I've had my touch pro for nearly two weeks now. I'm liking it a lot.
Now, in my unfortunate hamfistedness, I've managed to drop it. Didn't seem like it'd caused much of a problem.
But I've noticed that the front screen 'wobbles' a bit. Not much, and not enough to be particularly annoying, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to tighten it up again, so it stopped doing that?
Mine has done this from new.
With the device in your right hand with screen facing up the slide part of the screen wobbles on the left side.
Annoying.
Well, I must confess I didn't notice whether it did or not initially, so I'm only assuming it didn't.
It's pretty trivial, and doesn't really affect anything, but ... well, would rather it didn't, really

ok....mine too... but it seems most sliders have that. it was very tight the first few days, but after quite some sliding the screen is slightly off center to the right shifted. and it wobbles a bit.
my kaiser had the same issue....but i had to drop that one for that...
I too have the same problem. was wondering if one of the cases that has the keyboard cover would prevent this wobble or some sort of skin. Thanks and sorry for bringing back such an old thread.

After the squeaking back cover of the Touch Dual, another noisy HTC unit ! At least my test unit it seems...has anyone else noticed that when you tap at the top of the screen, say the x box, when you let it go there is a noise of something coming unstuck/unglued ?
If you swipe your thumb from let to right applying some gentle pressure it is event more obvious. Anyone else or is my screen maybe not properly glued on...
I listened really closely, and the only sound I could detect was my oily finger coming off the screen! You may have a defective unit because I don't seem to detect the problem you are talking about. Hope this helps!
Yes, thanks, will need to take it back then, just my luck !
You did apply some moderate pressure didn't you ? It's particularly noticeable around the loudspeaker and camera openings. Or it maybe static I'm hearing, doubt it since I don't have the noise at the bottom of the screen.
GpsPasSion
i tried several times but there's no noise.
Maybe u should check it with HTC or the store where u got it?
I
I have the same problem. On the top of the screen only
Rather annoying isn't it ? I have it on the sides a bit too, it seems to be worse when the screen is hot. Possibly the joint between the "touch" screen and the frame.
I guess I'll take it back but I think the guys are going to look at me "sideways" over there ;-) It seems to me the quality of HTC phones has been going down a bit lately, prices stay high though. I wonder if all the Cruise devices aren't going to develop that problem over time...
Hi,
I've got a similar problem. It also happens when I firmly press X, but the noise comes from the back cover (the antenna-box ) and it's because the back cover (top, not the battery cover) is not stuck tight enough (left side, so right side if you're looking from the front). Annoying? Maybe. Deffective? Not really I'll live with it
i have the same issue with the screen, i have done about 20 minutes of "up close and personal" tapping, pushing, etc and it is definately the screen...
not so worrying right now, BUT if it is loose now, how will it be in a few months.
i had this same problem when buying a Nokia a while back, I went through 4 of them sitting in the store and they all had the same problem, so i gave up and bought a different phone.
i wonder how Devicewire will handle this? as i really dont want to, nor can i be without the phone for too long, but obviously i dont want a faulty unit.
Devicewire if you are listening out there can you advise?
So it seems there are a few of us with that issue, on mine it definitely comes from the front part, not the back. I think I'll take it back and try another one, if it has the same problem I'll pass on the Cruise and get a refund, it really isn't very acceptable to have that type of problem on a €500+ device ! I don't remember reading about any such problems with the Touch or Touch Dual, HTC must have skimped on the glue this time around!
I have triesd to reproduce the screen problems, but I do hear anything at all.
Overall I really like the device, notwithstanding the slightly slow graphics when watching video (although MUCH better than my old Samsung SCH-i730).
T
I have it too. I noticed it after putting on the screenprotecor...and i'm suspecting it has somthing to to with it. The protector is really stiff so it may just be it making that noise....in my case at least...
That might come into play I guess, but mine really had a problem, I took it back to the shop and I had a hard time getting the guys to acknowledge it, but one of them had his own Cruise and when I pressed on the side there was no squeaking at all so that sealed the deal. Unfortunately they had no spare unit so I had to settle for a voucher...
I too have been experiencing the same from the top of the screen after long use It´s a pain, as I am really happy with the Polaris but for the money you´d expect better. I removed the screen protector to see if that was the problem but the sound is still there. It only goes away after the screen has been off for a while.
I have spoken to the shop where I bought it but they said I should get in touch with HTC, however if a lot of devices have the same problem hardly seems worth sending it away....
Anyone else have the same problem???

I Have the same problem but it comes from the screen protector, cuz I get some air between the screen and the protect.
OK... but the problem I have is definately not related to the screen protector as it´s still there without it.
No squeaks at all on the Orbit 2 - I wonder if it's confined to the TC case?
I've got the same squeeking thing with the screen, but it really isn't critical. What is really annoying is the knocking sound that the volume slider produces when shaked or just given a little finger punch. What do you guys say?Is yours fixed tight?
Same problem here. But it takes my mind off what the wife's saying when I'm on the phone to her!
Having the squeaking too, as most of you its still there without the protector
anybody get any noises from the d-pad? whenever i press left, it makes a double click (the standard click when you press in any direction, but after that, it seems to stick a little and click again as if it's sticking to something when i press down, then unsticks and makes a click when that happens). it's bugging the crap out of me and it only does it when i press left. if i press left hard, it stops doing it for 30 seconds or so.. it's not as if i spilled soda or anything on it and it is brand spanking new..
Hi all,
I'm just getting to grips with my device (actually the 2nd one as the first was returned due to early possible sound issues).
One thing I've noticed is that the slide is possibly softer/looser on the 2nd one.
On mine, I have to hold it carefully otherwise it opens out slightly when I'm listening/speaking. Hope that makes sense!
Could I ask - when other people hold their phone to there ear/put their hand around the handset does the keyboard move slightly or is the slide firm enough to stop this?
Mine has also a slight movement... but it seems to be ok.
The keyboard needs a little room, so that it dos not break at a eventually shock

