Getting an TyTN II part for a Tilt to get the front camera?

I really wanted the front camera, but wasn't willing to spend upwards of $400 for it, comparing a non-contracted TyTN II and a contracted Tilt, or even a$200 difference for a non-contracted Tilt.
So, I'm thinking... Is there any way to get the front half of the unit with the screen and the front camera, just so I can get the full TyTN II?
I'm already CID unlocked and SIM unlocked, just thought I'd try to see if I can take it to the next level...

Yes it can be done, I believe. I did this very same thing with my 8525 after getting my hands on a broken JasJam from someone I know and then performing the necessary surgery (funny, because I really am a surgeon!). Now, there ARE a few caveats here: one, I knew for a fact that the AT&T 8525 and the i-mate JasJam were fundamentally the same hardware, and that the 8525 actually had the socket for the camera, so I just took the JasJam's camera, plugged it in, and replaced my 8525's faceplate with the JasJam's.
Because this device is new, however, you're going to have to wait for some time before spare parts become available. And because most mobile device people are highly neurotic, I don't expect that they're going to part with even a broken device, but you never know.

PDADoc, that's a cool story about the camera surgery. I love it!

Glad you enjoyed it, lol! I just got bored and since I already had my Kaiser device I figured why not? It worked out well enough, so it's in the desk drawer for use as a backup device. I'm vascillating on whether to sell it or not in the meantime.

love the surgery story too..wish you filmed it. "Vascillating"? LOL Yeah you're definitely a Doctor!

interesting. I'd personally much rather transplant a speaker there though. It'd be especially useful for playing videos. Having the speaker on the back for that job is just silly.

does anyone knows if a hermes cam is the same of a tilt cam? i wanna do same as the "surgeon" but on ebay i can only find hermes cams... thank you

I think a couple guys over at hofo have done this with the Kaiser.. Ofcourse the hard part is finding the camera.
Once you do find the camera, cnn.cn has the front faceplate with the camera hole so if you do get a damaged kaiser with a marked up front cover, you can pick that one up for 12.99 plus shipping.

The best way would be to buy it and find out if it works?
I don't know if anyone could give you the answer 100% as most people who have Kaisers with cameras own HTC TyTN IIs and not Tilts. Unless if someone has access to the part numbers for both the Hermies and the Kaiser I don't know if you'd get the information you are looking for.

TP Screen

Hi all,
I just broke my screen the question I have is this, I have an att fuze branded Raph, and since the screen is broken and I am going to replace it I was wondering if anyone knows weather or not I could put a Touch Pro screen on with the front facing cam and the hardware would work. I don't know if there is a missing socket or missing support for the cam in the roms but I thought it might simply be an issue like the radio player was at release where a simple cab would fix. My phone is still usable for now but I plan to fix within a couple days so any knowledge would help me make the decision on which screen to buy.
Thanks for any help

International digitizer on AT&T model fitment...?

Hey all,
Quick question here... Firstly, yes, I am a noob. I have an HTC One X on AT&T. My brother actually helped me root it and I'm running the Xi40 ROM I found in these developer forums.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, I dropped my precious One X, and cracked the screen. The LCD underneath was fine. I was considering replacing the screen/ digitizer myself, but after plenty of reading, it was just too much for me. So I had a local repair shop replace it. When they replaced the screen/ digitizer, they broke my original LCD, so they replaced the the whole combo (being screen/ digitizer/ and LCD). Well they actually put a international version of the digitizer in my device, and I know, because instead of saying "AT&T" at the top, it says "HTC"...
The replacement doesn't sit totally flush to the device, but I can push it in and it seems like there's space for the screen to fit it. Basically was the repair done wrong, or is the international screen actually different from the US version that's disallowing it to fit flush to the device?
I'll try and get pictures up later if anyone is interested.
Cheers.

I dont think the screens have any differences between the international version and the ATT version so maybe they just did the procedure wrong

Thanks for the insight. Currently I'm just trying to push it into place or something, hoping it will snap in. Any cases you guys would recommended that wraps over the sides to maybe help the screen stay flush?

He didn't do the best job putting it in, then again a lot of us got our phones with the screen not sitting flush as well.
and it isn't necessarily the T3 international version, the Rogers version (which is the same S4 variant) also says Htc on top. Either way though, you're fine.

That may not be true. The Teg3 One X uses panels from Acer and Sharp whereas the XL uses Sony panels exclusively. It seemed kind of odd but if they are actually sized differently it makes sense.

Ohhh, well in that case maybe that actually is whats causing OP's problem

Anyone replaced a screen on one of these?

Sorry, I know this is a developer site, but I'm at a loss here.
I have a Verizon M8 for Windows that had a dodgy touch screen. Everything else worked fine. I purchased an LCD/digitizer and installed it. LCD wont come on. Phone powers on, syncs to PC, I can navigate around by taking screen shots and viewing on the PC, so I know the phone is working ok.
So, I purchased a 2nd screen, thinking the 1st one might be faulty. Same thing. No LCD. If I plug the original LCD in, it lights up fine (I cracked it removing the digitizer, so can't re-use it).
Next, I purchased a good, tested 2nd hand motherboard (Verizon, For windows) thinking I may have damaged the LCD connector. Still no LCD display.
Does anyone know if the screens are specific to either the Verizon or Windows Phone versions? Or anything else I might be missing? I've been repairing phones for years (mostly iPhone, Samsung, Lumia) so I'm not new at this.
Regards.

I think you might have bought bad quality screens. Have you bought them off the same seller? you might want to return them.From my experience,the M8 lcd digitizers are interchangeable across carriers and OS versions(win/Andro).
I have not had any experience with other variants like M8s etc but screen from verizon sprint att fido chatr windows android are interchangeable

Thanks for your reply.
I purchased the screens new from two different suppliers. One was a chinese knock off, the other was a high quality OEM screen. Both were full LCD/touchscreen and front frame assemblies.
I can't believe that both are faulty. As an update, I bought a second hand screen from another Verizon WP M8, and it works perfectly. I'm going to purchase an android version M8 with damaged screen and see if either/both of the new ones work on that.

I replaced my M8's display twice. Bought them from Etradesupply.com. The parts that are rated S+ are original OEM parts direct from them. No third partyish crap going on.

Thanks. I'll give them a try.

I have tried to install even original (stock) LCD from ANDROID phone to WINDOWS phone - it does not work.
But screen from WINDOWS phones works perfectly on any ANDROID phone.
I have an idea that maybe hard reset or flashing RUU will make it work, and I tried: after hard reset even native LCD stopped to work.
Friend, did you tried to flash phone with new screen installed?
