Just been bothered lately with my O2 Exec. Since weeks before the stylus slot is becoming not tighten enough to retain the stylus. Now it even can slip out by itself. So just wondering if anyone have the same problem. Or any solution. Thanks
Hi,
I did suffered the same problem. And many others UNI owners as well. I lost my first styllus in a few days after I started to use my UNI.
What I did was to stick a small piece of transparent scotch tape to wider part of the styllus - at the black end of it, 5mm from the end. I cut it just to trace the shape of the styllus, so it's not visible and doesn't bother while pointing etc.
In fact I sticked about three layers of it - to make stylus hold firmly in the slot.
It being working fine since one month.
BTW: Now I have two more stylluses just in case ;-).
Regards,
Thanks in million

I am following this scotch tape method for the past 2 yrs.
Simple solution, but what a shame for such an expensive device.
Hello to all Uni owners,
Today I started a blog for mods and hacks about pocket pc's and the first think i post is an a tutorial for Universal stylus problem.

I had the same problem. The stylus broke where the plastic part is screwed into the metal tube. I can't understand why they are not built completely out of metal. But since 3 spare styluses cost about 15 Euro I get an idea why
I just made a new "plastic" part out of acacia wood, drilled a hole in it and joint it together by a pin that was glued into the he two parts.
This way it looks way better and won't break again. That's for sure.
By the way, I like touching wood better than plastic anyway.
Same thing here ....

I've also broken one stylus for no apparent reason, where the plastic meets metal. Very irritating. HTC must make a small fortune off the after-market for those things!
so did i... i'm on my second one now.
WHAT?
I thought they looked rather robust. I guess they don't last for as long as I thought.

same here. after about 2 months of usage i broke my first stylus 2 weeks ago.
I am looking for some alternative styluses.
BUT WHY THE HECK HAS THIS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WM6???
Had the same problem and bought a replacement pack of 10 from a shop online! Why this has anything to do with this forum is beyond me!

Hope that is not human bone
you can repar the two part (metalic and plastic) with iron thread that you have heated and planted into the two parts. You can put glue too
The siding on the left portion of my phone is not flush with the keyboard portion. I can always feel the "lip" or whatever you want to call it. This is a Tmobile TP2
Its annoying that phone isn't fully flush with itself.
Does any one else experience this?

I'm using a Telus TP2, but I can say that I haven't had any issues in regards to this.
yeaaa i have the same problem.
its as if the phone is crooked towards the left on the bottom half. if you slide your fingers together down the sides you feel the phone screen move in right as if it was not aligned correctly
Same problem here MPD suggested I go direct to HTC regarding this, as it was outside the 1 week direct swap window.
Apparently HTC have a 72 hour turnaround in the UK
Same issue here with both mine and my fiance's T-Mobile TP2, so I just assumed that's how they were. :\
glad to know i'm not alone & not just on Tmobile
wow i never even noticed this. Just another problem to add to the list.....how wonderful. I just posted my review of this phone before reading this thread and looking at my phone.
Aligning the two sections
I've found the same problem. Placing a small ruber patch at the end of the rail slots in the screen piece left my phone completely aligned.
Instructions:
Get some adhesive rubber piece that's about as thick as the misalignment in your phone. In my case, it was just one mm, and I found such a rubber piece as the filling between optional rubber "feet" that came with one router I had. I guess the chances of you having the same thing are dim, but the point is that this type of material shouldn't be difficult to find, just look around. Any hard rubber film with one adhesive side and the appropriate thickness should do.
Cut two pieces that are 1mmx1mm, and place them (tweezers will help in getting this done) right at the edge of the rails at the bottom of the screen piece. When viewed from below this should be at the left side of the bottom of the screen, right at the edge of the screen piece.
Close the keyboard to get the pieces stuck in place.
My phone is flush now.
cool I'll have to try that
Thanks for the tip, herbys. I had to do something similar on my Nokia N95 to fix the wobble in the slider.
I've had three T-Mobile TP2s so far and the lip is most noticeable on my third and current unit. My co-worker has one and his sits perfectly flush. I imagine it's just a small fluke on the assembly line, but I wonder how widespread the issue really is.
Found some x-ray pics of the DZ, quite interesting

Very cool, interresting spring-in cylinder near the hinge. Is that the source of the weak hinge woes? (I actually have no problem with the hinge =))
We see, that it HAS spring... Wtf happened to it?
ha! so the hinge is actually spring loaded? Anybody think the "hinge problem" can be fixed by just using a tighter spring?
good thing i held off on buying it. whoever said the hinge works mainly on gravity is just spewing BS...
Doesn't the fact that the spring is at right angles to the opening direction of the phone mean it's not contributing towards the actual opening/closing ? And perhaps it's just a spring-loaded thing to release the clips to take the phone apart ? I could be way off though.
Couldn't that spring be like part of the antenna?
One of my previous phones also had a coil antenna like that inside.
I must agree that it looks like it's part of the hinge, but then again it also looks like it's not directly connected to it.
It doesn't looks like 'a spring' to me... more like an antenna.

