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....
UP!....pls.....anyone?

@ 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:

Hi,
I know I'm a n00b, and I just got my 8525 a couple weeks ago. I've enjoyed getting Custel's ROM on my phone and finally finding some decent cases (hard rubber and krussel from extremepda.com) and screen protectors (pocketpctechs.com)
I do have a question though, how easy should the keyboard slide out? I noticed that mine comes out fairly easily with little effort. It doesn't come out with gravity alone, but little effort is required on my part at all. Is this normal, or should I try and exchange it at the cingular store before my 30 days expires?
If this is normal that cool, I just want to make sure nothing is wrong.
Thanks everyone!

It is a reasonably common problem. I would certainly go for an exchange if possible. There is a fix available but it involves dismantling and will void your warranty.
See my site in signature link for details, but go for the exchange. It should click into position fairly firmly at both top and bottom.
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply! I guess my accompanying question is if this is a defect with certain units, or if it is just something that happens (ie mechanism just gets loose over time) if it just starts to happen and needs to be tweaked I'm ok with that, but if it is a defective unit and others don't have the issue at all then I'll take it back.
Thanks again!

Well if you see my site in my signature you'll see that it is a problem related to the indents at each end of the runners/sliders being too shallowly embossed in the metal to provide a large enough bump for the sliding part to click over. In theory they might become loose over time, but my feeling is that folks with problems have ones that have always been pretty loose. Having increased the indents mine have retained a very firm click ever since, so I don't think it's a problem of soft/poor quality metal. Mine were so bad that just holding the phone to take a call would open the keyboard and it always opened getting it out of the holster. Otherwise my TyTn was perfect so I chose to void the warranty and fix the problem myself.
Edit some are better than others from the start (to answer your question!!)
Mike
Thanks Mike! I ended up trying to take it back to Cingular, and tried some of the other ones and they were actually worse than mine. I'm probably just a little picky. If it gets real bad I'll definitely go through your guide!
Dear almighty XDA members,
I had my Nexus One on the third day after it was released. It had the touchscreen problem (sometimes it was not accurate at all. when you touched "q", it gave you a "z" =.=;; ). and now I have sent it back for a refund. However, I REALLY,REALLY love this phone. Esp when I see that the Desire rom is coming to N1, and the Flash as well.
Therefore, I am thinking of ordering a new one. Before I hit the button, for those who have got their new nexus one recently, can you tell me if the touchscreen is behaving well of those from the NEW batch? Is it true that the new batch doesn't have this issue now?
I really want your advice. Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem the first few days that I had my phone. it took me over a few days to realize that the calibration problem you speak of was because the fat of my palm was (barely) touching the screen at some edge of the screen. I think its. because the phone is so thin.
My solution was to order a $10 soft-rubber case for the phone and 99% of the problem has gone away.
Give it another try, in my opinion...but careful, Google won't be too inclined to honor a second return.
@ralexand thanks for the rubber trick
If I finally hit the button, the first thing i will do is to give it rubber care

As my Father once said, "yeah, ya better put a rubber on... "
Yeah, I was playing a bejeweled knockoff today (forget the name,) but I would constantly wonder why the damn thing wouldn't register my taps, and then the search box came up. Fatty mc fat hands here was holding it wrong :-/. As long as you're aware that the soft buttons are a bit higher than they should be and you watch your palm, you'll be ok.
Splodge, was the only way I could describe it...take a look at the attached photo.
I'm certain I have seen someone else post this before.
It just happened randomly! Was fine all day yesterday, then picked my phone up to answer it last night, and after the phone call had ended I saw this on the screen...
Touch screen still works, and you can still see underneath it, its less visible when the back light is on. Of course when it's off, you can see the effect it has!
So...what is it? Easily fixed or what?
Like I said, I'm sure I have seen this posted by someone else before...
Hehe... nice one. It will most likely disappear if you gently pull the glass with a suction cup.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Suction cup thing works but then it comes back.
HTC said it would be out of warrenty :S and they would have to look at it first.
O2 however, said if its in warrenty (which it is) then they will get it repaired and supply a courtesy handset while they have it.
i had one the same size it has slowly gone to half the size 5 pence piece but o2 said its not under warrenty and i work for a major phone retailer and my repairs guy said it may so im very unsure wuld have re flash it as its hspl grrr

interesting, well I'm taking it to the O2 store next week, so will see what they say, will keep the email i had off them saying they will as backup!
It has reduced in size, but still has the rainbow pattern in the middle.
I had a similar screen problem however it didnt look anywhere near as bad as yours. Mine had slight discolouration mostly noticable on white backgrounds. Pressing the screen a little bit harder than normal created the sort of effect you get when pressing the screen of a calculator (dont know what to call it) I took mine to the o2 shop with a different fault and also mentioned this fault. I got it back 6 days later but they hadnt fixed the screen problem. I sent it off again then and there and 6 days later i got a new phone.
O2 now have my HD2
Been given a nasty old Nokia phone as a temp...forgot how small some screens are...lol
should take 7-10 days they said...so fingers crossed...
Any way of fixing this problem without sending it back as this has happened to my cousins HTC HD2, kind of glad it didn't happen to mine lol, any quick fixes to know about?
I've had the same with my HD2.
They fixed it for me (new screen)

Was actually thinking about this, then tried to figure out how it happened, he goes it was one of two things, since he considers himself a bit of a playboy lol, he tells this tale of a girl sitting in his lap and it happened or could have been wetness (kind of goes hand in hand don't you think lol).. how does this problem usually occur?

