Hello.
I would like to ask a question to everyone who has the same experience.
In my recently bought Imate JasJar, some buttons(4-5 of them) do a very unpleasant creacking noise, while the others are virtually silent when pressed.
Should i worry that i have a defective unit(missalligned keyboard) that could lead to future button failure or just sit down and relax?
Thank you!

Interesting - i have an issue with the green/red phone keys - they seem to have the ability to double click - although no function can be assigned to it.

In my case, all the buttons work right!
But some of them do an unpleasant noise when pressed.
Is this normal?
solution
OK, I think the screws in the back are loose, take your stylus out and gently press where the stylu was from the bacl of the cover toward the keybaord and it should creak. I thing it is due to loose screws on the universal
If i am doing right,i see no creak on the pressure there!
But if this is the case, can i do something myself as to fix it?
Thanks!

There are a few things I'd change about the ergonomics of the Universal. I'm right-handed so I hold the thing in my left hand and operate with my right. Before this I had an XDA2.
- on/off switch should be on the right-hand side of the case, under the 'Enter' key and should be easier to find without looking (i.e. by feel only). In portrait mode it should be at the top of the machine
- the pen should come out of the case in the same location as it does for the XDA2, i.e. under the '->' key on the keyboard. In portrait mode I have to reach over the top of the Exec and fumble the pen out from the left side of the machine
- the phone answer/end buttons on the hinge are exactly where my thumb is located when I hold the phone while talking in portrait mode (I listen through my left ear), so I often press them by accident while talking. They should be at the opposite end of the hinge IMHO and they should light up when a call comes in
- camera lens is at the wrong end of the machine: in tablet mode but landscape (which is the only orientation the camera seems to allow :roll: :?: ) I hold the Exec with my left hand and press the shutter button with my right and in this position my left-hand fingers often obscure the lens. If the lens was at the SD-card end of the case I could hold the Exec comfortably in my left hand without obscuring the lens
I love this machine but I'm curious to know whether I'm the only one who finds it slightly awkward to use in some circumstances. Maybe because of the dual format (tablet/laptop) it'd be impossible to get perfect, but the above changes would help me a lot.
Kind of agree, but I'll adapt.
The other niggle - my lovely Proporta case, complete with belt clip - you leave the device in the case to use it. Perfect! Except the toggle for the belt clip is, of course, on the previously "flat" camera side, so I can no longer sit the thing on a desk to type without first unscrewing (and probably losing) the belt clip toggle...
Pah.
It seems that space issues dictate where the pen went.
Infact, if you look the end curves to go above the usb socket!
I used to laugh at the Magician owners when I had XDAII, i had a real stylus and they had a stubby little square thing.
Bah, i feel foolish now.
On the positive side though, just how many speakers does this thing have? I've counted four so far...
Two on the side edge (stereo), plus one above the screen in tablet mode, and then another one in the plain side where the holes are (above the Enter key when the clamshell is closed).
Just answered a phone call with the case closed and the sound was coming from those holes. So we can answer it both when the clamshell is closed and when it's in tablet mode. Awesome! No more dirty screen!
Does it automatically answer the phone if you open the clamshell to view the screen when it rings? Haven't tried this yet.

the caller detials are nicer in wide and the pic is bigger im sure
Front aluminum sheet!!
Has anyone encountered the same?! I have used the phone with closed clamshell and many times when my sideburners got stuck in between the slight attachement edge of the metal sheet on the clamshel!
I thought it is inconvenient and now I believe it is so! The metal sheet is not properly glued to the phone body!!
Poor craftwork

Hehehe :lol:
It sounds funny, but I guess (like the points I made in my original post) it's a small irritation for you. Wonder whether they have bearded testers in the HTC factories...

