Be careful cleaning the back camera lens. It scratches very easily. I had some sticky spots on my lens and used my finger nail to remove it and I scratched my lens. Really? They couldn't choose a softer/cheaper material? Please no lectures that I used a finger nail. If it would have been glass it shouldn't have been a problem.
Going for a raised case now, mines scratched up as well. It's pretty minimal, doesn't seem to affect quality at all so that's good

I saw an article where a person scratched a DSLR lens and it took shots just as clear as the new lens, They are close enough to the sensor and stuff that the scratch had no impact on the image. You have to REALLY scratch it or scratch REALLY deep for it to show up.
I feel your pain, I paid £62 for a n new unibody because the repair centre scratched my lense and couldn't prove it was done by them, so I get my phone back and the lense is kind of misty but no scratches, I think is an anti glare coating that actually gets scratched, if you look at the lense cover in daylight you will see it doesn't look very glossy, im sure its glass(could be wrong) its just that damn coating, it should be on the inside unless it on both because they were dipped to apply it.The onex is glass but theres no coating on it, its just plain glass.

It probably doesn't matter. It scratches very easily and the protruding camera doesn't make it better So far I don't see a difference in photo quality.
It's definitely glass. I've been scratching it with my nail all day, no marks.
I smell something though.

Quartz will scratch glass no matter how many gorillas it's made of. Sand is basically quartz. So if you have a speck of sand/dirt under your fingernail or in the ridges of your finger, you can potentially scratch pretty much anything up.
possible fix?
hey guys,
do you think applying Polywatch on the camera lens will fix those annoying scratches?

no, Polywatch works on plastic lenses..
I assume that the camera lens of our phone is not glass because it does scratch very easily..
To me, it looks like the camera lens is made out of some sort of plastic..
can anyone confirm this?

Whats being scratched is an anti glare coating, there isn't one on the onex, its just clear glass, if you put both phones together the onex+ as a purply coating, this is very easy to rub of and scratch.
I think it is replaceable. I have a back cover you can have if you want to try pulling it off and replacing it.

Why would HTC give the onex glass and the newer updated version(onex+) plastic, doesn't make sense, I myself am not going to attempt to prove whether its glass or plastic, I still think its glass though.

Why don't most phones come with a camera lens cover slider such as like this

my nokia had it like the sonny you showed and still gets dusty. I think they should make the lens of some kind of material that doesnt get dust to stick. I remember the iphone 4 lens were uncovered and never got dusty, might just be the lens material..

dust i can live with, I'll wipe it...scratches I can't!!! i might just buy a generic cheap screen cover and try to cut it out, but it'll be a hard task to do a good job!!! I'm also afraid its going to affect the picture and camera quality with a cover like that on.

Ya have a case which is actually raised where the camera is so it helps protect it, but lets say you put it in you pocket with keys (I try to never do that) Now what??? the camera is still out in the open, the backplate doesn't protect it like some other phones...my old nexus ones backplate covered the camera with an extra glass, so if it got scratched you could just replace the backplate...this phone there's nothing to protect it...this is a big deal for me as I am an avid picture taker.
Here's what I do. Buy a roll of high quality 3m clear tape like for packing. Cut out just enough to fit over the camera. And I don't mean a small circle I cut to fit the shape of the silver part. Here's a hint: don't touch the sticky part youre applying with your figertips. Firmly apply and as your doing so try to stretch it a bit. For quick snaps you won't even know its there. Otherwise peel back shoot re apply.
Yeah cheesy but it works great.

yet another sonyericsson phone with good camera cover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VXPxko79aI&feature=related
...a lot sonyericsson phones come with that kind of cover, with LED flash PLUS xenon flash, learn HTC, learn. With such high quality camera's now...I would assume that xenon flash and led flash (for flashlight purposes perhaps or video recording) would be a norm. I would also assume a sliding cover would also be a norm...I mean face it our camera takes better pics than many point and shoot camera's out there, and those aall have lenses that have either covers or retract...If HTC is going to advertise this as their "phone geared toward camera" they should have included such things in my opinion, then again there's alway cost, i would probably end up being around 900 bucks unsubsidized...which if you think about it is good, if you have an amazing point and shoot camera and an amazing phone all in one..

