I took some video with the Evo around the house yesterday and put it together into this video. Let me know what you think.

The only downside is that it comes with a little magnetic ring you have to stick onto your camera. It's nice in that it will help protect your camera but it does make it stick out a little further and it seems like something you could lose very easily.
niiice, i love those fly shots!
can we get some pictures of it on your evo? or a video of how well it stays on?
Very Nice
Wow...that was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I thoroughly enjoyed that.
that was amazing! i just ordered my macro lens yesterday. can't wait to fiddle around in more depth with my evo's camera!!

I'll try to take some pictures tonight. The little magnetic washer seems to stay on pretty well but it's not completely solid. The magnet in the speaker is enough to pull on it and is constantly moving it just slightly. It's on there securely enough that I don't think it will fall off easily but if it got caught on my pocket or something it might not last long. If it doesn't bother me after a while I may glue it on there permanently.
The lens itself magnetizes like a champ. I think the magnetism is stronger then the glue so you have to sort of slide it off to avoid pulling the washer off rather than just yanking it away from the phone.

in a week I'm gonna be going to a concert. I need to get my phone waterproof prior to the concert. I'm gonna go cheap easy and efficient. my initial idea was use 2 condoms just to prevent liquid from getting in on the phone. then I started to think I'll need the camera to take pictures and video but theres condoms covering the camera and taking away from the clarity. Its there any easy easy way to achieve this.

Yes! Haha classic
Isnt there lube in most condoms ? Wouldn't that mess up something? It's been a while since I used one,probably explains my three kids existing

Yes, most do. But, you can get "dry" condoms. Problem with those is that they really aren't clear.
Double seal ziploc bag would do the OP better.
(see, this post/thread has nothing to do with modding...hehe)
Yeah.. I was going to say not go the the ones with lube lol...
That would be funny
A good clean Saran Wrap job may work. Its Cheap to try. Test it out. It may cost you a few feet of clear plastic wrap. a couple layers may do the trick
shrink wrap like you put over your window in the winter time at least those of us who live up north

Funny but you might have better luck burning the seams closed with a lighter rather than trusting the ziplock itself old school baggie style

A vacuum sealer (the ones for food)...they heat seal. Or dip it in hot wax. (No seriously...don't do that).

yeah, shrink wrap would work well. I used to mess with one at my old job, if you find a place that shrink wraps, they might even be nice and just do it for you, I imagine you can still use the touch screen without difficulty too. What on EARTH is intended to happen at this concert? I've been to a few with my vibrant and it was never at any risk of being submerged in water?? Ha

Well, sounds like all he wants to do is avoid it getting wet from rain. And it would do the trick. But, these would do it even better. I know for a fact that these work, as I have used them before when kayaking.
So i just got my refurb a week later.
I noticed some things...
1) The plastic it came with had a little hole for the FFC lol.
2) the camera band-outside is green instead of clear like my old one... is this a different camera or something?
and....
IT HAS 2.2!!!!!!!!!!!
A modified phone? you should change it again, or stay if you like FFC?

the camera's on refurb/replacement phones have this little blue platsic stuff to protect the camera bezel in travel. it's not a solid sheet, it's just a "ring".
is that supposed to be funny because tmo screw you over ? PPP j/k

Sorry, can you clarify if you are throwing your phone on the ground in an effort to fix this? If so, stop. Seriously, don't do it.
Looks like dirt on the lens. Is it on every picture you take?

That's not going to stop it suffering shock damage and the silicone case will NOT protect the phone to that much of an extent. *!&*%

Did you clean the lense?
I'm guessing that dirt has probably got on to the inside made worse by your throwing the phone onto the ground (I hope that's a joke I really do....)

I agree with this but to me it looks like maybe small pieces of broken plastic or glass between the lens.. the only way to remove this would be to open the phone and clean it out, I wouldn't recommend doing this yourself though.. maybe try to contact your local HTC repair centre and see if they would be able to do this for you.
@ronalgps: sounds like you have maybe dislodged the camera or broken the connection in some way from the fall.. as I said above try to contact your local HTC repair centre and see if they can fix this for you.

like I said.. sounds like something is in between the lens so depending on how much you move the phone maybe they move out of place for a while.
So my front facing camera has so much crud behind the glass I cant even use it. My phone is in perfect shape and ATT says its not covered under warranty.
Anyone else have this problem?
it happens, if you're comfortable taking apart your phone you can clean it i guess. it's because there isn't a proper guard inside the speaker (you can take a look at it, it's just a hole in the screen; particles of dust slide into it with ease)

Try using compressed air to blow out the dust particles. It usually works.
If you do get it cleaned out an Otterbox or some other case like it will reduce the chance of getting dust in it again. To be completely honest the Atrix's front camera sucks pretty bad, compare it to several other phones ffc side by side in the same light and you will see how horrible it looks. In low light you might as well not even bother, while other phones in low light dont have the same prob. Anytime I vid chat I have to sit in the one chair in the room with a standing lamp and aim it on myself otherwise it looks like ****.

If you use compressed air, make sure the air quality is very good, with no moisture/water in the line.
there was a known issue a while back cant remember when, but if you have a certain type of screen cover was doing is other wise if its under the corning g. glass you will have to find a way to remove it which im assuming is glued on clean the under side and put back on i would assume

i guess i have low standards for a camera, but mine is just fine for my needs. i only use it to have a video call to my family back in Georgia, otherwise i have no use for it. and it works perfectly for that.

Call Motorola. Then you can send it in to them and they fix should fix it. Because you have a 1 year motor warranty, not AT&T warranty.

Agreed..
So I just but my s4 today from sprint. I f****** love this thing. But on the rear camera it looks like there's this film covering the lens. Kinda like the film you peel off the front screen and whatnot. Actually that's what I thought it was so I tried peeling it off (not hard), but that shiz wasn't coming off. I've shot some pics and I think they look fine. I can push on the 'film' and it will move around a little bit. It looks like there are little nics and scrapes (barely noticeable) around the edge of the camera, but idk if that's from the manufacturing process or what. Does anyone else have this on their s4? If not, I wonder if I have a faulty device. I've included some pictures, taken from the front camera on my nexus 7 (which was difficult to do) so you know what I'm talking about. Any feedback is appreciated!! Best phone I've ever owned, and I haven't even rooted it yet!
That's the protection cover, you can remove it

Are you sure dude? No matter how hard I try it won't come off. I feel like I'm gonna break it somehow. Do you have an s4?
haha It is definitely a protective film.
It is a bit hard to remove but it comes off

Ok thanks guys. Haha I must sound like a moron. This is my first really nice smartphone. So im kinda in love right now, and dont want to hurt my precious s4
I know how you feel, a few other threads on the same subject as yours have come up, that film is hella hard to get off.. took me 10 mins lol, was so scared I'd wreck something.. but it's deff supposed to come off. there's also film on the sides of the phone I didn't notice till day 2, anyways back to camera, yeah remind that shiz!

Yep, you can remove it, took me a while to, but it began annoy me as part of it was up, so I eventually took it off.
I took off this lense protector last night. It took me 5 minutes lol Now it looks much better.
Thought I was the only one wondering about this , thanks guys.
