Does your screen wobble when the keyboard is out?

I'm that my screen seems loose when my keyboard is out. I'm wondering if this is just how sliders are, since this is the first slider phone i've owned. I've had the phone for 2 days. If its a manufacturing defect, I want to get it exchanged.
I went to the sprint store to check the display models, none of them had any screen wobble. But the store manager's phone did have a screen that wobbled when slid out, so he refused to exchange mine. He claims that my keyboard has been used more than the store demo models. I think thats a load of bs...
Is it normal for the screen to wobble when the keyboard is out? I'm talking about an audible rattle when i tilt my phone toward me about 1 inch...

Yes, mine does that too.

no rattle here

Yeah. Mine has that features too but I would assume this is just something having to do with the application of the slider, but I don't think it is worth worrying about. But of course I am no expert...

I don't understand wobble. Side to side? Or against the spring?

If you're holding your phone like you would use it normally. And then tilt the screen toward you about 1 inch. My screen will move and make a noise. If i tilt it back, it moves back and makes a noise. =/

Yes, mine has developed a wobble as well. When holding the keyboard and moving the phone up and down vertically, I can feel the screen wobbles.
Also, when keyboard is closed, various parts of the touchscreen feels loose. Especially noticeable in landscape - i.e. when playing angry birds. when I tap on screen, the screen has depresses / has some play.
I don't think my phone had the wobble on day 1, so this is something that developed. Since it's only been 3 days, I'll be looking into getting it replaced.

Its the nature of the beast. It will also loosen up through time too. Don't want to worry about that? Get a candybar or pda style phone with no moving parts.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

No problems here my slider is rock solid which is awesome considering im coming from a palm pre with super oreo.

Mostly i'm just concerned that if the slider has loosened soo much in 2 days of very light use, how will it last 2 years?
Has anyone ever had a case of a slider phone breaking in half? lol
or becoming so loose that its unusable?

This is my fourth slider phone. They always loosen up a bit, but the device will be fine. If you really, REALLY can't live with it, bring it in for a new one every once in a while... that's what insurance is for. Or take it apart and tighten it up yourself. I did that with my Mogul and it wasn't too hard.
P.S. The poll is flawed. The answer is either yes or no.

The worst case I've heard of or seen personally was with the Pre. Mine had a slight wiggle that I could live with, but I heard of some twisting so far that the screen was at a 90 degree angle to the keypad. If you google "Palm Pre Oreo" you'll see some examples. Here's one I found in a quick search.

My Epic has a slight wobble that I was worried about (especially after coming from the Pre)...but if that many other people are experiencing the same thing I'm going to assume that it's normal.

A case helps in my opinion to keep the sliding mechanism in place. Mine doesn't wobble as much as a nude epic.

Bring it in, DON'T take it apart yourself. From what the tech bulletins have mentioned, a special jig is required to put the phone back together. Let the Sprint techs handle it and let them take the risk.

me and my wife both got epics the same day, hers wobbles and mine doesn't and believe me it wobbled from day one, she don't even use the keyboard, I just noticed it when I slid it out to help set her phone up for her, I figured maybe mine doesn't do it because I hae a case but mine was rock solid and I've used the keyboard a lot more than her. I think maybe hers gets returned within the 30 days.

Wobbly screens are not normal. Lol Mine is rock solid. But hey, maybe mine is abnormal?

Wow I just tested my wobble vs my girlfriends epic and hers is rock solid. I'm getting an exchange.

My Epic is rock solid. Doesn't budge unless I actually force it with my hand.. and even then it doesn't "make a noise."

