Hi Guys,
Ok...as a testament to how much I use this device (despite a lot of my apps, like yours not being upward WM5 compatible...patiently waiting too), and NOT as a testament to how careless I am, I must admit that I have now as of tonight lost BOTH styli, that came with it.
So please, give me credit for using a screen protector and a retrofitted case (i DO care for my JasJar like it was a Furby!), and reccomend a decent replacement (3rd party) styli that works with it?
Thanks!
And I hope that the replacement 3rd party styli will have much better fit.
It' s a miracle I have not lost mine yet. Give the JJ a good shake and off the stylus goes flying.
Ha ha. I must agree with you both. I have been wondering why my JJ stylus was so easily taken in and out.
I have dropped the stylus many times (luckily it fell into the case) when I pulled it out from the case (if the JJ stylus slot side came in first to the case when its inserted). I changed the order inserting it to the case already, now with the stylus slot facing up, but it will not help preventing such an accident like yours, ROM_quest.
We're better be careful with this.

Hmm... my Jasjar stylus doesn't seem to be terribly loose... I don't think it's ever fallen out when I didn't want it to. I just sat here and tried to shake it out and I wasn't able to. Maybe there's a problem with your device?

Hi Guys,
An update to my original post.
I found my style (yay!) on the floor of my vehicle.
FYI though, besides the backorder Expansys replacement Styli option, Boxwave has a multi-tool-stylus with pen made for the JasJar in stock.
Google Boxwave if you have a need for a replacement stylus...hopefully I can hold on to my (loose-fitting) one now that I have it back.
Cheers,
-Rom
Just an FYI, you may want to remove the stylus before removing the back battery cover. I'm sure some of you have heard there are a number of us Rhoduim owners found that out the hard way. It's written in the manual, this should be done before removing the back battery cover. What results from you not doing this is the battery cover get just the slightest little bend on the side the stylus inserts, then it will never fit the same.
I am still skeptical this is the reason why, but it really doesn't matter what I think at this moment. I know myself and a few others had to modify ours to get it to fit like its suppose to and there are others this didn't happen to. So just to let you know, better to be safe than sorry. Fortunately, my seller from overseas is sending me a new one (back battery cover). Hope for the best and enjoy this very cool device.
Thanks for the nice tip.
I'll keep this in mind.
FWIW: It appears the back of the T-Mo USA version is different from the ones that people are reporting problems with...I've taken mine off several times (with stylus in place) and I can't see where the cover tabs would be affected by the stylus...
Additionally, the T-Mo USA manual makes no mention of stylus removal prior to cover removal.
I've taken mine off 2-3 times with the TMO TP2 and have no problems with the stylus being in there.

I agree, I looked and studied where the stylus inserts in the back and I can't see where the stylus would have any effect on the removal of the back battery cover. But my back cover did need some modifying to fit properly again. It has a very slight bend on the side where the stylus inserts (just barely noticeable).
I didn't know it wasn't mentioned in the T-moe's manual. I was just trying to give y'all a heads up. I have never been one to open up the manual first, before taking off the battery door to install the battery. I guess now I know I should.

Been using the device for a month to date, hasn't been an issue for me.
I've only removed my battery cover around 8 times just to show iphone users what their phone can't do.
Just saw the hardware tour video of the T.Mobile Touch Pro2 and the casing design is very different from European/Asian HTC Touch Pro2 version, and from the video, it doesn't look like one needs to remove the stylus before removing the cover on the T.Mobile version.
On my Asian version, the stylus goes through an opening in the middle of the side of the removable back cover (on T.Mobile version, there is no opening), so while it may not be necessary to remove the stylus to take off the cover, it is advisable when replacing the cover to take it out beforehand.
The text in the user manual could have been referring to the European/Asian version, and was ported to T.Mobile without editing.
Yea, I see that now. I just didn't want these guys to have to go through the crap I had to go through with a brand new high dollar device.
Mods you can delete or close this thread if you like.
It's good to discuss these things sometimes. I much prefer the T.Mobile version - it has a better casing design than the European/Asian one, especially with the reset button.
are you joking?
The T-Mobile USA version looks horrid in comparison to the svelt european version.
They even crippled the software with the horrid Touchflo remix.
If I had to have the TP2 in that black USA flavour I simply wouldn't have bought it, especially with the re-assigned keyboard. I do like the idea of a reset button though.

