Hi,
Is it possible to change the default main rear camera from the top one to the lower one (when held vertically)?
The clear plastic cover has developed a crack right over the top lens making photos blurry.
Can't afford to send it for replacement at the mo, but can't figure out if it's possible to switch the cameras instead...
Thx

Perhaps it would be easier to remove the plastic and rotate it 180 degrees so the cracked part is then on the bottom.

Yeh, methinks that rotating the glass is your best bet. Actually switching the cameras would require a considerable bit of coding

I've scoured the interwebs/googled this to death to no avail, so i decided to ask here.
Would using two magnetic, camera phone lenses on the Evo 3D's cameras work. it seems no one's actually tried this.
I ask because, after watching a few GoPro 3D videos, i realized that GoPro cameras have a permanent wide-angle lens on it, and go curious as to whether it'd work on my phone as a less expensive solution.
I have one magnetic lens already which i use and love but i'd rather know it works before i spend the money. i don't understand the workings of stereoscopicy when using wide angle lense.
any help appreciated!
It would work as long as both lenses are identical. But I'd be nervous of bringing anything magnetic to any of my electronics. That's got a reputation of bad things... But maybe it's safe for a phone?

A lens that attaches magnetically, lol.
Lol i cant post a link because ima noob so ill just say that it's like i simplified camera lens that is smaller and made for cellohones. So instead of screwing it on like a regular camera, you stick a metal ring with adhesive around your phones camera and the lens has a magnet that sticks to this ring
I remember seeing something similar for the EVO 4G, and it worked pretty well.

Yes, it was a magnetic macro lens. It did wonders for the 4G.
anyone know how to replace the evo 3d's rear camera glass? mine is pretty scuffed up and scratched and found a replacement part on ebay. and yes i have looked up the teardown videos on youtube but none explain how to take the old glass off. is it just glued on? would it just pop off? im trying to do this on my own if i can without taking it to the cell repair place. thanks.
You mean the glass that covers the lens? If so, i once took mine apart on my desire and that was kinda glued on so i'd only imagine its not too different here.
Yes the glass that covers the lens

Hey everyone, I don't know what happend to my camera it just all of a sudden started taking realy foggy pics.

Similar issue and I think it is the glass! Look closely at the glass in the light and let me know if you see weird scratches. Had the regular One X with more usage with no case and glass looks better than my One X+

These are not scratches on the glass, but scratches on weird anti-glare covering on the camera glass. I had similar issue, but after removing this covering (actually, it's possible even with your nail), I've got similar photo quality as on a new phone.

Yes there is a bunch of scratches on the back glass. But they were there even before this happend. I don't think the scratches are the problem.

I got the exact same problem. It used to work fine (see 281.jpg) , now picture quality is terrible. All pictures have a very foggy (very noticable in 486.jpg) look to it and look like theyve been taken on a 5 year old feature phone camera.
Edit: I've always had my phone in a protective leather cover.

I have just tried the toothpaste trick, convinced that it wouldn't work (and would probably wreck my phone)
5 - 10 mins later, rubbing toothpaste on with my finger, then wiping it clean with a damp cloth.
Astonishing difference! Not only does the camera now work brilliantly with no more mistly, milky lens flare, but my phone smells minty fresh (and still works).
Seriously, give it a go - 10 mins effort tops, and you can still send it in for repair after.
The obvious difference was that the coating on the lens was rubbed off, and I have noticed only good things as a result.
YMMV, but what have you got to lose?

Okay I'm starting to get this effect on my phone but I'm scared that if I rub off the coating, the lens will get permanently scratched afterwords.
Has anyone had any problems like this after this procedure?

Its been almost two weeks, the lens is still perfect even though I have been traveling
Hi,
I also just "cleaned" the lens with some tooth-paste, and removed the scratched/worn-off lens coating.
Now the lens is visually clear again, and my pictures are fabulous as usual!
Don't know where the coating was used for exactly, but removing the coating doesn't seemed to influence the picture quality at all.
Thanks for the great tip!

Hi,
Great idea, great result!
I found that my pictures start to be foggy and blurry. Camera lens wasn't scratched, but it's look like to have some tiny dirty scratched film over it.
I tried this cleaning idea, and succeed!
Thank you. My pictures are great again!
In the end I did it as well and the results are amazing.
I'm sad I didn't do it before I went on holiday, all my pictures would have been of better quality.
thanks worked great!
incredible. it worked perfectly for me!
thanks a lot!!
It's almost 2016 and it worked for my Z1 Compact
Even with a brand new phone, i noticed tiny scratches ( you have to use a magnifying glass or slowly rotate it in the right light to see)
and phone has been no where near the insides of any pocket or un raised over any surface with my case. it hasn't seen a single touch or wipe.
some have called them surface stress scratches due to manufacturing.

anyone else?
Funny you mention it, my buddies camera was terrible, looked foggy and blurry...his lens is scratched really really badly. My camera works great, but when I looked it was also really badly scratched, we both use the same case too. It sucks that it picks up scratches so easily.

There's a few threads in this problem my lense has these marks in it. I can get a definitive answer if it actually affects photo quality. Mine seems to take pretty good photos

To be that badly scratched im not sure how gentle this use was lol,im using mine without a case from when i got it.And it only has 1 superfine minor scratch you can see only in certain angles if you put it directly to the sun.And it was there from when i got it.
yep big long scratch on my Verizon one.

Can't recall....Did that lens ship with protective plastic on it? If so, did you remove it? I literally just discovered I missed the plastic over the volume and power button, so I thought it might be a possibility.

maybe verizon opted out of the sapphire and put glass? mine is perfect
Scratch that... Verizon wireless page says it is:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/device/smartphone/lg-g2
maybe the finish is different.. my D800 looks like it just came out of the box.. I don't use a case
My verizon one looks like crap. Looks cloudy due to abrasions. I am really good about not putting the phone in my pocket with keys and stuff. I don 't know but when I look in the light I see a worn looking spot that does not look right... like abrasion wear or something. I think it affects my picture quality. Don't think pictures are properly focused because of it.
