My captivate is really nice, but my one gripe is the buttons on the bottom. They dont stay lit very long at all and on my phone, I have to press repeatedly to get them to recognize my touch... especially the back button.
Should I exchange my unit or is this typical?
Is there anyway to get them to stay lit longer?
No, you can't get them to stay lit longer.
Go back to your AT&T store and ask to check out several other Captivates and see if the buttons work better. If they do, exchange the phone.
It's even less sensitive if you have a screen protector on it.
but I would rather have a screen protector

I have had my Fuze for about a week and I notice today that the control plate (D-pad, call, end call, etc. buttons) is loosening. I can push the right side (end call and back buttons) up and touches the edge of the screen. The left side is still pretty tight. I am wondering if that much free play on the left is normal or not. All the buttons still work, but kinda worry when this happen on a expensive device after just one week of usage.
I have had 2 and had the AT&T store open up another 2 for me to check. The first one I had for 24 hours and the screen was tight, my new one the screen is loose and the 2 I had them open were loose. I guess its just a trait of the phone.
Thanks for the info. Nothing is perfect I guess.
It seems that lately, when the phone slide is closed, I am able to separate the phone from itself by about 1mm to 1 1/2 mm...seems as if the sliding mech. is losing its hold on the phone (even by a bit)...
when I use the screen to type, I hear it clicking/taping against itself--
anyone else having this situation arise?
Slowly evolving into a tilt here...
Same here, it sucks. I will probably sell it before it is too much and then buy a Touch Pro 2. But Mine is loose on the side where there is no slide (left), it is still strong on the right side.
Mine's still good and pretty snug. I baby it tho. Still wondering for that first drop. I hate dropping my babies. Lol.
yea, mine is doing great,
Ive dropped it a couple of times, yet it still seems as strong as it was when i got it. I also have a snug fitting plastic cover on mine, so that helps it even more.
Service Manual for the HTC Touch Pro/Raphael
Mine got a bit funny too - after it came back from HTC service center for screen replacement. However, I'm planning on dissmanteling my Raph and check for loosen screws.
If you guys wanna give it a try too, I'm attaching a link for official Service Manual for the HTC Touch Pro/Raphael - it's a hardcore, step-by-step how to dissmantle Raphael down to the smallest pieces ....have fun!

i guess if push comes to shove I'll rip this baby apart and see if I need to tighten up some of the lose parts-IF it gets bad.
I baby my phone as well, and have only had it for 4 months.
Eh, if it's put back together, and it works, then that means these extra screws weren't that important to begin with.
First was buggy, now cool
My first fuze made a weird sound but i replaced it and I haven't heard anything from this one
I don't think screws would be the culprit. The slider is on rails isn't it? So the fix would be to bend/tighten/replace the rails?
Mine is getting a little sloppy. I hate having the volume buttons on the top screen portion too. Every time I try to press it, the phone will more apt to try to open then press the button in.
sometimes my sliding mechanism is a bit slow to catch up with the body i.e it can slide out ok, but if you look at the back of the screen when the kb is open, there's a small rectangle i guess where the ?cables go. sometimes mine stays there for a few seconds, then goes down. if this makes sense to people.

