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...

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!!!

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.
i will give my tilt, (it's in mint condition) and a black crystal cover (even some bucks) for an htc tytnII even with scratches or little dents (not on the screen).
thank you
ken
......error:553177900......cannot compute.....process invalid.......SCREEN
...Are you serious?
i am completely serious... i know that noone want to do this but i'll ask...
are you selling your tilt at all?..if so how much?
i want to swap my tilt with a kaiser but if noone comes out i'll sell it an buy a kaiser. i'll sell it for 420USD + shipping (420USD is likely 320Euros).
It has a black crystal cover, 3.5" headphone adapter with mic., it's in MINT condition and always had a screen protector on it.
errrr .... no
sorry!
edit: nm - I miss-read your post
Why sell it ?
if you need the second camera, there is a mod here on the forums will show you how to add it , and software wise there are so many roms here , that i am sure one of them will fit your needs,
BTW not to rain on your parade, the going price here in the states is about $300 more or less
i know what you ar sayin but i can't find a front camera nowhere in the forum nor in fleabay, i searched everywhere and offered a bounty if someone find it but noone answered, maybe u can tell me more, i'm very addicted to my kaiser i dont want to sell mine but i have to if i dont find a solution.
You must be proud of your tilt.
Here are some good links to read, but i have not found the thread that has step by step instructions for adding the camera....give me a bit to find it...

Lets us know if you find it.....
FYI I know there was a thread for doing this, but search is not bring it up
I will sell you my TYTN II for 200 euros. Ita in mint condition with a lot of added applications (tom tom 7 with maps, skyfire, memmaid etc. Also I have the desktop charger and case.
@ F2504x4: the thread on howardforums is what i saw for making an idea on what i have to do. if you take apart your tilt you will find a chip where the front cam have to go inserted, and then you have to buy a new front face cover with the cam cover. the mobo already has the connector for the front cam it's a plug'n'play thing. but i cant find the cam nowhere in the wole internet!!!
@leon sprouse: i know you want to sell me your tytnII the price is so good but i have to sell my tilt first because i have no money to afford yours
anyways thank you for the advice and for the time giving to me

@chumley EX: i am very proud and satysfied of my tilt but i live in Italy and my girlfriend whant to videocall me because i work far away from home
Does it transform or something different than the other Tilts or is the proudness you have for the phone the reasoning behind the jacked up price?

are you A Professional thread crapper?
I don't think he is, but $450 for a Tilt... I bought my Tytn 2 with 2 extra batteries and an additional pouch for $430 6 months ago. Tilts were already going for $350 at that time
@chumley EX: why don't you chill out boy? i'm just tryin to sell my tilt!
Maybe the price is too high, maybe i can sell it for lower but if i sell my tilt for lower i can't buy a tytnII because it is more expensive
i can sell it for no less than 250€
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 all,
My girlfriend has a MDA Vario III with a broken screen. The touchscreen is in tact but the screen itself is broken. Does anyone in Holland knows someone or a (online) shop who can fix this? Or if anyone has a service manual please let me know so i can order a screen and try to fix it myself.
TIA!!!
www.mikechannon.net
It's really easy to open and replace the screen in these. I've opened mine a few times, no problems.
Thanks so much for the manual. It really helps. I think i can do it myself. I have opend and fixed many Nokia phones but never a HTC. With the manual it should work. TNX again !
Search on ebay and other online places like cnn.cn for the screen and use that manual to replace it. Should be easy if you have experience opening devices.
Good luck and enjoy!
oh also while your at it, you might want to do the "screen hack" which allows you to tilt the screen to a greater angle than normal. I think a guide for it is found in the wiki, if not i remember it being on mike channon's site.

Thanks. I was looking for a screen at the www. This one is cheap also.
Can you tell me if this site is safe?
I ordered rom them before and sometimes the shipping is average speed and sometimes its insanely fast (considering its coming from hong kong).
The only issue i had with them is once i ordered a screen for an N82, the package arrived but you can tell it was opened by customs and taped back together. Well they didnt do a good tape job and there was no lcd in it. I emailed cnn.cn several times with no reply, so i just called my bank and reversed my payment. So i guess just buy insurance when you ship it and you'll be fine.
