The phone i bought had a scratched up camera lens filter (the outermost lens) I bought a replacement on the bay but it makes the image very blurry. Where can i get a replacement lens that wont hurt the image quality? Or what material can i use to make my own, its a tiny circle after all.
Thanks

Just remove the lens and clean it with a piece of paper.
You may have accidentally touched the lens and they got dirty.

Hey guys, my camera has been taking not so great pics lately, and Iv always suspected it was because of my camera lens glass cover that is on the midplate
the glass itself has some wear on it from light scratches, and it has a group of tiny bubbles on the glass itself (im thinking there is some protective film on the glass on the other side)
anyways , I took off the midplate and took a picture without the glass.
results = my pictures were AMAZING... the clearest, sharpest ever seen on this phone.
how can I make this permanent?... is the glass replaceable? ... can I remove the glass and let it run naked?... is it safe?.. (with a battery cover and silicon case over it)
any suggestions?... thanks guys.
I think the same thing that happened to the glass can happen to the lens.
直接更换玻璃，贴个保护膜！一切ok

Hi,
Do you have the pics to show how you removed the midplate? I am thinking of modding my samsung vibrant to a non-camera one. I know it sounds silly but my workplace doesn't allow camera phones

Hi guys,
I scratched the silvery plastic around the camera lense.
Is there any way to replace it?
Anyone help?
you might email this site, see if they will be getting parts soon.

Since the focus is always outside the lens, I am sure any scratches wont actually show up on the pictures. Well this is right at least for normal cameras...

Dude,he didn't even scratch the lens itself,he scratched the silver rectangle around it.
And scratches on the lens would make image quality deteriorate and maybe could be visible in macro mode.
Ah okay my bad, I didnt read it well enough lol
I thought he was referring to the cover of the lens, the piece of glass that sits in front of the lens.
I have taken pictures on my DSLR with a broken lens cover and picture quality was not different
grrr yes i scratched the silver bit.
ill email them and see how i go. anyone no of any other spare parts sites?
also would it be easy to replace?

Me too . I think you just need a case and it haven't other ways @@
i got a quote to replace it. $107AU including labour. The silver camera plastic is attached to the entire back plate.

I've noticed that my camera is already a little scratched up and I think a year down the line it may be pretty scratched, can the lens be replaced?
Don't think so. U probably need to replace the whole cam.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to prevent camera lens scratch? I hate having a case on the phone, but if the phone is put on a table the lens is in contact with the surface... would a screen protector work?
I would buy any clear screen protector and make the cutout. It shouldn't mess with the clarity.
I put a clear tape over the camera when its not in use,

I've replaced it before on my HTC HD2. It's not so hard, once the bevel is removed the outer glass falls right out. Got my replacement from Ebay.
Sent from my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note using the XDA Premium app.
Camera protection is actually one of the main reasons I love the flip cover by Samsung. The replacement back is just a tad thicker than the stock cover around the camera lens and cause it to recess a bit protecting it from surface scratches from just being placed down.
Does anyone have any idea where we can find a replacement for rear camera lens , as many of us are facing scratches on the lens
There is no separate lens, you need to replace the whole camera module. That's why I pay more attention to that rear lens than to the LCD screen that is protected with a glass protector.
I think Motorola should give a free lens panel replacement for Moto G4 plus users 'cause most of the phones have this issue including mine, I did notice that there's a little difference in the quality of pics taken from the rear camera now that I have a few scratches
The lens on any photo camera need care in handling to avoid any scratches. Some pro lenses can take filters in front of the glass, but the point and shoot cameras don't.
Why would be different for the phone lens?
After doing some research on Google & our very own XDA I found out that the scratches are actually not on the camera glass but on the Oleophobic coating applied on the rear camera glass. There are lots of videos available on Youtube on how to remove scratches on mobile camera glass, the procedure usually needs regular white toothpaste or Rubbing Alcohol etc. My moto g4 plus's camera was giving blurred pics due to those scratches but I finally got rid of those issues. One thing is for sure that Moto has used a cheap quality Oleophobic coating on the rear camera glass & they must provide a replacement for that.

I used Colgate and seemed to remove the scratches(to some extent). What's more important is that the rear camera quality was bad with those scratches and now the camera quality has improved significantly.

Rear camera glass repair.
After my recent findings....I see that the olephobic coating on the rear camera glass got scratched. It is now of no use for me to use Colgate toothpaste or alcohol on the glass. Can someone tell me the permanent solution for this?
I got mine fixed from a mobile repair shop, where they replaced the rear lens with some plastic cutout lens. took like 15 minutes, works perfect now .

Sadly I tried the toothpaste trick and it actually ended up making more scratches ?
However on my Nexus 7 2013 it removed all scratches ?
Is the Oleophobic coating thicker on our Moto G4?
Should I scrub the toothpaste for a longer period of time?
Use Baking soda to remove scratches . It worked like a charm for me. Rub it for longer time until the camera quality is restored.

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.
