HTC One (M8): Camera Lens Issue

[Cory Livingston]

Re: Camera lens cover issue

I don't notice anything in my pictures either for some reason. When I saw it, I thought the camera was going to be useless for sure. I just finished up a chat with a T-Mobile rep, and the first thing they asked was if I had heard any crackling or popping sounds when taking pictures. According to them "There seems to be an issue with the camera and it makes a popping or crackling sound, this could cause your camera to crack."

The default camera shutter sounds like a "popping or crackling" sound...

Mine makes a high pitched "clicking" sound. Not sure how that would crack a lens. I am a "pocket carrier" and show no signs of cracks or scratching on either one of my lenses or my screen. I feel bad for those that do but i just don't see how that would crack a screen, especially if it's only plastic as some claim.

I am sad about my lens cover too.. I am super anal about keeping the phone pristine. Had a case from day 1, never dropped but it seems there are more and more scratches as the days go by.. I am stumped.

Mine has been in a leather case since day one, yet the camera lens looks like a brillo pad has been on it. I'm very good at looking after my phone and its only ever in my jeans pocket or on a table.
So now all my photos are blurry and quite frankly ****.

I called HTC and opened a case with them. They emailed me a pre-paid shipping label and will look at it once I send it in.. gotta figure out how to s-on now.. :/

Can I upload photos to this thread from my phone? I'd like to show you all how bad it is. It's like having a 3 mega pixel phone

LOL.
It looks pretty bad, both your photos and his. Hopefully, HTC would fix or replace the phone for you. Good luck.

You could try using a very small amount of toothpaste and buff the lens cover. Toothpaste has some grit in it that acts as an abrasive and will polish the cover. It's worth a shot
