Okay i've been trying to track down where to get the front facing camera to install for my 8525. I actually saw an auction on youtube but i couldnt find a case so i didnt order (big mistake since now i found a case and am stuck with a hole) anyways back to the topic
- Can anyone supply me with the front facing camera so i can install it in my phone?
- Does anyone know if other camera's work with our hermes for ex: http://cgi.ebay.com/Y206-Int-Camera...88055751QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3728QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/Y104-Int-Camera...52266913QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3311QQcmdZViewItem
I asked cnn.cn about the camera and all they said is they'll check but that was the last of that.
any leads would be appreciated. THX

I was wondering the same thing, I cant find the front camera anywhere
Good News and Bad News
Good news
is i found the OLD (Nov 2nd) auction that had the front camera for our 8525s and others that lack front camera
Bad news
The auction has been over for a while
lets hope they have some in stock. If anyone is interested let me know and i'll order as many as i can, surprisingly enough they are very very cheap.
Happy new years.
Maybe a dumb question... How do you know for sure that this is the correct camera and is it a simple plug in? Is the socket already in place in the phone?

not a dumb question at all, the links i posted above are not the correct camera. i am trying to contact the company that sells those to see if they have for our hermes.
on to the 2nd question: the socket is already in place on the phone, all you have to do is plug in the camera to the connector and you are good to go.
Outstanding! Now I just need to get the nerve to open up my new 8525.
I saw this thread and thought this might help a little bit:

Thread on HoFo (actually a tutorial) for changing the housing, but the last few pages focus on the camera. This guy bought a broken TyTn and took the camera out of it, there are also some pictures to give you a better idea of what to look for.
I have one. I took it out cause it was pointless I have tmobile US and they dont support it anyway. So anyone interested can IM me im usually on MSN. My SN is in my profile.

interested in that camera and the location of a plce I can get the housing from too
I just ordered a black HTC branded housing (at least that's what appears in the pictures) from China_Store on Ebay. It's been a few days and I still haven't received any confirmation from them, though.
You can find theirs and a couple other's by searching for "8525 housing" and setting the price range from $25 - 100. Here's a direct link.
Good luck!
Mine has a front cam, but I've never used it... How pointless
I bought the Front Camera for my 8525 and I bought The Case for it as well. Took me 1 2 3 with the Tutuorial From HoFo and a Few other sites. I was disappointed when I found out the China Store Wasn't selling them anymore. I have another 8525 I want the front camera for. It's super Cheap And a good Mod. I use it once in a while for pix and I tested it out for video and it works...But rare....Not totally useless I Live in NYC....
anyone find out where they sell them ... Put me down for 1

It may help to know the following:
The front camera is manufactured by the Liteon Corporation of Taiwan:
http://www.liteon.com/page.aspx?id=4cdd6857-1b68-4eec-82c2-3d612c9b866f
It may be worth checking with them to see if they supply direct through their on-line Service Contact page:
http://www.liteon.com/Services.aspx?id=34a8d337-1424-4c7a-b219-80a96f109207
The Front Camera Module is:
Liteon Part No: 05P019
HTC Part No: 54H00157-00P (HTC list no alternatives for this component)
Mike
I'd definitely like one too.
I've contacted LiteOn Semiconductor...
about the front camera's....if I come up with something, I will post it here.
In the meantime, does anyone know where I can pick up a housing on the cheap ( other than ebay ) ? I'd prefer the HTC one, so I can get the keypad to replace as well ( it's got the video call button ), but it's not a hard requirement.
Anyone with the info can just PM me, and for everyone's POM, I'll update this thread in a few days, regardless of whether I hear from them or not.
How's you account for the hole for the camera ?

Did you BORE out a hole or did you replace the front bezel completely ?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
I'm curious as to what program you can use to access the front camera? Video calling (I'm aware of) or multipurpose? Thanks!
Are these cameras no longer available? I hate to buy a HTC housing and have nothing to put in there... I would have to close the hole up with a plastic piece to make it at least look like there is something there rather than just a hole for dust to get in.

