Anyone else notice that when typing, especially on the left side it makes creaking sounds? I thought the screws might be loose, I tightened them all but it still does it. I guess it's the battery cover.
Gives it a little bit of a cheap flimsiness. Would like to correct it.

My 8525 dropped out of the case on to the cement. The only damage seems to be a little bubble in the keyboard around the 'ghjk' keys. Everything still works fine, but it is a little annoying.
Any ideas? Any quick fix? Would this be covered under warrany, as ive only had it 5 months? (hopefully its still under warranty)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Simple solution.
The same thing happened to me.
If you look just below the bottom row of keys you will notice that there is a now a gap between the keys and the outer plastic case.
there are little clips on the left and the right below the bottom keyss and whats happened is that the little clips have come out and up and are pushing against the plastic below the bottom keys.
you just need to push down on the clips so that they move down a little and then they will clip into place.
This is whats causing the bubble.
I have just got my blackstone and I would like to hear from other owners if this is ok
1- I feel that something is loose beneath the camera, when I put my phone on the table or when I tap on the camera from the back I hear as if something is cracking
2- This might be normal but when I tap on the display I feel that the outer cover of the display is a bit moving towards the display, as if there is a 1mm space between the display and the outer cover, this is most noticeable when pressing at the middle of the display
Thanks
I have noticed both of those things ever since I got my HD a month ago. I think it is normal. I even read a tip in the wiki list of tips that deals with the squeaky back cover. See tip Nr. 37 there.
On my device I do not notice anything like you mentioned.

I find:
1. The back cover is loose and makes that "cracking" noise
2. There is zero movement of the screen in relation to the unit. Try taking the back cover off and using the screen.

Really? I notice it on mine but only when I use the stylus and tap right in the center of the screen. It is not much at all, but if feel as though the clear plastic on the screen sinks half a millimeter and eventually touches bottom.
I don't see how taking the back cover off would affect using the screen at all.
Thanks for your replies, my back cover is really fine, I remember trying one in the shop that had the back cover problem but the unit I ordered is not suffering from this. The noise I hear is really coming from the inside and is somewhere under the camera.
Regarding the display, this is not a problem I know but when tapping on the display I just don't feel it is solid but that plastic cover moves downwards. Exactly as Chris is describing above
Doesn't the screen have to go down? Its a resistive touch, so there has to be SOME movement right?
i would recommend going back to the store and ask the sales person to check it
this does not sound alright and mine does not make the sound you described
check "settings" -> "sounds & notification" and disable "screen tabs"" this is a kinda cracking sound too when you touch the screen, and the speaker is on the backside
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem....i kinda fixed it by tightening the screws in the back of the phone...when the screen is up and i touched the bottom left of the screen and gave a little pressure it would wiggle a little.....so anyone have this problem also??
Yeah as I use it more and more it seems to move and not be as tight. Not a huge problem yet, but if it continues to get worse then I may bring it in.
My streak has started making a very noticible "click" noise when i press on the case, bottom left near the microphone hole, Just to the left of the home button. Now i havent taken my phone apart, but it sounds like however the piece just under the screen is attached, its somehow coming apart ever so slightly...visually it looks perfect still....doesent appear that the plastic piece is gonna come off anytime soon....its just an annoying click that makes it feel crappy. Anyone else experience this?
Maybe the hamsters wheel is coming loose and knocking on the casing, you did know it was hamster powered??
Sorry I can't be more helpful, no clicks or wobbles on my case so far and fingers crossed.
Can any others confirm if this occurs on your device. With the keyboard out if I press the bottom right corner to the keyboard portion I hear a distinct sound like its loose or something..
Mine creaks when I push that area, I'm not to worried about it any slider phone I've had has done something like that when the keyboard is out.
Yes that's exactly the sound I was referring too. Creaks... Any others confirm? As long as others are experiencing this I won't worry too much...
like rsacipher said, just about every slider I've seen creaks a little bit. if that's all it is i wouldn't worry about it. however if the sliding screen feels loose or if there's a gap between it and the main body then i'd definitely have it replaced.
