This is my biggest fear as well.

I dont care about the non-removable battery or no sd-card, neither if the SGS3's Exynos processor wipes the floor with Tegra 3.

But this Camera Design is really off the charts. I received my One X yesterday and only carried it in my really clean jeans pocket without anything else. Tiny scratches already. Think that a screen protector will noticeably lower camera quality in various situations.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I thought I had a scratch the other day but it came off.

When I put my phone down it is always on top of my official htc leather case, seems to be doing ok so far, touch wood.

Thanks for sharing this!
[HTC One X] 1earful:
Interesting conversation, but my Martin Fields protector seems to be doing fine re the lens. Just a couple of points: this is an 8 mp phone camera. No special claims about the lens glass quality,although one aspect that very much attracted me is that it shoots at f2. The software is not Lightroom quality and even if it were, the camera makes no pretentions to shooting raw. Even on a supposedly high-quality camera like my Leica, with not exactly cheap lenses, you would shoot raw to maximize the possibility of achieving a high quality output. If shooting in a dark environment and using a flash, your photo can still come out looking unevenly lit, hazy, etc., depending on a lot of factors. If you choose to shoot without a flash, well, not all cameras do well at their highest claimed ISO, which is one reason that people use tripods with a lower ISO and slower shutter speed.

I prefer not having to deal with a scratched lens that could end up ruining every photo to occasionally dealing with some of the effects of glare/flare, etc. Which is one of the reasons I finally caved and decided a couple of my Leica and dslr lenses needed protective filters - and purists will often tell you that even the best "interfere" with the lens.

Try shooting without the flash whenever possible. At f2, this little phone camera can do more than you think and actually produces better (imo) colors.

After a month of use I too have a few scratches on the lens glass around the rim. Nothing to compromise the capture quality yet, but it is clear that this issue will progress without protective measures.

I have been quite careful with the device, carrying it in my pocket without anything else, and now and then putting it on a table. Seems like in incredibly bad engineering solution to make both screen and back cover scratch resistant, yet let the camera lens be compromised so easily, plus placing it right where the phone inavitably contacts any surface it rests on.
[HTC One X] jupppo:
I have scratches on ly lens as well. I now put a bit of protection foil over it, which I can replace.
[HTC One X] jfrock25:
I have scratches as well. I have been really carefull with my phone. The scratches are just from setting it down and thats it. It amazes me that they made the lens design like this. Having the Ring stick out a tad further would have prevented all of this.

I just started using a pouch as I dont like the normal cases. Sometimes I still need to set my phone down and dont want to put it back in the pouch if its going to be for a second.

Thinking about buying the the HTC flip case. Unfortunately they only have it in white and I have the black phone.
[HTC One X] Sultan OS:
Guys are you sure you have a scratch in the camera lens or just a light reflection from inside the Camera because this what I used to think for the past three weeks until last night I was cleaning My Hox and I realized its not a scratch its just a light reflection coming from inside the camera I even told my brother to check it and he said the same thing.

i did that to i'm so careful with my baby (lol) and i was like NO WTF! but sure enough it was just the light

[HTC One X] rajitsingh:
If you did do that, then you're not careful enough with your device. I've had my device from the week it launched in India (~6 weeks) and I haven't ever put it down on a solid surface.

Always put it in it's pouch whenever putting it down.

That would be nice, but unfortunately the corporate world is not driven by user petitions. Especially if that means changing their manufacturing processes for something that can be avoided.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Although we are all being careful now, the idea of a phone you cannot put down on a table without fear of damaging it, is quite frankly, pathetic. Napkins, pouches, special cushions....I mean what the hell are we doing? It's madness!

But more than any of this, I have noticed that due to the distance between the lens/cover and the "real" lens of the camera, if you get fingermarks on the lens it interferes much more significantly with the resulting imaging quality than other designs. Normally the external lens/cover is much closer to the real optical elements so even with finger smudges it has very little effect on the picture.

I use the HTC V701 cover on mine which fortunately receeds the lens enough that you can put it down on a table safely.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:

Here a thought u could punch a circle out of a screen protector,then punch a smaller circle in the center of that. Then put the hoop on the lense, cause i think the camera only looks through a small center portion.

[HTC One X] witek_77:

[HTC One X] hutzdani:
Looks to me like the lens housing part is fixed to the back plate of the phone, I reckon we could see a news lense protector as an service upgrade or a 3rd party rubber stick on ring as the whole lenses is glass and the camera is sat in the centre and some of the glass is not in front of the cameras FOV.

I'm going to try a rubber foot with a hole drilled into it and see how that fairs.
[HTC One X] hutzdani:
I wonder if the lens cover on the reverse can be pushed off from the inside ? looks like it can be.
[HTC One X] dodge3003:
I don't know how accurate this info is. I read and saw on a video that a small scratch on a lens for a mobile phone does not affect it at all, due to focal points and other info I did not understand! I have no scratches so far but am worried also :-(
[HTC One X] Cloudane:
No damage to the lens here but some marks appeared all over the metal ring around it (if held in sunlight) despite very careful placement on surfaces, after 2 days.

Since then I grabbed this hard but rubberised shell:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...ile?redirect=true&ref_=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Fits very snugly, sticks out at the lens area so it protects it, only adds like 1mm to the thickness... fiver well spent. Avoid if you use a docking station as it covers the pogo pins.

