No Reset Button only a black foil - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Hi,
my Nike has no reset button on the side of the usb connector. In the hole is only a black foil but no button. Anybody the same problem

OMG! you found the elusive...
No, really, thats not right, maybe theres some ducktape inside left from a bad tecnitian... :/

Nope - that's right - that's how mine looks
Don't push the stylus horizontally into the phone, push it down into it (towards the front screen, IYKWIM and don't do it hard either, only needs a gentle one. If you push it sideways, you'll miss the buttone...and think it's not there
HTH,
Smiffy.

You mean they changed how the reset button works but didnt had the decency of placing it outside yet?
Is HTC learning things from Nokia?
They already have the worst price/hardware ratio, the ppc's are beautifull but slow, the drivers are bad and now they arent even user friendly... they are slowly becoming nokia...lol.

Poor Exec ergonomics? Just me or everybody?

There are a few things I'd change about the ergonomics of the Universal. I'm right-handed so I hold the thing in my left hand and operate with my right. Before this I had an XDA2.
- on/off switch should be on the right-hand side of the case, under the 'Enter' key and should be easier to find without looking (i.e. by feel only). In portrait mode it should be at the top of the machine
- the pen should come out of the case in the same location as it does for the XDA2, i.e. under the '->' key on the keyboard. In portrait mode I have to reach over the top of the Exec and fumble the pen out from the left side of the machine
- the phone answer/end buttons on the hinge are exactly where my thumb is located when I hold the phone while talking in portrait mode (I listen through my left ear), so I often press them by accident while talking. They should be at the opposite end of the hinge IMHO and they should light up when a call comes in
- camera lens is at the wrong end of the machine: in tablet mode but landscape (which is the only orientation the camera seems to allow :roll: :?: ) I hold the Exec with my left hand and press the shutter button with my right and in this position my left-hand fingers often obscure the lens. If the lens was at the SD-card end of the case I could hold the Exec comfortably in my left hand without obscuring the lens
I love this machine but I'm curious to know whether I'm the only one who finds it slightly awkward to use in some circumstances. Maybe because of the dual format (tablet/laptop) it'd be impossible to get perfect, but the above changes would help me a lot.
Kind of agree, but I'll adapt.
The other niggle - my lovely Proporta case, complete with belt clip - you leave the device in the case to use it. Perfect! Except the toggle for the belt clip is, of course, on the previously "flat" camera side, so I can no longer sit the thing on a desk to type without first unscrewing (and probably losing) the belt clip toggle...
Pah.
It seems that space issues dictate where the pen went.
Infact, if you look the end curves to go above the usb socket!
I used to laugh at the Magician owners when I had XDAII, i had a real stylus and they had a stubby little square thing.
Bah, i feel foolish now.
On the positive side though, just how many speakers does this thing have? I've counted four so far...
Two on the side edge (stereo), plus one above the screen in tablet mode, and then another one in the plain side where the holes are (above the Enter key when the clamshell is closed).
Just answered a phone call with the case closed and the sound was coming from those holes. So we can answer it both when the clamshell is closed and when it's in tablet mode. Awesome! No more dirty screen!
Does it automatically answer the phone if you open the clamshell to view the screen when it rings? Haven't tried this yet.

Front aluminum sheet!!
Has anyone encountered the same?! I have used the phone with closed clamshell and many times when my sideburners got stuck in between the slight attachement edge of the metal sheet on the clamshel!
I thought it is inconvenient and now I believe it is so! The metal sheet is not properly glued to the phone body!!
Poor craftwork

Hehehe :lol:
It sounds funny, but I guess (like the points I made in my original post) it's a small irritation for you. Wonder whether they have bearded testers in the HTC factories...

Hermes Keyboard

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.
Mike
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 ?

Anyone have a problem with part of the touch screen not registering?

