um... i already broke my plastic cover lens, and dirt and dust keep clogging the main lens inside, so thats not a good idea.
i wonder if the camera settings can ever be fixed. there a no applications that cantake pics with the built in camera, and all rom's seem to be hosting the same camera app.

hmmm, i guess ur right.so breaking the lens is a no no.but i beleive we can fix the hue and contrast and all those. i remember i did it in my Magician but sold it and forgot where i got the settings.

[Q] how is rear camera protected?

I have just got my Galaxy Note 2 yesterday and noticed that the rear camera is not protected. There is just camera lens visible (small piece of glass approx 1-1.5mm in diameter). It looks like there is a protection glass missing above the lens, because there is just the chrome bezel and and inside another plastic part which surrounds the lens.
For example here:
In the review posted on phonearena "GN2 x HTC One X" (I cannot post the link), there is nice picture of GN2 rear camera and it looks like there is a layer of glass/plastic above the camera lens. But I am not sure.
So I wonder if someone, simply by looking at this Note 2 backside, can confirm my suspicion.

Mine has a layer of plastic almost flush with the chrome bezel. It is square(ish), about 8mmx8mm.
(Picture attached)

mg35pt, thanks for the picture, which makes the covering layer very distinguished. That is what I was afraid of. Mine does not have anything "in the hole", just naked lens. So I guess I am going to return it .

Are you saying yours doesn't have that chrome looking bezel? Would you mind posting a picture to give others a heads up of what to look for?
If you only have your phone you can try using a mirror.

It is not that I miss the bezel, which is right there. What I miss is the small window from transparent glass/plastic, which is sunk in the bezel and covers the lens and protects it from dust and contact with outside world. (As was nicely pictured by mg35pt). The missing window is not apparent at the first sight, so I guess they just forgot to put one there and quality control did not notice.

Thank you for the clarification. So all you see is the camera lens which is the tiny circle and not a flat surface as it should be.

[Q] Rear camera lens glass?

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.

Wouldn't that be to capture more light in the lens ?

Just get a cheap screen protector a cut out a circle ?
But then agian, the glass is recessed in the housing i don't see how you would scratch it like that in the first place

Is the camera lens cover part of the back housing?

Is the camera lens cover part of the back housing?
Replacement back housing includes the back lens cover, however in two disasembely videos the camera lens cover was still on the motherboard when removing the back housing.
I don't get it!
I want to replace my back cover because my lens is all scratched.

Pretty sure the lens covers are part of the housing. I'm looking to replace my housing as well do to a drop.

It will come with the housing. It looks like the the lens just gets pulled off because it sticks to the camera. You can see in the pic below where the lens surround was stuck to the housing.

Will it be hard to pull off the lens from the camera module?
Is it glued?

Any ideas guys

This makes no sense. On some YouTube videos the camera lens plastic is not attached to the back housing, and on some videos it is! I don't want to have to take a part my motherboard to remove the camera module to replace the glass over it.
Can anyone clarify?

I think the camera lens is not attached to the back housing since you can find out that the camera lens are sold separately in many phone parts shop like DBX. That means it can be replace. But it is not easy to tear down the camera lens unless you are professional person. So you can also see there are parts like back housing with camera lens.

[Q] Black dot when I take pictures

Why is there a black dot in the same exact place when I take a picture. It doesn't matter what camera app I use. I'm thinking that its someting under the camera lens. What should I do?

Looks like a piece of plastic or foam under the lens.

How can I remove it?

You'll have to open the back of the case and see if you can clear the debris that way. If it's not easily accessible or blown out that way, I'm not sure you'll even want to mess with it further. Not sure what kind of real uses this terrible camera has anyways.
Here's a teardown guide, be careful not to crack the back cover....
