I own and unlocked quad band touch diamond GSM version. The LCD Lens on the front seems to be quite hard to come by and I have only found one international seller on ebay that has them.
My lens is scratched so I plan to use one of these lenses (ordered 2) and buy a second LCD screen so I can preassamble the two before opening up my phone, as I don't like the idea of tearing the digitizer from the LCD screen!
Does anyone know why these lenses without the front camera hole for the GSM unlocked version, are so hard to come by? And if you know of a US seller that has them, I would greatly appreciate that info, thanks.
Am I the only person with an unlocked diamond quad-band phone with one camera lense?

Thanks

I have replaced several screens on Touch Diamonds, however the LCD matrix appears to actually be stuck onto the digitiser and the LCD itself is very very fragile. I usually replace the whole unit (LCD screen and digitiser) because it is much easier. You can purchase these from various sellers in Hong Kong on Ebay.
I have allready bought a touch screen but not the lcd screen!!! Do u have a guide or something that shows how to change it???

My recommendation would be to re-sell the touch screen and buy yourself a complete LCD & digitiser module. It is much much easier to do. In terms of taking the phone apart, it is fairly straight forward. Be careful with the small co-axial cables inside though, because they are easily damaged and difficult to obtain without replacing the antenna board. Re-connecting the ribbon cables can also be a bit fiddly.
The LCD and digitiser are glued into the front of the phone. You will need to disassemble the phone and then very carefully using a plastic flat blade, ease the LCD out of the front of the phone housing. It will come out with a little bit of care. There should be enough glue remaining in the housing to re-seat the replacement unit and hold it in place.
If you google you should be able to find the HTC Diamond service manual which tells you how to take the phone apart and re-assemble it. I have a copy, so if you can't track it down, PM and I will e-mail it to you.

Hi,
To barncourt, how is the build quality of those honk kong made screens?
also a lot of the screen+digitizer that i have seen on ebay all have the front facing camera. would it be possible to use that screen even though my diamond is the one that has no front facing camera?
Of course, it is just a hole

Okay, but I tend to buy from the same seller. Not had any particular problems.

Hi I wanna know can you share your supplier adress with us ?
I'm looking for a LCD+digitizer and what I see is not something giving confidence...
So if you can give us some real-tested place to start...
Also I've dismantle the phone but it's quite hard to take the screen+digitizer away...
it's seems completely fixed with the housing does some one got s pics or guide on how to dismantle and replace the screen
(The HTC service guide you can see here and there just don't deal with the screen.)
and when I started just broke my screen (which was already broken anyway so...)
http://www.fuelip.com/howto/diamondlcd/diamondlcd.htm
I followed that guide and replaced my screen. I have one last problem though - I can't fit back my power button. It's made of two parts the black plastic cover and the transparent rubber. How do you stick them together? I'ts funny that I took my whole diamond apart with all the cables and boards and now I can not figure out how to fix a silly button
i recently dropped the phone and am thinking whether it is worth it or not to buy new housing. i have a touch diamond nam 3g with rubber back and no front facing camera. can anyone give me links to where i can find housing for my model. i saw a lot on ebay but those look like housings for the euro and asian model with glossy back and front facing camera. also if i want to switch off the front screen because of scratches, should i buy a whole new lcd or should i just buy a digitizer cuz i heard that it is hard to change just the digitizer.
anybody know anything about this?
If you need original housing it will cost you.
I bought from this company recently (EU)
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-touch-pro-13838p.html - £15.75
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-touch-diamond-11870p.html - £35.29
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-touch-diamond-13679p.html - £19.41
Total £70.45 + shipping
Note: The shipping is low from this company.
But your Diamond will be like brand new.
do they ship to the US though? also i don't see the actual front housing in there. i see that you bought a digitizer too. how hard is it to replace the digitizer?
From what I have seen, the phone has to be completely disassembled to change the digitizer, doesn't look like an easy task.
yeah but what i mean is, is it easy to detach the digitizer from the lcd screen?