Anyone Interested in a "NIKI100 20Key" or for spare parts or for Developing?
I have a HTC Touch Dual 20 Key (NIKI100) that would be great for a ROM chef or developers to toy with or as spare parts.
I have the original box and accessories as well as a desktop cradle that I will package everything in. It is in working and flashable condition other than the one noted problem below. Bluetooth, camera, audio, buttons all work, just the audio bug which I believe is hardware based.
The device works great other than a call problem that is hardware related.
Detail on Problem: When in a call randomly the listener on the other end will hear a buzzing or humming sound and not the caller, but everything sounds normal on the device. To fix it while in a call you have to open and close the screen a couple of times. I beleive its a loose part in the screen.
Physical Condition: There is some minor wear and tear to the device and a small chip/indentation on the front of the bezel from handling over the last year but the screen is in a near mint condition because it has always had a screen protector. Other than the noted call problem, the device works great and I have flashed many ROMs to this device and it currently has a Lily Rom on it. It is not in a bricked condition and is ready for someone to play around with it or use it for spare parts like a screen or keyboard change.
How Much?
I will let the device go for $75 to the first person to post their interest in the device. This is not a bid, so the first interested person gets it, I just want to get it off my hands. I will include free shipping within the United States with all the accessories, box and liturature. For xda's outside the United States shipping will be additional and I will have to figure that out seperately. I will send a Paypal invoice to the specified email address and payment can be made that way for security reasons.

I have unfortunately moved on from windows mobile until WM7. I am currently on the Android platform for now, but you can find me in the Dream forum on xda if you want to find me.
Feel free to ask any questions if you are unsure.

I think a few of us should club together and buy it for dzo (if he is willing) so we can get a proper linux kernel for nike (like the kaiser forum did).
Whos with me?

Doesn't look like a bad idea to me, though dzo would be the first to ask wether he needs it... (he's gotta have already too many qualcomm based htc phones
Hi everyone.
I searched it as much as I could but had no luck. Is there a battery cover that hides the camera lens? To put simply, I need a back cover with no holes at all. I need to have a phone without a camera lens and just hiding it would really help me out. I searched everywhere but found nothing. Even here in the accessories session nothing is mentioned.
If anyone finds omething please reply here, I am desperate!

I have never seen such a thing! why you wanna hide it?!?!?!?
i really don't think you will find such a thing!!!
that is what I am afraid of... I need to have a phone that has no camera with me, and I do not want to leave the HD at the house and wonder around with a simple nokia without the camera. I can pass it as a no camera phone if I could be able to find something like that.
I believe I am not the only one with this problem. There are places that security does not allow camera phones. I found a forum of iPhone users that have exactly the same problem, and I thought that if nobody here in the xda-developers knows or has seen something like this, then probably I have no choice but to leave the phone back
Sorry I have no answer for you. My hunch is that it cannot exist as the use of such cover in places where cameras are prohibited would presume that the security there are also a bunch of idiots to not to be able to see that Touch HD has also a front camera. So it would be a very narrow use possibility to make sense for large scale manufacturing...

You are absolutely right....in areas where it is prohibited to use a camera phone you shouldn't do that. But I think there's one possible solution for that: right here
Sorry for that little joke , but I have been to places where it's not allowed and you should respect that,too. If people realize that you've hidden the cam...oh oh ooooh
I see your point Maniac
I got the same here at work. We're not allowed to use or even have a camera phone with us in the development department.
But thats easily solved: We just deposit it in a lockbox before entering that area. So isn't there a possibility to do that?
Or do you need the phone at work? Then there should be an possibility to get an permission or something like that (I got that at work).

Furthermore you could easily take off the back cover and take your pictures without it. So that won't work.
Mate, since my first nokia wirh pixels camera I have just forgot about covering the lens...sony ericsson and its "k" series has lens cover...but it isn't necessary at all...
Hi,
It looks like i need to replace my speaker.
Was looking for a speaker on ebay but i have a question:
1. is it the same speaker for cdma and gsm versions? mine is gsm.
2. how hard it is to replace the speaker? some of the sellers provide also tools.
Thanks.
Sadly I can't specifically answer any of your questions, but I will give you some advice.
If you're going to replace any internal pieces of hardware, you better be very very good at it, or you'll very easily end up with a shiny new paperweight on your desk.
If it was my phone, and at all possible, I'd send it in to a professional company. (perhaps under warranty?)

Hello,
I've recently dropped my MIX 4 and glass on the display is cracked. And since this phone is china-only, can someone tell me how can I get the replacement parts? Do you know something? It's a small crack but I want to replace the glass or even the display. Or if anyone here is living in China and can help me with this?
Thank you.
Edit #1:
Found this website, did anyone buy from them? Is it legit? https://www.deviceparts.com/c/xiaomi-mi-mix-4/
i had a google page and they did contact me before... haven't tried out though.
reviews seem fine, and at least they are active.
