I know that the stylus is now held into the Sprint TP magnetically, but it is so loose. I've only had the phone for 24 hours and already, I've slightly bumped the stylus whilst talking on the phone only to have it fall out and slide across the room. Who's bright idea was it to have it held in by WEAK magnets? I never had a problem with the stylus falling out with ANY of the 5 HTC devices I've owned in the past.
I wonder if that's a problem with the Sprint version, or even that particular handset... I have a Vodafone UK TP and have no issues whatsoever with the stylus, in fact, I reckon it's the best implementation of a stylus slot I've seen yet.
It's very secure on mine, yet very easy to remove with a gentle push. I tried just now to shake it out, with quite some force, but it wouldn't budge.

Same here with the Fuze. Maybe the OP got a bad unit?
never had the problem, but i did had a unit that has problem with the megnetic latch that was suppose to sense the stylus goin in or out. The latch basically came out of its place and was blocking my stylus from going into the slot at specific angles, I was lucky enough to get a replacement from my service provider. However i did prefer the older stylus sitting method. Had my htc touch for a year plus and still thinks that is much more practical.
No problem here with the HTC TP, the magnet seems to hold the stylus well...I accidentally dropped my TP yesterday when trying to answer a call , the phone was split into 3 parts (battery, cover and the rest)..... the funny thing is that the stylus was still in place .....
Jesus...!!! I hate those ppl who are that careless to drop their £500 phones...

ouch! that hurts to read.
Hm... my stylus seems to be very good placed. nver had a issue with it. Of course, I did not made the accidentally drop down device test yet...
After I try this metod too, I will report back (loool)!!!!!
Ok guys... I got your message.... I will be very...very careful next time ....
Today, my keypad broke between the green and the red phone button.
It's the tiny small connection on the absolute bottom of the keypad.
This is the second time this broke. Does anyone else has this same experience? Could this be happened by mis-use or is it just a weak point?
And if I send my phone to a service point, should I flash it with the default firmware or can I leave the custom "fast" firmware?
mine has broken thrice because of my ruff use..
I used superglue and it looks just like it was before..
i feel this is the best method other than replacing the keypad.

"Mine has broken 3 times because of misuse... I stick it with a <<fevi>> (I don't know what that is) stick and it lasts a long time.. that's the best method according to me"
Except for the "fevi" word it seems that this guy actually has a solution
Fevistick is a brand of instant superglue. only a drop is required(that too a small one). the drop dries in seconds...

Okay, thanks. Now I understand the whole story....
the 'fevi-stick' bit was too good maybe we ought to stick to generic brands like 'superglue'
anyways, i never had this problem ... been using the phone since 7 months now.
Me too...
Well I had that experience too. I almost lost my call button because of this. The Fevi-stick is the best option(other than replacing the keypad).

Here You have keyboards for 5.99$

Never Broken Key
Never had the problem, using for Nearly one year now, TOUCH WOOD!
BTW: better flash it with the original ROM, you know OEMs, they just need an excuse to avoid giving you warranty!
I also had the same problem and as said "mrushabh", bonds with an instant glue called Araldite and is working so far.
Good luck!!!
on my qwertykeypad my 'd' button stopped working. i have2 press it real hard in order 2 type a 'd' my 'space' is also now starting 2 give this problem.
s710 isn't put together that well
Unrelated comment but it seems the s710 isn't put together that well. I dropped mine once (while the protected cover was fitted) and the navigation buttons stopped working. Send it to the shop only to find the motherboard has cracked.. The second drop caused the whole qwerty keypad to come apart.
I guess there is no way to truly protect your phone.. Unless you bubble wrap it.
On my phone, the SD cover no longer fits (it expanded).
My keyboard also cracked in the middle. Sticked it with glue too.
And the grey polish on the answer button is off too.
One more thing, the sliding mechanism no longer stays in place.
Other than that, it`s a nice phone.
disassemble keypad
Hi,
I want to change nummeric keypad with new one and I read service manual. They show on the picture how to do disassemble total phone. But if I only want to replace keypad, is it necessary to open mobile case, or is it enough, to pull keypad in upper direction like on the photo (see attached picture) ?
Has anyone experience in replacing keypad ?

HTC, I WANT A DIFFERENT PHONE! THIS ONE SUX!
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.....

