> K850i 'Cyber-shot' Dust issue - My Fix!
Bookmark topic
The Sony Ericsson K850i has had a fault identified by the majority of its users, with Dust issues and dust getting behind the lens cover.
I have developed a 'fix' of some sort - which I thought my be useful for some of the K850i users out there!
The body of the phone was opened, and the rear of it exposed, from where I removed the Glass lens cover which sits over the actual camera lens cover. It looks correct now, and is more like how the K850i should have been, not with a cover, OVER the cover - I have attached a picture to show the result - I hope this helps!

seems that se fans are more smart how to manage dust bugs, maybe se should give more space for swedish ( former /// ) workers, at lesat they know how to make quality fones and let the asian friends learn and develope theself...

Hey Guys,
The phone was very easy to open, I used my Credit Card, although any plastic card will do the trick - and no, I did not use anything to clean the Glass, I actually removed it - so there is no Glass cover!
It seems to have improved my photos - So thats an upside!
Plus, I have been a Sony Ericsson user (and keen mechanic!) for a long time - just be careful not to crack the back surface of the phone.
Good Luck!

Let us know how it goes from now on. Any damage by doing this or any maintenance issue should be reported.

But doesn't that expose the lens to pick up scratches? I can do with a few specs of dust but what if the lens gets scratched???

Glad to see that there are other SE users too that agree that it was dummy and a big mistake by SE to put a glass cover over the actual lens cover on k850.
That is a clever solution to the problem, but do people have to open up the device to get over the problem, and at the same time lose the warranty of a brand new phone?
For the moment I prefer the k810.

YOU REMOVED THE GLASS ?????????????????
ARE YOU CRAZY...... HE HE HE HE ?????????
the lens cover is made in very thin plastic and will break very easily (if you get something stiff right to it...keys, etc, etc) !!!!!
did you remove the glass just because of the dust ??? or some else reason ???
...i think the protection glass dosent make your pictures worse.....(maybe this talk about polarized film on the glass had maybe improve the quality...but no glass..njjaaa)
you know this new guy "GERBAN"...he learned me some new outdoor tricks, and they worked very well...so im quite satisfield with my k850 right now
)
do you have some pics now & before (whit & whitout the glass ?????
ps
can you put the glass back with out any problem ???? or must you break something to put it back ???

Well, every camera phone has same protection over the lens. It is just problem here that it is oversized and can be scratched.
But phone is made to be fashion gadget, I really don't see a problem here.. I use SE sock (I got it here in China) and it is protected very well. I think SE should provide one sock of quality material to keep such a beauty piece intacted.
There is really no need to remove anything from it....
