Different Lens on Evo

My lens cracked today (don't know how) and I want to get it fixed. Can I take it to a camera shop and have them outfit it with another type of lens (example: leica lens)? Any photographers here or people who work in a camera shop?
I have some cameras that I can pull a lens from. Just wanting to know if this were possible.

I would suggest taking it back to Sprint and see if they can fix it for you. Not to sure about camera shops but you can see what they say. Give it a try and let us know what happens.

You didn't crack the lens

You cracked the cover. The lens is under the front cover. I've thought about removing mine since I think the cover is causing some of the photo issues that are out there.
Remove the cover and see if the pics improve!

It would cost hundreds of dollars to custom build a lens and mount it to the evo, if any camera shop will even attempt to do that.

I wanted to swap the lens. I don't use a cover with my phone since I did the scraped paint mod. I'm surprised it broke since I don't put anything in left pocket but my phone.
I saw a post on here about people adding a camera lens attachment to the Evo. I'm pretty sure the lens can be replaced and I have a spare leica camera that's not working.
I would imagine the process to be similar to getting the lens for glasses cut to size but maybe more tedious.

As someone already pointed out it's the cover which cracks, not the lense.

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?

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

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.

So i can replace it with a Glass piece or not?

Get a Housing from eBay

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

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?

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.

My lens cover is scratched and some photos are coming out blurry. Does anyone know where I could buy a replacement?
I've searched Ebay without luck

Hey. I have the same problem, though my camera lens is cracked. Photos are still ok but sooner or later I need to buy a replacement. Do I have to buy a new back cover for it?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the Camera glass is not included with replacement back covers. It is in fact part of the camera module. This makes finding a replacement very hard. I ended up buying a faulty 2nd hand P6 and using it for parts.
