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))

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

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
Hi all,

Yeah, when I first pulled it out of the box, it took a bit of force to get the cover off the first time. After that, it pops off easily though. Just pull from the notch at the top.
I had this issue yesterday - trying to use the notch at teh top - it works better if you pull from where the volume jogger is.
(At least in my opinion....)
Thanks for the answers!!
I will try to open this Hero again after dinner tonight
Ok, i've managed to open it!! LOL
press ur finger at the top notch and the cover near the volume button will be released
!!!
Thanks
there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.
haha, just messing with you.
what i do to open it every single time is to use the tip of my index finger and place it in the gap on the top and do and inward clenching motion. always works.
Glad you succeeded. I am having a lot of problems trying to get the cover off my iPhone. Can anyone help?

I'd use corosive acid, not too strong and then it should be rather fragile.
On the topic: yea, in the beginning it takes rather some force..
Later when you're flashing/pulling battery a lot it'll pop off TOO easy
the finger on top and pull away from screen works best in my opinion, cracks do sound scary.
When in doubt: use more force(let's not use fire just yet).
A black lettered day in my life ....
Today in the morning while riding on my motorbike on a croweded indian street ...my phone slipped out of my tracks & fell on to the road. It took me about a ~45 secs to realize that my phone is missing from my pocket
By the time i parked my bike & looked back i saw some people frantically waving & shouting trying to stop an oncomming city bus... & then i heard someone say the phone is under the BUS !!!
I ran towards the bus ( which had now come to a stop ) & peeked underneath & to my horror realized that that bus had actually come to a stop on TOP of my phone !!!!! My heart surely missed a beat ..had to ask the driver to back the bus to dislodge the phone from under the tire
Well here are the pics :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYAJBVfe9to
The phone surprisingly is still in working condition despite being compeltely shattered .. i can still make calls, touchscreen is working (even in the broken areas)... GPS, compass, camera all seem to be working fine....i guess had it not been in the leather pouch it would have been much worse
PLease tell me this can be reparied/replaced...also could you please give a cost approximate..
Heres wat i think needs replaching
- Touch Panel
- Glass Front Screen
- Plastisc side body
sorry to see that.
You can get the housing from Dealextreme

True ..its just hard to see ur hard earned money go down the drain like dat !
I too am amazed that the phone still managed to survie this ...i was expecting it find X10 mash inside the leather cover...!! The battery has deep lines engraved on it by the ribs on the back cover .due to the pressure !!!!!
Can't believe it's still working, anyway i guess you wont think about 2.1 update anymore which is, hmmmm, a good thing
That's too bad for you, it's a really expensive phone.
I don't know if you can get the parts apart around your place, but here are the part numbers:
LCD Display: 1223-6264
Windows + Touchscreen: 1223-6264
and finding the housing shouldn't be too hard.
Perhaps you can try contacting SE, but I doubt they'll send you the parts.
Do you really need the touch panel as it is still working? The LCD and touch panel are different parts, you know.
If I were you, I will contact SE and show them what their phone got!.
May be ask them a replacement as a reward from your unbelievable story.
Your phone might worth making a nice ads for them

Ouch, that looks pretty bad, but besides the screen, battery, and a new case, it seems ok. Does everything still work?
I.e. making phone calls, earpiece, microphone, camera, wi-fi, 3G, etc.?

I also did manage to break the touch panel of my White X10 accidentally! And it seems it would cost around 33% of the phones price! I can't post the links yet! But i've just few lines of crack on my touch panel and it my phone doesn't respond to touch anymore! It's unbelievable that your works!
Let me know what SE quoted you for the Touch Panel!
Did you thank the bus?
Now you can get a phone with current tech, like multi touch, better battery, better call volume, etc

wow...this is worse than reading Stephen King's novels. I'm truly sorry about your phone and best of luck with getting your Rachael fixed buddy.
This is weird but pretty sure there's an explanation. The screen on the x10 is touch sensitive so no pressure is needed to move or type things right. It's all in the electrons running through your veins.
I was talking to my gf on speaker phone when I happened to breath on the screen of my phone.
I noticed that my beautiful home widget suddenly moved
and I felt the phone vibrate.
I started to mess around trying to change screens just by breathing on the screen...and..
Bingo I managed to swipe the desktop screen without touching the screen or any buttons.
** I didn't blow on the screen I breathe air, like when you fog up a window, and it has to be very warm LOL.
Someone confirm this please, its kinda cool when you consider that your not really doing nething physical to the device, just air. Why does this happen?

