Nokia N97 cover defect: Scratched the back camera ...

Hello everyone,
Last weekend, as I opened the back camera lens cover, I saw one straight line scratch
I was cursing myself, even though I keep my phone in a pouch. But today as I was scrolling through HOFO, I came accross a thread where people we complaining about similiar issues.
I think this is a defective design problem on N97s, if there are some dust particles under the screen then they will scratch the screen when you slide the cover to open or close it.
Will nokia take resposiblility to fix these screens, I am really **bleep** off. I have been a Nokia fan from last 7 years.
This is what we get after spending $650 USD to buy a hyped flagship device.
Could anyone tell me who to complain and how get it fixed.

well aftear reading the hofo i just smacked a screen protector in the lens, i got it from the "home button" of some iphone's screen protectors I had. as soon as I slided the cover close/open the lens (or the screen protector) got scratched so Im 100% sure that the sliding cover will scratch the lens. Not that fast, since the screen protector adds some bulk on the surface. So if you are going to do this make sure that the screen protector doesnt invade the flash zone or you will get some flashes over the picture and also make sure that it doesnt get under the lens frame I think the cover has a slider under the frame.
So finally I feel better, and the picture quality doesnt change anything even when using the flash!

  • Nokia having problem in designing the back cover f...

    did anybody noticed the difference of 5800xm between taking picture with the back cover and without the back cover?
    i can only tell that, the picture taken with back cover is juz too **bleep**, while the picture taken without back cover is clear, vivid & nice...
    before discovering this, i have heard of many people complaining about the picture quality of 5800xm. they were wandering whether the Carl Zeiss Optics on it is true or fake... and now, i know it's not the problem of the lens, but because of the back cover. it makes the LED flash to expanse to the bottom left corner of the camera, and thus making the picture with flash on looks like it's taken in the midst of the fog. 
    i hope Nokia would see this, and do something about it. at least design a better kind of back cover that can fix this problem for us to change. thxz...

    what do u mean by "u tried and it worked"? was it mean that my experiment was true, and that the problem i mentioned happened to ur 5800xm as well?
    it's ok if nokia didn't provide us the xenon flash on an Xpress Music series, Dual LED does take great image too. but at least design another good back cover for our beloved 5800xm. the Carl Zeiss Optics Lens is really good on it, and it takes good picture without the back cover...

  • Problem with the back camera in iPhone 4 (Black Shadow)

    Hi, I have a problem with the back camera. When turned on I can see a black shadow on one side and when I take the photo, appears in all the photos.
    I searched on the Internet to resolve this problem but I haven't been successful. A friend told me that maybe it is dirt that was introduced into the cover but I don't think It's true.
    The iPhone haven't dropped me for some quite time and don't crashing.
    Look here is a photo to show you how the black shadow looks like:
    Please, anyone know what the problem can be?

    It certainly does work.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • AppleCare Scratched the back of my iPod!

    When I sent my iPod Video 60GB to AppleCare because the HDD wasn't working, they scratched the back (metal side) when they were fixing it. I don't think that I should have a scratched up iPod from Apple, because I took every precaution so that I wouldn't scratch it. I went to an Apple Store and the guys there said to call AppleCare and they will do something about it, but I'm wondering what you guys think. Images:

    Sorry about the quality, all I have is a camera phone. Make sure you look at the last 6 because they show the scratches the best.

    Can't they scratched the metal! Plus, I paid my $60 for the 2 year warranty so that when it broke they would fix it. After they get it working, they scratch up the whole back. Thats completely unacceptable for a repair. I just realized I didn't block out the serial # Oh well.

  • TS1292 hi, I've got itunes music card for my birthday and when I scratch the back to redeem the code everything gone, so no code, what can I do?

    hi, I've got itunes music card for my birthday and when I scratched the back to redeem the code everything gone, so no code, what can I do? I've been to tesco to customer service and they told to contact itunes support

    These are user-to-user forums. If the page that you posted from doesn't help then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Taking picture with the back camera causing iphone to reboot

    Hi,
    I've purchased a brand new Iphone 4, whenever I try to take picture with the back camera, it causes the Iphone to reboot. I tried rebooting it multiple time, resetting all the settings, but it doesnt solve it.
    Any Idea on how to solve this ?

    If a Reset and a Restore from backup and as a new iPhone or not from backup does not resolve these two issues, time to give AppleCare a call, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • My camera broke on my Iphone, just the back part of the camera, the front one still works...anyways the back camera is just very blurry and foggy and I was wondering if there was an attachment I could buy to screw in to the top like the ones off Amazon?

    Clean the lens first.
    No add on is going to "fix" a broken camera if that is the case.
    The only real solution would be to take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Can you easily scratch the back of the iPad mini with your fingernails?

    I have a iPad mini with retina display and I'm worried that my fingernails might scratch the back.

    It is probably possible but I would think unlikely. The back is made of aluminum which could get scratched but I don't think your nails could do it. Neither my iPad nor my wife's iPad have ever gotten scratched from our use.

  • I have an iphone 4 had it for awhile but yesteday the back camera is blurry. I've had this happen before but it looked like therewas steam in the camera lens and I let that air out and it went back to normal. So whats the problem this time?

My mom isn't willing to buy me another iphone because before I went to a concert and the speakers messed up half the screen. If its the software acting up can I get a free new one?

    Moisture has somehow entered your iPhone and specifically the camera. They will do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD.

  • Scratched the Backing of my MBP.

    I have badly scratched the backing of my Macbook Pro. Since the part is user-removable, I was hoping I could find one online to buy. Unfortunately my searches have yielded zero results. Is there anyone on here who could help me in some way find a back for a Macbook Pro (late 2008)?

    You can buy them online, but they are kind of pricy.
