HALF FRONT of WIZARD Slightly ROCKING,MOVING

hi wizard brothers n sisters, just got my BNew imate kjam last week and it kinda irritate me, the FRONT(i mean the half front that has the screen,button etc.) of the kjam is quite loosen, not tight enough,and it's moving a little bit,when you rock it.hope you understand what i mean.
does anyBODY here have the same WIZARD problem? is this NORMAL or WHAT?
it's just a little tiny bit of movement,but it's REALLT IRRITATE me:evil: ,m very sorry,m just a 99% perfectionist,but if this is normal then i accept for the love of wizard.
i didn't bought HERMES yet because it's still NEW in the market,maybe m gonna w8t until the BUGS decrease around 90%

does anybody experience this? it's like when your in portrait mode,the front is not that quite lock toght,it's moving a VERY little bit. so is this NORMAL?
quite confusing....

if you only know HOW MUCH this cost in our country,maybe you'll be sensitive as much as me

@ ArtXT
I don't know if your problem is similar to my Qtek 9100 (sounds like it might be), basically my top housing(screen and buttons) had a small gap between the it and the keyboard when in "portrait mode" and sort of had a rocking motion as you mentioned when pressing on the "call" and "end" buttons or anywhere in the vicinity, but I thought nothing of it at the time (still annoyed me though :wink: ), and 9 months later it developed an annoying creaking noise everytime I pushed on the "end call" button or anywhere just below the buttons. I compared it my friend's MDA and noticed that his had no gap between the keyboard and screen housing what so ever (nice and snug). So, being under the Qtek 2 year warranty I sent it in for repairs via Sound Solutions AM, about 3 weeks ago and is on its way back. The repair company noted that the it was due to a "poor fit" and it being "out of shape" and was covered under warranty. I should be getting it back hopefully this week if not early next week and will post the results...In the meanwhile I feel that you should consider exchanging it or sending it in for warranty repairs....that's just me, after seeing my friends MDA, it was a no brainer for me, hope this helps.
Regards,

tnx for the reply bro, but my problem is not like that,mine has a little gap also,but very very little,what i mean is the lower part lock mechanism of my kjam is some some of NOT TIGHT. maybe i'll just bring it back for some service maintenance,my friend to me that he got the same problem and doesn't annoy him,he said get use to it bec. it's a mechanism device so xpect that in the future,he said the important thing is it runs 100%, and it's true,the performance,software and hardware are both running 100% wild.maybe it's me that has a problem attitude of such device. :lol:

Any tips for stylus retention?

Both mine and the wife's Exec's now have loose styluses, is there any way to fix this?

Sellotape

My Wizard's always done this. I've had it apart and couldn't fix it, so have settled for using a couple of turns of sellotape around the tip end of the stylus. Do it neatly and you can't see it, and it works nicely.

i put two small pieces of insulating tape in the hole where the stylus goes... it seems to hold well. i have attached a image. good luck

Hi,
It looks the same size - does it really stay in place more than the original, if so I'll get one!!
Thanks Matt

Tape: £1.39
Time out from work to craft the end of the tape to suit the exec: £4.50
The look on my other half's face when I prove the stylus will stay put: Priceless.
For most things you can use your Mastercard, for everything else, there's insulating tape.
P.S. I used black so it doesn't look so conspicious... is it vain or just the geek in me?
Best wishes,

i just wrapped a little tape around the stylus, just where the plastic meets the metal, works great, had it in situ around 4/5 months now

Not dropped out of my Exec yet. Funny thing is, I didn't think it would last long so I also bought a pack of 3 stock Stylus. Never used them. Hope I never will.
The new one has been in since Dec 06, used daily, and still going strong.
Regards
Mav

my stylus wud come out as if cheese but then i lifted the black part little up and now it stays in it place

Best thing is to actually get one of those 3-in one styli. They are actually a little thicker, which means they stay in a lot better. Mobile Fun sell them. Just google them and fine oneone.

It didn't take much to breake the glas

Be careful, I had my HD in my left pocket. I took the bus into town, the busdriver started to drive before I was seated and I bumped into the edge of a seat. My HD now looks like this
Does anyone know if there are spare parts availiable?

Flippin' heck, that doesn't look good I feel for you.
A warning to everyone, put the phone in your pocket screen side towards your body for maximum cushioning!

wiew that looks really bad! i'm afraid there no spare parts yet. Be patient, there will be after a while when more of these broken HD's will appear...

Oh my god, I'm feeling bad for you. Thank you for telling us. Try to go to an HTC center and ask them how much ($) and how long is required for a repair.
How strong was the hit? And is the display still working, despite the crack?

There is also another reason for this. Because antenna is usually at back side, it's also bit more healthy. Especially if you keep phone in your trousers next to your "jewellery" ))

Damn that doenst look good

The hit was not bad at all, in fact I didn't notice the phone was broken until I was about to use it.
And yes, everything seems to work alright.

if the repair is too expensive...
I will buy it as it is.. if you want to sell the broken HD

asoebye, sorry to see this. We're all assuming you had the screen side away from your body in the pocket, can you confirm ??
As I suppose if an impact was large enough, even if you have the screen side in, a crack is possible.

