I just noticed that my slider seems to be a little loose. Not overly loose, but enough to make the vibrate function sound funny. After a little bit of investigating, it seems it is the bottom slider that is a little loose. Is there an easy fix for this?
Hey when I first got my Glide The Vibration was an earthquake a month later...... What The Hell I can't hear it at all! Only when its set on hard surfaces like tables desk and other stuff like that and it makes a weird noise to so I'm having the same problem

I've completely disassembled the phone and put a loose spring back in. Not very hard to do, just be careful and don't rip out the video cable like I did

I get the odd feeling that that would produce obvious warranty-voiding signs...any other less-obvious causes?

When I slide up my keyboard it gets stuck I was wondering if there is a way to lubricate it so it slides normally again

Tear it down and remove the sand.
I'd recommend while you have it apart that the sliding mechanism get blown out with canned air, wiped clean with an alcohol wipe, dried completely, lubed up with spray silicone lubricant on a Q-Tip, and any/all excess silicone wiped with a dry Q-Tip.
Can't find a teardown video, but if you've taken apart one cell phone, you can apply the same principles to pretty much any other. Get some safety pry's, a really small Torx driver, eyeglass repair kit for the philips screws, and rubber-tipped tweezers for any ribbon-locks. Just take it slow and diagram out the entire process on a couple sheets of paper, noting step-by-step.

Know what I did? Just hold it firmly, and slide it up and down untill it feels normal again... blow on it a lot too.

I took compressed air and blew it out and now its normal

good to hear. i once (more than once...) dropped my droid 1 in a puddle and it ended up with silt or some very fine **** in the slider. it would slide ok but just the feel of it, i knew there was junk in there. i put alcohol on the sliders and opened/closed it a few times, applying the alcohol like once a day for about a week then cleaned it out with compressed air. worked great. also worked well when whiskey ended up in there!

Actually, I figured out that the sand was coming from my pockets. Lol. I knew I was more responsible with my devices than that

Somehow my headphones screwed up the headphone Jack. I took off the black tape on the back and noticed that if I push and hold the metal L shaped thing down it will work. Is there any way to fix/replace this?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
In the same boat buddy. I think I read somewhere that if you take a cue tip and rip off some of the padding so it can fit with a little padding still stuck to it, you can clean it out a bit and then wet the tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol to get a better cleaning out of it. It may help or you could be like me and have hardware failure and need to take it in.
Hmm thanks glad to know its not just me. Do you have a link to that thread? What happened to you?

Hey guys so I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but my volume buttons are a bit loose and they rattle if I shake the phone. I tried tightening the screws on the back but it didn't do much. Is there any trick to make then fit better or just stop raddling?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Stop thinking about them is the best option. Unless they fall off or get compacted I wouldn't worry about them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
yea... tightening the screws on the back of the phone would probably do little more than run the risk of stripping the threads or something. Generally, there isn't anything holding these types of buttons in place aside from the overall design of the phone being done to have them nicely seated in place. Chances of anything happening just because of wiggling buttons are slim, IMHO.
Buy an iPhone.
Haha sorry I had too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I had the same problem, you can actually pop out the volume button pretty easily by using your nail and pulling. All that's holding it in is a rubber piece under the volume button. Once I had it out I tried to realign the rubber piece on the volume rocker and popped it back into the phone. Now it no longer rattles. :laugh:

Lol short ones. Try using a credit card. You can't break it because its just rubber holding it in.

This should be covered under warranty, have you contacted the reseller.

While charging the phone does it seem like the micro USB charger just seem to fall out
Yup mine does it too, just takes a light tug and it falls out.
Mines actually pretty snug. Doesn't seen to move much at all on me

I think you are just not putting it in all the way... with mine if I put it in softly it just falls out, but a little beyond that it feels like you are just going to go through the phone but it's like a second layer of safety

There was a thread about this in the international forum. They believe some are wonky and people have modified them so that they stay in.

Anyone else notice a little lifting on the screen/bezel right around the charging port? Creaking when bezel is pressed? CONFIRMED.
Sorry to hear ,mine is pretty solid to me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I hear a little clicking sound when squeezing gentle on the bezel in that area, but the glass in that area looks flat and properly installed. I also noticed a very small sensor of some kind, centered in the bezel, just above the charging port. Probably just the hardware under there touching when it is squeezed. IMHO. Nothing that's making me unhappy!!

Yes, have heard of the LED Notification capability, but haven't been "notified" yet to see it in action!! lol.......thanks.
Oh no.. Not this again. Please guys, don't go squeezing it all over looking for a squeak.
If you can visibly see a lift than rma it. If you are squeezing it all over looking for a sqeak then you have way to much time on your hands..

Just saying, I would hope on the second time around ASUS would have figured this out. With my first gen N7 I had to take it apart and jam a qtip in it to help with the screen lift issue but this model doesn't look like it comes apart as easily. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse or its going back. Never had any problems like this with any of my other tablets.

Mine is rock solid. No creaks at all.

Mine does. And my screen now seems a bit unresponsive. It won't respond to some of my touches often and I'd have to press hard. Not sure if its the screen protector I put on it (though it didn't have that problem before) or the screen lift.
Asus, you suck.
Mine used to be good, it now creaks very audibly when pressed on the top left area.
Maybe the glue dried out lol?
Sucks that I had this same issue on my 2012 nexus 7.
Asus....Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me...
