Exactly what the thread title says really...
The Touch Pro uses a magnetic switch to tell if the stylus is in it's holder or taken out, and wakes up the phone when it is removed.
Does the xperia have such a function? I doubt it because
a: the stylus does not have the (brilliant) magnetic holder from the TP to hold it in.
b: (not necessarily true) surely if it was available in hardware Sony would have enabled it.
Anyhow, looking forward to responses.
I think you've answered your own question. No switch.
No worries, just checking if anyone knew any different.

Hi,
I've got the 9100 for a month now.
and everytime when the phone rings, the screen go automaticly to landscape mode, and the send button is not responding.
i can anser only frem the "answer" button on the screen which is now on the top left corner.
it doesnt happend all the time, but its very annoing.
any help?
thanks
Have you tried a hard reset ?
Hahaha... I know where this is coming from...
You are using the TERRIBLE useless case that comes in the box right? Its magnets cause the screen to flip around... your unit is A-OK.
By the way, you store your unit screen facing out or facing your body? Try changing directions if you insist on using this stupid case (I am using it also but I am looking for a better one).
Has anyone found a better case for the KJAM/QTEK 9100?
I had the problem with the case, too...
But it doesn't explain the send button not working - that's happened to me also, which is damn annoying when you're trying to answer the phone!
oh, and I'll be writing a review of the PDAir case as soon as it arrives... Fingers are crossed!
ooh
It really make sense, the magnet thing.
i don't usually put the device on specified side.
but i will try to notice it from now.
in that case, what about the car holders that uses magnet to hold the device?
Give it a try, use the cases magnets to find the spot on the KJAM that flips the screen. It seems that the sliding keyboard uses a magnet to let the device know it is open and to flip the screen.
The included case is such a useless case. I am sure that NO ONE at HTC actually tested the usability of the case WITH the KJAM inside in an everyday usage pattern...
Also, I am not sure if the magnets don't harm the device..
Many many thanks you very clever and helpful people!!!
I was on the verge of getting on to eBay and letting the top bidder have my XDA Mini, because of this switching lark, but I've tried what has been posted here and sure enough, it is the magnets.
So I'll get a better case and keep the device which I think is excellent.
Thanks again!!
:lol:
yea
it helped
please give us a recommendation for a good case
thanks
Yeah.. would like to hear about a good case...

Anybody uses them?
hi guys! i just wanna ask if the magnets on these magnetic car holders actually affects your pda/phones? im thinking of buying this one http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=746&t_mode=des and i thought of attaching the magnet directly at the back of the tytn. will it have any effect being there all the time. will it affect the electronics or whatever on the pda/phone.
thanks
Magnets won’t affect a PDA or mobile.
The only thing that it effects it the screen orientation if the magnets are too close to the lower left side corner.
I just discovered that it’s less sensitive then the wizard.
Just try to move the magnet of your carrying case around your TyTN and see if it changes the orientation of your screen.
Mine did it once but never again.
Cheers,
Drifter
that's cool then

90% of the time when I get an incoming call, I grab phone out of case and it has been answered or ignored already. this seems to be because the case is snug and presses buttons as I remove the phone. I have ordered the seidio clip case, and hopefully it won't have the problem. Is there a way to lock buttons or something that will fix this, or do I need to find a case that is not so tight? I was also having problems with magnets in the case closure, so it looks like this case was just a bad choice. i've looked through the accessories thread to find cases, but there aren't too many. I think the 8525 has a different button layout than tytn, so maybe it makes this problem worse.
thanks,
wes
Hey all,
My Tilt is on the way from AT&T, and I'm looking at cases. The cases that seem to interest me all use magnetic studs. Some have said the magnetic studs can keep the Tilt turned on.
The 2 I like the most are the following:
PDair Book Type
ebay "Premium" Kaiser Case
Anyone had any experience with these or other similar cases with magnetic studs in a similar spot causing problems?
Thanks!
Dont want to hijack your thread but since your on the topic of that case anyone try "PDair Book Type"? Is it still possible to press the keys with the plastic over it?... It doesn't look like it, i seems like you would be pressing more than one button at a time with that plastic over the keyboard.