Went to a sprint store today to return a case, and checked out the epics they had on display. Mine has a very slight amount of wiggle, and showed it to tech there. The tech and i went over the 4 they had on display, all of them had a little bit of wiggle, with one not having much at all. He said all sliders will have a little bit, but if it turns into a lot you have a year to exchange, since the phone has a 1 year warranty. If they get a lot of complaints, they turn it into samsung as a "known issue" but than its up to samsung to issue a fix or say that its normal. This is coming from a tech at Sprint Premiere repair center.
But honestly, almost every slider phone or device ive had, has a little bit of wiggle when its open. I just bought a Tivo Slide remote control, and when you open that it wiggles in the exact same way the epic does. It has the same spring loaded action to it as well. My droids (i had 3 of them) all had it too.
I just think its the nature of the sliders. Obviously if its abnormally loose you should exchange, but if it just wiggles a little bit, chances are exchanging it will be diffucult depending on the tech you talk to, and also, the new phone isnt guaranteed to wiggle any less.
Just my .2 cents i suppose

What if your phone could have a front-facing camera without actually having one?

I've been thinking about what was missing in our HD2s.. finally i found it!
its this >> AWESOME <<

I wonder if they would make such a thing for our HD2s.. that would be very cool!
we would have a face-front video chat Skype or Fring..
Sharing is caring.​

To bad I couldn't get the one I made that nice looking!!

wait... you made one right?
atleast share with us your idea.. how you made it.. and how it looks like, pictures?

The title of this thread was so confusing, I had to click on it. But you're right, that's actually a good idea! What would be cooler is if it was imbedded in a case, so that it could just flip out when needed... I have the "Body Glove" that has the kickstand, but it'd be neat to have the mirror flip out and allow iphone-like skype... although, not sure I'd ever use it.

i did make one. made it out of balsa wood and used two mirrors off a small disco ball. it took me a few trys of getting the mirrors angles right but did get it. i wish i could show some pictures but its gone, thats what i get for leaving it out where my kids ( and by kids, i mean my cats) got to it. you could make one too. with some time, and more time, and some glue and sharpe knife you too could have one. balsa wood is lite and easy to carve. you can get little mirrors and the wood at any craft or hobby shop. all you need to do is carve two pieces of wood to fit on top of the phone snug and have two places for the mirros to sit in the wood, hardest part is getting the angles right so you can hold the phone or put in a cradle and sit back and chat away. good luck if some-one trys. if you do, lets see it. ill be making another one, when its done i will have pics for yall.

That is one helluva idea there buddy. I too many months ago thought about making one like this but never got around to it....probably because I would never use it. But the mirror built into a case is an idea someone should work with.

I agree, if this was built into a case, that would be awesome. Heck, this might be a better video chatting experience than with a real front camera as you won't need to use that vga crap lol.

Didn't notice this before. Doesn't look like something they will come out with soon though. They're still looking for a manufacturer from what I've read. Wish all these companies would hurry up with the solution for phones without front facing cameras. This one took a great sleek approach to it. I have actually ordered the IseeU and it's suppose to take a while to ship, but if it doesn't ship I'll just cancel it and wait it out for this one.

UPDATE
Ordered the Iseeu and as it turns out it doesn't exactly work for the HD2 (duh). The angle the clip is at and the mirrors aren't made to work correctly on the HD2. Hopefully this prevents other people from ordering one in hopes of it working on the hd2.

Wouldn't the image show up flipped upside down? Just thinking about the angles, it doesn't look like it would work correctly without an inverting lens

I wondered how long it would be before someone spotted that!

Well actually, it looks like the back of the clip is acting as the third mirror, which in essence would make the end image the right way up.
Very interesting concept though, but would benefit from being built into a case. Can you imagine having to dig this out of a pocket everytime you wanted to use it?? I'd lose it way before I had the chance to use it!!!

Dunno if I`m actually right but... the first one flips it once, the second one flips it back. There`s no need for any third mirror...

