I took a HD7 apart and lost the small rubber part with the camera cover bit. If you look on the back of a HD7 at the camera you will see the writing "5.0 mega pixel" or osmething on a plastic piece. That's the part i've lost.
Anyone know where i can get a replacement?

I have a HTC Touch Diamond and have been using it for 4 months now, I have always keep it in the included case in my pocket. Recently, I noticed that dust is starting to accumulate over the front facing camera!
I don't know how it got there but I have a hunch that it's going in through the speaker hole. Also, I don't know if it's just my phone but there is a gap between the screen part and the bezel of the phone. Dust is starting to fill the gap.
To clean out the dust from the gap, I take a small moist cloth and run it through the gap. I'm pretty sure that it's just my Diamond.
In case your wondering, it was a BNIB Rogers HTC Diamond, not a used or refurb phone.

the same, with my diamond.
some dust in front of the front(VGA) camera
i have the exact sam problem... also the back under the cover is covered in dust. but especially the vga cam and the speaker is quite dirty
I wasn't sure whether it was just my Diamond, but I also have dust on the back of the front facing camera. Given I don't want to use (or pay for!) video calls, I'm not yet that fussed about it, so long as it doesn't get anywhere more important!
I remove dust from the speaker with a small folded piece of sellotape (sticky side out, obviously!), but there's nothing I can do for the front camera. I also noticed that inside the back cover can get quite dusty.
Oh well...
I've had the same problem with the edges around the front of my Sprint HTC Touch Diamond. Also, in the front speaker hole with the light sensor.
My solution? The straight edge of a piece of paper. Works great for pulling the dust out and so far has been the only thing small enough to fit in the cracks

the dust over the front facing camera doesn't bother me as much as the gap between the bezel and the screen portion because the gap is kinda slanted so it makes me believe that the screen is tilted
I had the same problem: dust made the front camera unusable. So I sent it for repair. Came back, fixed.
Hello fellow Diamond 2 lovers!
Just after assembling the new toy (T-Mobile MDA Compact V) I realized that there is a nice square hole in the back cover, approx. 6 mm wide. The opening for the 5MP camera lens. Funny thing is, behind the square hole there is.... nothing! I can touch the camera lens directly through the opening of the back cover. Between the lens and the cover remains a gap of approx 3 mm, where the air and loads of dust bunnies can travel in and out at will. Is that intended to be like that?? In contrast to that my Diamond 1 has a nice transparent lens protection inside the back cover to "seal" the opening for the camera. I am a bit puzzled.... is it the same way with your HTC Diamond 2?
Greetings, Studebaker
Ahh, so the MDA Compact V is on sale now too ;-)
On the unbranded Diamond 2 there is also no protection for the Camera lens, although the hole in the cover is smaller and circular rather than the square one on the T-Mobile device, so I guess everything's fine with your device.
The older HTC phones, like the Diamond1, had the lens cover that caused low quality pictures, probably HTC removed the cover to make the camera photoes better. eventhough, the lens still has its own cover. So fdpn't worry.
The lens is just problem #1, problem #2 is the open housing and the dirt that will undoubtly find it's way into the case and accumulate consequently....

It's funny that you have a totally Different back cover from me....
My HTC Touch Diamond2 is extrally the one shown on every web-sites, the back cover is a triangle not square box, but also no protection.... just a round hole. HTC must be sleeping! A plastic cover the hole is a must to prevent dust...
Umm..... I not sure about the camera len cover....
My D2 seem the have len cover attached in front of camera under the back cover (as you can see the len's cover shape from the dust ). for the back cover, it just only hole no cover same as everyone said. but I don't see it will need it on my D2
I also attach the photo of my D2. so you can see it.... maybe D2 have many version?
I actually think the circular hole without a cover and the 3mm or so gap to the lens is very sensible, I'm really pleased with it. You can always take the back off and clean the actual lens cover every week or so.
It's better than a flush cover which a) gets fingerprints all over it and you don't realise till after you've taken a picture and b) gets scratched when you put the phone down on its back.
I think HTC got it right on the D2.
i have been using my galaxy note n7000 for 2 yrs now, the camera quality is very bad now. earlier it was amazing. now its bad. My 5 yr old Nokia x6 takes better pictures than my note. whats going on here? should i change the housing ? or try CM11?
pls help me guys..
Thanks )
I changed the Back Cover Mid Frame - this holds the plastic cover over the lens which was scratched resulting in "foggy" pictures. After this I had the old quality again.
Sadly you have to replace the complete frame.

You don't need to change the entire back housing, I bought just the camera lens cover (available on ebay for 2 or 3 pounds) and replaced just that.
You need to remove the back/middle housing and then you can fairly easily remove and replace the lens cover by bending three little pins and pushing out the old one. The replacement just pushes in and you bend the pins again to hold it in - just primitive bits of thick wire like you get on picture frames to hold the back of the frame on.
A very useful youtube video on dismantling the Note shows how to do the dissassembly, (the lens cover bit you need to work out yourself). Search for "Galaxy Note 1 Disassemble Repair & Assemble - Screen & Case Replacement"
Worth doing, now I don't have to worry too much about the lens cover getting scratched as I can replace it for a few pounds.
Hello
So, I have a the HTC One M7 and its front cam is damaged... I don't mean like shattered, but it takes horrible photos, all grainy and white... I figured out, that there is alot of dust inside of the camera, so I need to replace it. But here I place this question: How do I glue back the back side of the housing, when I take it down. Do I have to buy new housing, some adhesive or it glues back on with no problem? I would really appriciate any kind of response. Thank you!

The phone is snapped in the housing, no need to glue it. Would strongly recommend to buy a new housing, you'll probably damage it when opening the phone. Make sure you have the right tools before proceeding ( opening tool, screwdrivers, tweezers etc).
Hi, I have this really disturbing dust inside my p9 rear camera glass. Do I need to remove the whole back cover or is it possible to just take the top cover off? The dust is really annoying since it shows in all of the pics I take. Have no idea how it got there in the first place.