Thanks for the reply: I should clarify though (my post is maybe not very clear).
The movement is such that it starts to slide out slightly when I`m holding it upright during calls (imagine if you were holding a HTC Diamond without a keyboard). Under these circumstances the keyboard displaces slightly.
If the slide mechanism was firmer/harder to push this wouldn't happen - just wanted to check if it's normal (don't want to return my 2nd handset in 2 days!
I was never aware of it (which means its not an issue).... but yes, it slides slightly .......i think this is normal.....
Mine is quite loose, but I guess it is fine as long as it doesn´t get worse. But it is really disturbing when you are holding it, and the device is ******* expensive so HTC could have done it better...
Mhhh.. funny. Isn't the keyboard supposed to be springloaded?
Same issue with my ol'faithful hermes then...
Wonder if X1 is springloaded....
Thanks all.
Clearly it's a "design feature" and mine isn't broken....

I couldn't have phrased it better, mine felt exactly like this. A slight bit of wiggle room, if you will, so it's not rigid... But I never had any worries of the durability of the slide.
So I just wanted to compare with others on here to see if the small hinge flex that I have is normal.
I tool a quick video so we can discuss differences.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfiRhNkkZiE
Just to clarify...I'm looking for any responses as to whether or not this is normal or more than you currently have.
I never would have noticed it otherwise, but my Fuze has exactly the same amount of movement yours does in the video. Looking at how the slider works it makes sense that it can tilt a little on that edge. I'm pretty sure it's normal.
Thanks for the confirmation. I just wanted to be sure of everything within the first 30 days since it's expensive
Just picked mine up on Friday and it has the same amount of flex. Suppose it's normal or within the normal limits.
Exact same as mine.
Yep same as mine here. Mine is slightly messed up though. Mine slides back too much and the top section does not properly align with the bottom section. A little annoyance but not enough to take it back, especially after all I've done to it.
Same flex
Yep, my fuze has the same flex, and I've been obsessively careful with it since I got it 5 days ago.
I dont have that play wit mine. i'm sure if i stick something like a knife under the screen it will but as far as with my hand, Na

Hmm, that's odd. It's almost impossible to have 0 play in a slider type device since the surface area where the slider attaches is so small. Even my tilt has 1-2mm of it. Oh well, good for you
my sprint pro has about the same, maybe slightly less, but there is some play.
Also see:
Touch Pro wobbly keyboard issue
Rather than get into a long story...I'll just say I ended up getting a new Fuze and it does not have the flex I displayed in the original video.
Guess it's hit or miss.
ya i have the same wobble in my fuze.. seems shady since my tilt seems much more solid.. i may go exchange it as well
UPDATE: i went to the at&t store and compared my fuze to the display model and another one they pulled from the back, and mine had a lot more wobble than theirs (mine had as much as the OP's). Needless to say, i exchanged it out... now to put all my settings back...
My first fuze was extremely 'wobbly' - 2nd fuze was less so. 3rd one was perfect. There's a specific level of tolerance before they let these out of the factory, btw. You can find the exact value in mm in the service manual..
ya this was my 3rd one as well i guess third times the charm
I've noticed that the ones that aren't as tight have nicer feeling slide mechanisms. Mine seems to be somewhere in the middle.
for me the most annoying thing was that when i pressed down on the left side of the screen i could feel the whole screen moving up and down. it gave it a real cheap feeling and it just felt very flimsy. so i definately recommend changing it out if ur still within ur 30 day return period.
Greetings human beings,
I have this little issue and was wondering is some of you also have this problem.
When you tap the back side of the phone or you lay it down on a hard surface, the inside of the phone feels a little bit like a spring. it isn't an annoying issue, but it certainly is there.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Yeah tap on bottom right on the back. You will feel that spring . May be the vibration motor. But annoying yes

Yep, just like what my old Galaxy S3 did.

I can confirm this. I hadn't noticed until you just mentioned it. Doesn't bother me but it is likely the vibration motor.

I don't find this an issue I just see this as some random little thing you picked to complain about it's not even noticable unless you point it out
Has anyone had an issue with their screen popping when you unlock the phone? It's almost like the top layer of glass is separating from the next layer down. I only hear it when I'm unlocking the phone with the in-screen fingerprint reader.... especially if I exaggerate it by putting as much ofy thumb surface on as possible.
It seems cosmetic at this point, but I'm worried it will get worse. I've babied the phone. Hardly ever out of its case, never dropped, etc.

Similar enough thread here, seems to be an occurring problem at this rate. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/screen-lift-t3931057
Thanks. I searched. Not sure how I didn't find that. Wondering if I should call them. I would only want to exchange if they would cross-ship. Never had to send a phone back to them before. Guess it's worth calling/chatting with them.

I did. They'll cover it, but I have to send it back. I fought with them for an hour about it... trying to get an exception to the process (ie: cross-ship/replace). They wouldn't budge.

That's a pity. Well at least they're taking it back. Hopefully it's a quick process.
