The magnet holding the stylus seems to have either come off its usual spot or is turned in another direction. But the stylus wasn't holding anymore. Today, I got to work and noticed I had lost the stylus. Is there any known fix for this? I never dropped the phone, it just wouldn't work one day.
Thanks for any help.
Did you open the Stylus? You can srew it (upper black part) up, where you can see the magnet that is hold by a plastic part: it cant move .... did someone fool you?

Well, my stylus is lost now so it's too late. No, nobody was trying to trick me. Are you saying that the only magnet is in the tip of the stylus? The end that you write with? Because I believe I have another one.
with mine you cant write like a pencil only on the touch screen without ink ;-), its a touch pro without branding original from HTC. the magnet in it is placed in the inner stylus ca. 3 cm upwards from the "tip" ..., you can say just in the middle ..

Well, mystylus was going into it's sleeve and not staying in, it was just sliding out. So, I don't know where the magnet was at all.
For me it seems that the contra part in the inner of your device (ferrum or magnetic) has moved or is broken so the magnetic stylus "found nothing to be magnetic with" hope you understand me, my english is worst .... You know that you need a little Power to remove the stylus from his hole. if you could test it with the other stylus that you still own (but must be for the TP!!), wether the stylus is hold or not.... and have a look in the inner of the stylus wether the magnet is there...
good night.... perhaps till tomorrow.... If you need a plan from the inner parts of the TP: i have one

P.S. If you shake your device: Do you hear anything ??
Well, I tried but my replacement stylus didn't work. There is definitely a magnet missing inside the phone. At first it was tight, then it seemed blocked and now it just glides in and out.
So, can anyone give me any hints about what I can do to fix my stylus not sticking in its sleeve? I really need this fixed. Is it safe to open up a Fuze?
This happened to me today...
i have removed the battery, chip, microsd and then the back cover... a bit tricky but it was easy (folowing the dis/assembly guide), for mine the lower part didnt want to go out, so i pull out the speaker connector and then push it out.
and the other magnet was there... and it have a place in the back cover that i think it may be seen if you take the battery out... it have like a dent
now my problem is with the polarity... i dont know how to glue it ... it have 2 positions vertical or horizontal
the vertical position will attract the stylus but it seems not to enter completely
the horizontal will push it, but i dont know if it will hold it as is very hard to test it without adding glue and i will use exposy...
EDIT1: found where it go... its in the vertical position but it need to be tested (because the polarity is different dont know why) if you are going to glue it
EDIT2: i used a plastic card (old medic card, visa, ect) to pry out the back cover from the keyboard
Thanks
Many,many thanks to you.
Same situation so easy but the lose magnet not easy to find except by your tips. Ha, ha I love this forum, So many thanks to the people here who contribute helping each other

so I'm beginning to accept the fact that there's not much I can really do about my loose hinge. the truth is, it doesn't really hinder me in during regular use at all. however, its frustrating that I know it could have been better.
I might be satisfied if there was some case or something that secured the screen when open a bit more. maybe something involving magnets. anybody heard of anything like this? anybody wanna brainstorm on how to improvise it?

Dude... forget about it. If its really that bad... return it. Magnets will ruin the built in compass and god knows what other parts. Bad idea. Its supposed to be floatly. Trust me... its a welcom addition compared to the mytouch slide keyboard. The g2 is pretty smooth and as long as it doesn't fall when you hold it in a normal position, who cares...
This is my first post, hehe
bought my G2 on the 6th from Tmo store, mine is pretty solid, not loose at all, upside down, 45 degree angle, the screen doesnt go nowhere, closed or open, if i dont push it, it doesnt move, not even if i forcefully flick it!
im sure you could get a new one from tmobile/htc if it really bothers u, but looking at videos on youtube of the faulty screen, it would sure as hell bother me! good luck!
I'm in the same boat as j.books here. I'm LOVING the phone and while the wiggly hinge isn't an issue in how I use my phone it is just annoying knowing that it could/should have been better. I don't think I'm going to go through the hassle of returning the phone; it runs so well, I'm really afraid to spit in it's eye. :S
I'd contact whoever you got the phone from. If it is terribly loose and wiggly it's either a factory defect, packing fault. Possibly also fault of carrier. Either way if it's that much of an issue you may as well take the time to get to the bottom of it and figure out who to contact for a replacement or where to send your back to get it fixed. It's inconvenient for the user so make that clear when you contact them and demand some compensation.
I called t-mo last week and went to a t-mo store. it wasn't a 'known issue' at that point, and the t-mo store was absolutely worthless in terms of advice. one person was rude, one was nice, but both told me to call customer support, even though I already had.
the more I use the phone, the less of an issue it is. but it still bothers me. esp now that I know some people don't have the loose hinge. my 2 weeks is up on monday so I'm gonna call today and see if I am able to exchange it. problem is, I really don't want to go the whole weekend without it :\

I heard of magnets but I have no idea how they work....