Well anyway! For me it was very random. The phone was fine all day at work, I had a phone call in the evening, after the phone call I just looked at my phone, and there it was...
Some people have said its caused my the heat of the battery and signal, dunno.
Its a very thin space between the battery and the back of the screen, so maybe thats true.
I can't see how over pressure can cause it as its a glass screen, and glass doesn't bend like plastic.
I had a smaller of these newton rings at the center. Much smaller than yours.
Suddenly one day it disappeared.
It was during summer and I thought it was probably because of the heat.

Interesting, he did always complain about his battery overheating or when on a phone call, the phone temperature increases rapidly, guess that was the cause, at least I get to tell him some good news, he can go to spearmint rhino as much as he wants lol

Hasn't arrived at the store yet, waiting for a phone call, fingers crossed for today! that would be exactly a week.
Hope its fixed soon for you, its interesting about the battery and heat, my hd2 gets warm below the battery and that is also below the main area your problem is on, I suspect its down to a screen fault myself.

Hopefully because I know how it feels like to be without the beloved HD2, I had to last two weeks, no matter what phone you use as a substitute, for some reason, it just cannot compare!
Hi people,
I have a problem with my 2 week old Galaxy SII.
The day before yesterday rain got me outside and my SGS2 got a little moisted.
It was in a gel skin but some water got under the battery cover just on egdes.
The phone looks as new and works perfectly, despite today my volume rocker got crazy. It only increases the volume, but doesn't work opposite way. It "clicks" but doesn't do anything. -,-
Anyone had the same problem?

make sure there is no water inside(around the corners)
Remove the battery use a hair dryer around the phone with low power dont take it too close to the phone..Just do it around the corners for 3 to 5 min and then start the phone see if the key works..
The above experiment is totally un-tested and you are responsible for your own actions..
thanks, but didn't worked

well, it costs 100% surely if you say you caused it thats why i said it "just stopped working" evil twisted truth. remember that i didn't say this online
oh, just to make sure, unroot if rooted.
Mine isn't rooted and I didn't said no one it got (a bit) wet ;P just you know that.
I just asked my dealer "How come an 2 week old phone could failed?"
But really, all of my old phones got wet by a rain, few of them were in worse situations and they worked well . I even sinked my Nokia in puddle and it was fine.
btw. Did your phone also got wet? Or it just decided to stop working properly?

Hi All,
I love my Arc S. Love it. I'm even more careful with this phone than I usually am.
Unfortunately, my Arc S was knocked out of my hand over the weekend and fell on the floor. The back cover came off and battery fell out. In the rain!
Fortunately, the phone is almost perfectly fine - except the Up Volume button virtually no longer works properly. It takes a very, very hard press to respond and seems to be rapidly degarding to the point where it won't work at all.
Can anyone recommend a way I can get this fixed reliably and economically? I really don't like the idea of sending my phone away, but I like the idea of it not working properly even less. I can attempt a self-repair too if feasible.
I'm based in London, UK.
With thanks,
schnide
just set it to high and leave it? . Then if required you can change it via settings. You can also buy buttons off ebay.

That's fine for call volume, not so fine for media volume which can need changing constantly.
And buying new buttons might not solve the problem - the physical button looks fine apart from tiny cosmetic damage.
I would really appreciate an answer from someone with expertise on the internals of the Arc S to see if this can be fixed

It's not a bad idea I suppose, but I can't help feeling that'll be the most expensive way of doing it and I don't know what their repair quality is like.
I bought a French unit (from a UK company) although I imagine it has a European warranty. Thing is, the unit was damaged by 'myself' and hasn't just turned faulty on its own.

It you flash the official ICS rom onto your handset then you gain the ability to move the volume slider on the phone screen up and down. This works for media volume and call volume.
There also might be an app on the market to do this - have a look there
also if there are no scraches you could possible send it into Sony and say that it stopped working on its own accord

Thanks for this, I'll bear it in mind but would like to have the hardware side working as that's what it's meant to do.
Unfortuantely there is minor cosmetic damage on the volume button in the form of a small scratch/dent.
ive seen a site before that sells lots of different ribbosn for arc. Search it up on google I think it cost around £7 or £8

Tried 'Sony Ercisson Arc S Ribbon' and 'Sony Ercisson Arc S Ribbon Replacement' but no joy - any other search term ideas?
I appreciate your help by the way, so thank you.
just tried looking and cant find it anymore. Only ones I can find are keypad, and camera buttons.
Also if youre saying it works when pushing hard maybe its cause the plastic behind it snapped off therefore you must push very hard in order for it to catch against something. I think its best to open the phone and have a look.

Man they are gonna repair it even if you were the one responsible for the damage.. And repairs can be done all ovr the globe. They are just going to charge you for the repair.. I think its a lot better idea than banging your head..