Only worry is in the past hard shells have scuffed my phones more than leaving unprotected. But this has a sort of silicone coating and doesn't move so - fingers crossed.

Did a google search and found this thread...

I have an AT&T version of the One X and just noticed today that the glass over my camera is cracked. :eek: :( Only had the phone for a week and a half and it's been in a hard shell, two piece case.

I've never been considered the type that is rough on my phones at all. I can usually own a phone for months and it still looks brand new. It's never been dropped and it's kept in my left front pocket by itself so not sure how this could have happened.

Not sure what would be the best solution at this point...

I have at&t insurance on the line but unfortunately their deductable is ridiculous.
[HTC One X] fizzlington:
Dropped it on concrete yesterday. Scratched the absolute crap outta the lens. Doesn't seem to make a difference with photo results though
[HTC One X] SasparillaFizz:
What scratches will look like in the photos

Scratches on the lens often won't be very visible in pictures (until you have enough to start fogging the lens), but they show up the most when you have bright light or sunlight falling on the lens - and then they would show up in the photo as an out of focus smudge / smoky area in the picture.

I love the lens design....but there's a reason you don't see camera lenses looking like this....and it's the reason XTC had to put the glass right at the very top, because if they recessed the glass down in the nipple they'd get shadows on parts of the glass (messing with the pictures) from the sides of the lens cover (since its so narrow at the top instead of being large and wide open to avoid this, good lens design would basically invert the lens nipple design - which wouldn't look nearly as cool).

Restoring Lens

Hi,

I had the same problem exactly, and i have just joined to give you the solution that I used. My HTC photos are sharp and clear as before now.

The solution is very simple ... all what you need is a clean glasses cleaning cloth, glass cleaner (like windex) and tooth paste !! yes tooth paste!

First clean the cover with the glass cleaner ... keep it wet .. apply a tiny portion of tooth paste on it .. rub it with the cloth ... keep it wet all the time.

Repeat till you get the lens back to its original state ... or at least 90 % :) ... the technique used is similar to the one used in cleaning car head lights .. similar to this video for example:

youtube. com/watch?v=b1_sFEOGTMc

I hope u find it useful.
[HTC One X] maxilick:

[HTC One X] wally80:
Guys, I think we are not all tuned to the same types of scratches here. This is what I have on my lens:

I'm pretty sure toothpaste will not have any effect on that. :D

Anyway, even with this horrible scratch, I am not able to see any deterioration in my shots.

I was considering to completely remove the glass. This made a very good improvement in the quality of the shots on my old Desire, but I am afraid to do that to my HOX.

EDIT: the picture was taken with the HOX itself in front of a mirror in macro mode

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weirddan455:
Does anyone have a list of changes? Or even an unofficial list? So far there have been four 4.0.4 updates and it's getting a little confusing. Ignoring the first VZW leak (IMM30) there have been IMM76B, the first official 4.0.4, then IMM76I released only to GSM owners. I remember reading that the AOKP team said this was strictly a kernel update. Leankernel and faux kernel both integrated these changes.

Now there's the Verizon update that comes with a brand new build number, IMM76K. So now that everyone who wants to have had a chance to flash it, I ask you. What's different? Is the kernel version different? Any bug fixes? Or did they just feel like updating the build number for the hell of it because it's Verizon? lol

Right now I'm running AOKP Milestone 5 with leankernel 3.4.0 so I should have everything from IMM76I (if there's anything in there that even makes a difference for us LTE users). Is there anything in IMM76K that would be worth loosing all the AOKP stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481044

you're already on 4.0.4, VZW 4.0.4 is just the same GSM 4.0.4 its just been approved for the VZW network.

the important thing you need to get out of it is to flash its radios and bootloader [optional]

but at least the radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weirddan455:
Oh yea forgot to mention the radios. I already flashed those on top of AOKP. I was previously running the radios from the last 4.0.4 leak and the bootloader is the same (PRIMELA03). I first flashed the factory 4.0.2 radios and bootloader just to be safe. Then I flashed the new radio and bootloader zip in clockwork mod.

I was asking if there's any changes in the actual ROM, aside from the radios and bootloader.

So there is no way to run the ICS leaks safely right now? I'm on liquid and love it...I might be imagining things but did I read somewhere that using neobuddy's LP6 rooted kernel is safe?

I guess I'm just an idiot. Fastboot just gets me stuck at the FFF yellow triangle and stops. Recovery and Normal boot don't start the device all the way, so I can't access it from my computer to add a ROM.zip file to the /SD card.

From what the post says, you need to be in fastboot. KFU doesn't see my device in any of the boot modes either.

I have a Incredible S stuck in HBOOT and cannot seem to get it restarted again.

I have spent nearly 3 days trying to resolve this but to no avail.

Can access CWM but get cant mount message as soon as I start, can't flash RUU as revolutionary prevents it, have no usb driver access so adb and fastboot is out of the question and after wiping caches and system, plus dalvik still nothing after trying to install a custom rom.

I either end up with Status 1 or 7.

So before I go and get this thing JTAGGED does anyone have a stock gingerbread backup for CWM I could have to try and resurrect this phone? :confused:
