How firm is your slide mechanism?

As per the title.
How firm are your slide mechanism? When holding the device in your right hand (fingertips along left edge of device), does the device give a little as you change your grip/pressure (for example, as if you're manipulating the volume keys?).
EDIT:
As an aside, those buttons would have been better off on the "base" (keyboard section edge) of the device rather than on the screen section, that way when pressing them they wouldnt have caused this slight give in the slide mechanism!! Jesus, HTC need to employ some of us from here!!

A 100 views and no comments? Someone surely must have something to say about thi...

I would guess that many people are looking forward/waiting for this phone and want to read other people's thoughts but not enough people have one yet! You lucky soul!

Good point, but a few guys do. Black with his AT&T one, few others etc. Just looking for some opinions. Personally, I think the spring could be a little more resistive.

I got mine today finally from Clove, lucky enough was in the first shipment have been setting it up for the last couple of hours and the keyboard is fine.

Slight Keyboard give
I would agree with you to a point, Syphon Filter.
When looking at the screen, it seems that the palm of my hand is catching the bottom right edge of the keyboard in its closed position and 'twisting' it a little when the volume is adjusted.
However, I've found that the volume buttons are in the right place when using them incall.
(The actual sliding mechanisim feels pretty solid to me.)

There's a little give, not so much a shift but more of a flex, definitely feels good for a sideways slider.

Are you in the USA hebiscuitboy? If so what did clove charge for shipping to the U.S and how did you workout the exchange when you paid for it?
Thanks..

I guess it's 28 pounds delivery with DHL and 20 the old fashion way. At least when ordered from here in Finland. Didn't dare to accept the order yet.

Virtually no give in mine at all, feels solid.

Mine is solid and has been "thoroughly" used and handed around for wow factor for the past few days. It is well built and better, if I remember correctly, than the O2 XDA IIs (Blue Angel) for it's keyboard sturdiness mechanism.

Hi I'm based in the UK sorry

Appears firm to me, there's a little scraping noise as the keyboard is opened but not on close. Haven't been able to pin down where it's coming from yet.

I there's a little slidey thing that covers the ribbon cable. As you open/close that it moves. That's what is causing the noise your just described.

Fine. Another slight improvement from HTC's latest slider, in my opinion...
Totally agree with the comment about the volume buttons, too. Bit daft putting them somewhere where the act of pressing them means you're also opening up the keyboard...

Yeah they should have just moved then onto the bottom half of the slide!
So when you press your volume buttons (just enough to make them "press") does your slide move at all?
Mine does a tiny bit. if the spring was a little stiffer it would be spot on.

What about the power button when trying to remove the back?
I keep turning it back on when I want it to be switched off and remove the battery! Just something I will have to get used to no doubt!

After receiving my Fuze/Rap today, I also noticed a 1/32 inch twist when opening the phone. My only only other HTC slide experience is the 8125 which after 4 years has a more tight opening action.
I have to have faith in the Raph after all the faithful years with my other slide out.

US- Virginia Beach
it sounds like something comes loose when i slide my fuze open. then there is something that rattles around in it. i tried to return it but all the fuzes they had at the store made the same sound. unique?

Mine is a little loose as well - I wondered if anyone else had the same issue. I can (with very little effort) make the screen move about 2-3mm away from the keyboard. It does feel a lot more loose than the 8525 did to me.. I'm not sure how that will play out over the lifetime of the phone, but I can expect it to only get worse (hopefully not!)
Love the phone though in general.

I held the Fuze today!!!! share your Fuze story

so today was a good day. for one i was blessed to wake up this morning and to top it of i held a ATT FUZE in my hand. it was the best 10 plus minutes in my life while i was wearing clothes lol. yes people i was at the store today in Milford, CT. the sales associate there had a test model. and i must say it is everything you would have guessed it would be. first off both the stores i went to in the Milford, CT area said the phone will be available the first week in november. so the oct. 23 date is a farse. the guy at the store named weel call "joe the plumber" (cause he is so famous these days) said he had his training on this past tuesday. and most likely the phone will be in his words. "the same price as the tilt when it came out or price competativaly with the iphone. with the rebate if u get the data upgrade." im probally not going to say any thing about the phone you dont know but it reafems the fact that it is real and is as good as advertized. and in the Milford store i was told i was the only person to ask about the phone so i should be the only one with it for a while. im the 1st person in the list for the saleperson. i cant wait for that call in november.
the phone= it self has the diamond back like the unlocked version. i dont know i asked why cause sprints diamond has a soft touch back and he said "the test group didnt like that feture." but i said if ur typing on the table the phone will wiggle cause of the uneven back. i think att was lazy and told htc to change the keyboard and ship the phone out. lol. and the phone is so light. the tilt is a brick compared to this phone. i currently hava lg cu500 and it is bout .25" taller and not much thicker. and that is good cause you get a ful keybaord.
the keyboard= lost the upper top row of just numbers. but it has a lot of quick bottons for text and internet and such. also has a phone style number pad on the keyboard. the keys felt nice and the sliding was smooth. and the screen responded nice. though the accelerometer was not as resposive as he iphone when you moved the phone when viewing webpages. but the zoom was sick.
the camera= i didnt really take pics but the pics he toke and had on the phone was clear. he also showed me the card reader program. with this program you take a pic of a bussines card and it scans the info and make a new ocntact on your phone. it toke like 15 sec for it to scan i thought it froze but it was understandable and still amazinfg when all the info was pust in the correct name, address, etc. sections on the screen. the touch flo with pics are amazing and the screen is so nice. the phone had a led flash if i remember correct. i was so distracted by the pretty screen and touch flo i didnt take time to look much at the buttons and such on the phnone. but i temember a white/yellow thing below the camera lense.
what the phone comes with. the phone i looked at was a test phone so jow said all he got in his black unmarked box was cd, phone, usb, and charger. i know when i went to the sprint store in Hamden, CT where i live and looked at the diamond it came with that and a holtster, air buds, screen protector. i hope att add these things cause for the price i kinda expect it, and htc makes them for the unlocked phone so it should happen.
touch flo was sick. it works as adverticed. they obviously added a att store tab. the pics scrooled nice, and the music player was cool. the contact was scroolable too. i mean everything that you already know is there.
so in closing. the 1st week in november is the date to look for. not this oct 23 but im ok with being proved wrong lol. please excuse and grammer errors. the price should be $300- $400 with the rebate. its not the iphone so they are not going to make there money of volume. and if i remember correct it is a dark red color. i hope this was helpfull to someone cause i was excited when i saw it. though i played it cool. lol Thanks

That's a loooong story... Here's mine:
Bought one on eBay, had it for 3 weeks, sold for $100 more than I paid, it was fun. The end.

yes i have heard your story many times. i have been reading his site for a whole now. i was simply trying to give a full experience for those that care to read it. im sorry your attention span is limited. ill make my post shorter next time.

I don't know if he was trying to be pejorative with his reply, but I enjoyed your long post and its little details.
I'm a bit disappointed with the ATT version of this phone from all accounts. There are really two big things for me. First, the top row of keys would be far more useful had it been left alone as numbers in my opinion. I'm sure I'll get used to it if I end up buying the Fuze, but it's still a disappointment.
The second issue is really just an annoyance, which may end up being completely null in the end. It's the Diamond back, and how prone to wobbling it seems it will be. However, without a tilting screen it is unlikely I would ever really be typing on it while on flat surface anyway (in fact, I normally pick up my Tilt to type even with the tilting screen). And ever since discovering Pocket Controller Pro I'm even less likely to even touch my phone while it's on my desk. So maybe the positives of the aesthetic Diamond back actually outweigh the probably minor negatives of its functionality.

It's odd, my Fuze actually sat on a table and stayed in one position, didn't lean either way, just sat there with the way the back was. I had no problems with it. Also, I'm surprised to see you didn't like the symbols on top, most people I've spoken with (myself included) like the functionality of the symbols. Oh well, to each their own.

Which store in Milford? I used to live there but i'm in college in NYC now. At the Post mall or next to the Starbucks and stuff?

yes the one in the mall. the one by starbuks had a guy that was going for the training but as far as i know there was no test phone at that store. which is weird cause that is the bigger store.
and also i did test typing with the diamond back and it in fact did wobble when typing on a flat surface. though ur right u probably would just hold it rather than type on a flat surface.

Can you guys please tell me:
Did the phone make that shutter noise when you took a picture?
I find that noise annoying when using a camera.
thanks!

Even if it does, you can remove it.

With 3rd party software or with a feature that is built-in?
There are countries passing out laws that a camera on a phone must make that noise so people in the area know a photo is being taken. I was just wondering if AT&T Fuze was on that list.

if the phone is on silent it wont or im sure you can do a tweak or registry change anyway

all right, thanks!
A friend of mine got the nokia n82 with a 5 MP camera. The problem that he finds with it is that the camera makes that noise through the speaker when he takes a picture with it. Even when his phone is on silent or when his headphones are plugged in. I don't think he's found a tweak for it yet.
I was just wondering if it was the same with the Fuze. If anyone who has it can confirm it, it will be greatly appreciated.

when "Joe" toke the picture for the business card it did make a flash sound. though i dont know if the feature can be turned off. but like posted before im sure someone here will be able to fix that no prob.
and on a side note has anyone got any new on the android OS working on the fuze.

Woah... I was unaware of this. The ATT Fuze is dark red in color? As in, not black but dark red or is that optional?

Damn, just googled Milford, CT, and it would be an hours drive... Guess I'll have to wait until release to play with the Fuze
P.S. To the guy with the camera questions, every HTC phone that I know of has had the option to turn off the camera sound...

That's the same question I was about to ask. When you say dark red, do you mean as in the Blackjack II?

yes i do mean a dark red like the black jack II. it was ruby, dark burgundy color. i maybe mistaken cause i was blinded by the sole fact that i has the phone in my hand. lol
ill probably go look at i again this weekend or today. but i dont want to seem like that weird customer that comes in and never buys anything. i work sales and i hate that BS. lol

Well there are two reasons I would prefer the numbers. First of all, it's more like an actual computer keyboard. That would make it more comfortable and normal feeling - at least in theory. Second - and more importantly - I type numbers more often than I type symbols. Having the convenience of not needing to press the function key would be very nice.
I suppose it could go either way though. I'm definitely going to try out the keyboard before I buy, and I'll likely try out the Sprint version (or unlocked HTC version, if I can get my hands on one for a few minutes without purchasing it) also just to make sure. With a fifth row, I'm sure it's an improvement over the four rows on my Tilt no matter which configuration though, so it's not even close to a deal breaker. Just a little disappointment.
Out of curiosity, why would you prefer symbols? I really can't think of a reason why they would be better than numbers, so I'm wanting to know from someone who has that opinion.

i think most people don't mind the number PAD because you can press Fn twice to do a number lock. And since the numbers are grouped together, theoretically it's easier to type series of numbers...ie. phone number
i didn't like the fact that 5th row # was removed (they added that 5th row for THAT REASON!), but then I can see other people's point as well...oh well, i've come to accept that fact, as long as Fuze doesn't make us wait any longer

Loose hard buttons?

First post, I have searched but didn't find anything on this in the forum. So I received my Fuze yesterday via mail from AT&T and I have been playing with it and it is a great device. I have noticed that on my Fuze the hard buttons on the bottom seem to move around on the right hand side as if they were loosely connected. I have made a youtube video to show this movement and I am wondering if this is normal for the Fuze/Touch Pro or if mine may be defective. Thanks for any help in advance and I will certainly be using this forum for lots, good community you have here.

16 views and noone can verify if their Fuze also has loose keys on the bottom? I thought this one would surely get a quick response since it is so simple.
I just want to know if I should not worry about it or if I should consider sending it back before I start to get into flashing ROMs and whatnot. It very well could be that this is just the way it was designed but I have no idea.

