Hi All,
What do you think I should do?
You can see this black spot on my camera...
Hmm i guess that bitten apple causes this
Just kidding. It is probably a hardware fault so the only thing you can do is to send it back to htc

Looks like something has got underneath the lens cover, unless it is on the lens cover, but I'm sure you already checked that. Unfortunately back to HTC is the only real solution if it is under the lens cover.

hi every1,
i have had this phone for over a month...but jus today i realised i have scratced my camera lens screen...is it a normal thing????n how to protect it in future...
Thanks to all in advance!!!!
To the op, there are various threads related to this already. Scratches will happen unfortunately. I suggest a screen cover or case if you want extra protection.
Btw, come on you baggies!

Yup, perfectly normal. The camera enclosure was very poorly designed. You'll need to get a case that has a lens protector or make your own I'm afraid. Mines pretty damn scratched already, I've started resting it on the edge of things so that the camera part hangs over the edge and isn't touching anything. Far and away the most irritating thing about this phone!
Get a cover or cover it with some scotch tape
rock is selling screen protector that comes with camera protection
I wonder why don't they just put Gorilla glass on the camera window. All my previous phones always met with this problem however hard I try to protect the camera. Even ones with a camera window cover (e.g. the Nokia N95 8GB from a long time ago), because the cover itself also becomes the source of scratch.
Are the scratches visible in the pics? Cause as long as its not,affecting the quality of the pic I don't care. Also mine had a nasty scratch but its not on the center of the lens

not really.i mean i haven't noticed any change in the quality of the pics...so i think its better to get it protected before it starts messing around the pic quality!!!!

Hi Guys,
From youtube videos (I know great source of info) it seems that removing back cover on HOX is quite easy.
So two questions come to mind first one no one makes entire back cover replacements in many colours?
Also anyone know where I could get the least original white back cover?
I want to sell my HOX and camera lens is scratched. Does not interfer with pictures due to location of it but still.
Cheers,
Luka
I found a lot of them when looking for a black and white one.

it's not that simple!!
at first you will void your warranty as soon as you detach the cover...then believe me that it's very difficult and you could damage the inner frame or other components, since there's a lot of glue that make you feel the phone very solid in your hands...
but believe me that it's a real pain to change the cover...the most difficult part of opening your phone...
however you should do it just if it's stricly necessary imho...
Nah it's really easy. Takes 10 mins to switch over. There is no glue really. For the most part it is clipped on.
I say go for it. I got my white original cover off ebay for £30.
my camera lens also got little scratched. Is there any chance to replace it only? anyone with the same problem?

Maybe we have different version of One X...
I repaired my touchscreen and my htc was full of glue and sticker anywhere...it was the hardest part for me to detach the cover!
However could you tell me where to buy a black one low cost and new?
Thank you!
You got your white original cover off ebay for £30, can u provide the link of the stuff here?
I would be very happy if i could change my display since its screwed haha...and dont change the back cover, take one of those silikon cases

ebay linky
i bought one too, replacement is a little difficulty but it looks like new
Thx guys, got one in post from link provided. Now wait till Lumia 920 and htc 8x are available for sale to choose one and sell One X

My One X has a creaking corner, where the original back cover seems to give in a little. Any guesses if getting a replacement (because the camera lens also has a few scratches) would help? Maybe the fit would be better... or is the creaking problem something related to how the phone itself sits inside the cover, and getting a new back would be pointless?
Has someone experiences with cases from Hong Kong?
They are cheaper and include the SIM Tray...

After putting the whole thing back together, doesn't the phone start creaking, especially at the bottom part?
No
Opened mine 2 times and the bottom fits better than when it came out of the box.
Only opened it to clean the camera lens from inside and always used the same cover it came with.

Great! That's really nice to hear.
Changed mine from black to white... After changing, my phone is more solid then the out-of-the-box black... Wifi reception is better... Needa change it after my friend knocked my hand while crossing the road... Screen is intact and unscathed though...

You can't change the camera ring but you can pop the glass lens of from inside.

I had a spare One X housing and I wanted to paint it High gloss black. The lens just popped out when I pushed it out. You will have to remove the back housing.

Just replaced it with an glass lens cuted with scrissors.. The quality of the camera is much MUCH better than with the plastic lens!

There are special compounds to polish scratches out from clear plastics.

I think that work. I'm gonna buy too maybe. My photos now are blurry and no focus.
I suspect this is a screen out job to fit. Anyone tried?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Mine is still fine, so I won't have to change it by now.
But I assume that you might just use the little plastic lens instead of the whole ring so screen out wouldn't be needed
I just ordered the eBay lens and round frame only. My lens actually has a crack in it (if yours is just scratched, it can generally be buffed out). Before I ordered it, I tried prying along the LED flash to see if I could get the current one to lift up. Going slowly and carefully around the perimeter, I popped off the current lens cover. It can be done, and is sure a heckuva lot easier than removing the entire back housing.
How you do?

Hey Clitoridys,
Can you please explain what kind of glass you used for this and what scissors? Did you have to paste the new glass lens into place?
My hox+ lens is slowly getting fkd more so everyday and I'd like to replace with glass rather than plastic.
I replaced my cracked camera lens, and now my camera won't focus at all. Can anyone help?

I'm starting to think it's the phone itself, because none of my camera apps can focus, or attempt to focus...
Maybe it's seeing a smudge or blemish on the glass that you can't see and so it always stays focused on that. Just a thought.

IDK what it was, but I got the entire camera replaced at a repair shop for $40. Thanks though.
I've Just upgraded to the HTC One m8 last week from a HTC One x, loving it so far :good:
One thing I wondered was what type of glass is the rear camera lenses made from, don't suppose it's gorilla glass at last is it?
all it takes is a tiny scratch on it in the middle and that's the end of good photos, every mobile with a camera i've had to date has ended up with poor photo quality due to scratches.
I wish they fitted a metal shutter to cover it really, but gorilla glass like used on the front screen would help i bet.
I can't find any info on what type of glass it is, I was wondering myself. I just cut out a small piece of plastic and set it between the case and the phone to cover the lenses.
It hasn't affected picture quality that I've noticed. But if it ever gets scratch I can just change out the piece of plastic.
I don't see why HTC would put such a big circle for a small camera lens.

yeah i wondered that to, It's placed where my fingers go each time i pull it out my pocket to, the lens just gets finger prints all over it.
I was looking at all the cases to see if any have a shutter to close over it but no luck so far.