Although it is funny but way too serious :wink:
Yet your suggestion for beard testers is recommended
I have X1 for 5 day now and seem to have no problem with it. However, today I noticed that if I turn the phone upside down (for example, you hold your phone while you in bed.) and touch the middle button (the joystick) it seem to loose a little when I touched
It's normal? Please confirm me cause I'm still in 1 week return if I found problem.
Thank you in advence.
My optical mouse/button is loose too. If I shake the phone it rattles. I would send it back, but I think I'll wait until supplies stabilize...lol.
Thank you very much for confirm it, However it happen to everyone's phone? or just a few case?
if Anyone have "optical mouse/button" stay fit and not loose. Please confirm us too
No problem on mine. My X1 is 08W45.
desman, you man your button is fit not loose?
Yes, I put it upside down and don't feel any loose.
Thank you desman, I think tomorrow I will have to go to Service center to change it.
Greetings All,
this is my first windows mobile device ever (although i'm a .Net Developer)
i noticed one strange thing in my X1, whenever i shake the mobile i hear a sound like there is something inside the device (upper side) moving freely!
does anyone else have the same thing? or should i return the device for replacement?
Also mine!
And also other three device that I check.
So I think it's normal.
Herard that as well...but it was reportet only if you hold your X1 vlosely to your ear...
What you hear might be the vibrator.
All the X1's have it, I was also worried when I received mine and made a thread. Haven't found/spoke to one person who hasn't got it yet. One person rang them up and asked if it was supposed to be like that and was told it is, but still no idea why.
As previously said it could be the vibrator.
Well, ok then! but i wonder where it's comming from.
i will check it out when i open the device. but i don't want to void my warranty so soon
I think it's the optical joystick. Hold the phone upside down and listen.
The vibrator is placed in the opposite corner.
Hi.
I confirm, on mine, the sound comes from the optical joystick.
mine has it too, but it's not the optical joystick.
maybe an accelerometer?
no accelerometer. everyone has it i think. no need to worry.
nope, not the optical joystick.
im not worried about it any more.
I guess no one should be. the good thing is that time will reveal the truth about this.
if I came to know anything about this I will immediately post it here.
looooooooool
your "scary" sounds is from volume keys and camera button Take in hand blocking them and you can't ear anything (at least, on my device )
no camera or volume keys. It is from inside.
Anyway, it sounds like an orientation sensor, not necessarily an accelerometer, but who knows?
HTC did it, so it might be there waiting to be activated from drivers )))
Maybe SE has an Xmas surprise for us )))
I find it slightly irritating, as when I have the phone in a car holder it vibrates and makes an annoying rattling sound. I daren't open the phone up to find it, so I guess I'll just have to be irritated...

yeah, that's what I think it is.
all gadgets I have that do a similar sound, have a g-sensor inside...
let's hope the update comes soon, as we are with a really "beta" firmware currently :_>
No boy.
It's a simple noise. If you press the upper and bottom part (display and keyb) you can hear no sound.

i tried everything, but the sound didn't go away, until i saw your post!
yes, it's not there anymore!!!! but when you stop pressing, it comes back!
Yes, mine is exactly the same Got to be from the slider mechanism. Anyone got some pictures of it?
No need to worry....the first day i when i recived my x1 i also shaked it the whole day. But then I read in a german forum that this is the gearwheel of the slider...everyone in that forum also said that he had that ticking noise.
BUT
I have another problem with the slider.When I use the touchscreen (especially in the right upper corner) the screen drawback a bit and its like pushing a button because when i release the pressure it makes a little tick. i think this has to do with the mounting of the slider.
Greetings

was at the service centre .. for other issues too.. they told me the rattle function is just the loose keys.. i got owned ! lol

Thanks very much to mikechannon once again.
Hi, seems I'm asking for a bit of help lately
Anyway on my qwerty keypad the letters U and O have to be pressed harder than all the others otherwise they won't register, I mean hard enough to slow down my typing quite a bit. I have pulled the phone apart many times and played with the keyboard position, put bits of paper in between the membrane and pop buttons etc.
When I first opened it up I noticed that the keyboard PCB was sitting above the hook looking piece of plastic holding it down and the board had been ever so slightly warped from this, I have since rectified this but the keys still need pressing hard.
Any ideas? Anyone with a similar problem?
EDIT: This is the Hermes I got from ebay second hand BTW.

Hello,
I bought yesterday a german Dell Venue Pro 16GB and I am not sure if it is already defective.
I read everywhere (also in the manual) that uit has two speakers at the bottom of the phone.
But i get sound only from the right hole. If i put my finger on the right hole at the bottom, the volume decreases, if i put my finger on the left hole - nothing happens. And I do not know if it is defective or not?! Can anyone tell me if the sound should come out of both "holes"?
And I came from the HD7. The touchscreen-Buttons did work much better with my HD7. I have to press very hard the Windows Button to get it work. Is that normal?
sorry for my bad english - typos are designed and copyright by me ;-)
Thanks for Help!
BTW: nice phone - much better processed than the HD7!! and FW 212
Only one speaker on the DVP although there are two grill for it on the bottom of the phone. As far as the windows button, I've not had any issues with mine on the phones I've had.
Are you pressing the button straight on or kind of hitting it at the top of sides of the lit portion?

To elaborate, the right grill is for the speaker, the left is the mic.
As far as the buttons, I would just make sure that you don't have your hand covering any of the other three buttons while trying to hit the Windows. Other than that, I dunno.
Thanks for response.
It really has only one speaker even though the online Dell manual told me it has two ;-)
The button was a hardware issue. I went to my dealer and got a new one with working button - and only one speaker, too.
Thanks anyhow!
