Tbolt creak/click

Does anyone elses tbolt click a little when pushing on the sides of the phone, the edge around the screen? Mine clicks and creaks like its sticking to glue or something but not staying stuck... should i exchange it?

Do you have the extended battery?

no phones stock i just got it yesterday, hasnt been droped bumped anything, and it creaks if i press down on the screen when its laying flat on a desk.

Mine does that right around the volume rocker. I'm not worrying about that or the slight light leak from the bottom. It's not rebooting itself, so I'll see how it goes.

Yes, exchange it!! I just went through that with one. Sometimes it wouldn't do it, like when it was hot and when I tried to replicate the issue in the store I couldn't so they wouldn't give me a new one. Finally I put it back in the box for a day and it started popping again. It was like the screen was loose or something.

Seems like the tbolt has major software and few hardware issues. I'm glad I got the Mytouch 4G instead.

How does that help the OP? Or did you just want to do a MyTouch 4G ad? Lol Before you go blowing MyTouch's horn, check this out...http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/05/t-mobile-mytouch-4g-review/.
My Thunderbolt only creaked when I bought the extended case. Exchanged it for another one and it stopped creaking. Three days later it was creaking again. If I put my regular case back on, no creaking! I've learned to put up with it.

Oh, Man - tMobile would be great! I mean, unlimited pretend 4G throttled after 2GB each month? Frickin awesome!

Thanks for the input, im going to head into the verizon store when i have time on monday. I can easily replicate it because it does it i would say 90% of the time, and even if i cant replicate the screen part, the edges all around the screen do it constantly. I got a lemon

Wouldn't hurt to show it to them. My thing is just that there seem to be a lot of phones with rebooting issues that I don't think they are exchanging, asking customers to wait for the update that is supposed to fix it...
Just tried mine again and now it isn't clicking...
Maybe make sure your battery cover is properly on all the way around. HTC really could make better battery covers.

So does the phone scratch easily?

So guys in terms of the metal around the phone does that scratch easily? Im using the Case-mate pop case but im thinking of using the barely there case. I really like the slim form of the phone. Any suggestions?

Well mine has a Few nicks in the bottom right corner. But I daily drop or accidentally throw my phone and I don't have a case. Had the phone for three months as well. So that's actually impressive from my track record. Stands up to significantly much more than any phone or laptop I've had. Carries only one scar too

I've done that when I'm holding the phone and use the same hand to point to something. The phone just flew out.

It's okay, cats land on their feet - it's only toast and phones that land the wrong way up.

Yes I had dust behind my screen too, it was like a 'jet' of dust, a spray of it, starting at the left hand side and getting wider as it went about 1cm across my screen. Luckily it happened in the first week of my contract so Orange swapped it for me. I've heard HTC will sort it free of charge too though. No problems with the current one so far. But read a lot of people had a similar problem.

I have a few specks of dust under mine, guess I never checked it well enough when i changed my digitiser. I will just pop it off again sometime and clean it.

thats strange mine was on the left handside to thin at first then got wider
well got all the prices from my local shops to fix it and they went from £50 upto £100 then i remember i have instrance through my bank for such a thing as acidental damage and they only going to charge me £30 excess but lose my phone for a week on the plus side will probs just get a refurbished one as everyone in the shops i asked all said that there is no garantee it will work prooplerly again.

Sidekick 4g water indicator?

Where can I find this? lol.

I've had the unit all the way apart and I don't remember seeing one. Why?

I always thought it was a sticker or something that turns red or whatever when it touches water.

It is, except I don't think they put one in our phone. Why?

Its right next to the battery prongs.

Yup I got 2 indicators, 1 right by the battery prongs also, and one actually on the battery also by the prongs

My wife took hers swimming, so she's using mine. :\

Possibly a dead blaze.... RIP (maybe)

Sad, sad day, folks
So no schiss, there I was, giving the kids a bath, when all of a sudden my blaze jumps out of my pocket and into the tub. As quickly as I could get over the shock of what happened, I removed the battery and threw the blaze in a bowl of rice, but I fear this may be the end of Betty and as much as I hate to say it, if it is dead, it's time for a Nexus. In a couple months, when I can afford a phone. We'll find out tomorrow whether Betty breathes. I have high hopes, as when I took the battery out, it wasn't wet underneath

Its always good to have some Uncle Ben's around. . Good luck.....

is the fact that my children weren't electrocuted a good sign?
lol i kid. Luckily, I'm not dead in the water even if it is fried. I have my i777 with the plan that my job pays for.
I wonder if t-mo does call/sms forwarding...

My previous BlackBerry took a dive into our pool while I was emptying the skimmer and it took me a few moments before I could jump in after it. I unscrewed everything and took it apart, cleaned everything with distilled water, and placed the components into a bowl of white rice on on top of our cable box for a week. It still works today, although I only keep it around as a backup.
If you give you Blaze many days in a bowl of rice, and place the bowl on top of something that is perpetually warm, like a cable/dtv box or other heat-producing hardware (and give it a week. Seriously, give it 7 days to allow any remaining water to work its way out from underneath ball-grid arrays and the LCD) I'm sure it will come out the other end working fine.
