Can camera module be removed for desire?

Hi GUys,
Anyone know if the camera module for the HTC desire is soldered on to the base board?
On my Hero, it was just stuck on and connected via a flex cable...I desperately need to remove the camera module.
Thanks!!!

I have no idea how to do that, but curiosity got over me, so I have to ask.
Why do you want to remove camera in the first place?

Office security policy does not allow cameras on-site :X

And you would butcher your phone to do that? :S

just put a black sticker over the inside of the back cover, try take a photo and show security.

in that case, isn't it better to get yourself a low-tech phone without cam for that purpose?
I mean it's a such a shame to butcher Desire for that reason...

well could you live with a low tech phone?
it isnt bad if the camera is just attached by a flex cable because you can always put it back.
i guess I'll just end up being the first one to try : (

Have a Desire as a weekend phone - crap, non-camera one for week days...job done!!

And defeat the purpose of buying the Desire? Maybe he needs all the features of the Desire while at work where a dumb phone wouldn't cut it?
The sticker over the lens idea sounds good if they'll accept it.

I didnt understand your answer. did you manage to tear out the camera?
"one" referes to another desire or a crappy phone?

Check out these teardown pics.

Looks like it is soldered on.

Camera Issue

I just recently bought a used black myTouch 3G Slide, and it is in excellent condition. I only have 1 problem though...... My camera isn't working correctly. I have done some searching online, but I have found no solutions. Everyone seems to replace their phone by T-Mobile. Unfortunately I can't do that since I didn't get the warrant from the guy I bought it from. : / In an attempt to fix this problem I loaded a custom ROM. Cyanogen Mod 6 is amazing, but it didn't fix my problem. I even tried downloading FXCamera from the market, but still nothing. Looking around the net it seems XDA is one of the best forums for android users. Can anyone please assist me, or possibly link something that will help me fix this annoying problem?
Btw, hello everyone at XDA! I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum!

I myself probably cannot help, but I can be helpful!
From looking around, I think it might help others here if you describe what exactly is going on with the camera.
Is the screen blank? Does it force close? Can you take pictures, but they don't save or maybe they save as black image? What happens?
I hope that there's some sort of fix for you, since I can't help... but I can try to get more insight into the issue from you... and bump the thread so people can see and maybe help out!

When I take a picture it doesn't focus. Pictures up close are really good quality, but anything that is not right in front of the camera is blurry. I have auto focus on, and tried manually focusin but no luck. I hold my hand still, and I hold down the picture button to focus. It still takes crap pictures.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me, your focus is stuck/broken. Warranty replacement maybe?

Not to be an ass, but did you read my post? I said I bought it from someone on craigslist, and I don't have a warranty.

Yeah I didn't see that at first, sorry. Then aside from buying a broken slide off ebay and salvaging the camera from it and manually installing it into your phone, or paying tmobile to repair it, you're out of luck.

I agree with MusicMan374, it sounds like a hardware issue if you have auto focus on or it doesn't respond when you select what item to focus on using the screen (stock rom)

HTC One X Rear Camera Replacement?

Hi guys,
Does anybody know exactly what rear camera module I need for my HTC One X ?
My serienumber is: HT24MW11511......
Because my camera died on me, it just returns a black screen when opening the camera-app and the app freezes then.
Hard-reset (factory reset) didn't help.
Opening the hardware from the case didn't show any damage, but there could be a loose wire or so. Couldn't get that deep inside the camera module.
I have read threads about different type of modules for different type of One X models.
I wonder if the G23 S720e module is the right one for my model.
I also couldn't find any differences between modelnumbers like HT24, HT25 etc....
Maybe someone could post the differences other than only the manufacturing date.
So, anybody know if these camera-modules are correct for replacement with my broken rear camera?

PS: Is there also a difference in EU htc one x's and US one x's ?
Mine is a non-rooted original dutch EU htc one x.
Kind regards!

There is a thread here discussing this, there does seem to be different camera modules.

yeah i know about that thread and have read it, but I couldn't get any wiser from that. That thread also talks about a mistake about cleaning the lens with alcohol or something, It doesn't explain in detail anything about the differences in models and differences in camera-modules or any tips/tricks to get a broken camera working again.
Detailed info would be something like part-numbers etc.
Or tutorials on how to replace the camera etc.
But cheers for the quick reply

i will be appreciated for help me ✌

It's most likely a hardware issue. Many people are facing this. Just type in "pixel camera not working" and you'll see a lot of articles talking about it. Permanent fix is to replace camera module

No. You can check if camera is damaged using a strong neodymium magnet. Just google this.

I did google and saw that. I am hoping someone on here reads this and explain why freezing my phone makes the camera work

I don't know. I don't recommend doing this since the water will condense on the internal parts of the phone (warm and cold difference) and you risk shorting something out or you risk damaging the battery.

Question Problem with wifi and audio

Hello everybody,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 last year.
Until August 2022 I have never had any problems.
Then now it is not possible to enable wifi and when I open it the audio no longer works.
I called Samsung about the warranty and they told me it's not covered by the warranty for them because it has a small mark
in a corner of the smartphone, absurd.
So since I am an IT and electronic technician and I have already repaired Iphone in the past, I am trying to repair it myself.
Also because to repair it out of warranty they asked me for 600 euro.
I have already opened the back cover and checked the various flex cables.
I wanted to ask you if there was a Fold 3 hardware expert among you, I mean that he knows the various components.
for example for the wifi problem that does not enable what should I look at exactly, does it have its own board or a flex cable that I can replace?
For audio not working when I open it here too maybe it could be a flex cable problem.
I have yet to open the main display to see the other components.
Let me know if there is any expert.
Thanks