I think you'll be able to press the keys, but it wont be as good as without the case. As you said, you'll prolly press several buttons at onces and wont get the same feel when typing.
I've used a Prestige case with magnetic closure for a year or more with my AT&T 8525. Never noticed a problem. I'm now using the case with my Tilt, but that's only been a few days. Haven't noticed anything yet, however.
I'm using the PDAir flip case -- the magnetic stud doesn't affect anything. The plastic keyboard cover isn't too bad -- I haven't noticed any problems with multiple keypresses, but it does affect the feel of the keyboard.
I'm looking forward to the Piel Frama case, which should be coming out in the next few weeks. They had a really good case for my old Wizard that used a narrow leather strap & snap to hold the device in the case; you'd unsnap the strap to access the keyboard.
Depends on the magnet strength and location, there have been a few reports of the magnet turning on the phone. The kaiser keyboard uses a magnetic sensor to turn on the phone when the keyboard opens. I'm using a hip holster with mag and not seeing any issue.
I'd say should anyone have the issue, start a thread with brand/model listed for others to avoid.
I have the Seidio case I originally bought for my 8525.

The two magnets would always "trick" the screen into thinking the keyboard was open and switch it to landscape mode. I always had to wait a few seconds for the screen to switch back when I took it out of the case.
This does NOT happen with the Tilt. The screen stays in portrait mode. I have always liked the quality of the case and the magnets in the flap make it easy to open and shut. So now it is my perfect solution.
no issues here

I have been using a case with two magnetic studs on the flip closure for months now and have had zero issues. Bought mine at Fred Meyers and recomend anyone in need of a good black leather horizontal pouch case to check it out. was 15 dollars and is of the same quality and fit as 40 dollar cases you may see online.
cheers
I've been using a Motorola Case designed for the Q9 with my Tilt and it's worked out quite well. It also has a single magnetic stud closure and I have noticed no issues at all.
I bought the PDair Book Type case same week the Tilt first came out here in the U.S. I have had no problems at all. Non of that shutting off by itself thingy people complain about.
Magnetic cases
Some cases cause screen to wake up, some don't. To eliminate the problem just turn off Slide Wake option in registry. When slide wake is enabled opening the keyboard (or getting too close to a magnet) will wake the screen. Turn this option off and you can use magnetic clasps at will.
I just received my active case from boxwave
http://www.boxwave.com/products/activecase/active-case-at_t-fuze_3350.htm
It blocks the PTT button, when I try to slide my keyboard open..it's not smooth and gets caught on the plastic tabs. I'm RMAing this sucker. Waste of money..
If you looked at the pics, it's a touch pro cover Sorry to burst your bubble.
It's alright , I'm going to return it anyways.
its a cool case but i was waiting for someone to buy it to see how well it is, thanks for the warning, hehe
hey fellas talking about boxwave, it occurs to me that they sell the same stuff you find on ebay for 12x the price; case, charger, usb cables, etc.
is there really any significant difference between their products and the other generic ones aside from the price?
I like their screen protectors, out of the ones i've tried their "ClearTouch Crystal" does the best job of not dulling the screen image at all.. i've gotta say though this case issue amuses me, you can even see in their photos they don't have a fuze in it they have a Touch Pro (no PTT button).. half ass for the win!

I have a fuze on t-mobile, and the PTT button is more of a liability than anything. Does the case cover the button without pressing it? I was thinking that something like this might actually make life easier for me (I wouldn't always be accidentally pressing it, and then getting the error message). I'm not sure what you meant at the end, but does the PTT button make it harder to slide out the keyboard (which would obviously be annoying)? Thanks.
Looks like you could get a strong pair of scissors or an exacto knife and fix it...no? Just cut out a piece to make the PTT button accessible?
I could...but it's really cheap feeling. Not even worth the cash.
I bought a 5 dollar one from EBAY and it fit fine.. I actually had to trim the upper clip from the back cover off because it was making a little noise when closing.. Other than that well worth the $5 shipped.. lol
can you link me to the auction?

Farmer Ted,
The case does not press the PTT button. I actually LIKE the case. I work outside, where my Fuze can be easily damaged, and I know this Active Case will keep it safe. It's so easy to pop the case off as needed. (Which is good, because I need to pop in a second battery quite often.)
As for the person's comment about cutting out the PTT button from the case - I'm going to say, yes, it's possible. You can just extend the opening given for the volume keys. I won't try it unless someone else does first, and gives good instructions as to what tools they used, etc.
