HTC One lens cover is thin, fragile glass

On the 15th day of ownership, I discovered that the HTC One build quality isn't all that great when I discovered that the camera lens cover is very thin, extremely fragile and cheap glass that cracks very, very easily. Neither VZ or HTC will fix it without making you give up your phone for weeks on end and paying a huge fee (more than the cost of the phone). BEWARE.

No, not correct. Not even close to being correct. Thinness doesn't necessarily mean better clarity. HTC could have used thicker material that would have been much more durable without compromising clarity. And, as I have discovered, it's not even glass. It's plastic, which easily scratches and cracks.
Also, as I stated, it won't be easy to replace because the HTC One glass cover is not easy to find. I'd have to resort to one that is the right diameter, but thicker (the HTC One X), and would not sit flush with the phone case.
Ferraris and Lambos don't fall apart during the ordinary course of normal use. This phone does, apparently, since it is in a case, I have never dropped it and I handle it with care (though not enough, apparently, since it's fragile like an eggshell) and it is still falling apart after less than 3 weeks.

Can I see depth map in a JPG photo taken on the HTC One M8 phone with the duo lens?

Can I open a JPG photo taken on the HTC One M8 phone with the duo lens & see the grey scale depth map? See Depthy.me & StereoPhotoMaker that do it for Google Camera Lens Blur photos.
Can a plug in be created to do it pls?
Will

Thanks Chris. Depthy.me & Stereo Photomaker both provide free tools to view the depth map data as a grey scale for Google Camera Lens Blur files. However, that needs you to move the camera to capture the parallax data which is impractical for photographing anything that's not still! The HTC dual lens is therefore superior as it's instant.
Once the depthmap is extracted, Stereo Photomaker then produces stereo pairs to view on a 3D TV or produces multi views that can be interlaced in Triaxes 3D Master Kit & printed as glasses free lenticulars.
HTC publish the dual lens SDK so I hope someone can easily write a plugin for Photoshop to read the HTC depth data.

Brand New HTC ONE M8 Camera Lens. DEFECT!

OMG Man, I have been looking for someone else with this issue. Please seem my post on Google+ if you have an account and please reach out to me:
(removed)
My issue is exactly the same. I sent my phone back to HTC ( AT&T ) and they sent me a new one. This morning I road my KLR over to work and same thing, it's doing the same exact issue. Duo Rear camera seems like it cannot focus and the static noise is present. I originally thought it was the power adapter I had going to the bike, but the way it was acting I also contributed the Bike vibration as a variable.
I also, have never had issue with mounting phones. I had an iPhone before, never an issue. I think HTC has a serious hardware defect with the Rear Camera. Go figure, "New phones," I hate being a Beta tester :-/

Anyone else notice iPhone 5's lens cover is uneven or tilted?

I received my pre-order black iPhone 5 on launch day (9/21/2012). I love it!
However, I noticed that when I pull the iPhone 5 out of my pocket there is often lint sticking out of the lens cover for the iSight on the back.
This morning upon closer inspection, I noticed that the lens cover is slightly tilted downwards.
It is visible to the eye, but it is especially noticeable when you run a finger across it.
I notice that the top of the lens cover is completely flush while the bottom is slightly less than flush. It is tilted inward, below the surrounding glass.
Does anyone else notice this? Is it perhaps just how it is designed?

I went to a Genius Bar appointment and after waiting 45 minutes a genius replaced my iPhone 5. In fact he replaced another one at the same time. He handled both of our cases simultaneously with an iPad away from the Genius Bar.
I'm happy with my replacement. He said it was a brand new phone, not a refurb. However, I inspected the replacement iPhone in store and I found a knick in the beveled edge and a scrape about 1cm long on the side of the iPhone. I decided that I'd rather have a couple of scrapes than a recessed camera lens. Once I got home and had it under better light I found dust under the lens. So overall I'm disappointed but I'm 99% satisfied with my device and its not worth the hassle to get a another replacement. I think there are definite quality control issues with the new iPhone, though.

IPhone 3G Case with Sliding Lens Cover?

I've seen several cases that tout a "lens cover" feature, but all they seem to be are a clear plastic shielding to protect the surface. This doesn't change the fact that if you touch it or if dirt gets on it, it will make your pictures look bad.
Has anyone found an iPhone 3G cover that actually has a sliding lens cover? Seems like a no-brainer, but I cant find a single one after a Google search.

Yep, thats the one I ended up getting. Its not meant to protect, its more of a macro lens for sharper close ups, but it serves the purpose. And even with the 3GS's auto-focus, this extra lens still seems to help take a sharper pic at close ranges. Its a bit bulkier than I had hoped, but it will keep my lens clean.
Thanks for your reply.

N95 problems with lens cover

I'm reading about issues with the lens cover of the N95.
It appears that when you open it, sometimes it doesn't work properly.
opening the shutter caused the app to load, but no video from the camera showing up, and the settings icons are leaving a trail on the screen when they slid open.
It is happening to me as well.....
Is this a know issue, and if yes, how can it be resolved?
I understand that even if i change the phone, it won't help, as it is a flaw in the design ?
Any help would be nice

Will it never connect or the the connection closes afther a while?
In the first case it can be two things.
1. The headset has reached the maximum amound of connections. Max os often 7.
2. The BT profiels are diffrent. Nothing you can do.
If the connection closes it's your Nokia phone. The nokia profile difrens from the one of the motorola. The refresh time is difrent.
Hope I helpt.

