[FIXED] Camera lens blurred

---

Hi guys, just noticed that my DZ camera lens is "blurred" out bad (I don't use my phone's cam regularly). It looks like scratches, see photos, but its more like coating wear off. I've seen disassembly photos, and it seems that the lens is glued to the back housing, which costs $89.99! Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks!

Are you able to get a replacement from your carrier for free?

Um, carrier, no, but warranty is still available, but I read in the warranty statement that scratches or cracks on lens are not covered.

Try ti check ebay and see what u can find. If not and all fails, get some plastic x ploish. And rub it on there. I used that stuff for my headlights, ipod and some other clear plastic stuff. It always worked out great.
The stuff is called plastic x its about $5 from walmart

Thanks for the tip. EBay doesn't seem to have the back housing, however I found one at HTCrepairparts.com for $89.90. I'll try to visit the service center, and hopefully get it fixed, with the right words (got my touch fixed that way ). If all else fails, i'll try looking for that polish. Thanks!

Just got back my Desire Z from servicing, and its beautiful, they totally changed the back lens, which included the back housing! Awesome, no more smudges now!

toothpaste

I had the same problem with my HTC G2, with the camera so scratched all my pics were blurred. I fixed it pretty cheaply by polishing the lens with a little bit of toothpaste! 2 mins of rubbing with toothpaste and a little bit of cardboard and 95% of the lens is clear again and scratch free. My pics are sharp and in focus again. I have a few minor marks around the edge still as they are hard to reach, but they are not affecting the picture or focusing.

Hope this helps somebody

what kind of tooth paste and how does this work?

Is this a joke, toothpaste? Come on guys. Should have gone with Squaretrade.

Tooth paste has mild abrasive in it. This isn't a joke and really does work.