Mine also does it. Never payed attention until you pointed it out. Not too worried about it though.

I'm also not too worried about it myself but just wondering if that is something standard with the device or if only some of them do it? Thanks for the response.

This is certainly faulty. My TP keys move a little bit, but not that much. I am sure yours is buggy. But... I think it is not getting worse because the movement is limited by the frame

My TyTNII/TIlt did the same thing and HTC said this was normal. I just hope they don't decide to make a car, the wheels would fall off any they would tell you it was normal.

I did end up sending a message to HTC to see what they had to say. I'll inform if i get a response.

I've had 4 units, all of them did it but one, and that one had a pad piece that was such a tight fit that it rubbed on the bottom of the screen when you pressed the home or back button. They all seem to be slightly different sizes.
When you buy HTC, don't examine too closely or you'll always be disappointed.

My HTC Fuze (AT&T) does not have loose key on the bottom.

my Fuze is rock solid. It is a perfect fit, sturdy, and held in place.
Looks like your touchpad has a broken screw hole or missing a screw entirely. I definatly wouldn't be satisified with that.

I have checked 2 and both had the loose button panel

HTC responded with:
Thank you for sending your email inquiry about your device.
I understand you have an HTC Fuze with AT&T service and your device may have loose buttons on the right side. I know that this situation can be frustrating when your device buttons do not perform the way you expect. If you suspect the buttons are loose, you should contact AT&T about this issue. They maybe able to exchange or replace the device for you.
Robert, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

So I went to the AT&T Store to talk to one of them and to check the phone there and that display phone had the loose buttons. I am going to try to check the rest of the stores. I am going to hang onto mine as it really isnt an issue and I still have the warranty if something goes wrong. Still I would like to get this poll filled out as it is now an interesting thing to me.

I bought mine on 1/27 and it is loose on the right side too

I went through three Fuzes for various different problems. The one I have now has an uneven lower button area...the left side facing up is higher than the right which causes a sharp corner. I was just happy it wasnt worse. If you compare the build quality to the sprint's touch pro there is no comparison, the sprint version is solid, every one I've handled has felt well built and had no problems like this.

Mine does exactly the same, had it for a week, but only noticed it yesterday. Probably not quite as bad as the video tho....
My Kaiser also does it but i'm not worried out that as the button pad is 'encapsulated' by the cover and doesn't any where near like the TP. The other thing I'm not too keen on is the hard qwerty keyboard doesn't feel as robust as my kaiser one either.
This is must disconcerting as I look after my phones really well.....

[Q] Always seem to hit the . (period) when I type...

I've owned an LG Optimus 7 since Nov. 2010 -- so I was an early adopter. My wife has had her LG Optimus 7 since May 2011.
Anyhow, the issue is with the on-screen keyboard. Does anyone else seem to get the . (period) far too frequently when they're typing? I thought it was just me and my typing style, but it happens to my wife as well. I then figured it was just an issue with the LG Optimus 7 -- screen size, screen type, or whatever -- but my friend has the same problem with his Samsung Focus. I guess we're not alone.
Strange thing is...it seems to be getting worse. I'm quite good with the on-screen keyboard, but I'll hammer out a quick text message and have it look like:
This is my.text message. How.did I.do?
It's a real hassle to fix all the time. I'm trying to figure out if the software has changed during the various builds, or if my typing style has somehow morphed. I'm not sure.
Anyone else see this issue too?

Accidently double-hitting the spacebar?

Just be more careful when typing, don't try to type on it like a real keyboard. Use the suggestions and a slower more steady pace and text will get entered faster than actually trying to type.

Nope. Double-hitting the spacebar would NOT give you the test sentence that I showed you. It would place a period, then a space, and then finally capitalize the next word.

Thanks, but I already try to do that. Also, it doesn't change the fact that multiple WP7 users I know run into the same issue *and* that it's gotten worse over the past year + (and more so over the last 6 months), which makes me think that it's in-part due to software changes within the phone OS.

