Has anyone else had this, and if so, what did you do about it? I was taking pics yesterday and it worked just fine. I took a picture this morning, and everything was good. However, I just took a picture, and when I turned the camera off, the lens cover is still open. Tried restarting the phone, taking a new pic, everything, the lens cover won't close.

Granted, it does have clear plastic over the lense, but it's still annoying. Has anyone else had this, and how did you fix it?

Edit: If the only thing you can think of is a master reset, no thanks, but thank you. It's not THAT important that I want to lose my settings.

Yes, that was a common bug on the K850. As far as I can remember, it goes away eventually.

Oh, so it is fairly known? I have the latest firmware, so I don't think the Update Service'll do anything. It does go away though? How long does it usually take? Anything I can do to speed it up? It's weird seeing my camera lense.

I have a problem with mine not opening sometimes.
I just give it a few taps around the lens cover with my finger
to get it to open.

Haha, thank you! It worked! It seemed stupid to me at first, cause I literally spent almost all afternoon shaking my phone, trying to jar it loose, so I didn't think tapping it would work. However, I gave it several gentle, but very firm taps and started the camera, then tapped it more and stopped the camera. The lens cover closed and then my phone froze and restarted, but the lens cover opens and closes now! Thank you very much! So does that mean this is faulty hardware, or is it a glitch in the software?