Doesn't matter. With tango you can flip the image around. If you touch the switch camera onscreen, it will flip the image. It's meant to switch from the Rear camera to the front, but on the HD2 it just flips the image. I want a mirror. I hope someone comes out with one for the HD2

I'll make some !
OK, my years of trolling have ended. I'll throw some things together in the next 5-7 days and post my results/pics.
I have the ability to mold small run plastics. I'm even thinking simple heat formed mirrored acrylic/poly sheet. Depending on the size of reflective surface needed I think I have a way to integrate it into a case and have it simply pop/slide up.
Small run <100 shouldn’t be a problem. Technology/New phones are released so quickly it's just not cost effective to produce something like this in mass.
Yes, other than using a prism the image will be upside down. As long as Tango can flip image I don't see a problem.

There were no instructions to read. You simply said to buy a case, no links or anything.
My guess is that he has a case that does not have a cutout for the hardware keyboard on the sides (hard to tell from the video, but it didn't look like it). Normally this is thought of as a poor design choice since that means it interferes with the keyboard while open (if you flick the phone open, it may not lay flat). If the case is sufficiently thin though, you can probably wedge the case edge against the edge of the keyboard, effectively holding it in place. Just my guess though.

I bet you're totally right, a case without a cutout and case wall is thin enough to wedge in the space behind the back of screen. That is why he repeated, "push up, push up".

You have to go to the youtube page and click the description.

And here I thought someone found a new (real) solution...

it is a solution. You just need the 3 dollar case and push up and it wont become loose when you text on the bed.

Here is the link to the case the OP has (taken from his YouTube video):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045EI356/
Be warned, your mileage may vary with purchasing this case. There is a really long thread in the Accessories forum about this exact one from Amazon. It seems like some of the people who bought it received cases with the cutout and others received cases that didn't have it. Most likely depends on which vendor you buy from and what they have stocked (you'll notice there are currently 18 different vendors). Notice, even in the pictures on Amazon, the cutout is there...
I actually bought this case a long time ago when that thread started. Mine has the cutouts. Great case for cheap (and I actually wanted one with the cutouts so I got lucky).

He's got a link on his you tube page to buy the case, but look at this picture taken from his video it looks like his middle finger is on the other side holding the screen up, and keeping it from opening,Is this a scam to sell more cases???? You be the judge.

Everyones just being cautious, there are a ton of scam artist out there trying to make a buck by any means, Like I said it just looked funny, along with no explination of how the case actually works. Your op said BUY the case, then put it on, then push up on it, what does that sound like?

Alright ill make another video as soon as i can. I dont get paid for any of this. I have the G2 and the loose hinge annoys me when i text on the bed. You DONT have to buy the case. I only said buy the case because this particular case makes the screen stay up. I think is because of the clamps they get stuck. Ill make another video

I also have to wonder -- if you're pushing hard enough to wedge the case behind the raised part of the keyboard, are you also putting too much stress on the hinge mechanism?

But for something that costs about $0.60-$0.80, who cares?!? How could this guy make money off of something so cheap? I still purchased the HTC OEM version as I wanted a better case that had those cutouts.

[Q] Shake your Xperia Play

Hey Folks
As a nooby I must admit I'm quite intimidated by the video I was subjected to at registration but I've worked up the courage to start up a new thread
My Xperia play has an audible rattle when it is shook even lightly.I'm trying to firgure out what this is as it does not happen to my brothers.Another thing is that there is no rattle when the phone is open in controller mode but only when it is closed.
I'm wondering if this is normal with x amount of phones or whether or not its dodgy.It must be something to do with the hinges as far as I can see because it does not make a sound when it is open.Any response would be greatly appreciated
I've seen a thread similar to this on these forums as I've been lurking for a while.I'm just wondering how common if at all common is this?

If I shake mine up&down fast enough, it makes a small rattle. Doesn't seem harmful, and my phone's been working perfectly for months.

Gave mine a little shake up and down and it rattles a little. My phone is fine. Never noticed because I never shaked it before.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App

Yep, mine rattles when the gamepad is closed, but doesn't when it's open. It sounded like it could be the buttons but I shook it while holding different variations (of buttons) but it still rattles. It must be something inside that becomes taut when you open the gamepad.
Out of interest, why were you shaking your phone?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Also, I don't have to shake it much, and it rattles when shook in any direction, more so when up and down though.