Welcome to the exciting world of Capacitive Touchscreens!
can't seem to do it is it cos I've got a screen protector on?? BTW I have come from the HTC Reboot (aka desire) forum section - so I'm knew to this part of town
You all have way to much time on your hands! I love it! My new pick up like.. hey baby breath on my handy please. No really..
Yeah, it really sucks when I'm crank-calling someone...
I try to breathe heavily into the phone, but it bloody causes me to hang up...
Give me resistive touch screen for crank-calling any day...!
i think i need more oxygen,,, it makes me exhausted!!!!!!!!!
Breath in ,,,, Breath out
mmmmmmmm, i can imagine
imagine the games you can create with this. Got it working on my phone,
The question is.. what were you doing breathing so heavily on the phone to your Mrs ;-)

To the person who has the screen protector it probably does affect the sensitivity but I also have a protector and I can still get it to work, just breeeathe lol.

What I hate about the X10 touch screen is using it or trying to when its raining ...try that ... calls get made when you dont need them widgets get placed when you wasnt even trying letters get typed with raindrops its a pita
Hey
Im wondering if, because of the hinge, can I put the HTC Desire Z in front of me, while I look upwards at the ceiling with me seeing what on the screen...
A (bad ) drawing example is included.
Some sites say that it cant be done but they havent tried it as I havent read anything with personal expirence with this issue and this is pretty important to me. Thanks.
I guess i don't understand. Are you saying that some are saying you shouldn't do this for some reason?
I am able to, but I know others who aren't.
it helps that when I hold my phone to type on the physical keyboard, my index fingers naturally wrap around the screen, which holds it in place... but even if I intentionally move my index fingers so that there is nothing hindering the screen from moving by itself, it does stay up. if I give the phone a slight wiggle, it will pop down though.
again, I believe with these phones it just varies from device to device... the hinge threads I've read have been all over the place.

the accepted fix involves modifying the spring that opens/closes the hinge. there are several threads floating around with the process... note that it does void your warranty, however (you have to partially disassemble the phone). for me, the hinge hasn't been a huge nuisance anyway. yeah, it's loose... so what? you learn and adapt your "methods" to work around it as you use the phone. it has never caused a serious problem for me.
I would like to add that over time I have noticed it does loosen (noticably, but not so much that it has been a problem for me) more and more.. which makes sense because the spring is being compressed and relieved repeatedly.

Obviously, your needs arent the same as mine. You say "so what?" if the screen closes and Id like it to stay open.
Could you please post some links to those threads? Id like to see if the process is difficult.
Thanks
I rarely use the phone laying on my back, but when I do I move my hands a little bit higher on the keyboard and push my index fingers inwards toward each other slightly so that they are touching the device where the screen meets the keyboard. Holds it in place just fine, no need to modify the springs.

I think you misunderstood (I didn't word that very well - apologies). I'm not saying it's not an issue, it is an issue.
but, as I and a couple others have posted here, there is a remedy: positioning your index fingers such that they hold the screen if you are one of the unlucky ones who gets a hinge that is so sloppy that it falls at whim. on my G2, I don't even have to do this, but I do it naturally so it's added security that the screen isn't going to slam shut.
there's no such thing as a perfect phone. but as far as android phones with keyboards go, you're not going to do much better than the DZ/G2 at this point.. that is a fact.
here's a link to the best hinge fix thread I've gone through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863919
if you search "hinge" in the main G2/DZ subforum, you'll get a plethora of thread matches.

Intresting. Looks a bit complicated though but I guess Ill have to do it if I want to use the phone correctly the way I wanted.
Thank you
Just as a update: I can use my phone perfectly without applying any fix about using it for about 3-4 months. There is no issue at all.