I am at the same situation when i try to type fast / not looking at the keyboard at all. I don't know but i hit the period a lot when i actually want to hit the spacebar button.

Thank you, thank you, thank you... for letting me know that I'm NOT TOTALLY CRAZY!
Interestingly enough, I was talking with a co-worker about it (he's got an HD7, so a much larger screen) and he's seen the issue too. He actually hits the spacebar with his left-thumb now, instead of his right -- and, of course, doesn't hit the . button.
Might have to try that.
Have you noticed whether or not this has gotten worse for you over the past 6 months, though? I would think I'd be better at typing now than I was last summer -- or whenever. Doesn't seem to be the case. It's almost like they increased the "hit field" around the . key or something... like folks were missing it and this was a "fix".
Hmmmm.

I don't know, bro.
last year i had HD7 and i had quite a long time to get used to the keyboard in order to type fast and correct without looking too much in the keyboard. Actually, in last year summer, some of my friends were actually surprised on the speed that i reply to them on the phone.
But i have HTC Titan now, which has larger ketboard than HD7 and the same issue is happening to me, but yeah, you should be fine after a while.
Keep your mind in it for a little bit, and your brain will register that point to stop moving your thumb in order to hit the spacebar button.
Cheer.

I have the same problem and yes it has gotten worse. I have the problem on my Focus (4") my Lumia 800 (3.7") and my HD2 (4.3") it's my fat right thumb, I think the reason it has gotten worse it that I have gotten more lazy with my typing. When I first got a WP I was comming from an iPhone so I typed slower to make sure I got everything right, but now i'm more comfortable with the WP keyboard and as such more sloppy.

if you have any other keyboard/language selected there will be a key between space and the period. maybe that will solve your problem.

That's certainly possible...I guess. Really difficult to say. You would guess that although you may get more lazy with your typing, you'd also get more accurate. It's also interesting that you've seen the same issue on (3) phones with different screen sizes. I would've thought that a larger screen would have resolved it. I guess not

Slider is loose

Hey guys, can you tell me if your slider is loose or gives way a bit?
When holding my phone if you press on the left side of the screen, you can feel the screen bounce back a little. it definitely gives some way when you press down.
when holding the phone on it's side and pressing down, you can see the sandwich gap shift by 1 mm or so. Not much shifting much at all, but I have noticed this. The side with the camera shutter is flush. No movement or give at all. Just wondering if this is normal or mine is coming loose.
I'm hesitant about sending my phone in to HTC again, because I'll have to pay for shipping charges again, not mention unroot, etc. And i don't want them to flash the latest OTA on it either.
Since this is a mechanical hardware issue, can I send it in and request they don't mess with my software or root?

HTC policy is to flash the most recent software to the device before it leaves the factory, so if sending a device in you should always expect it to be on the most recent software package when you get it back.
When the most recent OTA is paused like the one currently is, it's a gamble, some people do get reflashed, some people don't.
Requesting that they not mess with your software won't get you far at all, and you'd be better off not mentioning it & just dealing with whatever you get when you get it back.

My screen isn't flush like your saying on either side, if I look close enough I can see all the way through. I have dropped this thing a few times on some pretty solid surfaces, and it has yet to show a sign, I wouldn't worry none about it G

Uh oh! I recently switched over here from the MT3GS because of it's issues with the screen mounting and the ribbon cable disconnecting. I hope this doesn't become an epidemic!
Edit: I realize I didn't respond to your question. My MT4GS is rock solid. When I had to send in my MT3GS for a similar issue (with bonus screen ribbon cable disconnection) I didn't have the chance to unroot. I was very lucky that they didn't try to call "warranty voided", and they didnt update my software either! I consider myself extremely lucky. Assume the worst in situations like this.

This is the first I've heard of such a problem with this particular device. No epidemic

Though it could be that the phones are finally getting older, I'm more tempted to agree with you. I guess I was sensationalizing.

Eh. *Maybe*
That crossed my mind as well.