Camera lens cover broken

hi all, i had my n900 for a while now.camera lens cover(top part) has peeled off from its glue and the wire makes the cover open and close came loose by itself. i have the warranty but i do not want to send my phone just for the cover for 2 weeks. is there any place on web that i can order the lens cover only and replace it my self. its very east to remove since its plastic base.i only have the blue base on the phone now and it is loose so its keep opening the camera mode. very annoying. please help.
thanks

Take it to a store (Nokia or network) and ask if you can just have the back panel replaced. Or, try to find one online. Markets usually sell the covers too

My iPad2 slipped out of my apple magnetic cover and cracked the glass. I've heard some apple stores will replace it if you tell them what happened

Will apple replace my ipad2 if it slipped out of the magnetic cover and cracked the glass and I have only had it for 3.5 months?

Not necessarily. To say the iPad slipped out of the magnetic cover, would indicate one picked up the iPad by the cover. The cover isn't permanently attached and would not hold the iPad in place if it was picked up by the cover. You should certainly make an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar. Go in and be VERY nice and apologetic. Above all else, be honest. If you did accidentaly pick your iPad up by the cover, tell them the truth. They might take pity on you and offer you a one time replacement. But, they could also charge you an out of warranty replacement fee. There is no policy in which you would be guaranteed a free replacement. Again, nice wins. Angry loses. Good luck and I hope it has a nice outcome for you.

2nd defective HTC one. Have to get a refurbished one now. Really?

So, I experience the faint ringing with the first htc one...it also had terrible network connection problems. It had worse reception than my 3 year old Droid X. I took it in, they told me to do a factory reset and bring it back within 30 days if it happened again...it did. I got a replacement and this one has terrible built quality. The white middle section is slightly off making it higher than the metal section on the top. This also makes it so the button is flush with the top, making it difficult to push. The metal hangs over the white section on the bottom making a sharp edge. The glass also sits higher than the metal making both the top and the bottom edges sharp. The sound that comes from the headphone jack is also quite different from the first. It's extremely bass heavy and muddy even with "beats" turned off. Turning "Beats Audio" on makes it completely unacceptable.
I've had the replacement for 2 days (it's day 30 since the original). They are now saying I'll have to use insurance for a refurbished replacement. So, I paid full price, have had two defective units and now my only choice is to get a used one. What kind of garbage system is this.

Why did you even except the second phone with all the imperfections you listed. From what it sounds like a used one would probably be in better shape than the two you got, Anything returned after the free return period is replaced with a used phone, which so states in the contract you signed.

My new Galaxy S4 has blurry photos. I did remove the peel off lens cover :)

if the lighting is not perfect and I do not brace the phone against my body to hold it perfectly still all my photos come out blurry. Video is crisp and clear, the Panorama shots come out clear. Still shots are all blurry. I am sending it back for a replacement phone but I want responses on tips and tricks to being happy with the S4 camera.
Thanks,
BitCop

I had to warranty out my first Samsung Galaxy S4 for this problem. Then, 3 Galaxy S4's later I am still having problems with the phone and finally pinned into the corner that I have to take my business to ATT. Verizon offerred me an "alternate replacement" - Moto Razr HD Max (a year old phone), Galaxy Note 2 with No battery and No battery cover (*** am i supposed to do with that), Droid DNA (a phone so bad it's not even on VZ's website anymore) I tell them that these options are unnacceptable and this is all they've got. I ask for the Moto Droid Ultra or the HTC One since they are both actually comperable with the S4 and they basically tell me to **** off. Totally disgusting big business customer service with a refusal to just do their job. Somwhere Verizon forgot they are here to service me, not the other way around. Happily taking my account to ATT monday and got my attorney to waive all cancellation fees since the phones dont work

N95 LIDE OPEN LENS COVER BUT CAMERA DOESNT FIRE UP...

Hi people,
i have had my N95 for a while now but i went to use the camera and i slide the lens cover open and nothing happens. ive even gone to the barcode reader and i get "Barcode reader on standbye. Open lens cover.
can any one help cheers. Message Edited by sam_colbear on 24-Oct-200709:38 AM

Hey,
Make sure your camera's protected lens window is clean.
Normaly when you open the back camera's protected window the main camera will be activeted and it should work fine in this way unless your camera focus is missing

N900 camera lens cover stuck

I don't know if I'm on the right forum topic.
My N900 lens cover stuck halfway open. I was taking pictures and I was closing it felt sticky and now stuck.
Is this covered by warranty? If not where can i get one and how much?
Is ther a way to fix this? I don't want to take this around without a back cover.

Open the back cover and try and remove if any dirt of thread is making it like that.

Compilations: Can you show just one album cover with mixes/compiations?

Using the current iTunes (11.01) is a misery. I have numerous mix discs and compilations, and for each title eg Royksopp's BACK TO MINE mix, there are about 15 tiles of the album, one for each song. In extreme cases, there may be over 100. Since I have God knows how many songs, easily in the tens of thousands, this is an extremely inefficient way to display my collection.
Is there any way to display albums with just the one album cover and title showing each time? THis is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

Wow!
Is that really so?
I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
Thanks for the input.
I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?
