hello to everyone
need you help on some kind of link or contact that will have in stock the rear camera for my kaiser i need top repalce it as i have a line on it when i take pictuires or watch the view finder on my lcd
thanks
are you sure it's not a line on your cover? take the battery cover off the phone and then try again, if that gets rid of the line then you need to buy a new back for your phone, and that's cheaper

Hello, does the macro function (the switch near the lens) really work? I tried several pictures and can't see any difference between normal and macro.
I notice that I can't put the switch fully to the top (to normal mode) but easily full to the bottom (to macro). Maybe it's dispositioned and therefor it doesn't reach the macro function internally?
Works extremely well for me. You are trying to use it in a macro fashion right, ie trying to focus on something say < 15cms away?

yes I am. I'm afraid by device has to go back to repair (just got it back today from another repair which lasted a month...)

This is sheer carelessness from your last repair. There is nothing broken on the camera zoom just that the back has been placed on and the catch on the casing has missed the toggle arm on camera. A simple 20 sec job which you could easily do yourself if it weren't for that VOID sticker. Give your last repairer a good talking to.

If you mean the little sticker on top of the screw next to the camera on the right, this is already broken, by the HTC repairer I assume...
When I unscrew the back (4 screws) then I will be able to repair it myself you think? (first find the appropriate screwdriver).

Yes it's an easy fix as there is nothing broken inside. Get set of phone screwdrivers from maplin or such like. Open phone bottom end first needs just a little bit of easing out as there are pop in connections all around. Tilt bottom edge up and with a bit of judicious wiggling it will pop off!. The problem will be immediately obvious. There is a small "arm" on the camera that fits into the movable macro switch on the case.
Easiest wat I've found to get them to match up is move both lever and and switch toward top of device and place back on by moving it straight down onto phone (not at an angle). Before putting screws in check switch moves fully and in good light you'll actually see lens and black ring moving in an out. Once full screwed up (forgive expression) you may need to press a little on top edge to get case to return fully into position.

Many thanx, it works again!!!
As you said I lifted the bottom, played with the switch and it fell into place!
First I tried to remove the whole cover, but at the cameraside it didn't get off that easy and I was affraid to damage something. But then I solved it without lifted the whole cover. SO I'M VERY HAPPY NOW!!!
(by the way, is there a trick to get the whole cover off? Not that I want to do that at the moment...)

Congratulations

Knew you could do it, congratulations. The back is fiddly, it helps if you have the tool that looks like a flat blade screwdriver with a slightly bend tip - meant for providing a little leverage to pull the case out enough to release the click in clips. A blunt knife could also be used if you want to go down market. Steer clear of a sledgehammer though!

I somehow managed to get water in my screen so now the tapping function doesnt work. I dont know what else to do. I am currently in Beijing and bought it second hand so I'm not sure if the warranty is still in place and if so how abouts to get it to a retailer. The only thing I want to do now is try to open it up and see if I can try to clean up the moisture and water since its still there. I tried opening it but there are only two screws at the bottom back side of the unit that are available to me to get to. I'm not sure how to go about and disassembling the whole thing. The pda is really important to me since I use it as a chinese dictionary. I dont know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. Bye

Firstly, you can check if it is still under warranty by registering it on O2 website, you will need the original receipt to claim warranty (and moisture damage is not covered by warranty). Secondly, if you want to fix it yourself and I dare say its too late as the battery would need to be removed immediately as moisture enters the device, even if you manage to get an LCD (roughly US$250)and you're able to fit it there's a posibility the main board and components are damaged too. However, I have repaired to some degree with many tedious hours of careful cleaning with pure Ethanol. My advice to you is send it to O2 for repair and do not put the battery into device!
can you tell me how to take it apart? everything seems to be working fine, just that certain areas on the screen i can't tap. I know there are two screws at the bottom back side of the unit where it says void. But other than that I dont know what else to do to get the unit open.

the housing for the camera must be removed, very carefully, under that cover are two more screws.

Thanks zecoj, however I have worked it out for myself and posted in this forum (what I believe is) the crucial stage of disassembly process. I cant believe how nicely designed the Atom is, for all its downfalls I now have new hope in my Atom....

anyone have experience taking apart the phone and replacing the camera module? or know what instruments are needed for this? thanks a lot!
Which Camera module did you need to replace ?
The main module (The one next to the battery) or the low res version for Video Calls ??
Both are fairly straight forward to replace (The Main one is actually easier than the Video Call One).....
The biggest problem you will have is obtaining one of these modules...
Having said that though, I did see a link here not so long ago for a place in china that was selling parts for these things relatively cheap (Screens, cases, etc).....
As for getting to the main module...
1) Remove Battery cover, battery, and all the screws around the battery area..
2) Remove the bottom cover (From memory there are 4 clips... Take your time and prise them off with a screwdriver...)
3) You should have access to the Camera module (From memory... Its been a long time since I took mine apart)....
There is a workshop manual on here somewhere... Definitely download the thing as it explains everything in regards to taking apart and putting the thing back together again....
yeah the main back camera
ill look around for the manual.. thanks!

It's on the ftp. Something with confidential in the name.
BTW I took mine apart (to replace the LCD and later again to replace the flex cable) and now the camera doesn't work anymore.
Hi man i have the same problem with you once my phone fell of and i think the camera is damaged so pleas if you find any links of the selling parts post it hear.I also damaged the flash light too.
Wow, my camera just started working again. I had the "Failed to initialize camera 3600:100:x" error.
I actually tried fixing that by swapping the camera from another MDA Pro, but that didn't help.
My main camera is not working and the flash too its not giving me any errors when i start the camera it takes some time to start and the only thing i have is a black screen my flash is not working too.Is there a place to bye one of these?Or if i send it to qteq will they fix it?And how much they will charge me for this?and i was thinking to sell it oh man.
Can the hardware camera module on the T-Mobile Wing be removed without breaking the phone or the camera?
My situation is that I need to work in a place where camera devices (including those on mobile phones) are not allowed. I like to bring my T-Mobile Wing with me to work so one option given to me is that I need to damage the camera on the phone making it not workable. Though I don't really use the camera, in general I don't like to break perfectly working things, so I would like to find out if the camera can be removed.
Thanks.
Maybe
I would have to say "no dice" on that one scratching the surface. You can remove the camera module but you would also take out the speakers and I think the antenna as well but don't quote me on that.
Yes sir you can... just look up the repair guide to the Herald and it'll show you, with pictures, step by step how to completely disassemble the phone .
It's a PDF file and pretty much all you have to do is take off the 4 screws (voids warranty) and take it off carefully then just remove the antennae and then the camera and put back on the antennea... but I haven't opened my phone in a while so it could go either way .
hehe no way u can open up that little piece with the speakers and camera lens??? crazieness
Does anyone make a back cover that covers up the camera? Some searching didn't turn up anything.
Electrical tape is your friend. (remove cover, and put a strip of electical tape over the camera port, [top hole], replace cover, and your camera will be covered.) Why would you want to disable the camera anyhow?
I was looking for this too because I rarely use the camera and the phone would look nice if it was simply black on the back.
Unfortunately I didn't find anything and not a big fan of "taping" my phone
Work reasons. Need it to look like it's not a camera.
They make a Fuze that comes without a cameraZ (found out the hard way by accidentally buying one).. Go to AT&T and see if they can get you a back for one of those.. Or do some googling
Googling didn't turn up anything useful, hence the post. Thanks for letting me know about the version without the camera though, I'll stop by a store and see what they can do.
