Okay i've been trying to track down where to get the front facing camera to install for my 8525. I actually saw an auction on youtube but i couldnt find a case so i didnt order (big mistake since now i found a case and am stuck with a hole) anyways back to the topic
- Can anyone supply me with the front facing camera so i can install it in my phone?
- Does anyone know if other camera's work with our hermes for ex: http://cgi.ebay.com/Y206-Int-Camera...88055751QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3728QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/Y104-Int-Camera...52266913QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3311QQcmdZViewItem
I asked cnn.cn about the camera and all they said is they'll check but that was the last of that.
any leads would be appreciated. THX

I was wondering the same thing, I cant find the front camera anywhere
Good News and Bad News
Good news
is i found the OLD (Nov 2nd) auction that had the front camera for our 8525s and others that lack front camera
Bad news
The auction has been over for a while
lets hope they have some in stock. If anyone is interested let me know and i'll order as many as i can, surprisingly enough they are very very cheap.
Happy new years.
Maybe a dumb question... How do you know for sure that this is the correct camera and is it a simple plug in? Is the socket already in place in the phone?

not a dumb question at all, the links i posted above are not the correct camera. i am trying to contact the company that sells those to see if they have for our hermes.
on to the 2nd question: the socket is already in place on the phone, all you have to do is plug in the camera to the connector and you are good to go.
Outstanding! Now I just need to get the nerve to open up my new 8525.
I saw this thread and thought this might help a little bit:

Thread on HoFo (actually a tutorial) for changing the housing, but the last few pages focus on the camera. This guy bought a broken TyTn and took the camera out of it, there are also some pictures to give you a better idea of what to look for.
I have one. I took it out cause it was pointless I have tmobile US and they dont support it anyway. So anyone interested can IM me im usually on MSN. My SN is in my profile.

interested in that camera and the location of a plce I can get the housing from too
I just ordered a black HTC branded housing (at least that's what appears in the pictures) from China_Store on Ebay. It's been a few days and I still haven't received any confirmation from them, though.
You can find theirs and a couple other's by searching for "8525 housing" and setting the price range from $25 - 100. Here's a direct link.
Good luck!
Mine has a front cam, but I've never used it... How pointless
I bought the Front Camera for my 8525 and I bought The Case for it as well. Took me 1 2 3 with the Tutuorial From HoFo and a Few other sites. I was disappointed when I found out the China Store Wasn't selling them anymore. I have another 8525 I want the front camera for. It's super Cheap And a good Mod. I use it once in a while for pix and I tested it out for video and it works...But rare....Not totally useless I Live in NYC....
anyone find out where they sell them ... Put me down for 1
Front Camera Mania

It may help to know the following:
The front camera is manufactured by the Liteon Corporation of Taiwan:
http://www.liteon.com/page.aspx?id=4cdd6857-1b68-4eec-82c2-3d612c9b866f
It may be worth checking with them to see if they supply direct through their on-line Service Contact page:
http://www.liteon.com/Services.aspx?id=34a8d337-1424-4c7a-b219-80a96f109207
The Front Camera Module is:
Liteon Part No: 05P019
HTC Part No: 54H00157-00P (HTC list no alternatives for this component)
Mike
I'd definitely like one too.
I've contacted LiteOn Semiconductor...
about the front camera's....if I come up with something, I will post it here.
In the meantime, does anyone know where I can pick up a housing on the cheap ( other than ebay ) ? I'd prefer the HTC one, so I can get the keypad to replace as well ( it's got the video call button ), but it's not a hard requirement.
Anyone with the info can just PM me, and for everyone's POM, I'll update this thread in a few days, regardless of whether I hear from them or not.
How's you account for the hole for the camera ?

Did you BORE out a hole or did you replace the front bezel completely ?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
I'm curious as to what program you can use to access the front camera? Video calling (I'm aware of) or multipurpose? Thanks!
Are these cameras no longer available? I hate to buy a HTC housing and have nothing to put in there... I would have to close the hole up with a plastic piece to make it at least look like there is something there rather than just a hole for dust to get in.
Can someone tell me if this is a legit root for the Verizon Sony Xperia Z3v?
http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/sony-xperia-z3v-6796.html
or this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH89pJLWfKg
Or is it all a scam? I tried looking for the first one through XDA cause they are claiming they rewrote the tutorial from XDA
It's a scam
First link, I just judge by what color ring my WOT icon is, and it's yellow. So no, not trusted.
Second link, look at how many dislikes compared to likes. So...nope! xD
If anything, someone who's notable would come out around these parts (on XDA) to make announcements that our phones is getting root with his/her proven work, that's where you should be getting from.
Edit: For the first link, you could even try navigating around the website. All of the links ends up back at that one page. Don't fall for stuff like this, trust in the true Lollipop update when it comes. lol

I don't know if it's a scam (will install malicious sw if you try it) or just someone who didn't know what they're talking about (regurgitated content that doesn't apply to us). First, z3v is not on the supported devices for the root process. Neither is the regular z3. As far as Lollipop, the instructions require an unlocked bootloader, which we don't have.
Wonder if one of those is the Ransomware that is going around? Install the malicious app and your phone is locked down until you pay a "ransom" to get it unlocked.

Technology got too far to be able to do this, yet I somehow believe it.
Thanks everyone I knew it was too good to be true. XDA guys have the greatest minds! . I hope there will be a root for our phone before lollipop comes out
asking for help
Hey everyone. .am from algeria and I really love this phone ! But am wondering if this phone will be able to work in my country. ..I mean in algeria with our service... please give me an answer.... am waiting.. thanks...
Yes it should work. This phone is Sim unlocked.
wondering
Is the xperia z3v better and faster than the xperia z3 !!
I really want to buy the xperia z3v ... and the xperia z3 !!! It's hard to choose. ...
help me please. ..
Well with you already being international I would recommend the Z3 with it being a global phone. I'm not certain which one would take advantage of your towers the easiest.
And with the international version, you get root and a two day battery life. Plus higher ISO sensitivity with your only drawbacks in pink circles appearing on your pictures and maybe faulty wrist straps that ruin waterproof.
Eh...
Hi all,
As said in the title I need a XA Ultra for investigations around the brick problem and try to find a solution to resurrect it.
I don't need it for free but it can be very generous if yes, you can help me by donate to buy a broken device or sell it to me for a reasonable price.
It's absolutely not for my personal use, my girlfriend have it and will never allow me to dev (rom and other) with her device as long as playing around the Ultra is not safe. I hope you understand my request.

Hi everyone,
I'm considering on buying the phone but I know it doesn't have any official IP rating, so I just wanted to know if members had problems with water or dust while using the phone.
Can someone please share your experiences?
Thank you,
Best Regards to all
Hello,
I've recently dropped my MIX 4 and glass on the display is cracked. And since this phone is china-only, can someone tell me how can I get the replacement parts? Do you know something? It's a small crack but I want to replace the glass or even the display. Or if anyone here is living in China and can help me with this?
Thank you.
Edit #1:
Found this website, did anyone buy from them? Is it legit? https://www.deviceparts.com/c/xiaomi-mi-mix-4/
i had a google page and they did contact me before... haven't tried out though.
reviews seem fine, and at least they are active.
Please try with sunsky
