so i traded my LG xenon for a HTC fuze...but to my amazement it had no freakin' camera...i thought it wasnt a big deal, but i really want a camera for my fuze..the back battery part is covered, and there is a rubber covering where the camera would be...i took that off and it was nothing...is there a way to add a camera on the fuze?
Are you sure it is a Fuze? Fuzes come with a 3.2mp digital camera built in.... Does the battery cover just cover up the camera? I am jsut trying to figure out if you actually have a fuze, and not something else...
att has always had a non camera version for their ppc's for gov use. go back and ask for the right one

Umm, seeing as he "traded" some guy his old phone for this one, I don't think that is a viable option....
whoops my bad i thought he meant traded in at the store like a return
Yeah as a matter of fact I traded it with some guy on craigslist.
I guess the features, wifi..gps-a...the community and "hacking" the
phones ROM is awesome, but I want a camera. Unless someone wants to buy
it off me for 160 shipped, in the USA only though haha.
But is there a way I could add a camera? any Opinions or thoughts would be helpful.

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.

I just went to a local AT&T store to look at the newly released Fuze. I am not sure why AT&T has to ruin things every time a new HTC phone is released. The manager handed over his FUZE and it was covered with fingerprints and finger oil. I was so thrilled to see HTC change the design of the chassis to matte finish from the glossy cover of Diamond. Then, AT&T commits this hideous crime. I had a full intention of purchasing one, but walked out of the store empty handed.
My question, now, is this.
Can a 900/2100Mhz version of Touch Pro be converted to work with US 3G network (850Mhz) by flashing it with a AT&T radio? Or is this a hardware issue?
Anyone shares the same feeling?

the back makes that much a difference? thats just kinda ridiculous
and no the only way to get 3g is to use the att one or wait for the na unlocked which will probly be 800
Yup!
From the pictures, I didn't think it would be so such a big deal, but when I saw it, I just lost all desire to upgrade.

Too lazy to read the threads about trying to add the US 3G bands to the touch pro, but not too busy to waste space complaining about a device you're not gonna buy because it shows fingerprints. Checkout the Raphael elite team thread about that topic.

ha! i had that. Gone to a doctor in houston, tx
I wonder if the euro back cover will fit the fuze..? Hmmmmmmm, solution..?
the piano black finish is actually really nice. Just gota get some clear coat/invisible shield on it to keep it clean.
as for the 3g...hasnt it already been established that it's a hardware issue and that the only way to use it on AT&T network is to buy fuze!? this must be the 5th or 6th thread asking the same thing...well..half of this thread asks the same thing
covers....?
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=166210&partner=wmusfroogle
I know the pic looks NOTHING like the euro touch pro but I don't think they put up the correct pic yet as it states in the listing.
ok ok peep this, would this work...
grab a spray can of laquer and lightly mist the back cover
it would give it some texture and it would give it a duller, matted look.
but really, it's the back of the phone so whats the big deal? and you can always nonchalantly (yeah i cant spell) wipe it on your buttcheek

Did that earlier, it works!
Be smart use your brain, first off it's only a back piece. Second of all simply buy the phone and buy a replacement back piece for an unlocked Touch Pro version and snap it in, it's the same back piece! No need to spray pant your phone, LOL.
I didn't get mine yet but not because of the back finish I simply don't want to wait for rebates and all that garbage I'll get mine when BBY Mobile gets them, if they never get them then I guess I'll just never get the phone. To be honest I lost 99% of my interest in this thing waiting for it to come out, now it's like I don't know if I even want it anymore.

true dat, but, if you have a decent phone then you can wait. as for me, i've been using a t-mobile mda with a failing keyboard so i've been watching the release dates like a hawk. then when i went monday to play with a demo before the big release, the guy said yeah we had these for a couple days now. DOH

Agreed. If the back was enough to completely turn you off of the Fuze, then you clearly didn't want it that badly to begin with.
Well..
Is this the perfect device (that is really subjective) Do I dislike the fingerprint aspect, Yes, Can I live with that, Yes. will someone come up with a fix for that (most likely).
Cheers

I've found the butt cheek wipe works (wipes?) better if there is fabric covering the butt cheek.
Wow, i have to agree this thread is really lame.

