Reboots after small drops

I just got my sensation and am loving it!
Unfortunately I discovered the phone is very sensitive to shocks / dropping. I've dropped it from my laptop which is just a few centimeters, after some other small drops it reboots itself.
Is it just my phone or is it a common problem?

Not on mine... I dropped mine 24 inches high but no reset... Dropped a couple of times... Just make sure the battery is secure in its place.... If the battery is loose that might be the problem. Make sure the back cover is not loose too...

I tried to reproduce it and it seems to happen when it lands flat on the screen. Dropped from 3cm / 1 inch so loose battery seems unlikely.

If batt is loose u can use paper and fold it to pinch it between the body and the battery. I had a sidekick years ago where the spring inside the sd card holder broke. Glued paper to the case and it held it in place.

Just exchange it while its still early.... Must be the parts inside...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats

yeah probably something wrong with your phone, I hate to say this.. but I'd exchange incase. I've dropped mine (only once ever) about 5 feet high

Ive never dropped a phone (will today since im saying this) except a mytouch 4g white on launch day walking out of tmobile. Screen shattered. They replaced it thank god.

I've contacted the shop and I can exchange it for a new one

Atrix 2 squeaky loudspeaker?

Hi all
My loudspeaker squeaks at volumes 50% and higher. Even when the phone is ringing with the default att tone.
Coming from many motophones, I can say loud tones have never been a problem, so I didn't expect it.
Am I the lucky one, or what?
Thank you

No problems here.

did you check your equalizer settings? might be related to that.

I disabled the equalizer altogether, IIRC. I'll check.
The sound it makes is like when a dust grain gets trapped somewhere in the speaker... plastic vibrating from the sound waves. Just the "blip" the phone does when turning up volume is enough to trigger it.

did you try to take the back cover off and then play a sound again? is it still there then? if so then you might have a damaged speaker membrane, if its ok without back cover then you might have a damaged back cover that vibrates while playing music etc. does this problem also occur while talking over speaker?

Yeah it's still there, only if I seal the speaker with the finger it goes away somewhat, but the high frequency whine is still there.
I guess there's no easy way to repair it, like, say, blowing some compressed air near it?

It can clearly be heard while in speakerphone, but it's not as bothering (due to spkrphone voice lacking in low freqs).

sounds like the speaker membrane is whether damaged or dirt or whatever is under the speaker cover. i would advise to have it checked. or exchange the phone. doing it yourself with compressed air is one thing but you might damage it more and they might then refuse to exchange or fix it under guarantee terms. hope this helps.

Damn, can't return it
Guess I have to put up with it

well try and have it checked in a repair shop. maybe its really just something underneath the speaker case. they should have the right tools : -)
Sent from my ME865 using XDA App

I disabled the sound effects (which btw I had left turned on for the external speaker) and the squeaking is reduced to bearable levels, at least for the ringtone. Thanks for the tip.

no problem.

Micro usb port on the HOX

Is anyone elses micro USB port a little wiggly?... By the way im talking about the port on the actual phone itself. I mean it charges fine and everything but it wiggles just the slightest bit. Is this normal?

Mine is rock solid. A little tight actually.

Ahh. I think ill just have to live with it because this was my second replacement for dead pixels and its near perfect. You can't wiggle it the slightest?

Mine is actually quite tight as well. My two Atrix devices had loose ports but my Galaxy Nexus one was solid. This HOX is actually VERY tight though, which I'm happy about.
They can loosen over time and I'd much rather have one that's more firm than not.

Mine is rock solid with the new charger but if I plug in my old charger cord it is a bit loose and wiggly...

I tried two different chords both sort of wiggly, It charges fine so ill just live with it, Ive had 3 bad onex's and dont want a dead pixel lmao

Mine is almost too tight...hard to remove the chord sometimes. I would keep an eye on it...had a loose micro port on an old phone and it got where it wouldn't charge half the time.

I will for sure! If it gets worse ill call HTC for an under warranty repair. Its actually not as bad as I make it sound though lol. I might be overreacting.

Why didn't they make Mini-USB the standard again?

Because phones are smaller? Mini USB had the same problem. If you suck at putting a cord in it will naturally loosen over time.

Yes!! I have noticed this also if you use a third party micro USB cord. The one that comes with the phone is very snug, others not so much.

[review] Philips as351 bluetooth speaker dock $50 @ Walmart

Just got the Philips Fidelio speaker dock for my phone. Its built pretty solid. The usb port is adjustable so if you have different phones that have the micro usb port turned the other way it will fit. There are also little nubs on each side to keep the phone from rocking, and a back support so all the stress doesnt go on the usb port. It was simple to find and connect with bluetooth. There is also an aux input and a usb port for another cable if you need it. The front and rear charger both run at 2A but if you have both plugged into devices it will charge at 1A each. The sound is ok, the bass seems like its trying to hard... haha.... but not bad at all. It is portable also taking 4aa batteries, I havent tried that yet though and dont know if it will charge the phone on batteries.
Some Cons: You have to push the phone down pretty hard to get it to charge. The only buttons on the speaker are power and an independent volume button. If youre closer to the dock than your phone or the screen is off on the phone that could be slightly irritating. The biggest problem that I had was there is a little circle piece of plastic at the base of the speaker and that prevented my phone from charging with the bumper on. But after a little time cutting it it fits perfect with the bumper still on. looks ugly but works.
Best thing its only $50 for a refurbished model at walmart.com free shipping and $6 for the extended warranty. All in all not a bad deal and Im glad I purchased it.

i got the same speakers, the big problem for me is the app for android, it sucks a lot

I love this dock I have it also I've had it for a week now I have no complaints. The sound quality is amazing and the Bluetooth will still work on the other side of my apartment. Its a great buy:thumbup::thumbup: so happy I purchased this over a wireless charging dock. BTW mine charges perfect with a bumper or case on or naked. Once I adjusted the lil movable pegs that go up and down. It works perfect on my N7 also.

I use it too because I like the dock clock options but it's not needed to make it work. Nor is song bird. No issues here using it.

Note colors messed up

My wife's tablet is acting all weird. Our daughter dropped her tablet while sitting on the couch so it did not fall far and it was in a case and now all the colors look messed up. Mainly anything that was black now turned white. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it broken inside?

It sounds like the LCD is damaged. Is it still under warranty?

I have the same problem. I was for a while, able to smack the side of the tablet with my hand to return it to normal but this doesn't work anymore. Did you find a fix? I'm sure something is just loose inside! Thanks much.

Hi, sounds like that same problem that I had.
In my case it was the Display Flex cable that slipped out of place a bit. You can find a great video on IFIXIT that explains how to get to the cable to check it.
The disassembley is really well explained in the video and it was easy to do it . My Note 10.1 works perfectly well again
