Touch Pro 2 creaks when pressing down near the end call button

Hey guys, my T-mobile Touch Pro 2 creaks whenever I press down on the bottom corner with the end call button. Even when I slide the screen out and squeeze that corner it makes the noise. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I don't think you can expect anyone to respond with a fix such as a registry edit for your problem. Best to return it for an exchange if possible.

mine does the same, i always assumed it was just the nature of the hardware..

I noticed this on my brothers tmobile touch pro 2. And his is less than 20 days old.
But my tmobile touch pro 2 does not do this.
When I was checking his it did the cracking noise and did not feel correct.
Are you going to return yours and how long does it typically take to process an exchange. Can I just walk into a tmoible store to do it?

mine does too. its more of a feel than a sound. it doesnt appear to be hurting anything.

Mine too. Hadn't really considered it as a reason for repair until now

That sound comes from your battery cover. I have the same problem with mine as well. It's because the battery cover is not sitting plush against the innards of the phone.
Simple fix.
1) Cut a piece of paper about 4 inches long and 3/4 of an inch wide.
2) Make 2 folds... one from the left and one from the right
3) Place it on the battery and put the battery cover back on. Make sure you place it exactly as shown in the picture to avoid breaking any of the plastic locking extensions!
Problem Solved!
Pictures Here

Mine did the same (1 month old) , however with time the sound disappeared, if you try and slide the keyboard and hold the lower right corner of the screen then squeeze gently with both fingers you will hear the sound..... not sure if its considered a faulty thing, but I am fine with it...

[Flex] Wondering if I should get my HOX replaced

Last night while using the phone I noticed this slight clicking sound from the bottom right corner of the screen (touch-sensitive panel). So I kept pressing it and I wasn't hallucinating, its there. Also figured the sound also comes when I press the bottom right or bottom center edge of the phone. The creaking sound isn't loud but its noticeable when I hold the phone in specific angles and while typing if haptic feedback is on, I think the vibration also makes it happen(weird)
So except for this my HOX is fine and am wondering if I should get it changed.
Are there any long term effects to this? I'm starting to just ignore the sound and trying not to make it happen purposely

Depends, does it make the sound when you're using it normally? If it does I would consider swapping it, although you said everything else was fine.
If on the other hand, it makes the sound if you hold it in a certain way and push unusually hard then I would say stop intentionally pushing it in a weird way and use it properly.
People have been complaining about "screen flex" along the side of the phone when they push on the edge and run their fingers along the side. Want to get rid of the screen flex when you push the edge of your phone and move your finger along it? STOP PUSHING THE EDGE OF YOUR PHONE!!!
Just remember that some phones have had screen flickering, yellow marks and even scratches under the screen, you may not be as lucky as your were the first time if you choose to swap it.

what you described is not flex even, most mobile devices have a creak some where
Flex should mean the screen is literally loose to warrant an exchange

The only time I've noticed this sound while using the phone is during haptic feedback from typing on the keyboard. I switched haptic feedback off to save battery and for this 'problem'

I did reduce pushing it intentionally since last night after figuring it might mess it up more.

Yea after I got mind-f***ed I did press the edge a lot to be sure.(we humans ...) But now am controlling myself to not press the edge and use it normally.

Exactly why am thinking hard if I should get mine replaced. Another reason being I'll be leaving UAE(got the phone here) for good in a week and if by chance I do get a defective unit I'll waste a lot of time.
I'm not gonna play around with the edge anymore haha.

Yes you're right a lot of electronics and gadgets have creaking parts. Mostly the ones made outa plastic though. Does your HOX creak too?

my first flexed bad (soft one pressure, loose) on the left side, although i loved it so much because it had the much more dense yellowish sharp screen
second hox had a bad coating and slight flex on the left side, also hot pixels
third HOX my current is perfect, the screen is rigid on all sides expecially left and right, but it creaks if its around 50degree hot on two out of the four corners, very very slight creaks and only happens if it test it intentionally, it has the acer white screen with visible pixel grid, so the first hox screen i miss so much
im saying don't replace for a little reason bro it will be a bumpy ride, if the screen is loose then ok, you can see it by testing for light bleed in a dark room or if its physically moving

I think my screen is perfect. I can't figure how you're suggesting I test it, but pressing along the edges with slight pressure doesn't cause any change in the screen. The pixels are all good and no flickering. I think its a yellowish screen and not the bluish one.
How do you find out what LCD brand is on your HOX?

there is a guide somewhere on how to check the LCD
anyway it sounds perfect dont get rid of it!