You can open your keyboard and see a lift in that place, I don't think that it's antenna
Its a spring for the hinge, if you move the top half of the phone vertical downwards (with respect to the phone and not the ground, you'll be moving the top half parallell to the ground considering the phone is on a flat surface) while holding the bottom fixed you can feel the spring give slightly.
I dont know what it is but if it is spring for hinge mechanism it seems to be broken. At the first picture the device is closed. At the second one it is open. Spring is the same, not shorter or longer.
So I guess that it dont work?

Like I suggested earlier, the spring is at right-angles to the direction of opening. So I'm not suprised it doesn't change.
It is a spring to govern the hinge. See this thread on the G2 forums, which explains how to modify your hinge if it seems too loose !

cool.. only thing that i hate about this phone is its slide type..
Hi all,
I am looking for a waterproofed case for bike for my Note, does anybody have an idea where to buy? I can only find small ones where I can't put my Note in.
I did see one on der Bucht but cannot find it now.
However these guys may have a solution www(.)ram-mount.co.uk/aqua-box-large-size-p-1347-c-360_162.html
My solution: http://www.android-hilfe.de/zubeho...adhalterung-fur-galaxy-note.html#post2307440
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:AU:1123#ht_15442wt_1163
this case has rubber plugs to block up the earphone jack and microusb jack to help improve water resistance. it wont block up the microphone holes though.

Looks like the RAM Mount Medium - Wide is an even better fit.
http://www.ram-mount.com/EmptyPages/AQUABOXES/AQ6MAIN/tabid/1538/Default.aspx
I will have to check that one out. I love the Ram Mount gear.
ortlieb handlebar bag
Ortlieb makes an excellent waterproof handlebar bag and they have an accessory gps soft case that attaches to the top. It is a simple elegant rollable bag design that is 100% waterproof and my note fits perfectly in it, maybe a bit tight as it takes an effort to take it out of it, but just a minor thing. The touchscreen and all buttons work perfectly while in the bag but I still haven't tested it while raining.
the bag

the gps case accessory

The setup is a bit pricey but so is the note : )
Hope that helps.

Ha, I'd forgotten about my AquaBox. I've several smaller sizes I've used for years for Nokias, but I still have the original too-large one I'd gotten for an N95 so I've just pulled it out and it's absolutely perfect ! It might look a bit silly on a bicycle but it's perfect for my motorbike. It even fits perfectly with my flip case still on

thanks very much for the pictures, this is looking good to me.
But is it possible to use the touchscreen while it is in the box?

Not really I'm afraid. It's got a flexible (replaceable) screen on the front and I've been trying it for a few minutes. Sometimes I can get it to register a touch or a swipe but mostly not, I guess it's generally just too thick for the electrical signal to get through and be registered properly.
Ok here's a warning to all of you, the edges of the screen are very sensitive to pressure I noticed the other day light pressure on the edge of the bezel would make my screen discolored, I just took my phone out of my pocket now and I have a yellow vertical band down the right hand side of my screen, I'm guessing my phone squeezed in my pocket when I got in the car for work this morning, just a warning to everyone be ultra gentle with your screens. :-( not happy.
having tested and unboxed over 15 HOXes
i can confirm to you some of them ripple under light pressure, some under some effort and few impossible to ripple
the ripple is a sign of imperfect screen lamination, if your's was very sensitive to begin with than it was defected out of box and hence the damage you have now
out of the 15 i tried, only one of them that my cousin own is completely ripple free no matter how hard you push
the one im talking about feels completely different to the rest, its extremely rigid on both left and right sides with such a tight gap that no dust can get it, like i said it has been an impossible task for me to find another one like it, this one is also perfectly clean and even on whites when viewed at every angle, ie: its lamination is flawless, early HT23 white
something is seriously messed with HTC screen fitting and its only time before more and more cases like this will appear
This phone gets better by the day...
Might dump it on ebay and .....
This is rediculous.... somone with money and power DO SOMETHING!!!!
Mod edit: Edited for language
The glass is pretty fragile anyway TBH. Mine has been in a pocket on it's own and still managed to become scratched after a week, whereas my last iPhone 4 went about two years without getting a mark on either side!

You should get a Samsung device, I here each of their displays are identically perfect. Seriously, I've never seen a mobile device forum where there weren't a percentage of complaints about the display. You can't build millions and have every unit perfect. Google "iPad/iPhone display issues" and you'll see no one's immune.

Thats the good thing about being able to manufacture your own screens and not have to rely on 3rd parties I suppose. Imagine being able to buy a HTC phone with a Samsung screen in it! Minus all the Hardware issues too!
Oh wait, were you being sarcastic!?!? lol
