Hi All,
Got an XDA Exec.
My pen has become loose and it keeps following out. Tried the spare pen and still same problem.
Any suggestions for a fix ?
Try wrapping some sticky tape around the shaft of the pen for added thickness.
Another option is to buy the pen/stylus combo for the Universal. My original stylus always seemed loose, but the pen/stylus has always felt more snug. I've heard others talk about the same thing on here, so it seems fairly consistent.
I hardly ever use the pen portion of it, but it's nice having the stylus feel more secure.
Here's the link to the one I bought...

Try putting some bluetack on to the holder.
Just lost mine (it was loose).
I didn't get a spare, so off to ebay.

Is anyone experiencing this problem. I have now lost my fourth stylus. The slightest knock will dislodge the stylus whilst on the belt clip. Because the xda 11 will now swivel around due to the location of the clip, stylus will fall from unit. Anybody got sources for replacements?
I haven`t lost one yet but
I must amid, these things are lovely to eat , as they are so much smaller and tinner than the IPAQ ones. And they also make a lovely toothpic.
And of course of the perfect shape at the top, they are the ultimate tool to clean out your.... :wink:
Same here im on my 3rd. I have purchased more from www.pdaaddons.com
I have had mine for a little over a week and have already lost one stylus.
Looks like I will be reverting to my Rotring 600 Trio as I find the stylus way to tiny in any case.

I tried www.pdaaddons.com but they don't mentiona stylus for the xda2.
Stylus XDA II PLUS pen!
I know ink is soooo passé...
but I got a stylus that has a dead handy ink-pen inside from brando.com!
Refills very cheap too! Very quick delivery from Hong Kong.
Tightening up the Sytlus Holder
Is ther any way to do this?
Kind regards
Alan
I have noticed that the ones o2 uk shops sell are slightly thinner than the original one that came with my XDA2, and keeps slipping out, could try some blue tack to hold it in place!!!
try ebay.
A lot of compnies are offering styli in 3-pack, which gives you 2 spares!

The trick is not to loose it!
Needs to fit better
After losing two styluses, I bought a stylus with a built-in pen at the other end. To keep from losing this stylus, I modified the XDA II case. I cut the transparent hard plastic packaging material of the stylus and attached it using electrical tape to the top of the XDA II leather case. The plastic is now blocking the path of the stylus. There is no way now for the stylus to fall unless I open the case.
I don't like cases so I don't have that option. I was wondering if there was a way to modify the silo or perhaps put some sort of compression spring/washer in the grove at the bottom end of the stylus

Real Filipino inguinity.. hehehehehe... :lol:
Almost lost my sytlus two days ago, its a good thing that I remembered that I tried to get the stylus out while in the car but had to stop because my XDA2 fell in the floor. After 2 hours my friend noticed that the stylus is missing, took me a few minutes before I remembered the attempt that I made while inside the car... hehehe.. almost made me angry at the thought of losing the stylus...
It always happened the same way: I drop a stylus and the tip breaks off.
Every single time.
Sometimes I can be a but clumbsy but I think it is rediculous that it cant handle the fall. Are there styli which arent so very breakable or do I have to make some construction with a line of rope connecting my stylus to the phone or something... doh... any ideas? Styli arent the cheapest things for what you get and I dropped my stylus 5 times now (yes that means I broke 5 of them). I dont want to spend a fortune on finger replacements...
Thanx for any replies
I also have some stylus problems...
my first kill: the big plastic part at the back broke clean off when i dropped it onto the street
I injured one, but it came back to life: the big plastic part at the back came out of the aluminium part of the stylus, i glued it back in and seems fine again.
Today i found bought a dead one...: i bought a set of replacements, and one of them is missing the tip of the stylus...
So i agree, they should have been built a bit better than this...
Hi,
I killed one Blueangel stylus.
The should make full metal ones, lol
Or full plastic ones...
I've never broken my HP H5550 stylus (which is ugly, but indescructible)
hi,
this question might not even have anything to do development. i have been using my exec for a year now, and the problem is that the stylus has become quite loose and doesnt stay in the phone securly, have others had similar problems and if yes what's their solution?
thanks
Same problem, but no solution, im sorry
The inner plastik thingy which holds the stylus is somehow.. overused or rubbed off?
I dont think that there is a solution :/
I had the same problem with my old xda exec.
Stuck sellotape around stylus and that did the trick for me.
Simple but effective. Needed to replace sellotape once a month.
I had the same problem. First I have use scotch tape around the stylus which looks ugly therefore I start use few drops of Super glue and making little swell on the stylus
A little lump of blue tac pushed into the socket which holds the stylus in place when I put it in.

