Touch Pro 2 - Battery Cover/Camera fix?

Ok here's what i've found and i need some suggestions or maybe a workaround.

I found that when taking pictures with the battery cover on, takes not so great pictures. Using the same settings and without changing anything, it takes considerably different quality pictures without the battery cover on.
I tried to clean the clear shield that protects the camera but i'm really thinking about drilling a hole or something to get rid of the plastic.

Many times now i have taken pictures that were once in a lifetime and they turned out bad.

here's a good comparison below:
<with battery cover

< without battery cover

<without battery cover

<with battery cover

Re: Touch Pro 2 - Battery Cover/Camera fix?

Only 3 tines???... Welcome to the club.
I take bad pictures all the time. LOL.

I think you're on the right track however you have to consider the dust that will accumulate in the lense once you remove the protection. I've thought about removing the battery cover to take pictures and putting it pack on once I'm done.

p.
removing the cover would take too long to try to take a pic of something that can't be taken again
but in any case, it would also eventually wear it out and keep it from staying on. mine is already cracked around the stylus holder, think it happened from having to remove the battery a few times from freezing on some ROM's.

i have considered that it would get dusty and dirty, but cleaning the camera directly vs the cover which is alot harder to do since its not smooth, but inside an inlet, i have considered the consequences before thinking about removing the plastic

now, if there is a better battery cover out there that has a much thinner piece of plastic and is clearer than the current one, i'd bite

heck, a black matte cover would be nice too :P

Re: Touch Pro 2 - Battery Cover/Camera fix?

I just pushed the plastic cover out of the battery door. It's just glued in and comes out very easily and reinstalls just as easy if you dont like it. I also havent noticed an accumulation of dust. I looked a friends blackberry and thats exactly how blackberry did it. No cover and recessed beneath the battery door so its still protected. Just my 2cents.

do you have a picture of what it looks like without the piece you removed?
the only piece i see that actually comes off is the whole black piece that is part of the speakerphone button and the HTC logo on it

Re: Touch Pro 2 - Battery Cover/Camera fix?

The green tint is a clue. There is a thin plastic scratch protector (for shipping) on the inside of the battery cover. It's supposed to be removed! Check it out.

Re: Touch Pro 2 - Battery Cover/Camera fix?

Sure do, but I think it may be because I have a US Cellular phone and the battery cover is different. It's hard to see in the picture but the lens cover has been removed.

Re: Touch Pro 2 - Battery Cover/Camera fix?

just to ask an obvious question. the inside of the cover has a blue piece of plastic over it when the device comes. It's to protect the lens. have you taken this off?

sorry, but I'm not stupid, i looked for one of those cling protectors like all phones usually come with, and i removed every one when i got the phone last year.

and fyi, i'm not the only one that has this issue.