Has anybody else noticed that, whilst typing, the two halves of the phone sometimes hit against each other?

Hey guys thanks for the replies.
I always get all ocd with my new gadgets .I wasn't sure if this was a widespread minor annoyance or a defected handset.I got a flashlight widget which requires a shake to switch on and off so that's how I discovered it.
To milkyJoe.that problem drove me absolutely insane so I had to come up with a solution.i'll post it tomorrow when i've more time pal

Same here!

Whats more important is the fact that the slide mechanism scratches the deck pad near the select button after repeated open and close
It's a manufacturing defect and I've seen it twice on 2 different models of Xperia
So I know it's not a coincidence.
My newest one has a rubber protector over it I made to stop the scratching and the "jiggle" the OP is talking about

Man that is genius! I should look into that, although I haven't really gotten any scratches from the slider yet and I've had it since June.

I took it apart thoroughly and there are several loose parts inside, but I'm pretty sure it's the power/lock button. The flat cable that slides is not going to make a sound like that and the headphone jack and front-camera didn't seem nearly as problematic.

On my third one and I just put clear tape over it. My first one didn't show wear nearly as fast. I disassembled the second and saw that the Teflon (or whatever it is) dome nub/button was kinda creased and had collected contamination, though the damage was already visible while the phone was otherwise pristine and new (hardly even a speck of pocket lint!). It wipes right off and, honestly, I think it was the metallic paint that it was scrubbing off and not externally acquired dirt or dust. My second one also quickly developed a scratch on the underside of the top piece from a screw on the bottom that was screwed in too far and protruding. This was before I took it apart, so I am not to blame!

Not only Backglass unglues.

I've been using my Xperia Z with good care, used it to do alot of high-end gaming and the phone really gets hot, but one thing I love to do is listen to music, I don't use a Bluetooth connection or anything and it has apparently put straint on the phone panels.
I noticed this earlier today while plugging in my headphones, like normal.

Sorry for the shobby picture.
So beware, it seems that the whole phone can just fall apart due to heat.

Seriously buddy OMG...i had that top left panel unglue issue on my XZ...but this is seriously bad....

Go to Sony Service. I've read on another forum (cant' remember where) that a guy got his phone replaced for something like that.

When I read this I had to see how bad mine was since my backglass is unglued. Pulled off the headphone flap en lifted that other part up and tadaa, same issue. When I did it it made some noise like the glue fell apart.
I think you better don't try it, since it seemed to be good until I tried, lol. Gotta get my backglass repaired anyway so I'll tell them about this problem also. I hope they swap it for a new one haha.

I shouldn't probably, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I hate sending in for repair, means I'll be without a phone for a week.

I know, I do too. Fortunately there is a shop here which is connected to my provider, which repairs them while you wait. I'm not sure if they will repair this also, so I call them first.
My backglass is unglued for like two months now. Last week I cycled in the rain and when I stopped and pressed my back glass there was water coming out of the phone lol. Nothing damaged though

holy sh*t!

I don't get how you guys have these problems with the Z?! The only thing i can think of is harsh chemicals such as chlorine,heavy soap etc. I have taken a shower,(steamy) washed my phone with soap (SoftSoap) and don't get these problems. Allot of people that have had this happened to them was due to harsh chemicals.....BTW had my phone since March 6 months later...still going strong!!!

I haven't used any chemical substances at all. I've used my phone like you should.
This is just weak glue, due to phone getting very warm, and while I listen to music the flap rests on the panel, which makes it open.
Why would anyone use chlorine on their phone

If it doesn't come up by itself don't try force it people. Sticking you fingernail under it will make it come off really easy. Doesn't happen just by headphone port. Happens by micro SD port to where the charging dock connectors are.

Since I'm going for a warranty repair anyway, I tried it and yes, you're right. I could open it too, if I gave it some force, but it still sticks fine , and doesn't constantly opening by itself - you really do have to force it
