Tilting SCreen

Is there any way to disable that annoyng tilting effect og the sense 3??? I don't know why but most of the time I turn on the phone the screen is rotated left or right.

yeah settings then display then auto rotate, turn that off

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....

Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

Still not understanding the problem here. Your phone is getting stuck in landscape mode?

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!

any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.

from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

Important Tests To Perform After Purchasing Sensation (UPDATED)

Since there are individual threads going on regarding diff. issues that some Sensations suffer from, i thought i would start this thread to have all these issues in one place. And more importantly, we can suggest some tests that could be performed right out of the box to figure out whether or not the device should be sent for replacement.
I'll keep the first post updated based on your recommendations in this thread.
-The first thing i can think of is the issue with the device being loose in its back cover, which is something that should be kept in mind and also can be easily tested
-Then comes the problem of "separate" layers under the screen which is accompanied by a sound resembling "a sticker being peeled of a surface".

Touchscreen not working properly.
Except you can't test for that when you first get it because it takes a few days to appear.

FWIW, I had that issue but once I installed ADW launcher it hasn't happened again...it's been two days now. It's probably just a coincidence, but never the less figured I'd pass it on.

Is the second issue on the OP is relevant to this video?

I couldn't see any thing wrong on that video though.

Why dont you drown your Defy it should be water resistant up to one meter.
Motorola have to repair or replace your Defy when it breaks of water damage i would think.
But i think they will just replace some parts and not send you a completely new handset.

Boy your insane. Believe me they wont exchange ur phone for a new one. Instead they'll keep ur unit with them for a week, promising u that the problem will b resolved and then after a week they'll return u the same handset by repairing the defected part

Sell the old and buy a new one. Simple!

yo work done lets see what Moto has to say on this

Not to be rude or anything,
But what is the point of having a forum if each time someone finds an answer you delete it?
Instead of removing the question and just saying done, would be good to actually answer how you did it, since I dont think you are the only one who might wanna pull this off.

Maybe he thinks if Motorola reads this topic his defy's won't be repaired.
But you're right - he shouldn't delete it.

Haha what about they will change your board, but not the camera? XD

[Q] Removing battery cover and/or change SIM

Hello
Has anyone got any ideas on how to remove the back cover on the Photon Q 4G? I want to know if I can remove the SIM and replace with my 'foreign' SIM. I did research and found that the SIM is embedded under the battery, but in order to get to that you need to still get to the battery.
Please help.

I was curious of this myself so I took my Photon Q apart right now for you and no it does not has a removable sim it soldered to the board and covered and enclosed in the board meaning you can't get to it with out breaking the Mother Board.
btw Im a Certified repair technician in a Sprint store...just so you know im not just some punk kid

I was cringing so hard at that, especially when he broke out the beer. I mean it didn't short out immediately or anything but it was still.....awful.

well, don't try this at home!

These people are just nuts. There are some horrible "hammer tests" which I can't stand at all. If you're that stupid, you deserve to have a broken phone.

I guess phones are demo phones for retailers that can't be used for anything else anyway

More importantly, I'd like to know the post-testing results. Able to dry out and work like new? Any screwy controls/gross display issues? Would be cool knowing that if my phone did happen to take a dip it wouldn't mean an automatic send-off to the manufacturer.

Funny you should say that, I had a similar problem with my S2, some sort of debris got into the port, and it blew the whole charging PCB ! Found one instantly on ebay tho so it was clearly a known issue.

What real life scenario do these "hammer tests" replicate? Of course it will smash your phone if you use a bloody hammer! As for water/beer test, not as worse, but still silly. And doesn't prove a thing either, mind.

Interesting experience for a non water resistant device. It's the charging and usb port still working? Speakers and microphone?
