The bezel must be magnetically activated and not mechanical. The side of my surface pro 4 has magnets to hold the pen and whenever I'm holding it as a tablet, the screen activates if I get close and as I move my hand around, the screens flip back and forth changing my display.
At first, it was hilarious, but it's actually getting annoying. Guess it's not really a question, or even a statement.
That being said, anyone that works in a hydro electric power plant, go have some fun.

When the screen is up to expose the keyboard there is a rattling sound. When the keyboard is down, no rattle.
who else has experienced this?
Do you think I should return it? If not, do you know what it is that rattles?
( this is not the "spring noise" that I have been reading about, at least I don't think it is)
mine does that
when its slid open there is a piece on the screen part on the side with the camera that can b moved
duno if its normal
Do you mean to say I can see the cause of the noise if I take the battery cover off, or did you disassemble your phone to find it?
no no
just slide the screen out
turn it over
when u look at the back ul see an indent that can be pushed in and out slightly it rattles
well at least now I know what is rattling, thanks
np
but i would like to know if everyone has this

I see the same thing. looks like a cover plate for something.
Yeah i noticed it, too.
It isn't too bad but it is a little annoying.
If you slide that piece enough, you can see a ribbon cable.
It's the ribbon cable that connects the two halves of the phone. There is a little trap door there that covers it up while in the open position. If you watch it as you close the phone, the door opens as you slide it closed. But as it does that, it put tension on the spring, the tension keeps it tight when the phone is closed. When you open, no more tension and it has a little play in it. They should have spec'd the spring to have a little tension on it even in the open position so it would hold it still like when it's closed.
Oh well, probably some reason for it. Nothing to worry about at all though.
I was talking to my buddy at ATT last night. All the Fuze's have the rattle including mine. Nothing to worry
as long as it keeps the damn white screen away im happy
as long as it keeps the damn white screen away im happy
ya I was checking that out, it does look like all they needed was to keep a little spring tension on the door even when its all the way out

Mine rattles when closed. annoying
It's a little annoying, not because of the sound but because it makes it seem that much less unfinished. For our money we shouldn't get rattling phones.
My Fuze never rattled til now...
Well, this seems to be a big issue. On mine, the spring doesn't seem to keep the trap door on the back of the display shut at all, its almost "jamming" sometimes when you close the keyboard. I shouldn't have to check to make sure nothing is in the way when retracting the keyboard.
I almost want to scotch tape the black trap door shut to keep it from moving around.
There is a "silver" rectangular metal plate connected to the tension spring that seems to have come loose somehow.
The black door can be slid back and forth freely, as there is "nothing" holding it shut.
I don't like lose metal parts moving around inside my electronics that aren't connected to things they should be. Not at what we paid for this thing.
I see dust problems in the display in the future. I wonder if its time for warranty action?
My fuze screen has became way to loose in the closed position. To provide a better example its like its got a hinge and wants to flip open rather then slide open. There is way too much up/down movement that way. Its so loose that when it vibrates the screen will vibrate on the casing and it makes or horrible rattle sound that makes me cringe every time I hear it. I have to hold the phone tight in my hand to stop the rattle. The weight of the screen will actually cause it to partly open by just flipping the phone over and holding the back.
Aside from duct tape, any good ways to fix this or tighten the mechanism that holds it position?
I have a similar problem but not as severe. Mine is just a smidge loose and when I press down on the side of the screen it slides a few millimeters and it's really annoying when I hold the phone. Any help fixing would be appreciated.
yea same here, it's not annoying but I don't trust it

When I originally mentioned duct tape, I was being sarcastic. Ironically, however, this is my fix to this problem.
I used the Gorilla Tape brand, because that's what I had. All I did was put three pieces of black gorilla tape on the back of the slider. This tightened it up, and stopped my annoying rattle. Pretty simple and easy fix.
Also, it made the snap feel when it slides out much more firm, and I really enjoy the feel of it much more now.
I was wondering about the dock feature in other phones so I wondered if the dock had a magnet like the droid series phones. I placed a neodymium magnet and with the screen locked to portrait mode I moved the magnet around and in between the camera and speaker the screen auto rotated to portrait mode.
G2 still says it's not docked but I wonder if this could be something to look at for a car or home style dock.
Anyone else try this?
I placed a neodymium under my G2 when the screen was off and it turned the screen on
I think the phone uses a magnet to sense whether the keyboard is open or not. So its waking and rotating the screen b/c it thinks the keyboard is open, not b/c its going to dock mode.
If you hold a paperclip to the underside of the screen, the part that is exposed when the keyboard is open (but not exposed when keyboard closed), the paperclip will stick to the internal magnet.
I put an M5 magnet next to a powered down G2, and it got up, walked to the kitchen and made me a pastrami sammich.

