Today, I discovered that the reason the phone I've had for a year takes such terrible and cloudy pictures is because I never took the plastic coating off the lens. FML

Yeah haha I did feel pretty silly. My phone is one of those old ones that you flip open and it has a keyboard, so to my memory the inner screen didn't have a protector. The one over the camera was very flush to the lens so it didn't bubble or anything and looked perfectly normal, I thought it was just a shit camera since it was an old model of phone. I wouldn't have found it if my nail hadn't caught the corner when I was putting it in my pocket and pulled it up some. The worst part was as #3 said, since it was actually my birthday party and my boyfriend and all my family were there to witness the look of stunned realization on my face, followed by my announcement that I was, in fact, an idiot. Oh well, at least I have a decent camera now!

I find that there's nothing more satisfying than pulling the plastic off the glass for the first time! YDI For not doing that immediately OP haha.

You didn't once think to clean the lense and realize there was plastic on it?

Hahahahahaha, I did the exact same thing with my old phone. From your description we had similar phones too, so maybe it's just not that uncommon on older camera phones.

It's ok, after having my phone for a month I called in to apple because the call volume wasn't loud enough. They had me do a bunch of things, which didn't work, and then the next day when I called back they told me to take off the screen cover.

I did the same thing, but my friend dropped my phone and I saw a scratch on the lens and then noticed the cover so it was all good.

I remember a time long ago where people were smart and phones were just phones. Now it's phones that are smarter than people. YDI