lol take the trolling elsewhere, then take a look what AT&T did to their version.
And if you're about to get your brand new TP2, for goodness sake, DO NOT let the people at the store put the battery in the phone. My back cover is constantly falling off now thanks to an overzealous employee 'helping' me with my phone.

case designs are not just about looks
No, but they should have kept the chrome bezel. It was beautiful!
Soo, when it's damaged, the stylus just inserts and removes very tough at the beginning??? Correct? I haven't taken my stylus out till reading this thread, lol, and this stylus if freakin hard to remove. So, that means the back cover ****ed up my phone? lol, dam.
The T-Mobile employee put in the SIM and battery for me, I never knew about this. Dammit. Gotta take it back I guess. But that is what you guys experience when it's "damaged"? I'm getting this correct?
(And hello guys, I just got it yesterday, I'll be contributing to the community greatly, I think you guys will like me )

Exactly what happened to me. Accept I took off the back battery cover myself and then the battery cover was misaligned and would stay on correctly.

Hmm. Well, the stylus is basically un-removable, unless you got fingernails and you pry it, lol.
I'll be returning it for a new one, I guess. And I'm not letting T-Mo employees touch it this time
Hey Guys
Im new here but i had a question regarding my DHD's screen. Ive had the phone now for 4 months and have now noticed that in all of the high use area's, the screen has lost its shine. Any idea's of products that will replenish its shine? Or is it looking like a new phone screen? I'll try to put some photo's on ASAP.
Thanks for your help;

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I had a review unit from HTC that I got just before Xmas that suffered the same effect (i.e. if you're holding the phone looking at it, to the right of center was, eh, smudged, or something. It just wasn't as "glassy" as the rest of the screen. It ran form top to bottom and was about an 1-1.5inchs wide, and go much wider at the bottom).
Not sure if there's a fix tbh, I contacted HTC's PR here in Ireland who gave it to me originally, showed the the phone and they replaced it for me!
Hope you find a fix, but just wanted to share that I know what you're talking about.
Thank-you! So its not just me. All of my friends got the Wildfire and i got the DHD. The amount of mick-taking because of how much more i spent and its got faulty glass. It could be a trip to fones4u then. My only problem is, that although i have a receipt, it was not bought by me. So the invoice has the wrong address on. I will have to see. Anyway, thanks a lot for the response.

The only thing i've see that might help is Brasso Gadget Care, check some reviews of it on youtube, since i cant post links yet, but yea, i've been tempted to buy some for myself, but im using a screen protector atm anyway, but that might be your best bet to restoring that shine.
Hi Guys,
Just got my Huawei watch and since I´ve powered it on for the first time I am noticing a weird pattern of stripes on gray screens, on the settings menu for instance (a XDA member told me that's called banding). It´s hard to capture this on camera, but I am posting some pictures so you can see what I am talking about. Have anyone noticed something like that? Is this a problem or it´s nothing and I am overreacting? I couldn´t find any reports on this and this is not (as far as I know) related to the red tint issue.
On an unrelated matter, I also find the crown to be a little wobbly, and not very satisfying to press (it doesn’t make a good clicking sound). Is it supposed to be like this?
I appreciate your help.
Banding. Mine has none at all...I was actually looking for it when I first got the watch.
My button has a little play, but it clicks just fine.

I don't have that on mine but if it's bad I would exchange it. My button is rock solid and the screen is flawless so I'm glad I received a good one. I don't recommend things unless I know they are good and I like my watch from experience. Its been 3 weeks now and I love it the same as the first time I opened it.
Thank you for the reply!
I didn't know the technical term, thanks. I am going to edit the thread to use the right terminology.
Why did you look for banding? Why were you expecting this problem?
Should I return my watch? It's not so easy for me because I don't live in the US, so I would have to pay international shipping and I would not be able to buy a new one.

Just one of the things I check when getting a new device.

