hope it isn`t the sign, tjat HTC is going apple way..
I'm guessing you do not want to use a case? I'm using the Capdase Alumor Case and it's great and the phone doesn't wobble if I put it down to type on it.
Hello guys, good night.....
+1
the camera design really suxx ;(
but hey.. i found out that the lens ins under the main cover, and that thingy wich makes our device wobble around is just a protection.. is this possible? so we could probably just crack it away.. but im too scared to do it :333
If i put mine down. I put it on top of the leather case it came with and it doesn't wobble when used!

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to get the front camera working.
When I use fring for vid calls I get the back cam to work...but thats difficult to be seen. I was wondering if anybody has a work around for the front cam with fring?? or any other software.
Thanks in advance guys.
cheers
HD2 doesn't have a front camera...
ähm, there´s no front cam at the hd2
Someone is a little off on their spec list...
He probably saw the ambient light sensor hole and assumed it was a front facing camera. Looks very similar to the one on the evo.
What you're seeing is the proximity sensor.

Haha funniest question ever!!!!

Dont listen to these guys ^^^ they dont know what they are talking about.
To activate the HD2s front camera you simply have to Press Ctrl+Alt+del on the HD2s slide-out keyboard
Oh... errr wait a minute...

I think we can already say FOR SURE that the hd2 has no front camera.
Please DONT report your findings

I am having a very hard time removing the rear cover. I've removed the two screws but I still can't seem to get any of my plastic case opening tool in. What gives? I'm almost questioning the importance of those two screws...

Hi everyone. Today, I noticed that something is covering my front camera lens.
Do you know what is that piece covering the camera? Anyone encounter this situation?
I didn't drop my phone not even once and I tried to smack the top of the phone to see if it moves, but no luck.
P.S. The camera is able to take pictures normally.
I have a SM-N9005.
Thanks
Go exchange it... Looks like a faulty device. It could be a piece of electrical tape in the wrong position.

Looks like some sort of cover for the camera.
Maybe this site can help understand: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+3+Teardown/19209
But i think @nicholaschum 's solution will work best.

Hey you were right. Soon as i posted my issue, i thought i would watch a dismantle video and presto! It was a round rubber like washer that has slipped from around the camera.
All sorted now
Hi....Can you let me know how did you get this fixed as I am also having the same issue....

I don't think they will consider to be a faulty device and change it, although I would like a new Note 3 :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
To me, it seems to be a soft plastic that keeps the front-camera in position and not to touch directly the front-panel (display assembly).
So, probably they will change/remove the soft plastic
GO to your provider an request a NEW device
Do this : Contact 1st Samsung Service in your country and tell to them the problem becouse this a factory fault phone .
After you make some papers and a proove that you contacted already the samsung Service from your country , contact your seller and show him the problem
YOU MUST proove that : you did NOT DROPED your PHONE , DID NOT SHOCKED YOUR PHONE with some other things , like drop with speed in bed trow in the pillow etc etc , proove that you did not used any screwdriver , to have ORANGE WATER SENSOR in the back under the battery STILL ORANGE and NO ROOTED PHONE .
THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR DEVICE , BECOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THAT IS A PART OF A PLASTIC THAT WAS SLIPPERED FROM HIS PLACE .
I'm posting this as a guide to repairing your GPS at the hardware level after a teardown. So you decided to replace your broken screen, or put on some fancy back cover on your M8. Or even sent in your phone for repair just get it back with no GPS lock. You notice your phone sees satellites but can't get a fix/lock because the signal is to low. Simple fix. I've attached some images to help explain the process.
First you need to remove the back cover. Just the back cover. (This is a nice tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDsZLl_JzwA )
Second. Locate ITEM #1 at the top of the phone shown in the attached pictures. This is a copper metal tab that bends easily. My guess, this get bent during teardown.
Third. Locate ITEM #2 on the back cover shown in the attached pictures. This is a contact point for ITEM #1.
Fourth. Bend ITEM #1 so it contacts ITEM #2 when you reassemble the back cover. That's it.
Fifth. Download GPS Statues from the market and test your GPS.
Sixth. Hit the thanks button and enjoy a beer.
thank you
very nice idea and saved my day/week/month.... i tried everything regarding software, firmware and rom but nothing would help.
at the same time when i flashed to another rom i tried to fix my speaker and i had to remove the speaker cover.... i never thought of a hardware problem but my GPS is functioning well again now.

I couldn't find this copper tab (maybe the reason why mine isn't working), but I also couldn't see it in the video you linked to?

Yeah. Hard to see it in the video. That's just for teardown. Best is to check the pics. That tab should be at the top of the phone next to the power button. Unless yours is missing altogether. It is pretty flimsy.

Ouch! Not sure. I think it's soldiered to the board. You may want to use a generic piece of metal and just sandwich it place. It just has to touch the case.
thanks man i will try it!!

Any luck with your attempt to fix this with that tab gone? This also happened to me after I had swapped colors. Love the phone but I need GPS lock.

Does anyone have a better picture of the tab? I think mine is broken off, but I can't tell from the blurry pictures. I tried stuffing aluminum foil in the gap, but I'm not sure if I'm touching the correct points. The phone is now locking a few satellites, but only barely enough - and it is super slow. This is better than without the foil, but not a ton better.
Thanks so much for sharing the info!
This fixed my no GPS locks after a back/case change.
I did break the metal clip slightly, so be very gentle, but kitchen foil did the trick.
ut.