Believe me when I say that the best alround solutution is to by a replacement stylus like this one http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8393.htm
I lost my first stylus about six months ago because it was too loose, there is no way this one will fly out. It fits nice and snug.

I second this! These stylii fit very securely and are MUCH better than the originals that come with the device. I've had 2 because I accidentally dropped one right on the tip (dropped from my hand, it didn't slip out of the Universal) and both were snug.
bend stylus
i tried to paint my last stylus with nail enamel (color metalic gray), didn't work ...so i decided to bend it a little
it worked for me..
tricky question .. how much bend it ?
well.. i didn't clean enamel from stylus, (im lazy...) while i was trying to bend enamel crack ....that was my scale
The little clip which holds the stylus in on mine broke off completely. I opened the case up and glue the clip back in while padding it out with paper at the same time. Holds the stylus rock solid now, much better than it ever did before.
Happy New Year All!
I am buying a Fuze today and am now ordering all my accessories on ebay.
I have a question about the stylus, and I hope you can help:
Do you know if the stylus is magnetic, or if the Fuze is magnetic?
Some ebay sellers mention that the HTC Touch Pro Stylus is "magnetic", but others do not mention this.
If you can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I'd hate to buy one that isn't 'magnetic', and have it slide out.
...Or, is that nonsense, and the magnet is in the device itself.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
I do believe that all touch pros have the magnetic stylus...
Uh...I don't know how to explain it...
Well, this guy who did the review is sort of an idiot about it so don't listen to too much of what he says, just watch what he does. I hope it will explain it better:
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=CZlsH4I43xw
At 2:23 it starts to talk about the stylus. The magnet is there to keep the stylus in the device, since the guy doesn't have a clue.
Oh, and the Touch Pro is essentially the same as the FUZE just a different keyboard layout, I believe.(If you didn't already know that...)

Both are..................................
The stylus is magnetic.
There is also a sensor that can detect stylus removal. Some people have it so it launches "Notes" or whatever else they want.
Removing the stylus turns the screen on...
Really all sorts of stuff. The phone will react differently in some cases vs having it seated. Pretty neat.
Do you know if the stylus is magnetic, or if the Fuze is magnetic?
Initially thought it was a situation where a strong magnet in the stylus bay Magnetized the actual stylus if you pulled it in & out a number of times.
Now tend to accept the idea that there is some magnetic properties to each: just for kicks tried placing an Appropriately Sized nail into the stylus bay, and while it DID seem to be attracted to the bay it certainly did NOT "snap" in the way the Fuze stylus does...
BTW, why do you feel you need an extra Stylus right away? The Fuze shipped with 2, and with the magnetic bay it does seem likely that they would get lost in a hurry....
I concur, the stylus seem to me that the stylus has the stronger magnet of the two, but both are magnetized.
Also like it was mentioned, the systems work quiet well and I don't see how you would loose the two stylus in a short period of time, unless you drop it or something...
i dont know if the phone itself is magnetic but the stylus is for sure..and its quite strong too...i put it on my pc's case and it needed quite some force to remove
i dont know wether this is with all touch pros, but with mine you can screw off the black upper part of the stylus with a longer inner part, then you can see the magnet in the inner part...

After losing my stylus I bought a couple of new one on ebay; but all of those were pieces of ****.
I finally bought the official pack (with 3 stylus, way more expensive) and those are far better. Too bad that HTC didn't bundle a spare stylus with the touch pro as they did with the tytn II =/
I can also confirm that the stylis is magnetic and not the phone.
the stylus conveniently sticks to the side of the phone so you can have an extra hand on the fly
I just got my replacement phone and the stylus barely "clicks" into place and dosent have that "mushy" feeling as you slide it in to place, and it take nothing to jar it loose.
is there a quick fix in this situation?
Two quick fixes 1 you can put a small piece of electrical tape around it depending on how much you need you just can add or subtract or for a more permanent solution bend the stylus ever so slightly to make it fit snugly.
One fix that will cost soem money and take a bit long
Buy a thicker stylus of ebay by thicker i dont mean buy a different phone im saying buy those heavy duty ones they dont say but there fit is a little bit tighter than the normal ones. (my current stylus is a littler skinnier one with a thicker top but i can remove the black top and its a ball point pen
I lost mine and read to avoid the cheapies, so I searched for true OEM replacements. I bought these on eBay and they work very well. There are many offered as generics or clones, only a few have the real ones. oem stylus
there's a piece of plastic that holds it in there. it sits next to the battery.

Thanks, that was driving me nuts too. I just pushed on that piece a bit and now the stylus is back to being nice and secure!
