Scrathes on de camera lens!!!

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.

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!!!!

Replacement back cover

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

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...

HTC One X - Replacement Camera Lens Cover

Hi,
My HTC One x has a number of scratches on the rear camera lens cover and I was wondering how easy it is to replace?
I see you can purchase them from ebay - Item number 261083492039
Or would it be easier to replace the back housing?
Thanks
Darren

Good question! Has anyone replaced the camera lens?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium

If you can find the replacement it's easy cos it's not glued or anything. Obviously you need to take the case apart.

How easy is it to remove the case?

Actually, from what l've heard, the camera lens is built into the shell. You have to replace the entire unibody if you want to have a scratch free lens. Not completely sure though. Will do some research and let you know.

Well, I opened my One X 5 times and also replaced my housing (to make it white and get a new and unscratched camera lens) and I think you can't get the camera lens out of the case without damaging the case. Seems to be built into the housing

i have an early batch sh23, the lens became very loose few months ago, then some kind of dust went in between the outside lens and the actual camera lens... blocking the camera so i cant take any pictures... i ordered a replacement housing from the internet and the case has scratches so i send it back for replacement. just to let you guys know, the lens was stick to the case with a thin double sided tape and its very easy to remove. again, maybe this case i ordered was an early batch

So I guess you have to buy an entirely new housing if you want to replace the scratched lens. Not sure if its worth it though. But what would be awesome would be different colored shells. I am thinking an Orange colored One X would look really cool. Orange is my favorite color

So wheres the cheapest place I can buy a new back housing?

Ebay

[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.

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.
Lens not on back housing:

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.