Hammer meets nail. I tried the paperclip under the screen and found the magnet. 100% correct on your reply. Bummer on my half because I wish this had a docking feature.
Thanks for the answer!
when I stand my phone on the lower left corner of my laptop, my laptop goes into hibernation, and when i remove my phone, it wakes back up haha.
Anyone think that having the keyboard (not the touch but the tactile one) scratches the screen when closed? Also what if you don't want to use it, is it designed to fold back like the ipad smart cover and just only the tablet?
New to the pro. Nice piece of hardware.
Thanks
The screen is Gorilla Glass, it is harder by far than the keys of the Type Cover. You can clean the screen with any glass cleaner if you want to remove lines or smudges; they'll all be on the surface.
Both covers can be folded behind the tablet. In that position, they are inactive; you don't have to worry about hitting keys. The Type Cover still feels weird in that position, though, because the keys move under your fingers as you hold the tablet (this is one reason why I got the Touch). You can also just remove the cover, of course.
Few things are capable of scratching gorilla glass, fewer still are things your tablet is ever going to come anywhere near.
Some gems and minerals (this includes sand, both beach and builders) will do it, as will more gorilla glass shards. Plastic and metal if they had a sharp tip you might be able to do it, but you would have to be trying to do it, actually putting effort in to break your screen. The type cover certainly won't scratch the screen.
The type cover does also fold onto the back of the device like the touch cover does, the only difference between the 2 is the thickness and the fact that one has proper keys. I haven't handled a surface with type cover yet, only touch, touch folded onto the back doesn't feel weird at all. I have handled a yoga 11 though, keys on back of that were weird, very weird. But the covers come off so doesn't matter much
Do any of you have this issue?
When you tap on the middle upper of the tablet a little bit hard it causes a vibrate clicky loose sound like the components behind are loose?
I only noticed it today and im sure it wasn't like this before or if it was not so prominent.
Im out of my retailers return window so if anything needs to be fixed I'll have to go to samsung.
The device functions ok but im just a little concerned the screenis coming loose or thr digitizer..thevibration clicky sound is quite annoying and i can't remember if it used to be there i think it might as directly behind where it rattles is the camera and above the battery and speakers. I just hear and feel a vibrating rattling sound which annoys me and feels like the build is poor. Can you guys try tapping the middle upper of your tablet quite hard or moderqtely and see if you have same issue?
What do you think has happend screen coming loose?
I think the resistive and conductive layers of the screen have come loose from the hard tapping.
If i hold down the middle of the screen and release it makes a 'sticky' sound. What is likely to happen if this continues?
From reading it says the resistive and conductive layers come in constant contact meaning it. Ould misinterpret commands.
Is it possible the screen is just loosened from the digitizer or is it more likely the 2 layers of resisitive and conductive layer are loose?
Does anyone know what this is?
It is so annoying in certain parts of the screen it seems to be looose hence the tapping. Is the glue loose or the screen coming apart?
If i lie it flat on a table there is less rattling when i type but when i put it in my case to hold it up the clicky rattling sound is more im just worried it's going to collapse at some point. Can anyone fathom what might be causing this?
It feels like the creen has come loose slightly in certain parts of the screen as if i tap on the opposite side across the screen it seems to c9rrect this issue for a few secs which leads me to think the screen is coming loose
Ive just realised now it's the back cover which is loose or the insides.
It seems by me pressing down on the front screen too much and the back of the tablet not completely heald down on a flat hard surface t has somehow caused the back cover to come loose of the parts inside have come loose by being forced back slightly.
Does anyone guess what is hppening?
When i flip over the tablet and press the back and tap the back cover on the right side it sounds loose and if i press on it there is some give like there is some space.
So ive identified what is thr cause of this and it's that my case which has rubber corners which hold it against the back of the backbpard leaves a gap between tge tablet and the backboard of the case cover. When i tap the screen too hard it causes a flex ehich unfortunately has caused the tablettobend and push the motherboard and insides onto the back cover which hss now flexed and stretched i presume? Or it has xaused the components to dislodge and misplace, can the back cover actually stretch this much?ithought it wad hard pladtic that retains its shape
I heard the tab s creaks also but mine is the back cover has stretched out fr8m within not holding the components snuggly if that makes sense. What is the fix for this?
