
(I left mine off completely since it greatly improves picture & vid quality)
4. Replace the back battery cover.
(If you can't fix the scratch, you may have to buy a whole new back battery cover--I haven't found anyone who just sells the lens glass)
They're about $20 all over eBay and here...http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-black-battery-cover-p-3157.html

I recently dropped my hd2 and the glass around the lens broke off now the lens is exposed. is there a case that will cover it or a camera lens replacement.
Update: I know im not the only one in America with a glass crack where my lens is and would like to know where to get this fixed or a part site?
I just dropped and broke my camera lens as well today.
mines also cracked after 2 weeks of use....called customer service and they did a manufacturer's warranty and got the replacement right away
Check on eBay - they have direct replacement lenses - OEM. You will have to figure out a way to get some double sided tape to mount it for most of them.
VERY CHEAP - fortunately they are available.
found a replacement on ebay. you dont need to take apart phone or anything. i just super glued around the lens and popped in. good as new.
if $ is not an option look at this...

They are cheaper on ebay. just ordered one.
Get the Otterbox Defender. I think it is the only case out there truly protecting the camera lens.
i have a cracked camera lens..how do i take it off?
Since it's already cracked, use a knife or something and carefully pry into the cracked area and pull up the cracked glass. Thats how I did it. Just becareful not to push too hard.
is there like walktrhough guide video for this?
Sorry, theres no video or walk through that I know of. As long as you pry off the broken lens its simple from there. Just pry off the lens and then just stick the new one in. Theres not much more than that. You don't have to take the phone apart or anything.
A small sewing needle is a great tool to use. Just pry out the broken piece or you can even do it from the side. What I found when I did it was that there was a ring of adhesive that is difficult to reset correctly once you take the broken lens out. I actually just took the needle and scraped off the adhesive and placed the new lens in so that it's below the surface (beveled, I guess you could say). It stays in just like the old one -- otherwise you'll scratch it the minute you put it down on the table.

What happens if it breaks again now that you used super glue?
...I used some 3M double sided tape and a hole punch. I cut it to size and punched a hole in the middle...carefully cleaned all the old adhesive off and dropped it in. Its not going anywhere and absolutely no dust can get under it...if it breaks again (which it may...so I ordered two because the price was so cheap) it will be much easier to remove than super glue.
I was wondering if the inner back plate can be purchased anywhere, as my camera lens cover is pretty scratched up and I want it replaced.
Could not find anything on google or ebay search.
Hello,
Need some help, I bought a Z1 but the back had cracks and a bit of shattered glass in it - I bought a replacement
back cover with the adhesive on it, but I cannot get the old one off (after using the hairdryer, a suction pad wouldnt get it up either).
Its like the back screen film protector is peeling up but the rest of it is staying put. If I can't get this done I will take it to the shop
tomorrow but it'd be much more convienient if I could do it myself.. Or would it be the best thing to do?
I've included a picture too..
Thanks in advance
Hi, I sadly cracked my back camera glass, i dont know how but it just happened, i think i'm able to repair by myself but i don't want to loose my warranty so i'm planning to send back to Xiaomi assistance but i don't really know if they will charge me a lot...you know glass is glass (it costs 2$)...my question is: Should i go throw assistance?why? Or do it by my self and void the warranty?(will be void?)
Looking at the back of my mi9, it seems very similar to what I had on my previously owned redmi note 5 ai: the back lens cover is a simple piece of glass that has a thin black double sided adhesive with holes to accomodate the lenses on the back of it. When my redmi note 5 lens glass cracked, I gently broke and removed the rest of it and was able to remove the broken glass and adhesive remains completely and apply a replacement lens glass that cost me close to nothing on aliexpress. It worked great after the repair. If my mi9 glass would break, I would do the same and would never send it to be repaired as the hassle and cost are unnecessary. Think about this and decide for yourself. Good luck!
Edit: a quick search on aliexpress found it for less than 2 USD and it as I expected. See photo.
Very helpfull answer, so how i can remove the glass without open the phone (how you finish to break the glass)? And how to clean? Alchol? Ill attach a pic..
