Are there any specifc tools I will need. Please help with this, as it is getting to be veryloose and annoying.
Thanks in advance
Is it loose when twisting (IE rotating the screen 180 degrees) or is it loose when flipping the device open...
For twisting, the base (the area you have in blue, on the keyboard) is magnetic.
It is possible that maybe this has lost some of its magnetism ?????
Test it out with a fridge magnet to see if has a good magnetic field...
If you are talking baout the flip, there are these metal pins located inside the 2 hinges on the keyboard... (to the left and right of the blue area).
It is possible that the plastic has worn out, and these metal pins have a lot of play, allowing them to move very easily...
If this is the case, then you could always try and create more friction, within the hinges....
The best way to get to the part is to disassemble the main unit(not the LCD screen part)...
To do that, you are going to need a very tiny screwdriver, and a pair of tweezers....
Have a hunt around for the Universal Service Manual... That describes disassembly and re-assembler much more elequently than I ever could...
(If you cant find it. PM me with an email address.. And I will sort something out for you...)

Guys I have a problem with my keyboard I hope its a simple fix. Whenever I press some of the keys it does not respond sometimes and sometimes with one press the letter gets duplicated. Sometimes I have to press the key harder than usual to get the letter to show up.
Any easy fix for this?
Can anyone comment on this ?
This is not a straightforward fix if it is a hardware problem. First ensure the issues are not due to laggy behaviour due to software issues. Pretty easily ruled out if the issue is only with some letter keys and the device is generally lag free otherwise.
Assuming it is a hardware issue (and it's been reported a few times) then you either have the keyboard replaced or face an almost complete dismantle in order to clean the metal disc contacts on the keyboard. (Not what HTC would think of as a servicable component. See here:
The front keys you press are just a plastic layer not connected as such to the actual keyboard

If oxidisation has occured impairing the contact, you might need a little more than just an alcohol based wipe - possibly a mild abrasive on both the board contacts and the metal discs.
Doing this, is of course utterly warranty voiding! and could take you a loooong time with assembling and dis-assembling until you were happy!

Cool, thanks. Replacement keyboards are cheap on eBay - if it's gotta come apart anyway, I guess that's the way to go !
My less than 4 month old unit experienced the white screen syndrome (blank white screen with some occasional orange lines)
the unit has been opened by a technician and he is pointing the problem to FLEX cable but they dont have much experience repairing HTCs, only NOKIAs.
Biggest problem is the flex cable cost like US$100-150 on ebay now.. after reading thru XDA-Devs, i noticed some indication of LCD problems..
can anyone give me insight if this is more of a LCD problem or FLEX problem.. some symtoms includes:
GREEN ON light on top is active, but CALL D Pad and HANG UP buttons are not lighting up and fuctioning.. the unit still starts Windows Mobile and still beeps and buzzs without any problems..
Heres the photo of the unit.. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.. thanks!

There are existing threads on this, here for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
Very briefly on this complex issue:
1
Not likely to be the LCD
2
Could be the flex cable between screen and D-Pad
3
Can be the actual connector not seated well at the D-Pad. It has two screws (tiny) and MUST be seated absolutely flat and must be neither loose nor over tightened.
4
It can also be components on the D/Pad board that are faulty
5
Recent reports also suggest that in some cases it may be faulty capacitors on M/Board.
So NOT an easy one to track down.
Closing this thread as threads exist - but don't expect a definitive answer - some suggestions here and there MIGHT work for you.

I just got a Titan off of ebay which they say has a slightly loose keyboard. Any ideas or tips on fixing this. I do not know if this is a common issue with the Titan and I have not received the phone yet.
Physically the Titan is very similar to the TyTn. The TyTn was renowned for the keyboard becoming loose. It can be fixed quite easily by slightly increasing the indents on the two keyboard runners. However, you do have to do quite a major disassembly of the phone.
Here are a couple of threads that talked about the issue on the TyTn:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298784
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286643
PM me if the threads do not make sense. Basically you slightly increase the indents by tapping on them with a flat blade screwdriver and a light weight hammer.

See that little indent near the end? The slider runs over that to lock shut or open. There is an indent at either end of the runner and there are 2 runners = 4 indents (two for the lock open position and two for the lock closed position of the keyboard)
DON'T over do it or the runners will click so firmly into place you may find the keyboard very stiff to click open and closed!!!. Test them as you tap. (assuming you go ahead)

all I had to do was open up the titan and tighten the four screws that hold the sliders on.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are correct of course. My solution above is based on the assumption that the sliders are loose even with the screws tightened.
So of course, if you are doing it yourself, check the screws are tight as your first plan of attack.

I dropped my phone and destroyed the screen a few weeks ago. Fortunately I was insured, they agreed to fix it and I got it back inside 10 days or so. Problem, the damn screen was loose at the top corner - you could fit a fingernail in easy. So, more than a bit annoyed I called them up and they apologised, said they'll pay for the postage and they'd sort it out.
Sent it back and they just returned it with the same damn problem! I can lift half the screen out of the case if I pry my fingernail under the (already loose) top edge - see attached photo. You can push it back in place, everything works fine but it works loose if worn in a pocket like normal.
Clearly their engineers are incompetent and I don't know if I can be bothered to return it AGAIN to find most likely the same problem repeated. Looking at the inside it seems that it's just a bad glue job - I can see sticky stuff that's meant to be holding it in place. :silly:
My question is - could I just reglue the screen in there? Does anyone know what kind of glue to use?
If it's covered by insurance get them to fix the problem at their expense as if you glue it yourself you would render insurance invalid if any other problem happened they wouldn't fix it as it would be voided because you glued it yourself
*Sigh* - yeah like I said - send it back a 3RD TIME? I really think they have trained chimps doing the repair work.

I have Shield TV 2017 16GB. i have been fix lag with hardware fix. now i can use it about ~5.4m without problem, faster response.
i use antenna GPRS but better with Wifi antenna (because shield tv use bluetooth 2.4Ghz).
here english instruction of member "iR3M" in shield tv forum
"
Here a quick recap of all steps done and things used:
- very small cross tip screwdriver, to open the 2 screws left and right at the back
- a nylon pry tool, to open the box, without scratching or cracking it, you need to insert it in the back top- left, center and right, afterwards you can slide the top cover away
- a small knife, I used a scalpel to carefully scratch the board, where the antenna needs to solder
- a little pice of copper or brass wire, which on one end you need to rasp with an file
- solder iron, to solder and finally a hot glue pistol, to fix the antenna inside of the case
I've fixed the antenna first to the case with hot glue and solder it afterwards, this way its much easier.
