First of all I'm not talking about the sound the phone makes when you slide it out. As in the software one, the when that only works if the phone is on.
There's a window on the back of the phone which you can slide only if the keyboard is out. Look at the picture.

When I slide the keyboard out, the section of plastic seems to grip and so it will make a clicking sound when it springs back to cover the insides. Look at picture
The window wont slide into place when I slide the keyboard out. It just stays there until the spring has enough force to pull it, which makes a loud click *shhhk
Does anyone know how to fix this?
bump. please
Pretty sure that the spring is actually supposed to be connected to that piece of plastic - I moved mine a little bit with my keyboard open; looks like this is just a protector for the ribbon cable.
Perhaps since you can see the spring in your pic, it's come loose somehow? Sorry I don't have any further insight - perhaps someone who has replaced a screen / keyboard may have further insight.
The spring on mine is connected to the piece of plastic. The problem is the window doesn't slide close when I slide the keyboard out. Instead it stays half open until I slide the keyboard out further, then the window snaps close making a annoying sound.
On your phone if you slide the window back can you see the spring?
I'm sorry to bump again. but this is really annoying me.
Can anyone else take a picture of that window when they force it open, as in slid it with your finger.
Also when you slide it out can you ever see the window open at all.
I don't think that's normal what you're experiencing, the not sliding till it's all the way open thing. Call HTC up if it's still under warranty and see what they say. However, mind looks exactly the same if you slide the ribbon protector, you see the spring in mine, but mine looks flat against the ribbon, and curled up tighter than yours is. Mine is a couple months old, perhaps you may have worn the spring loose from usage over time. But the spring shows on mine, albeit flat, and tighter.
Thanks, I bought it off ebay, I dont think its under warranty plus I've already flaSHED IT. I think you're right about the spring.

To start off I am not responsible if you break your phone, do at you own risk.
My device list goes Wizard>8525>Tilt>Fuze. From my previous devices all had the loose Screen/Keyboard and thanks to this forum Ive found ways to correct the problem. I tried this method on my 8525 and worked like a charm so I figured I try it on my Fuze.
step 1.. Open phone then flip, take small screwdriver and very very gently make a small dent in the rail to create friction when the phone is closed. If you look inside the actual rail you will see a small tab and thats where then dent need to be on both sides. see pics

step 2..... do the same on the other side and it should look like this
Again... if you break your phone its not my problem.... not sure how this would affect warranty either.
Ouch, that was hard to watch.

hello,
What exactly is the behavior before this mod? KB sliding open 2 easily? KB wiggling as it slides open? Mine seems to be smooth and solid.
Mine moves a mm or so when closed. This seems a bit too OCD for most, IMO. I figure that if I were that OCD to do this dent and scratch mod, that those dents.scratches would equally drive me nuts.
To each his/her own though. God speed to ya.

My keyboard would also slide solid but was very easy to slide open when closed compared to my tilt. Since it opens opposite to the way the tilt did it would open slightly when I put the phone to my ear.
I say there ol' chap...
that there is certainly
'Ghetto' indeed.
+2 on the huevos part...
That is not ghetto, it is just plain stupid.
I see the discussion for this thread headed nowhere good. I personally wouldn't recommend doing this, but of course it's your phone not mine. The instructions are here, but i'm gonna close this thread.
Ranomly, my stylus won't "slide" into the slot smoothly. It gets half way in and then a lot of pressure is required to push it all the way down. I took the battery out and used a flash light to see any obstructions, but I can't see anything. Am I missing something?
I've just started having the same problem. The stylus gets very tight in it's slot, hard to push in, and even harder to pull out.
I would love to hear if anyone has found the cause of this.

Yeah, it's a real BEYOTCH to pull out. (that's what she said)
I figured out the cause of this when it happened to me a few weeks back.
Take a look at your stylus, you will notice that the plastic end cap can/has pulled(s) away very slightly from the metal base. This, less than a millimeter change, causes it to get caught on the stylus sensor within the holster.
Solution :
Try your backup stylus and see if that slides in fine. That is what worked for me.
No amount of playing with the sensor seemed to fix it.
This happened to me my first week of having the Raphael. It was due to some build up of plastic, or bent plastic at the end of the slot. To fix it I took my stylus and kind of rotated it pushing it outwards along the sides of the stylus slot.