Hmm I don't think I'll get it changed, I love it too much . Just have to get used to the occasional/random creak/click sounds from the device.

I know a bit of a Necro on this thread but I thought I would share my experience since I recently did 2 repairs on N5s (one Black one Red). The 2 LCD+Frames I bought from 2 different sellers had the speaker grill sunk in a bit on the front like the glass is thicker. Also on the Red one the grill was sort of a Metallic Red as opposed to the solid Plastic BRIGHT RED on the original. As for issues I ran into the Power button hole being off causing the button to get stuck and not reset fully. It'll be sunk in after pressing it the first time and be slightly raised from the frame. On the 1st one I had to do the "Button Rattle Fix Mod" to get it to seat repeatedly but that still wasn't quite right. On the Red one I fixed I had the same issue with the Power Button and I figured out what was causing the issue. It's actually 2 things: the opening height was just a slight bit smaller than the button itself and caused it to stick in the pressed position and also the seat was raised causing the button to become dislocated in an angular position. Once I figured this out I shave a very TINY fraction of the plastic away from those effected areas and BAM it works like it was an OEM one. As for the Grill I don't know how to fix that other than lifting the Glass from the Frame and I seriously don't want to do that.
I have the Black one (The 1st one I did coming back to me so I'll see if I can post a Vid of the effected areas.

Glad you got it fixed. As for the Power button Yeah that is the same issue I was having. See if you can trim a very tiny amount off the long edges of the hole. That should take care of it. I think it's a common manufacturing defect on the generic ones. Even if you got it from the UK chances are they got a bulk amount from China and just resell them. My black one I ordered was that way as the seller was definitely in the US. But both had the same problems.

Where did u get it from? Link and price if possible please. And was there black available?

Build quality / home button

Hi everyone,
since I have heard something about build quality issues, I wanted to ask you guys and see if these issues just concern very few phones or whether these are actually widespread problems.
So, can all of you HTC 10 owners please check and answer these questions:
Did your phone come with scratches on the display or the aluminium part out of the box?
Is the home button loose/or moving somehow if you apply pressure? (I know it is a capacitive button, but I read that some said it is somehow loose when being used sometimes)
Is the home button prone to scratches or abrasions from permanent/long-term usage? The reason is that the home button has a texturized surface, which I assume to rub off over time with constant usage.
Thank you very much for helping me guys! I really want this phone, but am afraid of these build quality issues.

1. No
2. No
3. Not that I've noticed in the month or so that I've had my phone.

1. I had a small Nick on the album body at the top next to the headphone jack. Also a small scratch on that plastic strip at the top of the phone as well. Other than that the phone was spotless.
2. No
3. No, though I'm not quite sure what you mean by permanent usage.

First of all, thanks for your answer!
I meant that the texturized surface might rub off over time in the long term.
Just edited my first post as well to clarify this.

No
Yes. It's loose from the center to the left. I can push it and when I do so, I hear some crunchy noises. But... You don't need to push it to unlock you phone because the fingerprint scanner.
I don't think so. The surface seems to be quite resistant.
But the loose home button bugs me.

- No
- No
- No

My home button does wiggle around a bit. Nothing too serious though. The fingerprint sensor works fine so I guess it's okay.

How do you figure out that it wiggles. I barely lay a finger on it so I don't think I would ever notice. Unless there's some significant looseness to it I guess?

Haha. I don't really feel it. It's just that it looked a bit tilted. So I pressed it a bit on the right side (very lightly, like you would when tapping your screen but like didn't remove it for a second) and it moved to one side. Even now when I look at it, it seems a bit off. It's minor but it's there.

home button defect? need advice..

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.

Maybe you're over thinking it lol mine sometimes clicks, sometimes doesn't, but never bothers me. But to answer your question on the vertical movement..the whole button has a slight vertical movement for me when I try and rock it lightly.

I think so too bro. I'm having Verizon mail me another one though and then I'll compare and pick. Had to drop another 200 bucks to get them to send another one lmao will refund though when they get one back...

It's very rare you find a galaxy phone with a perfect home button...

My recalled note was completely perfect, but the home-button on my new note often clips the glass on the left side. It's pretty annoying but I'm not sure if it's anything to return it for. The screen protector was also applied badly, completely unaligned and bubbly - seams quality went down after the recall.

Seems like every Galaxy device on this forum has a person who overly analyzes the behavior and mechanical characteristics of the home button....smh
