Desire Camera Lens :( Is this a common problem or just mine?

Mad_Mike

Have my phone a few weeks now and keep it in a pouch all the time, but every time I want to take a pic, I have to remove the battery cover as the lens is so bad. Anybody else have this issue, or am I on my own here??

Mines not like that at all. Is there some stitching on the top of the pouch that could be causing it?
I keep mine in my pocket and its grand.

Are you sure it's scratched? Judging from the picture it looks like it's shattered. Did you bump it against something maybe?

Mad_Mike

No stitching on the pouch where the lens goes and yeah its definitely scratched, not shattered. Kinda looks shattered in pic alright. Its very annoying. I love the phone and one of the main things I love about it is the cam, but with things the way they are now, its a total pain any time I want to use the camera.

Might mail HTC. Dunno if its worth anything though
In the meantime, I found this. Not due in until 18th June, but as it is, it's like when you get a brand new car and scratch it! You just kinda lose all your respect for it!

Was it like that when you got it ?

Bring it back where you got it perhaps ?

Woah. That's bad. When did you notice it? Was it always like this?

If you have a pic taken on the date you got the phone you might be able to prove it was already damaged when you received it.

Mad_Mike

Nope. It was fine when I got it. First pics for a week or two are perfect and I have absolutely no recollection of it getting hit or scratched, so I am totally baffled as to when or why it got so bad. Anyway, looks like I'll have to get a new back for it. At least this thread has shown me if nothing else, that it's NOT a common problem. If I posted and everyone came on complaining that their lens was the same, then it would appear to be an issue with the materials used.

By the way - nice pics - how did you take them ?

Mad_Mike

Took it with the Desire itself just with the battery cover in one hand and phone in another

maybe the warranty covers it? so you can get it repaired?
