Hello,
I got my N1 1 week before, and i'm really satisfied with this phone.
Since the first day that i got it, i tested it by applying pressure to the corners of the screen, just to check if it had any problems of clicking screen like the other users reported, and it was ok, no clicking and everything normal.
But today, i tested it again and i noticed that it clicked near the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen I applied pressure on it, and it seemed like it glued again and didn't click anymore, after several hours it begun to click again
I think i will apply the hairdryer method, before dust goes under my screen.
I just opened this thread to warn the other N1 owners, to check their phone again, so you are all sure that you have no problems with your screen.
Best Regards!
What's with this clicking?! I don't understand where you see the problem
Thats a good point cause I just got the N1 couple of days ago and noticed a clicking sound on the top area. Didn't know this was a known issue. Gonna have to look into it further.
I tried telling you guys in the thread I started (the other one about the dust under the screen), where I first suggested using a hairdryer... that everyone should go ahead and warm up the screen and make sure it's sealed properly. The glue has to be warmed up well to really get tacky so when it cools it will stay sealed since it's porous.

Yeah I did something like that. When I was leaving work I figured if I crank up the heat all the way up and hold the phone in front of the vent it might achieve the same thing and it seems like its good now. I don't here any clicking any more. I actually realized it was clicking from the bottom area as well aside from the top but it seems good (hopefully).
What exactly do you guys do to get that clicking sound? You press the edges of the screen? Applying a lot of pressure, or the usual? I don't seem to be getting anything weird, but I'm not pressing too much either.
You have to press at the corners with a good deal of pressure to hear the clicking.
Hm, I don't seem to be getting any noise. Is it loud, or barely noticeable?
Also, if I start to hear it in the future, is it an indicator that I might get the dust problem? Should I heat it with a hair drier? Won't that melt the plastic parts of the phone?
Press hard then let go and you may hear a very faint click. You have to listen for it. If you hear nothing then I guess your unit is fine.
Hairdryers shouldn't melt the plastic components, but should be hot enough to warm the adhesive up.

Ah, sounds like breaking the glue under the screen or something..
I used the hairdryer and it seems to work for a short time on the 4 softkeys.
Will try the upper part now
Did the hairdryer thing a month ago and its still holding strong

I am having trouble with this, after reading this thread I noticed the 2 bottom corners of my screen do click when pressing down on them hard, so took out the hair dryer and did each corner for about 2 min on full heat full blast, screen was hot to the touch, applied firm pressure while it was cooling afterwards, and there was no clicking at that time.
Now afew minutes after it is still clicking.
How did you guys do it exacly?
edit: nvm got it, had to hold down harder and right at the edge of the screen.
Yeah Mafi0s0, thats what i did too. I realised my screen clicking again after doing it the first time. Doing it the second time - it required alot of pressure, but doesn't seem to clicking anymore.
Thanx for the tips guys, I also had the same problem, but applying more pressure fixed the thing.
Mine also had the clicking at the bottom, and i have some dust under the screen.
It fiexed for now .. but i will probably disassemble it to clean all the dust if it gets worst.
This hair dryer method hasnt worked for me at all, I have tried 3 times, I just checked then and the clicking is heaps bad, its very loud. I am gonna get dust under my screen for sure if I dont fix this.
How have you guys who have been successful done it exactly?
Today I noticed 2 very small dust particles under my screen. After seeing this thread I did the corner test and it turns out the the bottom right of my screen clicks. I did the hair dryer trick and it seems to have fixed it.
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.
I'm on my third MT4G because of squeaky/noisy buttons. The biggest reason why this happens is this:
1) the buttons are cheap plastic
2) the sides of the button rub on the phone's bezel, thus creating the squeaking sounds
3) the home/back buttons are in fact one solid piece (stupid design)
I'm thinking about putting some type of lubricant in my phone (per a suggestion over in the T-Mobile forums), as I highly doubt T-Mobile would provide a fourth phone to me. This squeaking sound really is annoying, and should not be present on such a high-end phone such as this one.
Has anyone taken their phone apart in an attempt of making the creaking sounds go away? Has anyone applied lubricant to the buttons to stop the squeaking?
lubricant?
you could try some sort of graphite lubricant... it's not really a liquid, just a powder and shouldn't propagate through the phone. i think "dri-slide" still makes it
The whole bottom of my phone squicks and creaks but I don't think I want to put any lubricant in my phone. I'll just wait a little and exchange it if anything. Doesn't bother me as much as I thought I would when I found out about it.
How bad its it? My vibrate feature is starting to maker noise
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I sprayed a little bit of CRC Power Lube onto the left button on my MT4G since it was making an annoying noise when pressed. Works perfect and it's plastic safe, no stains!
Mine screams like a banshee now.
This is probably the only real design flaw with this phone.
Still better than non-responsive capacitative touch buttons, but def annoying.
I also forgot to mention how loud my home button makes this clicking sound when I press it (along with the squeaking sound). It really is f'n annoying. Could any of these lubricants help simmer that down a bit? If I had known these buttons would end up being so damn loud, I would have second-guessed buying it.
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.
Press or squeeze your phone so that you're applying pressure to the screen. Doesn't have to be a super hard press. Just press and let go. I hear a clicking noise when I let go of the screen. Almost seems like something is sticking when I press down and then let go. Anyone else have this issue? I'm on my second z3. I like the phone but its starting to bother me how there are quality control issues. My first z3 had light leakage all along the left side. The one I currently have has two tiny pinprick spots of light leakage which is fine but now I have this possible problem. I know the phone is waterproof already as I dunked it right when I got it. Just wondering if this will cause future problems.
No clicking noise here.
Just realized this only happens when pressing towards the bottom of the screen and not the top. The only reason I checked was because someone else on reddit has the same issue.

omg! i have the same issue. press the screen between the volume key and shutter key. you can hear a squeaky noise:crying:
I have it too. But doesn't affect the phone performance so I'm ignoring it.
I have it near the bottom speakers. After pressing a while, it stops, so I am assuming it's something sticky down there holding the screen.
Mine doesn't appear to have this issue so far.
No noise here, although I have clicking noises when softly pressing the power button :crying: it also moves slightly to the left and right :crying: :crying: :crying: anyone with the same issues?
Y'all have to look up the definition of "issue".