Other issues though.
Yep, mine has just started to do this
not as severe as yours
my doesn't
I have a HTC Fuze and just today as I was talking to somebody I just met, I pull out my phone to see a key from my keyboard missing and now I have to push my phone so it actually slides open or closed (which was embarrassing to say the least). Just before it was as smooth as sliding on ice and now its all hard like when you rub a rock against the pavement. My theory is that the key got stuck somewhere in there somehow and now its causing all this trouble. Has anyone had this experience before? Warranty/Insurance its not an option as the screen has deep scratches and Im out of insurance replacements.
I will post pics later.
Thanks
Hmmm I know I have seen a site that explains how to remove the top part of your phone from the slider. I don't know how tech-savvy you are, but this can be don without damaging the system I think. Note me saying can be done. I think you are going to need a special screwdriver and a good guide, but that part is up to you, 12

I took apart my last fuze... I ended up jacking it up. You cannot just remove the the top part from the slider without taking the bottom part apart (im really sure about this) but can I have that link to the site you are talking about?

I managed to fix it after I broke the spring that covers up the flex cable (and now u can see the darn ugly flex cable) but it turns out it was stuck under the screen. I took one of the corner screws on the back off and lifted off the keyboard on that corner which gave me enough space to run my flat screwdriver thru and got the key out. I super-glued the key back on and I have my phone back! Yay! Thanks!
EDIT: The super-glued key is not springy anymore. Its kinda really soft but it works (its the useless AT&T/Cingular Video key anyways... who cares?)

Does anyone else have loose home button on their phone? It makes noises when you lightly tap on it and doesn't sound too good. I've also went to the T-Mobile store today and noticed my home button is more flush than the both display models they had. Anyone else face the same issue?

If it feels off go in and have them pull out a brand new one. When there in store. If yours feels off, have it replaced! I do this with any new phone. I tediously inspect it. If I think something feels off I have them show me a new one and compare. That way I can show them right then and there, this is why you're going to give me another phone lol

I have a feeling my front glass is slightly misaligned. Will be checking the store model to make sure, as the corner by the back button seems a bit sunken in. The frame definitely comes up over the glass a little.
I was just in the Samsung Experience Store and noticed that of the four regular S6s they had, three had loose homebuttons. The Edges seemed fine though.
My t mobile version is a bit loose as well. It feels like a minor issue but it is pretty annoying....
I picked up my S6 this morning and have noticed that a light tap on the home button makes a noise. It's annoying and it makes an otherwise solid feeling, quality phone feel cheap. I guess I'll try taking it back to see if I can get another one that doesn't have this issue.
The frame is suppose to slightly overlap the screen by the way
I actually returned my T mobile version for another, and the other has the exact same loose button
Well i noticed it after you guys wrote about it here. I have a S6 32Gig White, a friend has a S6 64gig Black version, i checked his S6 and he doesn't have this issue.
But honestly, it is not like i tap on the button all the time, you can only hear it if you slightly tap on it. If you fully press it, you don't even hear it. It is also not like it makes any sounds when moving the phone, therefore i am not going through all the pain to get this replaced just to receive another one with a loose button

Yeah, if I didn't have this Edge without the issue it might not bother me so much
I went back to the T-Mo store and their display model had it. One of the guys opened another one up for me and it too was affected. I ended up walking out with the phone I had. Not gonna make them open a bunch of boxes until they find one that doesn't. At this point the ratio makes it seem like the loose button is normal and any that aren't are the odd ones. Ah well.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps I'll keep mine for a while and deal with it then swap? Wait on a different production run or something.
Mine is nice and tight, but already scratched up. I mean my fingers are rough but jeez. Some soft material on there.

Well i was wrong about it not bothering me It started annoying me after you guys wrote about it...
I went to a T-Mobile store to check if the devices had the same problem, and yes 2 of them had, 1 did not...
Dunno if it is worth to send it back now and wait up to 6 days to receive a replacement that has probably the same issue -.-
P.s. After pressing the button down very hard a few times, the right side stopped making noises, the mid now also seems to be fine, it can only be heared if touching the very left side of the button...
Same issue here. The left side of the home button rattles a little bit when i press lightly on it. Should i exchange or is it normal?
