LCD portion not flush with keyboard portion?

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.

[Q] HTC Elf, Fake Leather Cases and Magnets.. O.o Help?

That subject line sounds almost kinky... Lol. Anyway, before I get off-topic, I just got a cover for my Elf from eBay. Unfortunately, it isn't the best quality, but for what I paid ($9.99 excl postage) it was definitely worth it. With currency conversion and shipping to SA, it came to about R120 where as a local equivalent would be close to R300.....
Anyway, the front flap folds down, hinged at the bottom behind the USB connector, and with a clip that goes over the top of the speaker and over to the back. The clip, however, is not in the right place and so it's very tight. I don't have a camera handy, but here is an image of what the cover looks like:

(please excuse the 'eWWT' name on it, this image is from an eBay listing by Easy World Wide Trading)
I'm thinking about trying to remove the clip that goes over the top in favour of having either two small magnets or two small pieces of velcro to hold the flap shut. Only thing is, either way it would need to go on the front above the screen, one in each corner.
What I'd like to know is this, are those small magnetic pads on the belt pouches (where you must remove the device to use it) strong enough to cause a problem being that close to the device all the time? Another thing to keep in mind is I only have one arm thanks to a motorbike accident, so having a tight clip around the back makes things difficult..

I have a similar Leather case even I would like to know whether the magnet at the back side cause any battery drain or harm the speakers anything..pls Reply

The price is attractive, but the outlook and the design looks outdated

Lol.. Leooooooo, this is a rather old thread... In the end I just cut the flap off and I use it like that. May be considered an 'outdated design', but it's practical and I like it. Still using the same pouch today and I'm happy with it.

[Q] EVO Armband? Not a pouch on a band

I am looking for a Armband for my EVO. I would like to find one that allows me to view the screen while it is in the band. I got one from Ebay that came from Hong Kong that says it will work for the phone but it is tight (so tight is causes signal loss) on the phone and only can view 2/3 of screen. If anyone out there has gotten one or seen one please let me know.

I am not sure how being tight would cause signal loss unless your seeing the signal loss while it is strapped to you arm, in which case it is your arm, not the case.
As for your question, have not seen any yet, my wife sews like crazy so when I need something like that I just ask her for it lol.

Yeah, it cause signal loss in the wireless network and the GPS. even if it is not on my arm. A friend says it being tight would cause a pinch on the chip. To much pressure on the screen it what he says. He is a electronic engineer too. So i would believe him.

Your friend is wrong. The chip for wifi and cell is on the back of the board away from the screen. At most it may be signal attenuation due to a material in the case.
To show I am not talking out my ass here.

As you can see the chips are on the back of the board.

As someone with seven years of RF experience I just have to say, this is the most absurd thing I have ever read online.

Which part?

the reception thing sounds crazy
i use an arm band for an ipod touch that is a "stretchy/spongy" material and i can still see the phone and change songs through the thick plastic coating on the front. I sweat ALOT too and still never had water damage after 45 min+ runs
its very similar to this one but an older model i think(had it for years for my 1st gen zune). Just stretch it out lol

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic

Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here

This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.

Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol

that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue

im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.

Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?

I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.

thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)

lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it

Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one

No way.. I wont try it

When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one

Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!

I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD

[Q] Wrist Strap / Lanyard and how?

Do they exist for xplay and how would you attach them?
I can only think of attaching the strap to one of the silver screws next to one of the speakers below the back cover and leading it out via the speaker openning on the side... This would require a special screw to reliably hold the strap... Any ideas?

Thank you very much. Will hit thank button when I'm at the computer. So there is something for this already to accept standard strap if I understand the pics or did you have to do something special? Going offline now to look under the back cover.

There is a hook under the back, where u lift back off, just hook it around the tab and pull it tight, then put the back on again be careful tho, i miss placed it a couple times and it fell off, lol.

Tad worried about Laniards because of how easy it is to snap off the back cover.

There is a lip around the gray tab that the laniard pulls tight under, so even with the back off it does come off, the back cover just holds it down slightly more.
I havent had any problems with mine, and i hang it around my neck, lol, only time i had a problem was when i didnt put it around the gray tab properly in the first place, lol.

Very happy the hook exists - still have not been to computer to thank you for the post and clear pictures - without them I would not understand how it works. On holiday now but managed to put the strap from nintendo ds to xplay. The only way it worked was sliding loop over the hook, pooling on the ends of the string till it was properly in grooves. Then while still pooling the strap as otherwise it slides out put the back on after which the strap seems to stay in place securely I hope. Thanks again

Glad i could help
It was something i wanted to do, but cos i had my hard cover on my phone i never got round to doing it. The i thought with a bit of modification i could use the hard case AND the laniard, so i just cut a little section out of the case and it works a treat!!

As I couldn't slide the loop twice into the slot provided I think the best thing is to create a slip knot first by turning one extra loop and pooling the end of the original loop through it before attaching it to the phone then sliding the knot as far as possible to the middle. Once it is done it makes it less possible for the loop to go off the grooves which was possible without the extra slip knot if you pushed the loop in and then let the phone go.
