Hi
I just got my Tmobile Wing as a replacement for my Dopod D810 (Trinity), it's lovely and the battery life is great! However, I'm just wondering if it's just me or all the Herald variants, I'm quite annoyed but its semi-automatic spring driven keyboard and looks like mine wiggles a bit and slightly elevated on the keyboard itself (when not slided out), i found it too annoying when i tap my fingers on the screen like when i'm using Phonepad and i can barely feel it wiggles and it knocks the front panel housing (i don't what should be the term) to the keyboard panel.
Any one with the same case?
I would be very thankful if you happen to know any fix and post it here.
Thanks!

I see other people have posted the problem with the stylus coming loose over time.
I also noticed today that the paint inside the ie button and to a certain extent the messaging button (the buttons above the screen) has been removed, it seems due to taking the device out of the holder all the time.
Anyone else think this is realy poor

yes i too think its a little lack-lustre.
the internet and messaging buttons logo's have both lost 90% of their paintwork.
i think it wont be too long until my keyboard becomes a little too easy to open. after all its only two little plastic notches which cause it to "snap in and out" once they have worn down a little then its gunna get ugly

Is that true ? I am going to buy one, you talkng about Qtek9100 or K-Jam or both???
i have kjam, but both are the same in terms of build
heres a cross section of the slider in action... when you pull it out the little notch "snaps" into the recess.. and the same when you close.
seeings as its just plastic i have a feeling that that will eventually wear down with use. i already think its become looser than it used to be from only having it a month
I have the qtek 9100 and do not have any oif the problems described above .... yet!!

Hello everyone,
I have a Jasjar but need a smaller second phone. To me the Wizard seems ideal but I am put off by one thing. I have heard that the keyboard slider mechanism is really poor quality and becomes loose with a few days of use. I kind of tend to believe this as I already have the experience of the I-Mate pda2k. In the eight months that I had the pda2k the keyboard had become so loose that if I held it vertically from the sceen side the keyboard would slide open of its own weight.
I shall be extremely obliged if you people can share your experiences and views regarding the robustness of the slider mechanism.
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Keyboard's no problem, but mind the stylus.
I've owned my K-Jam for four months now and pretty much always use the keyboard for texting etc. I've not noticed it loosening at all, it merely seems slightly smoother sliding since fresh out of the box. I've just tried to get the keyboard to slide out of it's own accord by shaking the unit - still no problems.
That said, you should be aware that there are problems with the stylus silo - see this thread for further details http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31755&highlight=

I just got swap´ed my TyTN because of problems with the QWERTY keyboard. When you slide the keyboard in and out there is a little "click" lock in both ends, but my new TyTN feels a little loose in this lock compared to the first one. It was much more tight. Do any of you have the same problem?
My second one feels looser than my first one, too. I wonder if this a hardward change related to the screen alignment problem... hmm...
There are two detents on the HT630 series keyboard, one on each side. This compared to the single right side detent on older serial numbers. I believe this is because HTC reworked the keyboard to eliminate the bad key issues which plagued older TyTNs.
Wow, I'm impressed with your extreme attention to detail!!!
My second one is also has much more play in the closed position.
My second one also has a completely different touch screen. It no longer has a plastic film over the screen. It has a much better feel when using the stylus.
Hi,
I am just checking on my new Softbank Hermes
Just noticed that the keys the farthest right of the keyboard are little bit deeper (or sunk) that the ones on the left...but they response perfectly.
Are your unit the same ?
Thanks
anyone ? I have 3 days for exchange ..
I have an HTC Tytn and my keyboard is not like that.
My T key has a big oval of paint scraped off of it, and the backlight shows through, seems the center of my keyboard had a hump in it.
If you can exchange it, I likely would.

Internally the Hermes has on one side of the keyboard (can't remember if this is shown on the wiki pictures) a foam rubber block running from the qwerty row down to the spacebar row. At the opposite end this is absent as internal parts make up the gap. It does not surprise me that there is some uneven-ness in external appearance though this should be very minimal. If your keyboard works perfectly I'd hang onto it given numerous reported problems with unresponsiveness of keys.
My keyboard if anything is a fraction higher in central area but not so high it scrapes on screen assembly.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the tip...
Browsing from the pics, youre right, the left side has this foam block and the other side has none. That's why the keyboard is high on the left side and slowly sinking going to the right...(around half of millimeter..)
My unit is working perfectly, and I dont want to change it if the unit would be the same.... it might be the design ,...

Quite right would be a gamble. Was just about to guide you to pictures just as you replied saying you'd seen them!!
Mike
Dont know why you have a hump on the center part of your keyboard...your foam block might be in the center in your case ?
I also saw that the keyboard PCB is fixed by a clip on the right and a black thing on the left side...do you know what's this thing ?
so...there a way to "perfect it" by putting a slightly thinner foam on the right side to equalize the pressure...
Do you have a pic on how to do it ?
hey i was just wondering if someone could help me out here, ive searched around with no luck. I replaced my wing's housing because my old one was all scratched everything works fine but i have one problem when i slide out the keyboard the screen doesnt go to landscape mode and i have no idea whats broke checked all the cables and stuff and its all pluged in, the keyboard works just wont rotate the screen thanks
You can try a hard reset, which should cure any software problems.... but if you were messing with the phone and taking it apart in order to replace the housing ... it sounds like a hardware issue.
its defenitely hardware related just not sure what it could be not sure where the thing that operates the screen and turns it when the slide is open would even be
I had the same problem. Their is a little round magnet in the front housing that you forgot to swap from the old case. Its hard to notice but its in one of the corners in the screen side housing. its under the OK button, under the circuit board. on the actual sliding plastic housing. you'll see a small round recces thats where the magnet goes.
the wing has a Prossesser Of 200Mhz, so what that means is its pretty slow.. just uninstall unused programs and End programs that your not using. Its also possible that your firmware might not Support Sliding.
