I'm replacing the housing on my AT&T Tilt with the OEM HTC from CNN.CN as well as the front/QWERTY keypads,
I was wondering if anybody could verify the screwdriver set I need to replace such items - I've been searching but answers ranged from T4/T5 to T5/T6. I need to order them along with the repair items and wanted to make sure I got the right ones.
Thanks!
From what i got from Mike Channon's Dissasembly guide your going to need a T7, and a T6. Check out that dissasembly guide and see for yourself.
good luck and take pics along the way to share with everyone! Also were you able to locate the front camera?

Thanks, luckily I found a 12-in-1 set on eBay for $7 shipped!!
Cost $100 to replace the full housing and both keyboards I'll update the thread in a week or two after I get the parts to tell you how the install goes.
please show us pics. I wanna see a hybrid kaiser/tilt
what's the differences in the keyboards from the OEM HTC and the Tilt?
i thought the only difference was in the front camera and what not

Non-US qwerty keypads seem a bit bigger - I got one from Canada (had some "asian" characters on it) and it seemed a few milimeters too big for the fitment
Hi all,
Please excuse my ignorance, I have searched this site for this question, but not found it... Sorry if it has been posted previously.
I am looking to buy a HTC Touch Diamond, but am I worth getting the Orange version (original?) or the O2 version (XDA Ignito)? The only difference I can see is the back cover and some additional software which the great people on here have far superior anyway ... Am I missing something?
Also, are the older versions (see site at bottom) still available? - the ones that have 128MB RAM instead of the advertised 192MB?
I'm looking to get this handset from a cash-back site so expect that they may be using old stocks... Is there any way to tell without opening the box (so it can be returned without question under the distance selling regulations)?
Thanks for any help.

I work for O2 and i've used our demo version of the diamond quite a lot and I also own the Orange one.
I bought the Orange one off ebay instead of waiting for the O2 branded one and I have to say the build quality on the O2 seems far more solid. The buttons feel sort of.. firmer.. and the back is much nicer than the faceted one.
I wish i'd waited for the XDA version to be honest =']
Hi Sherby,
Thanks for your comment I can't see how there could be a difference with the buttons or build quality, I thought that would have been something HTC created not modified by O2... I appreciate the back cover as it just slides off... Will have to pay Orange and O2 another visit Thanks!

Also.. the O2 version is slightly more glossy around the edges than the Orange one which is just matte.

Ahh ok. Don't think I'm that bothered about the glossy or matte though, could put up with either
Any idea about finding the hardware version?
Thanks again

I have the o2 version, simply because I didn't favour the original diamond shaped back. Device information page attached...
Thanks for that GanjaBlood - I was considering the same, but if you can just remove and replace the back facia then it isn't really an issue... They'll be on fleebay soon!
The Ignito battery cover won't fit the Diamond. The corners are different for starters.

That is something I didn't know... Thanks Ruffage.
[EDIT] Sorry, just seen the 'accessories' forum... Please ignore the question below, hopefully it's answered there [/EDIT]
Does anyone know if the replacement batteries that O2 are apparently selling will fit into the Orange TD?
Thanks for everyone's responses.

Ok i know how to add a front camera to a tilt, if you take it apart and open the front cover you will see the connector for the camera just like the 8525 has, you need only the fcc camera to put in there (it isn't the same of the hermes 'cuz it has a vga cam, the tytnII has a 0.3mpx one). The worst thing is that i can't find that cam nowhere on the whole internet and i dont need to buy a tytnII with damage that surely will cost much more that the fcc only. There is a seller on Ebay that sells tytn cams, i asked if he can provide me a tytnII cam and he answered me that if i can find a cam he will buy it from me (LOL). now i am asking anyone here that has a front cam from the kaiser/tytnII or mda varioIII if want to sell it to me or if can point me to someone that can sell it. i also searched on cnn and other parts shop on the net and noone can provide it to me. i went to a device repairer and he told me that the cam will take 2/3 months to be shipped from htc and that i have to leave him my device...I know that them have no care of the item left in their deposit so i said no and took my tilt back home... please if someone know something just tell it to me...i will give a bounty...

maybe if anyone can try if the front cam of the tytn will fit on the tilt and wanted to do it i will be grateful!

He already tried cnn.
What ive always done in the past was search for nearly destroyed ( case/screen/ect ) for cheap misc parts for my devices. I havent looked around for the kaiser yet ( as i have no need of a cam on front ) but im sure someone has tried or s trying to sell one their dog bit into/ran over / ect.
Keep looking as one will surely turn up on fleabay eventually
ok i have to say you all that i SOLD my tilt for 300€uros, in Europe this are the prices for it. now i will buy a TytnII with a front cam or a Raphael. i will keep you informed. but in meantime i have to switch back to my prophet tank you all again!!!
Congratulationz!!!
has anyone any ideas where to get a digitizer for the Topaz? Found one on ebay but it doesnt look like it would fit Diamond II...
any help appreciated
You've broken yours already?
Doubt you will have parts available anytime soon!
no i'm not that bad with phones
my touch hd is safe and sound, just bought a broken diamond 2 as a diy project but i guess will have to leave it on the shelf for a good while..
Found this for you:

For me this two digitizer have the same size, so how can this fit on diamond2?
So awkward!
Good point! Maybe it should be described as Diamond 1 digitizer styled like Diamond 2
actually just bought that one
was in talks with the seller because he had another one listed as diamond II but now he assures me this is the right one...will wait and see I suppose..
Just got my broken D2 in the post, looks great, nice design, decent size but would never trade my HD for it
if you could post pictures etc on how you get the housing off id appreciate it as id probably want to do this down the line.
will do once I do that myself will have to google it first I suppose...
Waiting for my digitizer to come in the post, will start my DIY project then
got the digitizer, turns out to be the wrong one, they still dont have any in stock for Diamond II
but managed to hook up the DII using Pocket Controller, works a treat
bluetooth mouse and keyboard can be connected to it no problem using Blueinput, all I have to do now is figure out how to control the DII from my HD
I search one too... I mailed tens of sellers on ebay and they can't provide me this...
I eventually gave up and sold it on
got an omnia hd now, will see whats that like
I puts back him on sale because I have to repair my Touch Pro :

you've seen the date?
Hi All
I'm about to sell my kaiser but my daughter dropped it outside recently and it damaged the casing, so does anyone know where to get a replacement outer case (& buttons) from?
I've seen kits on ebay for around £35 and although they have everything I need they include a keyboard which I don't!
Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance
Have a look at this link:
http://cnn.cn/shop/p4550-tytn-kaiser-c-277_447.html
I see the whole assembly on eBay for £35 including buttons & keyboard. if it has more parts than you need simply resell them on xda or feeBay & you'll recoup some of the initial costs too.
Thanks mister b but unfortunately only the keypad appears to be in stock so maybe I am looking at £35 on feebay!
Unless I can sell it as it is of course
I have a friend looking for a Kaiser.
Post or PM me photos showing current condition network lock status, price ect & I will pass it on to him.
yep ok will do, just so you know it is fully boxed with unused accessories that came in the box and is unlocked completely so it can be loaded with whatever rom you choose from here. At the moment it has a DUTTY rom on it, win 6.1 I think.
I'll take some photos as soon as I can!
Hi
Just sent you an email with piccys
I've just checked and the rom is exactly what it says on my sig. I thought I might have changed it since I put my sig up but I haven't!!