Glass piece ? There's no glass piece on the amaze lens, its just the lens housed in an aluminum cover. And its open .
My tape idea works great, just replace a new piece when its time. Any ways its a cheap pheasable solution

its is a valid idea but I have a feeling the tape will collect dust since it will have sticky borders, and doesn't really prove scratch protection (not that durable).
something like a big generic type of boxwave screen protection would do better i would say since its not as sticky and you can cut many pieces out of it when its time to replace, if you need to replace it at all!!! I'm talking about the screen covers that dont' require water and sopa (not the ones like zagg) but ones that just go on. only concern is how it'll change the picture and video clarity!!! ahhh, i'm takling too much!!
Yeah you do have to be diligent with it, replace a lot , and somthing could poke through and scratch it. But clarity is exactly why I chose tape...now I'm talkin to much...lol

Have scratched lenses been a problem? Are we creating a problem where none exists? Just asking. Are we covering the lens on the assumption that the design must lead to scratches, or cuz the design DOES lead to scratches

yes lenses get tiny scratches over time, they are just glass. heck even gorilla glass gets scuffed up over time, here's a guy who cracked the lens COVER, but he could fix that by getting a new backplate since its this htc phone HAS a lens cover on the backplate. imagine when people start cracking the actual lens, then the camera becomes completely useless and you'll need to get a new phone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttusQFAp3I
up till now most phones had a glass cover on the backplate, that glass cover would get scratched up like crazy after a year of use, MY N1 had that lens cover on the backplate, I had to order a new backplate after a year so I could shoot clear pictures again...the amaze has no such glass over the actual lens... this can create big problems down the line, since its faily new people have not noticed it yet. worse yet, it can break!!!!

The oleophobic coating on my phone started to wear off and an ugly stain is left at the bottom corner of the front panel. I came across this fusso product and wondering if it possibly can cover and hide the part with no coating on the screen? Also I am not sure if at all it can be applied directly on the ASF or it is meant for glass surfaces only?
Maybe you can advise me with any solutions?
By the way my phone is only like 10 days old and I baby it.. it's just ridiculous.

yes I can help
you got 2 solutions.
-Take it off original screen protector. (I know it's a pain for you but it is a choice)
-Buy another screen protector and put it on top. Stain WILL disappear.
My recommendation for you is GearMaxx (front and back). That is a top of the line product.
I have removed the original screen protector (which is a pain). Tomorrow I will receive my Glass-M screen protector and try it out. It's supposed to have very good fingerprint protection. A bit more expensive but seems like a good product.
Though I am also gonna order a bottle or two of the Fisso product you mentioned. Funny you mentioned it because I first saw it just a few minutes ago on another site. Also got good reviews I've seen. Albeit a tad expensive.

Oh removing the back protector on my old Z was a nightmare I don't want to go through that hell again ever. Putting a second protector on top looks like is the only opt to me for now as the Fusso coating is meant for glass surfaces only, maybe it will harm the protector or won't work properly idk.

I think it only works properly on naked glass so the protector has to be removed. Though indeed it was a pain and took me about an hour with acetone and knife. Though I miss the oleophobic coating a lot.

I don't want to remove the film as i like the sony logo and added protection.
I just want to apply on the front.

The asf scratch easily, the oliofobic wore off in like three months and at about 2/3 down the screen there was a horizontal dull and almost har d to see through line where my fingers had been swiping in many apps. So I took it off about a year ago.
Without its a nightmare. Its completely dull. There is no finish to the glass due to that the asf needed the rough surface to bond to. I have been using Gtechnic kit and it does very well. Its a product most used in sports cars and airplanes but it can be used to anything you like as long as it sticks to the surface.
..But not enough. Probably the best solution would be to have proper buffing equipment and buff the surface until its smooth as crystal glass.
Anyhow I tried a set off those hardened glass protector and thats what im using at the moment. The phone is now two years old so I dont really care much about it. If it dents it dents, if the glass cracks it cracks. Im not spending money on it any longer.

its a common question. As I understand the touch sensitivity is not an issue when applying screen protector onto the asf. So you should be fine.
And Yes typicly rainx should work. But the oleophobic wont wear of the glass screen protector.. not what I have noticed at least.