Is it a big deal? Can it get worse over time? Cause if it stays the way it is I can deal with it, specially because how hard it is for me to return it.
The first one I picked up had noticeable banding (a little less than yours), so I decided to pick up another one. The second one was worse. I fear it may just be the nature of the technology and I don't have the time and energy to keep gambling for a better unit.
At this point I'm undecided if I'm going to keep the watch. It's a shame as it is a really nice looking device.
Btw - both watches had wobbly buttons, but that isn't really too bothersome.
Thank you very much for your reply! You are the first other person to report this issue. I was starting to think that I had terrible luck with that unit.
Well, mine went back to Amazon. And since I don't live in the US, it's hard for me to try again (have to wait for a friend to go there). And even if I had a second chance, I am not willing to take the risk of getting another bad watch. At this point I am very much considering the new Moto 360. It's got its flaws, but at least it doesn't have such wide spread issues.
Would you consider returning yours and trying the 360? If not, why's that? I would like to learn your opinion.
Thank you again!
Not a problem! I also considered the 2015 Moto 360 (42mm), but decided on the Huawei Watch. The Moto 360 is a very stylish watch and Moto Maker is downright awesome. However, the 2 reasons I chose the Huawei Watch are the reportedly bad dim mode and the "flat tire". I enjoy using WatchMaker to create watch faces and I'd rather not have to design around the flat tire. A friend of mine has the previous Moto 360 and doesn't mind it, though. I think it's more of a subjective issue.
I'm doing my best to get used to the banding and I think that it is only noticeable in straight gray environments (though that includes settings). I have a feeling that I'll notice it less and less over time, but your watch had worse issues than mine and I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, mine was very noticeable.
Do you think I should try a new one? How confident are you that the HW is going to hold up over time?
Do you think that the Moto 360 has a better chance of lasting longer? (no burn in, can charge the battery easily without having to buy a proprietary charger to carry around)?
I would appreciate your opinion.
I know this is a pretty old thread but I didn't want to start a new one for a similar issue. I got my watch today and I notice banding on my display as well. It's mostly visible with solid colors. I'm debating exchanging it with Huawei (I bought it direct through them). I'm trying to determine if this is normal or a defect

I can say for my watch, I have no banding like what you show in the pictures.

I am sorry to hear about your problem.
My watch had different banding. It was more noticeable in gray screens. It didn't have any banding in solid colors. I ended up returning mine. If it's easy for you I would exchange it. Good luck
Couple questions. Can anyone move their home button at all vertically? Mine does slightly only on the left side. Also if I just barely push/click it on the very right corner of the button I can make it click without a response however if I push it with normal force on the right it responds like normal. I can't do this on the very left side/corner. That side is very sensitive and if I barely touch it it responds. The feel/sound is a little different when I push the right side too. It's definitely a tighter fit on that side.
I'm wondering if I should go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement because of this. My s6 had a bad wobbly loose home button and it was annoying. I ordered my phone through Verizon customer service through an upgrade. If I want them to send me a new one they have to charge me $200 again and then when I send one back I have to wait 10 days for a refund.. And the closest Verizon store is almost 2 hours away
I'm also hesitant to swap bcuz first charge on this one and I'm already getting over 6 hours on screen time and I haven't even disabled any bloatedware yet. It however does have the gap/light leak all around but apparently majority of them have that. Advice? What would you do in my position? Thanks guys... Wish I could just get a perfect device for once.
I have been reading your multiple threads about your issues, I think you are not comfortable with the device and would advise you the get an exchange without hesitation. In my experience, when I start finding multiple flaws on anything, that is just my subconcious telling me I am not comfortable. Go get it exchanged, you will be much happier.

I also noticed the OP complainings. This is the best advice he can get.
Honestly I think most home buttons are exactly the same. I just have ocd and I'm anal over stuff like this. I notice little things that most people don't. It's just impossible to get a perfect unit. Every single one will have something it seems. There's nothing really wrong with it. I have to purposely barely press it in one side for it not to register. I might go to Walmart and see if they will show me a few units just to see if I find any better but idk. Performance wise this one has been amazing and the battery is blowing me away.

Dude, let me stop you right there. The best cure for this, after your medicine, is the following logic:
The reason you are freaking out is the excitement of a new gadget and you want it to be perfect. But everything that exists is flawed and nothing lasts.
Think how your phone will be worthless in one year when they will release the new Model with 4k Display, 806 PPI with awesome VR experience.
You won't give a damn sht about the home button on the model you are holding right now. In 5 years your phone will be as worthless as garbage.
Just enjoy your phone try new apps, and don't think about issues before they even exists. If one day your phone's home button stops working, then you will think about it.
gl dude!
