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
Hello guys, I have a AT&T tilt (8925) frim U.S.A and I'm a cellphone technician and I just fixed one of this cellphone yesterday and found out that it has a connector for a front camera even a hole & place where to put it on. I want to modify it and see if it will work with a front camera ( if I put one on it) but don't know where to buy one, and one more problem is there anyway I can add this features on a flashing it from an original HTC TyTN II instead? because I know that the AT&T tilt(8925) doesn't have that on their software if I just put the camera(hardware) I know that it won't work at all because it doesn't have that features on the original SW of AT&T Tilt(8925)
1) I just want to know if someone can tell me where to buy the original front camera for HTC TyTN II(kaiser) for me to start
2) if it is possible to have this AT&T tilt(8925) flash to it's original HTC TyTN II(kaiser) version that has a features that you can choose if you want to use front camera or the back camera.
Please let me know and I will do this project and post my procedure and the outcome for all to see. If they want their AT&T Tilt(8925) to have a additional front camera. Thank you
if there is a place to buy the part it would be the cnn.cn site. Just search for replacement parts.
Yes there should be several roms that offer the video confrenceing. If you have spent any time researching this you would know this.
They don't carry it (at cnn.cn)

You an always try eBay for this
http://cgi.ebay.com/FRONT-CAMERA-CA...hash=item260368952540&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
is one of it.
I think i'm going to do the camera mod, then in the process replace the housing with the HTC OEM Orange UK one. It's a really nice color.

So, has anyone done this yet? I've got the front camera part in a bag in front of me, but haven't found a way to just remove the front housing. Every guide I've been able to find is for the full-on strip down, and I was hoping to avoid that.
Any info? If no one's done it yet, I'll try to get my act together enough to document the inevitable destruction of my phone, but forewarned is forearmed, as they say.
remove the front cover

I would slide the phone out and flip it over. in the back of the screen part of the phone, remove four outer most screw( 2 toward the top and two toward the bottom of the phone) with the #5 torx driver. After that the shiny front should pop out easily with a little prying. that how i would do it.. good luck
Anybody knows if the 8525 front camera fits the 8925? Thanks.
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...
Ken
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!!!
USA and UK versions
im in the process of Modding my tilt and even buying parts im looking for some manuals or websites that can give me a guide on replacing the keyboard, screen, sim card holder and so forth step by step of the way, so i dont have to break anything to learn from it. I dont know if its possible but I want to even be able to change my tilt into adding the front video camera like the orignal HTC comes with, i know the keyboard is possible but to add the front vga video cam i dont know. The American version does not have this so adding it is very important to me. If anyone knows anything where i can find some directions on this please help. Do any of you know if its built into the outer body with a snap clip on the inside of the replacement part or not any insite of this is very much appreciated.
Even if anyone have any broken HTC Kaiser TyTn II laying around collecting dust
im interested in these as well if i cant find the manuals ill buy the broken units for parts etc. thanks in advance.

hi guys
i hope i can explain what's happening in correct english, if i make some mistakes please forgive me
i've got a big problem with my one
when i start the camera app, and it happens EVERY TIME, the camera takes a long time to begin "responding" to my commands
i'll try to explain
i start the camera
the camera begins to focus all the way out, then come back all the way in, and THEN if i tap it will correctly focus on the object i tapped on
if i tap before all this, it just doesn't focus
so i have to wait several seconds to begin "shooting" photos, and this happens anytime i will start the camera app
with the night or in low light, the problem is even bigger taking betweet 5 to 10 second to be "operative"
i've made a video on this problem but please be advised i've used an iphone in one hand while having the htc in the other, so i don't know if you can see exactly what happens
it's normal or it's my one that is faulty?
PS: i had this problem with stock 1.28 and now i have the trickrom 3.5 ( based on 1.29 ) and the issue is still here
in the video you can see that i try to focus on the electronic cigs without success... i will reach to focus around 0:24
looks like your lens isnt moving to focus.. have u tried sending it in?

yes it works but after 5-10 seconds... then it focus correctly on anything i tap on
sending it in you mean in warranty? i imported the phone.... would be really a mess to send it
HTC doesn't care. You can send it in teo HTC USA and they will take care of it. I had a international ONE X that had different processor housing etc... and they took care of it no problem.

this is interesting
i'm in italy but i don't want to be without the phone right now so i think i'll wait
in the meantime let's see if someone other has got the same problem :-/
sorry for the up but... i'm the only one with this problem? :-/
Could be a hardware issue. Some early devices has a focusing problem.
same here mine doesn't focus good, i might bring it back to the t-mobile store where i bought it
I'm having the same problem on the canadian version of the HTC One. Did you guys found a fix?