Hi,
I've had my Nexus S for less than 4 weeks, and I just noticed today that the top right corner of the screen seems to have some give when you press on it. It apparently just started happening now... Anyone else have this issue with their phone? I'm wondering if I should just run to Best Buy and have them exchange the phone for me before it's too late...
Thanks,
Mike
I don't have that problem with mine but in your case looks like you might have to take that trip to best buy
Sent from my Nexus S
if you look at it, does the surface of the top corner part raised a bit compared to the other corners or sides?
I ask because I tried to press gently on the corners and also the sides and there's a very slight give. It maybe because of the type of screen (plastic?) causing the give when pressed?
yeah it appears to be ever so slighlty raised, and has a very slight give...
any word on if this is normal? I have the same issue with the bottom capacitive side....it is noticeably lose sometimes, I can push it then it becomes tight...then the capacitive buttons wont work unless I turn off the screen then turn it back on.
My 2 week old Nexus S just started doing this. It feels like the screen is attached with glue and the screen has separated from the frame. I can press on it and it sticks for a moment, but if press a minute later it clicks again.
My phone had the same problem.. Upper right screen was lifting ever so slightly. I was passed my thirty days so i couldn't bring it back to bestbuy. My only option was to send it to samsung for repair. The problem was that they had it for almost three weeks and when i got it back the screen was still lifting up. I had to send it back out and almost three weeks later (again) i got it back and it was fixed. They ended up replacing the PBA. Not exactly sure what that is but the phone is fixed.
Woke up this morning, check texts on my G which works fine, pocket it (front left pocket, screen facing my leg, nothing else in there, loose fitting pants), go to work, check it about an hour later, can't undo my screen lock, touch screen is acting all wonky, I'm not even touching it and I keep seeing wrong input over and over... so I turn it off and back on, but I still can't use the touch controls on the left part of the screen (the left and center row of the lock screen doesn't respond, the right most one does, and the very bottom emergency calls does).
So I carefully inspect my phone, there is not a single mark on the screen, bezel, back-plate... the phone is in pristine condition, I take good care of my electronics (or so I thought). I start checking the screen against a light at various angles and on the bottom, slightly under the lock screen dots, I see a very thin line under the glass but above the screen, starting at one edge and going about halfway across. Like the touch sensor is partly cracked, but nothing else is?
So I was wondering, does this count as physical damage? I don't see how it could. As I said, the phone is pristine and I can't imagine how I could have damaged the touch sensor without leaving a mark on the glass, bezel or screen.
But I'm still worried that Futuretel, which is where the Motorola people are telling me to send the phone will call it physical damage and have me fork over 150$ for a repair I could do myself for 50~60.
And I would do it, had I actually broken my phone... But I didn't, so I don't feel I should pay for this at all.
On previous S phones, there was an option to turn on sensitive screen. In my s7, there is no such option but it seems like it's turned on. It registers touch even if I don't touch screen (from 1-2 millimeters away). It's so annoying.
Plus, it registers my nails as touch, s6 wasn't like this.
Anyone find this annoying as well?
I'm rooted, maybe there is a way to adjust it.. Please let me know if so.

I'm having the same issue. If I put the phone in my pocket with the screen on it registers touches from the fabric of my pocket. I've never had a phone register touches to that extreme. Screen is very sensitive. I keep hitting the back button also which is really easy to fix and pisses me off Samsung hasn't done it yet.
It took a few days for me to get use to the extra sensitivity vs Nexus5x. Keep using it and you won't notice after few days.
I have the regular s7 and the sensitivity is driving me nuts too. I keep bursting photos since the camera thinks I'm still pressing down when I lift my finger up. Using the phone in general makes the phone have a seizure. I hold the phone with my left hand and scroll with my right, but I can't grip the phone without the fleshy palm bit under my thumb and my fingertips touching the screen since the bezel is so thin. This makes the phone go crazy since so many parts are being touched at the same time. If I change the way I hold my phone in any way, I know I will drop the phone, especially since my hands are small.
I'm waiting for a case to be shipped to me, so hopefully that will help stop my fingertips and palms from touching the screen during general use.
Still, this is a problem.
I too have noticed that the sensitivity of the capacitive buttons (mainly the back button) is waaayyyyyy too high. I'm finding that when my thumb isn't even touching it, but just hovering over it, that it activates the back button. Also, when scrolling through pages, I've noticed ghost button presses of the back button.
The only thing I agree with here in touching the screen while gripping it.
None of the other stuff at all. Not even a tiny bit.
If you can press buttons and control the screen without touching it you are part way through your padawan training.

Capacitive buttons are OK, only screen sensitivity is too high for me. Strange.