Hello,
im not using my X with any case and recently saw that my back lens is really, reallly scratched. I cant understand why Sony did not use glass to protect it. Any idea how to remove this scratches?
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58db60c5c607c/IMG_20170329_092200739.jpg?
It's not glass? It feels like it.. weird, I thought all of the X series were with glass lens. I have no scrathes nor in the lens nor on the screen (actually in the screen there are 2 super small invisible scratches you can view only with a specific angle under bright sun, other than that, it's like new. Been using a flip case and now ordered screen protectors and a good TPU. You got your lens TERRIBLY f*cked up, how did you manage to do that? and the metal is scratched too, right? I suggest you get a TPU now to prevent more damage. I don't think you can fix it, and I don't recommend the toothpaste DIY "trick" since chances are it won't do anything and paste will get stuck in the gap between the lens. I do suggest you to find lens in ebay and replace them yourself, or if you haven't rooted and still have warranty ask what they can do about it in a local store. Can't be very expensive...
What did you do in the end? I had this phone for little over a week, and the camera is full of scratches.
Did you contact Sony? Did they repaired the phone? Or have you removed the scratched layer with alcohol/toothpaste?
I've owned many, many phones over the years, some with a plastic lens. This is the first time I've seen my camera so scratched.
Just by looking at the pic, I'm pretty sure the protective plastic camera has not been removed yet..
This is old people, and I highly doubt OP will reply. Whoever says their lens are getting scratches either didn't remove the plastic cover or you are doing something VERY wrong. Phones aren't meant to be placed on rocks or something. Other than that, I have not idea how you scratch it and it looks like glass to me. The X series phones after the z5 were all upgraded with glass lens.

There's no protective plastic on my lens, and it scratches with jeans denim, I've tested it. I own phones with actual plastic lenses, and they do not scratched by fabric. My guess is there are some units where the antiglare layer on the camera lens have some kind of defect.
Before the "you're using it wrong" argument: no. My phone is in pristine condition, it does not have any marks of use anywhere but the camera. It was never near any rough surface. My 2.5 years old Moto E2 plastic camera lens is in a much better condition.

Very weird stuff going on with this phone, good job on fixing it
Has anyone noticed that the glass on the back is very sensitive and scratches easily? Also my sister threw my keys to me about 10 feet away and it cracked the phone ??. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this fragile glass. Honestly disappointed that the glass scratches easily. I've had a Note 5 for 2 years and the glass isn't scratched yet..
Nope, mine is in ultra slim Spigen hard case, dropped phone from shoulder height onto concrete and case got a small crack in corner but phone still 100% so I'm happy with robustness of G6

The higher version of gorilla Glass the more prone to scratching it is but less likely to shatter. That's why they used 3 on the front and 5 in the back

I've seen people say you can buff those out especially with the black model.
So the glass covering the camera on the back cracked significantly

Just cracked? On its own?

I was taking pictures of a situation at my job and it was fine. I put it in my sweat pants pocket which had nothing else in it. I went to take a closer shot and the was this white how in the corner of the picture. I turned my phone around and surprise it was cracked. I didn't drop it yet I've stopped it Kenny times before. I have a nice case and screen protector. There was no mishandling of my phone. I don't do anything excessive. My pants weren't tight. It cracking is unexplainable

Man that sucks. The only thing that makes sense to me of why that glass is breaking on certain phones is the outer ring surrounding the glass might be such a tight fit that it's under tension. Then randomly it just gives. Have you spoken to any customer support yet?

I'm afraid I'll have to spend that insurance money. I don't have it yet lol?. I didn't speak to any customer support but I don't know what to tell them. Hardware damage is pretty black and white to them. If anyone have any suggestions please feel free I can use it.

The hard thing is physical damage is really difficult to prove it's a manufacturer issue. Wouldn't hurt to call him and point them in the direction of the multiple complaints that already exists
I too noticed the glass on the back was getting scrached by having a case on!#. It was stupid. Good thing my girlfriend owns a cellphone repair kiosk and installed the pahnthon clear skin on it. Two days later i dropped my phone four steps away from reaching the second floor without my hard case and the phone didnt break thanks to the skin.