I have an HTC hero and I am having problems with the bottom third of the screen. I cannot "click and hold" in order to drag a program icon, for instance. Instead it just registers the click, and not the hold! Very annoying.
I have MoDaCo custom rom 1.5 on it, but don't think this could be a software/firmware issue. I don't recall it being a problem before, so it appears it has developed a fault!
Nightmare. Anyone experienced anything similar and an easy way to fix it?
James
Hi,
I can't actually help you but i can tell you the first iphones would develop a similar problem with their touchscreen where sensitivity dropped off, especially near the edges. This turned out to be a coating wearing off.
This seems to be happening from time to time with capacitive screens.
If you are sure it's a hardware issue, i wouldn't hesitate to send it back.
Kr,
-Kevin
Have you tried re-starting the phone?
Yes, and it made no difference. But pulling the battery and restarting (I had to do this to get theserial number fot HTC support!) worked!!
Cheers
James
You could also download a "Draw" app to test all areas of the screen.
When I first had mine I had problems hitting the Backspace on the portrait keyboard, I tried a calibrate but I think its better now because my finger knows where to go.
I find my screen seems more responsive when the phone is in my hand, less so if lying on a table. Is this a quirk of a capacitve screen or more to do with the angle of attack?

This. It doesn't seem even remotely responsive when I have it lying down flat on any surface, but as soon as I pick it up it works again.

The metal bezel actually acts as a grounding point between the capacitive areas that don't have any adjacent space to get a good contact...

Some irony there.

Really embarassing but...

Has anyone else had trouble getting the back off their HD2?
I cant for the life of me get it off, it hurts my fingers doing what they say in the manual and i cant get it to budge, any tips from those who already opened it?
My only tip is to keep trying. And don't be embarassed, I too had the same problem.
I just pop it off with my nail in the groove on the side. To be honest, I haven't read the manual, so I can't comment on the recommended method.
What does it say in the manual? I'm not at home at the moment, so don't have access to it.
I just tried opening the case again, as I only did it once when I got the phone. Putting my nail in the slot the opposite side to the volume bar and lifting directly up did the trick.

Ah yeah that worked!, the bloody manual has the wrong instructions? it specifically says to open it like that from the other side? but that doesn't work!

Sure? As far as I remember it sais "left side and lift up cover" or sth. like that, but in the pic the device is fliped around, so "left side" would then be the opposite side of the volume bar =) And "lift up" also indicates that the device is turned around.
Wouldn't it be easier to push the cover with the thumb instead of a fingernail?
my thumb is too big, it just slips off, i use my finger nail - but i am a little worried about scratching the black coating off the metal

remember my tryings lol... i used my stupid half of my brain.. so i didn`t read manual, and i nearly destroyed volume buttons, because i thought that pressing them is the way how to open that
Had similar trouble with my short nails. Try a Plectrum or the edge of a coin

[Q] the 'TOUCH' has gone from my phone!

Hey, since last night my HTC Legend isn't able to be 'touched' I can use the menu buttons and track ball but it doesn't work with skin contact!
Has anyone had this problem before?
it never worked with skin contact

A failure of the touch sensitivity in an 8mm strip down the left-hand side of my 2nd Legend meant a replacement under warranty, it wasn't the whole screen though.
I downloaded some touchscreen test app which confirmed it.

the screen doesn't work, the push buttons do, eg. Menu, it brings up the boxes along the bottom but I can't press them on screen eg. Settings, LauncherPro settings, notification etc
it sounded like u were trying to "press" the menu button just by skin contact
sorry for the misunderstanding
It looks like your digitizer is read. I think this is what you need to buy:

I encountered the same problem after installing a Zagg screen protector. From reading around it seems maybe I pressed too hard with the squeegee when applying it. I got a replacement phone.
Every once in a while I experience the same thing with my new phone if I have it in my pocket for a while. Usually the touch comes back if I just set it aside and don't touch it for a while.
Seems like the legend screens are suseptible to damage from too much pressure on the screen.
I read a forum post on here somewhere from someone who claimed to fix the issue by using duct tape on the screen (applying it then peeling it back off to lift the screen a little).