Always put your HD in nice leather case

OMG! This sight will give me nightmares!

sorry to see this
I feel with you!
But it seems the screen is of glass. I thougth it was plastic.

when did you buy the phone? if it was less than 45 days ago you should be able to take out insurance...

omg, i`m sorry man. it looks bad. hope you can fix it.
wouldn`t this happen with a leather case? i mean leather is flexible...

guys, just have insurance for your phone and your get a free replacement

Yes, I can confirm that. The thougt of such an accident has never entered my mind. I have never destroyed ANY phone. I got a scratch in my P3600 because I dropped it, and thats what I was most affraid of with my HD also.
But if you have the screen against your thigh I think you need a quite a hit to destroy the glass. The backcover will probably break first.
I think I will have that in mind from now on ...

DAMNNNNNN!! BAD LUCK

Good idea any pointers where we go to? the cheap and best place to get it insured?

I'm going to get CPP Fonesafe, but this is only available in Italy. There is also an UK version with the same name, but it costs 7 pounds a month, so it's not what I call cheap.

Droped my HD down the bog...but...

...it's still working!
I think it's the luckiest HD in the world.
It was in it's stock pouch and was scooped out within seconds. The battery quickly taken off and with the back off, card out, etc put straight into the airing cupboard (the little cupboard where the hot water tank is). This all happened at about 8am this morning. Got a call from the girlfriend at about 4pm this afternoon telling me she'd put it back together and it was cool. Wasn't too happy she'd done that, was gonna give it at least 48 hours but it's working. Seems to have dried out perfectly. Nothing under the screen, everything work fine.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
I think it was the pouch that saved it, probably soaked up the water before it got to the device.

Thanks for sharing this. I use mine every morning in there too but it's not happened to me yet. I will be extra careful from now on maybe take the pouch with me

It was actually the process of puting my HD back in the pouch that made me drop it but thank god it made it back in just in time. I know what you mean though, every morning while dropping a bomb i'm checking my mail and seeing what the M1 is like before deciding on my route to work!

no kidding...you are luckier than sh#t!

If it plays up, wash it in distilled water and then dry it for 48 hours.

LMAO! Did this a couple of weeks back with my sons iphone, spent 2 hours blowing all the water out via the headphone socket lol. That works better now than before, he reckons it cleaned the crap from out the speakers and now is louder than ever lol. Maybe we should start a new section on the weirdest things you've managed to do with you're phone

Take care a close friend of mine dropped the EEPC in the toilet. He was smoking, some ash fall down on the legs, he opened them to avoid burn and the little toy from asus made a dive. All this happened before flushing the toilet, so before he got it to the service center he had also to clean it and parfume it.

A way to avoid this happening would be not to play with "toys" in the bathroom!!

From the last few posts i can say : none of the WM devices stink, even those which have been in toilet!!!!!!!
and gues im not looking for a new pouch -- keeping the original one!!!!

Boy oh boy that is damn funny, my old man did it many yrs ago when the first StarTac came out.
He came around the hallway swearing, googley eyed looking left and right and stated, "that was the most expensive s..t I ever had!"
He had stood up and flushed and at the exact same time the phone had popped off his belt and disappeared.
Incidentally he did get it back, it stuck to tree roots further down the drain, mind you it never worked again. heh heh.

Personally, I find dehydrated water is kinder and produces more consistent results.

Battery Cover Not Fitting (Quick "Fix")

I've had issues with the battery cover not being flush and having lips on both sides. Now you may think I'm crazy for posting this, but hell...I didn't think the solution I found would actually work.
Basically, I just took a post-it and folded it twice (maybe three, I forget) and placed it under the cover...perfectly flush now!
I figured it would just push the cover and create more lip, but instead I tried it and it make it fit perfect! All seriousness, I was considering using rubber cement to hold it...I'm glad I didn't.

Strange
Worked for me too! Who would have thought... Thanks for the advice.

Where did you place the post it? Dead center?

Dead center over the battery.
I also cut it in half, it was pushing the cover a bit too far out near the camera.

wow! i didn't even realize this bothered me until you pointed it out. super simple fix. you sir, are a genius. well done!

woah cool
10char

This bothered the hell out of me as well... for some reason it's only the right side (when the phone is facing down) that doesn't sit flush on the edges. The left side is perfectly fine.
Unfortunately your fix doesn't do much to help my situation but I'll play around with it a little more. Great idea though

I noticed this also but when I put the ext battery that i bought for the Hero in it went away.. You can always put a Innocase II on it and that takes care of the problem too

sorry i should be more clear..its just a 2000 ext hero battery that is the same size as original..its was $10 on ebay so i went ahead and just got it for kicks.

oh ok... yea those batterys are the same thing as the 1500....

Mine is also lipped on the right side if the phone is facing down. I'm trying all kinds of things right now to fix this.

you say that but i have one of those batterys too...and you know what, i did get longer run time...

Dude you are a genious! Such a simple solution LOL Works great my cover is perfectly flush now. Will have to find something of similiar thickness to permanently stick to the backside of the battery cover.

Thanks
Works for me, greatly appreciated! Seriously bugged the hell out of me. It's not perfect but it's so much better

The post-it mod rocks! That did kind of annoy me before.

Works almost perfectly for me, what pisses me off about it is that my cover was flush until I removed it to change out my sd card.

wtf made you think of this?
fixed one little annoyance i had with the phone. thanks!

Just be careful that you don't add too much insulation and keep the heat from escaping the battery...

I had to do this with both of my EVOs. Pretty terrible that HTC can't even make a battery cover fit properly on a 'flagship' phone.