Take it apart, find the springs, and replace them with stronger ones. Other than that, your choices are replace it or live with it. Personally I'd replace the springs since I like to take things apart
Tell me how it goes don't see a G2 dis-assembly vid anywhere around

If you wanted to do this you need self adhesive magnet tape, thinest available less than 1mm or I don't think this mod will help.
Disclaimer. I haven't tried this but am sure it will work.
Cut tape to 2 1/4" x 1/2"
Cut 1/8" wide notch @ 1" to the right of left/rear edge.
Depth of notch [email protected] 1/4" ( the notch is for the small microswitch that senses the phone is closed, this switch also creates the limiting factor of magnet thickness. Bend the hoop upward you say? )
Test fit before you remove the backing ( magnet tape is placed between ribbon cable on left and 3rd hinge on right with notch around the microswitch. )
Good Luck!
PS this mod will hold the screen open and closed with no effect in between. I don't think it'll effect the compass because there is already tons of EMI in these devices, also you can recalibrate the compass and since the magnet is static it should compensate. Again good luck! And post pics if anyone is brave enough to attempt.

thanks dude. I was thinking of something like that, but I wasn't sure any magnetic tape would be thin enough. I looked it up and they never seem to specify the thickness, but there are products described as 'extra thin,' such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Flexible-Adhesive-Magnetic-Dispenser/dp/B000NNQ1CK ...think it would work?

Umm.... yep that looks like it'll do. When you get it stick some on wax paper, flip upside down,get one of those 6" metal "machinist rulers" , do your layout with a sharp pencil,and cut with exacto knife or new utility blade, test fit before removing wax paper(also compass,gps,etc function). Maybe use some cardboard pieces to hold the hinge open, getting the magnet into position will be the hardest part. Good luck and post pics/review.
This idea really appeals to my inner hacker.

Do It!!! I would do it myself but I'm actually happy with my hinge and have to many other projects in the pipeline at the moment.
Apart from magnetic tape, we can also consider velcro/hook & loop
just stick a little at the back of the screen and the upper part of the keyboard
not too much to avoid noise/falling hair/forceful push
just the amount that keeps the screen in position anytime will do
Hi everyone i was wondering if it was possible to fix the back from creaking all the time? Thanks in advance

I don't have my GSN10.1 yet, so have no idea if you can actually open the back easily, so this is all theory, but...!
All of my Nokias I used to have back in the day had the squeaking. It came from the back cover rubbing against the main body. From the other thread I understand what is happening with the GSN10.1 is probably a similar phenomenon.
You could easily get rid of it the squeaking in the Nokias by gently rubbing a chapstick along the edge of the back cover.
worth a shot! you can't really break anything (assuming the back is removable)
Dunno. My back doesnt creak in the slightest. Perhaps get a sturdy case?

If i run my nail along the ight side of the phone the casing seems to be able to come off the phone itself. Was wondering is that normal and can anyone else do it?

Lol. I can do it too! Now trying to find how to dismantle it!
Normal. The case has to be gently removed in that method to access the internals for service.

Hey everyone.
I purchased my phone through duty free, unlocked so after checking with local Samsung repair center they told me my warranty is not applicable in the country i live in, because i purchased the phone in duty free. This is not an official Samsung repair center, just a random one authorized by Samsung btw.
Either way, the issue is that the back glass is slightly lifting on one side/ corner. The top right corner (Next to the heart rate sensor) is slightly unstuck from the body, and it creates a tiny little gap, which ends up running down the side of the phone a little.
I have tried finding a solution and no luck. What i want to know is, if i take a heat gun, and give the back glass a blast under the heat gun in order to warm up the glue, and then apply some pressure evenly across the back glass, will that do the trick? Is it even safe to do so ?
Thanks for the help and if necessary i can try submit some pictures.
It should be safe to do as long as you don't heat it up too much as to cause the internals of the phone to get over-stressed. I would power down your phone and make sure it is cooled before starting the process. You don't want it turned on and then your phone decide that it wants to update 20 apps and cause it to heat up any more than it already is.
Also, be gentle with applying pressure to the glass, if you happened to have dropped it and warped the frame that would explain why the glass is lifting up, and if you press too hard it may break it. Just be careful and you should be fine. It's not a guaranteed fix but it's a safe method to try out.
If you need help on using the heat gun just look online for videos of repairing phone screens, plenty of them use heat guns to get the adhesive loosened up and almost always state what temperature to set it to. I feel like it was around 700°F (370°C) last I looked, but don't quote me on that.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I will try give it a shot over the weekend. The phone is in perfect conditions and has never been dropped. In fact when i press down on the glass, it kinda slots back into place, but then sticks back out, so i'm assuming its un-even adhesive or whatever the case is with it. In reality its such an un-noticeable issue, but you know how it is... once you know its there, that's the only thing you notice
I wonder if anyone else had this issue because i found a YouTuber who actually also had his back glass un-stick from the body
Sorry to hear about your luck. I would think it goes without saying, but it will probably no longer be waterproof.

From my experience doing so does not work. You need to replace the adhesive which is easy to do, what is more difficult is sourcing an OEM one
