hehe maybe it´s just me.. quite funny...
When I first got my 9100 I was fast tired os the little pencil. I compared it to s100´s that´s much longer....
Hehe.. for about five minutes ago, I had the pencil in my month as always.
And.. swish.. then I just relized that u could drag out the pencil to a bigger one.. hahha (after 1 month))
now I really like it.. hehe..
Just me that missed this?

Doesn't your stylus clip into place and when you pull it out, it always extends before it unclips when you pull it?! Mine does anyway?

Mine does the same

The stylus also arrives extended in the packaging.
I've just opened a new one this morning.
Does the same on both my imate kjam and mda vario variant.
You get used to it though and you know it is locked in at lesat.

Nope - thought I'd lost mine yesterday and the one that was unopened was shrunk down. I guess this has been a comon comment from customers and as such they have changed the way they do it...
Still it does help to RTFM in the first place

Replacement Stylus
Hi,
A mate of mine has just asked me where he can get a "real" replacement stylus - he has already lost one.... I have seen loads on ebay but these are just stylus replacements and probably don't fit into the device...
Semsons offers "real" replacement styli.
Here's another useless fact:
If you happen to have a brain fart and put your stylus in backwards (on the 8125 form factor), that could be what the indentation around the tip is for. Just use your nail and pull it out.
If that's why that groove is there then I have to admit it was pretty thoughtful of the engineers.
I have noticed that the best stylus is an extra long golf tee. It has a good point, it has enough friction with the tip, it is long enough to hold well, and you can store it in the hole on the wizard.
hmmm, i figured that the stylus locked in the body with the divet at the end... anyone want to test out the theory? :lol:
Well I have personally given mine up for a golf club. I find that in addition to being able to use my device from quite a distance I could also swing at it when it pisses me off

Haha...what a joke
No men...when I opened the box of my Wizard for the 1st time, immediately saw the "mini-stylus" and thought...WTF is this for tiny stylus, it just gotta be one that can be extended otherwise it really is ****ing crap
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.

Hmm, could be worth testing not-dogs, if its the protein that makes the real ones work then they should work just as well as the real thing!
Edit - *ponders* I bet theres a niche market for vegetarian alternatives to meat stylii, , , *hmmmm*
i just tested a chunk of beef from my pasty (really!!!) and it flippin worked!
did leave a bit of a greasy smear on the screen. this idea needs some tweaking

Do you use a meat stylus to engage in textual intercourse?
I ventured out last night and it was cold, cold, cold!
I had two pairs of gloves on and my phone rang.
I wasnt going to take them of so I slide unlocked and answered with my nose!!!!!!!!!!!

Korean sausages (and Japanese ones) are wrapped in plastic. They are not greasy at all. You'll need to unwrap it before you can eat it. It is a popular snack for kids.

But it won't work when they're not unwrapped, right?
I can't believe we're actually discussing the use of sausages as a stylus replacement on two pages now...

Who is the idiot designer who thought it would be a good idea to design it so it wobbles from side to side when trying to use it on a flat surface....... really..... really HTC ?

I'm guessing you do not want to use a case? I'm using the Capdase Alumor Case and it's great and the phone doesn't wobble if I put it down to type on it.
Hello guys, good night.....

the camera design really suxx ;(
but hey.. i found out that the lens ins under the main cover, and that thingy wich makes our device wobble around is just a protection.. is this possible? so we could probably just crack it away.. but im too scared to do it :333
If i put mine down. I put it on top of the leather case it came with and it doesn't wobble when used!

Had an extra red back cover. Decided to take the risk and see if I could remove the logos. Used 5000 grit wet sand paper (used for headlights) and a lot of patience. And wallah no logo. I made sure to go real light on it so I don't affect the soft touch coating. Turned out way better than I expected. I thought there would actually be some marks left or a change in the texture. But nope, looks and feels the same just no logo
Nice job! Looks great! :good:
That's what I like about the ballistic nylon. No Verizon logos.
Well done. :good:
I can't stand how far Verizon goes with slapping their logo all over. Especially the poor phones that suffer the fate of a Verizon logo under the display.
I saw someone that suggested using clear tape and granulated sugar to remove logos, never tried it, but seems like it could work.

Interesting. Can you elaborate a little? Do you just put the sugar on it and tape it on? And he eats the laser etching away? Lol or do you treat it more like a sandpaper.
Looked like he used it as sandpaper. Sugar was aggressive enough to remove the painted logo, but not harsh enough to damage the plastic.
I don't understand why the Logo is so maddening to some people.
I don't have a logo (Ballistic) but I did on my last phone. Never bothered me.

It bothers people because of bad placement and also if u bought the phone out right you should have say on what is on it or not. verizon being the way they are is the reason so many are leaving to go to another provider.

This is my personally reason. Let's say you bought a BMW m5. So you expect the BMW logo. You expect the m5 logo. Now imagine, smack dab in the center of your hood is the dealership you bought the car from logo. Verizon is the dealer. They provide a service I pay for. I don't feel they have the right to advertise on something they didn't build.
And besides all that..I think it looks cleaner.

Hey everyone.. Just stopping in with a quick question. Have been searching for an answer and found this discussion...
I have the Turbo BN 32GB and it has the VZW logo directly above the metal Droid logo on the back.
I have seen quite a few other BN versions without the VZW logo so I'm wondering how I go about removing it?
It appears to be applied to the BN similar to the way an iron-on patch is applied to a shirt. I would say it is certainly removable, just no idea how to attack this project. I obviously do not want to damage the nylon in the process.
The main reasons I am wanting to remove it are I believe the BN backing looks phenomenal without it and I am using a PureGear clear case which puts the BN on prominent and permanent display. Would look so much more slick without the VZW sticker plastered on the back. (Tried including a picture but that is a no-go)
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
