Broken Camera Glass/Lens

[Falcon11]

EDIT: I'm not talking about the battery cover. I'm talking about the glass (when you remove the cover) that covers the lens.

I don't know how this happened, probably a pencil in my pocket, but the glass that protected the camera sensor broke. It can't focus anymore without the lens.

Anyone know where I can buy a replacement?

Pretty sure it doesn't matter, considering I can take the back of my phone off and it'll focus. It's just a little thin piece of plastic to protect the camera.

There's no real lens involved.

Call HTC and ask for a replacement battery cover. When they ask why, tell them your battery cover squeaks a lot and doesn't fit correctly.

I got a new one for free.. fixed my squeak problem too.

Was gonna say, I couldn't focus mine lately, then i realised I had touch to focus on (latest CM6 nightlies include it) so I had to touch the screen to focus it then take the pic, if you know it's the glass then ignore me...

Hmm, if you're talking about the square glass piece under the battery cover, it looks to me like its just a thin layer of plain glass, like a slide cover for a microscope. But under it you can see there seems to be an actual convex lens which most likey works with another internal lens. If you cant get focus im betting it because something pressed hard enough that it damaged the aperture or an internal lens. You prob need to send it back for repair. Im guessing your aperture is f'ed though.

Same thing happened to me. Just remove it and you'll be fine. I'm not sure what its function is though, but I believe all HTC lens use the same cover, so you can probably find a broken G1 or something and switch it from there. If you decide to do that, be very careful when you remove it, as it's very fragile.

Get one of these and install it. Problem solved.


Though I'm not sure how you managed to break the glass behind your battery cover
