Is it possible to replace this part and is there anyone that would have a good one? Mine is pretty scratched up from general wear.
thanks,
Harry
I assume you are talking about a camera on the back of the phone? If so:
Are you talking about the lens on the back cover, or are you refering to the lens on the camera itself, under the back cover?
One thing you can do, and I would suggest doing so, is removing the lens cover that is part of the back cover of the phone. One less piece of plastic in the path of the light, and it will also remove the scratches. I have had mine like this for 6 months of heavy use (I've got two kids) and the lens cover on the lens itself doesn't have any damage.
I assume the piece of glass exposed on the back of the phone is not the actual lens and i just a glass cover. Is it possible to replace this? And is there any good cover to protect it? I just noticed there's already several scratches on the glass. Was wondering if i could easily replace it and also if there was something i could do to protect in the future.
I'd prefer not getting a whole case if possible.
I believe it is a plastic cover, and I have seen replacment ones for sale on the internet, they are a plastic circle with a black ring printed on it.
I believe the price was somewhat high for what it is, like $15-20.
thanks, i think i found it:

Mines broke and it's glass not plastic. I think the replacements are plastic.
Sent while sitting on the toilet.
I read somewhere that you can go somewhere that processes camera film and get some used disposable cameras for free, and that the lenses from those will fit perfect on the evo. There was a wright up on it i think here at xda.
Hi all,
I'm into photography and the lens is one of the most precious component in my galaxy note.
Has anyone came across a case/battery case/add-on that has a lens cover? I'm particulary after a sliding lens cover. I don't really want to put screen protector in front of the lens as it'll affect photo quality.
If you've seen any.. please provide links.. thanks
FYI, I've googled.. with no luck
cheers
Lens protector
Here's my solution. Might not be the prettiest. If you find a circular piece of rubbery sticker or something simmilar it might be even better. Doesn't even need to be this thick. Doesn't even need to be out of rubber. I just like the extra friction when I lay my phone on the desk.
I hated the idea, that the phone rests on the lens when I put it down.
What do you think?
I found similar solution like @vgergo but you dont need to destroy battery cover. I ordered leather back battery cover from ebay, it is a bit ticker than original one and it provides arround 1mm edge arround lens so it is protected when putting your phone down. Back is nice finnished and it fits as it should so I can reccomend it.
I am having lots of scratches on camera lens... Initially I ignored them but now they are affecting the image quality as I am having problems recently... Now has anyone got their camera lens replaced from HTC under warrenty? How is the new lens, is it the same one? Is the unibody design gonna be a problem here? Need some feedback guys, and let me know how much HTC charged you... Thank you in advance...
i think you mean the outer glass \ plastic cover of the camera
if so i think it comes with the housing
search for videos of how to change i think its not that hard if you done it careully

Yeah the glass not the lens actually, can you please link me...
If I'm not mistaken the outer lens was housed on the case. I afraid you have replace the uni-body casing just for lens substitution. Remember someone posted here that he managed to buy case. Yes. It is in one piece..

I have bought a replacement back cover and can confirm the outer camera lens clear cover is integral to the back cover.

How much did it cost? Is it available at HTC service centre?
Not this is a help to you now, but once you get it replaced, do what I did, I bought one of the fairly inexpensive screen protectors they sell, and cut a round piece to cover the glass to avoid exactly that, and it doesnt degrade the quality of the picture at all, this way you can have one sheet for countless amounts as covers, at least this way if the screen cover gets scratched you can just replace it with another pre-cut one, I have one sheet that made about 25 covers for the lens. Just a thought. HTC should have really recessed the glass to avoid this, or like previous models be able to pop the glass out cause the camera lens is recessed from harm.
here you go with required tools, just bought from them as spare part didn't install it but looks original and good quality with the lens cover integrated with the housing

Thank you everybody for the cooperation
Hello Everybody
I am too in the same boat.
I have bought a used HTC One X (AT&T) mobile phone.
The previous owner of the mobile phone have clearly stated that he bumped on a table which damaged the camera lens.
I assumed the lens or lens cover be easily replaceable.
But it appears to be not the case.
Anybody shed some light on the same ?
Also please check these links

Replace the body of the phone.
i did it last week, changed my HoX Grey to a HoX White
only cost me $50,- (which is 39 euro's for me :victory: )
bought the case from e-bay with free shipping.
The cheap screenprotector film is a great idea, gonna try that as well!
Can't we just replace the lens cap alone ?
It is available in eBay as separate piece .

Looks to me as if thats just the rim around the camera
The Bezel/Lens is sold as separate pieces...and cheap!
If anyone figures out how to just change the bezel\lens, and not have to go through the trouble/expense of replacing the entire body, let me know.

Hi
Does somebody know, where could I find replacement battery cover, because mine is badly scratched ?
Also same question for camera lens cover, my pictures are very fuzzy and blurred because of damaged cover lens. Does anybody know if third party phone makers e.g. Meizu, Xiaomi, etc. uses same camera protective glass lens ?
Thanks
I was trying to search battery cover too, but unfortunately, i found nothing. Maybe there is something on ebay, but i dont think so
I've seen the same camera glass design on some Fly model. Which is no surprise cause Wileyfox is a Fly's subbrand.