There are many names I could call you, but I'll keep them clean... Negative Nancy, Debbie Downer, take your pick, there's no reason for a comment like that. You're always the first to tell me half of my posts are arguing, yet 75% of yours are scolding others for what they do on the forum. If it's such a crime he'll be admonished by a moderator, let them judge.
While the glossy black fingerprint sucking evilness of the device IS a huge turnoff, I bought it anyway .
It's a shame it's glossy though. You'd have thought electronics companies would have learned their lesson after PSP, but apparently not. I *hate* glossy black electronics with a fiery passion. Still...the Fuze is a damn nice phone

Indeed, I loved the gray the pre-release had, I don't know why they wrecked it. They had the choices of either matte black like the unlocked version or gray like the pre-release, and they picked glossy black like the Diamond, ugh. The Diamond looks really sharp... until you touch it. Same goes for the Fuze now.
hey guys, i really dont like the back cover on the fuze, and heard that the touch pro back cover (gsm version, not sprint) is a rubberized one.. is that true? if so, does anybody know if they're interchangeable? if they are, where can we get them.. i've searched ebay and cnn.cn, and neither one has it right now.. thanks

I would prefer the matte version of the cover as well, but not to the tune of $31.00 + shipping. For that amount of money, I can put up with a lot of fingerprints!
ya, but besides that, it doesnt even look right. dunno if its a wrong picture or what though...i'm hoping they should be on ebay soon? i also emailed cnn.cn asking them if they plan on carrying them.

It's the wrong picture; the site says, "The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery [sic] cover."
I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago asking if this (http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p...er=wmusfroogle) would fit the Fuze and was told in so many words "no".
i'd actually prefer this one:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=172018
but not as an "Extended" version. the picture is hard to make out, but it's looks flat at hte back. I'd rather have that than teh stupid diamond back design lol
All the guys with the Sprint CDMA version complain about their backs to. Minus the fact that Sprint stupidly went with a non-matching colou,r I'd actually prefer the CDMA backing, it's matte, smooth, and IMO looks better

Confirmed, the one sent IS the original touch pro cover. I love it!
I've been looking around for a wile now and can seem to only find two devises.
Onemoreface which isn't even being manufactured yet. And, one for the iphone.
Has anyone tested the iphone one on their G2? Also, does anyone know of any other accessories that would work?
Thanks in advance,
Groboto
I was thinking about this the other day and thought about building something, which would probably end up looking really ghetto.
Do you have a link to the iphone one? I would love something like this for my phone.

It only goes to show how insensitive HTC became when they were designing the G2 & DZ to leave out the front camera.
Had I fully explored the DZ, I probably would have given it a miss for not having a front-facing camera like the one on the TP2; I took it as a given.
I'll get that iSnapMe when i get my Z and test it out for you Although Onemoreface does look nicer Infact i wrote an article about that this morning lol

Yeah i realized that the quality of senny's front camera is very poor.
I just imagining how to change the camera using other front camera hardware.
Is that possible?
It has 1.3mp quality, but depend on the result, it just like a hell crap vga quality image.

Probably not going to happen. Internally, the design only allows for the camera that's pre installed. Everything from the shape to the design of the flex cable and software is made to support the unit HTC built for this phone.
Now if you're able to build a new one from scratch and alter the software it could be possible then. Why not consider the One X or One for the better cameras?

senny's front camera quality is quiet poor,but it is only in low light and night condition.On sun light,at least its better.
one X and one are expensive as hell,even much expensive on second hand prices.

That's true! Just wish they made the internals more plug and play friendly for people like us who want to upgrade their phone components without having to purchase an entire new phone to do so.
Have you checked eBay? I've seen used One X phones sell between 110-180 which is close to what a used Sensation is going for around here as well.
If you can repair a broken screen, you can find them even cheaper than that. Might be with considering upgrading if you can sell your Sensation and break even in the process!

it is better to be have a phone without any fault instead of having broken screen issue,just only way to have is to save/earn enough money to buy an one X or an one.

Most definitely. When you're ready to upgrade, the good news is if you decide to sell your Sensation, with the One X, your out of pocket cost will be minimal!
