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 !

Creaking on my Gnex

hi guys I wanna shared this problem with all because maybe someone has an idea to solve.
I have problem when I press on the green areas of the image, I have a little Creaking, but it feels when I press a little hard, but still bothers me because it's a $700 phone, I bought my phone on ebay to a Chinese seller, so I think I'll have to find a solution for myself and I would like to know if anyone can give me an idea to solve this.
Thanks.

Nothing in either sopt for me. I have a minuscule amount creaking up at the very top of the battery door. Just have to push the battery over up a little bit and it goes away.

No creaking for me in those spots or anywhere else.

Ah, I have that creaking...but I have to push very hard. Bought mine via Expansys. Doesn't bother me too much. OP, how much pressure do you have to apply to make it creak?

Yea I definitely have the creaking when I press down around and below the camera. It's annoying b/c that's usually where I rest my finger when I'm on the phone. Is it worth trying to get the device replaced?

It always is and always will be user preference. Some people have lower thresholds for the little annoying things. Getting it replaced is solely up to you. For me, it's not a big enough issue.

No issue here. Sorry.

Cleaning white htc one x

How are guys cleaning the one x?
Mine already have some black marks on the back, I've been using my fingers and wet tissues.

Thats probably the only way.....I'm sure you could get a wet cloth or napkin and wipe it.
Saliva with fingers probably works too

Will the printed text on the back erase if we use wet tissues to clean the one x back in the long run .

No offense intended, but I think I made the right decision to get the dark grey version.
Were you successful on removing the marks on your white One X?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

I've been avoiding wiping the label just in case it does fade.
Marks are pretty easy to clean, but its even easier to get the marks back on. Fingers with even a little bit of dirt will make visible marks. I can just see my phone turning yellow in a years time.
Definitely recommend a case. Mine still haven't arrived yet.

yea I took out a white one out of box to check it out before I delivered it to its buyer, but man in 5 minutes the thing collected every conceivable dirt and speckle, the back doesn't smudge however unlike the grey

I use a mild detergent or diluted dishwashing liquid, some cotton balls and a bowl of water.
works well.
Edit:
Got the idea from this at the launch.

Anyone noticing this?

On the back of the phone, towards the bottom of the back there are these marks/scratches that are popping up.
As you move your finger over them, you can feel the texture changes.
Why would these appear if I baby my phone, and have had a case on it from day 1.
It isn't making sense.
I tried to see if I could remove it with a cleaner, but no avail.
What are your thoughts?

I have seen these. Even with a case, you get dust(dirt particles) under the case. As you use the phone normally it does move a small amount in the case and that will scratch the back a little. At least this is what I think is happening as its happened with every phone Ive owned thats been cased.

Yes mine has it..... No case... But my last phone (xperia arc) went through more abuse and has no scratches. I don't have a clue what it is about that general area.

Got these as well. Exact same location. I guess the plastic backing finish is real easy to scratch up. Sucks but at least it is minimal.

I got them too, but at least I can just buy a new back or something.

I have tons of scratches on the back of mine. I set it in the cup holder when I listen to Pandora in the car. Recently these red marks have shown up... they won't rub off and I'm thinking its the color underneath the paint.

[Q] Top speaker louder than the bottom?

My top speaker (near the camera) is louder than the bottom one. Is anyone experiencing the same thing? Maybe the bottom speaker is quieter because the USB port is sharing the same space.

Yeah it seems slightly quieter. Hard to notice unless you look for it.

anybody else?
:fingers-crossed:

I just realized this as well while listening to some music. Is it normal though?
Nexus 7 FLO

hopefully that is normal. I wonder if the top speaker is one large unit, while the bottom speaker is 2 smaller units split by the USB port in the center. i guess we'll know once someone opens it up.
Edit: ifixit already opened it up.
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072/1
The 2 oval things at the far left and right are the speakers. Left one is the bottom speaker (near USB port), right is the top speaker.

No, the speakers are kind of weird. For the top speaker there is a single speaker in the middle of the perforated back.
But for the bottom speaker, the speaker is off to the left side of charging port. I can't even tell for certain if the sound is able to come out the other side do to the USB port being in the middle and those speaker holes may just be there for aesthetics.
Just is just my interpretation from the ifixit tear down.

I bet the speaker placement has something to do with the simulated surround sound...

I believe it is because the opening is bigger on the top than on the bottom. Covering up part of the top speaker opening seems to prove that.

NVM I've come to the conclusion too quick. It is still louder on the top.