Humm, none of this is working for me. I'm going to try my other stylus, but I'm not sure. I took a bright flashlight and shined it down in the slot and I can't see anything stopping the sytlus from going in smoothly.
there might be the switch for the stylus come out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432014&page=2
maybe that will help?
Yeah, my stylus is getting stuck too within the first week of getting it. I can see where the sensor is supposed to come out, but it doesn't look like there is anything there, so why would it still be getting stuck?
Hi i have to change the touch panel due to a big scratch,anyone here know if i have to disassembly all the phone?Or else someone with a service manual?
My phone was out in the rain for a bit so my digitizer is all messed up. Only thing I can do is touch the bottons on bottom. Not much function in the touchscreen besides that. Have ordered a new digitizer and will hopefully get it by the weekend or next week. Can report back how it goes with the disassembly or have you already done yours? Please give a report on how to do it if that's the case.
I m still waiting for mine from hong kong.look s like someone else had changed the syntetizer in the forum,but i had no reply to my question
Ok. I guess we'll have to wait and see who gets his first. Whoever does though it would be nice with a report on how it went.
Hi i ve received the touch panel,but i tried to disassembly the phone,but i can not get the cover to open.I unscrewed the 5 screws on the rear but the cover is as strong as before.Have you ever tried to disassembly our phone?
And the touchscreen i received it s not the new one but the old engineering example,i think it s the same but i want to try the respone so i can give the seller the positive or negative feedback.The panel differ from the classic one for the acer logo on top right,not at the bottom center,and...there is the trasparent hole near the headphone for the front camera as you can see from this old sample picture

And this is mine
I read in the screen replacement forum. There are two more screws at the left and right sides of battery house.
Hope that helps. The guy in hongkong that sent me the digitizer sent it by registered air mail first but sent another one by EMS so hopefully i'll have it this week.
Ok i ve found the way by myself,it s not so difficult,i ve seen the two screws after...You have only to pay attenction to not force too much the plastics when you try to open the cover and when you try to detach the touch panel.The best way is to use a guitar plectrum and start to open from the bottom right,for the touch you have to go carefully.Now i ask in the forum if they need a guide with high res photos,because i ve taked pictures with my nokia n95
Well I would be really interested in seeing the pictures. Please do share. How's the new touchscreen working out ?
You can see my guide in the general section,maybe will be sticked.The panel is working good,but it seems a little less sensitive than the official oem one.Maybe the engineering sample is a little different.In plus the light from the touch keys is not diffused good,and i have an hole for the front camera,wich is not present in retail s200.But if you go to the guide you can see pictures
I have now changed my digitizer and thanks to your guide it went pretty smooth. Was done in about 10-15 mins. I got the oem one but the buttons on the bottom is diffuse as you said yours was. maybe i can move the white from the old one to make it nices. Probably won't bother though. Don't really find a difference in response from before the change.
I want to get this phone, but I've been hearing of uneven screens on the net. People have been saying the bottom of their screens are popping up. has this happened to anyone?
and also, in this picture,

Is the fact that you can see the light from the bottom of the screen mean that the screen is uneven?

some people have this issue but im not sure if its as severe as in the image...
but mine seems to have a perfect screen
I think I'm having this issue.. where have you read about this?
I'm not sure about this problem, but I noticed that mostly users with Desire S from Asia have the screen popping issue. UK Desires seem to be fine.
From Asia here but no problem with the screen. I think it's random.
No screen mounting issues here on german Desire S.
On the picture it's a reflection on the metal edge.
Hi my first post on XDA but have been skulking about.
I'm in the UK and have had my DS 3 full days perfect no floors and set up with current OS and skinned.
Though day 4 bottom corners lifting by Home and Search keys and also have the smallest gap between unibody and screen near Volume rocker and touch keys, the gap is enough to see back light coming through in the dark/dusk.
Hope this helps i have a new replacement coming first thing tomorrow will report on that with any news.
Ok so brand new replacement handset and i still have these issues the bottom right corner is already showing that it's raised in comparison to the bottom left corner and there is still a visible gap on the left of the screen can see the charge port through this and light still shining through in the right light.
Looks like bad quality control from HTC will be contacting orange in a mo as i'm still in my cooling off period. I am really disappointed Android OS is great for the customisation but this handset seem's to have been rushed in the build quality.
Hope this helps.
I have a friend with this issue.Mine it's ok.
Greece.
Duplicate post sorry.
I have had the nexus 5 for about 6 months now, and i'm starting to notice a part of the glass coming off. The area around the volume buttons to the center of the screen makes a sticking sound when pushed down on, and i can feel it pushing in a little bit. It's most noticeable on the edge directly next to the volume buttons. There are no visible cracks as far as i can tell. Phone works fine besides this. Should I be worried and replace the screen or just let it be? I don't notice it if i don't push down too hard.
Never had this happen to me on a phone before. Thanks!
That definitely shouldn't be happening.

It's not very visible and pictures don't show the problem.
It feels like the glue in that area is just dried up in that area and isn't holding down the screen correctly. but its only a small area so right now its not too big of a deal.

Ask for google support, they will replace it. Mine was losing the back cover letters and google replaced it
Hi all. Wasn't sure if I should reply to this old thread or start my own...
I have a Nexus 5 that's over 2 years old. So no warranty. It looks like my screen is starting to come off in the bottom right corner. I think it's just the glass. Take a look at the attached pic/video and let me know what you think I could/should do. You can see I can move it by pressing on it.

It works fine otherwise. Touch/display etc seems all fine. I don't care about this problem if it stays as-is, but I'm worried it will get worse and come off further.
I'm thinking a bit of super glue would do? .
Thinking the same…
