Absolutely nothing

I just stick the Singtel logo sticker just underneath the lense. The sticker is slightly thicker than the lense so it prevents scratching if you put the phone on table.

I don't have the link, but I remember that someone here in XDA who managed to damage it reported the camera has a plastic protection.
I tried using a piece of screen protector (home button waste) to protect the camera lens, but it resulted in horrible pictures. Therefore, I decided to leave it naked. Nevertheless I use a protector case which doesn't let the camera lens touch the surfaces where the phone rests, preventing scratches.
Hi all did a search and found nothing mentioning this problem, basically it's really easy to build up dust under the camera lens cover. I've made a video showing how to lift the cover, clean and replace it.
You will need
Your S3
a small pin!
about 3 minutes of your time.
The problem I had was poor autofocus and a white cast across one side of my images, this solved it hope it helps some of you.
is it suitable for Galaxy Note II ?
Mine was abused with dust (Qatar), heh and i have no dust under this.
Return it, because it's not a design defect, maybe a batch had this issue.
Interesting any one else found no issue?

AWESOME! thanks for the video.
I´m having the same problem with dust but this didn´t solve it... must be deeper within the lenses.
Hi guys,
My new black galaxy s4 has a gap between the screen and the bezel.
its right above the speaker. Quite noticeable.
I can even slide piece of paper between it.
Should I ask for an exchange?
Yes... its obviously a manufacturers fault.

Helloel everyone,
I tried searching to no avail. I have dropped my phone and had to sand down the front chrome bezel. I would prefer not to replace it.
Can anyone direct me to a specific model paint that matches? I bought a chrome paint but it's pebbled.
Model numbers would be awesome.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I have not heard of any.
But is it insured or under warranty? If is is maybe you could get it replaced for free.

Unfortunately I dropped the phone and it dented the bezel. I don't think it is warrantied.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried a silver model paint which looked promising..but it didn't stick. I also tried X-11 paint but it was too "speckly".
My last option is the chrome spray paint. I will be spraying it onto a plate and using small brushes to transfer it to the bezel. Will keep the forum posted.

I'm also looking to fix the small chips on the chrome part of my Note 2 before giving it to my mum. Gonna buy some paint from Halfords and see what happens. Damn plastic.
It's may sound silly but I wanna ask you guys. It's our camera lens are scratch resistant?

No.
Well, yes, but only to a certain hardness of course.
It's made by glass or plastic?

The multi-element lens is made out of plastic, but the lens holder that is facing the outside world is cut out from glass. As said before, it will take some scratches, but same rules apply as for the screen: try to protect it from damage.
Can it take being put on the surface of a smooth table? Yes. Can it resist keys, sand and knives? No.

No. It is normal glass without a scratch resistant feature.
Don't forget that there's a plastic removal protector on there from factory that can be removed... I remember this was a big fail on the S4 and had end users freaking out, or maybe that was just me lol

Some phones have the lens protector, some don't.
I am on my third gs5, first 2 didn't even have a protector over the camera lens and the 3rd one does
I'm going to leave it on since there's a nice cutout for the camera optic, so it doesn't interfere with photos

I left mine on as well however I remember how much of a pain it was on the S4

why was it a pain? the cutout hole is perfect size and doesn't get in the way of the quality of the photos......
i remember i took a picture of something with the cover on, and then without it, and it was exactly the same...no loss in quality
It was causing some users interference with the camera. That was the issue I had at least.

Scratched camera lens, photo quality
My S5 camera quality has dropped significantly lately. The photos have become quite grainy, especially in mid and low light. I compared it to friend's S5 and you can see the difference right on the screen even without taking a photo. My camera lens is with scratches, friend's not. Can it be the reason ? If so, is it possible to get the scratches out somehow ? I have seen videos of scratch repair for HTC One M8 (http://youtu.be/xhhOcIRMfWc ). Can it work on S5 ? Any advice, any solution ?