i have asian non 3g htc touch diamond white without front facing camera. i just bought it two days back and from what i have seen nd heard, it's very difficult to replace digitizer or screen alone, if u cud get 'em get a screen wid a digitizer nd if u wanna save some money purrchase the housing with digitizer alone. but be very careful while removing the digitizr from lcd. they are sort of glued together but when u remove it, u shud have enough gule left to paste it into new digitizer.
nd sellers from hong kong are quite friendly. just ask a question to them on ebay about ur requirement and m quite sure they can make available to you whateva u want.
PS: i got it about two weeks back nd not two days.
where did you find a digitizer that doesn't have the front camera hole though
I have US 3G version of HTC touch diamond without front camera. My OEM screen protector wears out. I need to buy a crystal clear screen protector WITHOUT the camear hole. But it seems all of them have a camera hole. Does wanyone know where to buy one without the camera hole? Thanks.
the original diamond screen protector doesnt have any hole, so go to an official htc service in your country and there you will be able to buy one without hole

The problem is that it is hard to tell which one is the OEM one. I have the unlocked version (without the front camera). HTC does not even list it in their web site.

I went with the Zagg Skins for my HTC Pure. It does not have the front camera and the Skins are first-rate. I've used them for the past few years and put them on most everything now

This is for Verizon Touch diamond. I compared the specification with the GSM version of diamond. They are not the same.
Hi.
My Dealer offers me nearly everything I want.
I use screen protector from Exim. I'm from Germany, so I buy it at nexave.
You may write them an eMail and ask if they could send you a Diamond screen protector without the hole.

Hi, i know a place where you can buy a screen protector without front camera, it called uxsight.com, you can search 2.8" screen protector at uxsight. Hope this helps!
Hello all I hope someone here can guide me because I am at a loss.
A couple weeks ago I cracked my screen and have been searching for a replacement
Digitizer since then but everywhere I look is either out of stock or comes with the
LCD (which I don't need ).
I know this is a bit forward for my first post here but I am hoping someone
may have a suggestion as to where I might be able to pick one up so I can finally get my phone back to it's
original glory.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions on this matter.
In htc digitzer and screen are unity, so if you have problem with touch, you have to change all screen.

From what I have read the glass and the digitizer are one piece but it is possible to separate the LCD in this guide :
androidforums. com/htc-one-s/609247-how-fix-htc-one-s-screen.html
Problem is every website I have looked at the glass/digitizer is out of stock and it's triple the price to get it with the LCD.
you can't separate, because in amoled all layer are connected in fabric.
http://www.oled-display.net/wp-content/uploads/u2/super-amoled-technical-details.jpg See this pictrue the touch sensor is under glasses.
i repair phones for a living. and i'm telling you, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE APART THE DIGITIZER AND LED!!! most new htc phones, like the iphone 4/4s and newer samsung phones the glass and display come together. yes, it is possible to take them apart, it's more hassle then it's worth, you are almost guaranteed to break your display (unless you've done it a few dozen times) and then when you try to put everything back together, it will not fit together right because the LED will be warped by your pulling and bending it out of the frame. also, any part you see sold as just the digitizer is either not the correct part and even if it fits and works it is not OEM

I appreciate you taking the time to clarify that for me, I had hoped it would have been easier than that. I can start looking for the correct part now and finally get my phone sorted out.
Again thanks for your help.
Question:
My sweet little girl scratch "gorila" glass on my one s.
Is it possible change only glass, i plan to buy spare part from this link:
etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-s-glass-lens.htm
Ok so when I dropped my phone the camera lens fell off I dont think theyre put on that well. Anyways I bought an 8 dollar camera housing and heads up it doesn't include the lens cover. I found an Xperia Z1 lens cover listed on Ebay anyone know if this works. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=361130990341&alt=web . Im guessing the camera covers for 35 on Ebay might have the lenses attached but contact the seller before buying and ask.
I tried to get OnePlus to fix they wanted 177 for the tiny lens part. In case anyone wanted to know.
vifocal.com/camera-frame-back-board-replacement-for-oneplus-one-16gb-64gb.html
Thats the same part I bought before but I paid 8 bucks I don't think it includes the rear lens
It says on the bottom of that listing
"1 x Camera Frame for Oneplus one won't include lense."
