Hi. I have a stupid question (or not) about K850i. Sorry if someone asked that before.
Well, it has been 9 months until I got this phone, no problems at all, but... something it's getting me crazy.
Well, the question is... why did SE put a lens cover on it if they put an glass cover (?!) upside ? I can't understand...
The big problem is that inside that glass (between lens cover and glass), some dust has entered there and I can't remove it.
So how can I remove that glass for clean up ?
What happens if I remove that glass anyway ?

Sorry for my bad english.

You must go to the sand beach and put your phone deep into it....

you will see no more any dust from sand

-Take the phone to a repair center so they can dissamble it and clean up the lens cover or if you know how to do it ...
-Nothing will happen, you can remove the glass and use the camera like that, i think someone here made it and it even improved the picture quality.

In theory may have been to make the entire back cover flat and glossy looking, or that SE designed a delicate auto shutter and put a piece of protective glass on top, ie. auto shutter protects the lens from sunlight and the glass protects the autoshutter.

So you have 3 options:
1. The dust won't have much noticeable effect, i got over it pretty quickly
2.If you have a SE service centre near you, they can disasemble and clean it for you
3.Get some torx screwdrivers and open it up( there are instructions if u look it up) and take off the glass and use a can of compressed air to clean up OR just forget about putting the glass bak on altogether. From what i've heard it has little adverse effect other than having it look a bit different, but you'll never have to wipe it again

Thanks for answers, I think I'll keep it how it is now. I dont' have any services near me anyway, and I don't want to stay without my phone more than 2 days.
I hope that SE will make a camera-phone with a real auto-lens cover, like Samsung Pixon or Innov. Then I'll upgrade my phone.

I have another question. The picture quality is better if I remove that glass ? Or is getting even worse ?

i also got this problem in my previous k850, they didnt make the glass airtight thats why dust easily gets in and gathers inside the glass. i just used my nail and lifted the glass up and it came off, but i didnt notice any change in the picture quality. so if you want you can remove the glass but it will make the auto lens cover susceptible to external damage.

Well photo quality won't improve( although i have heard people saying that there is less purple fringing). But if you remove it you won't have to worry about the protective cover being dirty which will ruin the photo quality. Since i just keep mine on i can live with wiping it down once in awhile
