so i just got my tilt.. and when i slide the screen open and tilt it up it almost seems lopsided.. the right side of the screen is up higher then the left.. if this is a defect im going to get a new one but id like some input to see if others phones are like this... i can push down on the screen's top right corner and make it level..
Funny you should say that...I always just assumed it was an optical illusion due to the shape of the face (the shiny black 'surround' not being uniform all the way around). So I measured it and the right side is about 1/16" higher. Noticeable, but no big deal. Is yours more lopsided?
mine is the same size.. i guess it has to do with the spring loaded feature..but it has a very tight tension on it if u push it down it floats right back to the 1/16th area
I've had 2 of them and both were the exact same way.
so this is how the phone is suppose to be then? the top right is up a little higher then the top left?

is there or can anyone create a small applet that can use the kaiser's touchscreen as a scale to measure weight, such as 0.3grams
...what's that white stuff on your phone?...kidding. kewl idea
Cool idea! So, is there anyone that can elaborate on the technical details of how our touchscreens function so we can figure out if the idea is feasible?
Here are some links, im really liking this idea. I even believe it could work. I doubt it would work for measurments over 45g

The reason I can see this working is the screen depends on the screen being pressure sensitive.
well, we are able to change the sensitivity of our touch screens, can't we incorporate that into a simple application

Haha, you guys are funny... i hope it takes gram and dime
can anyone do anything with this lol?
I want a pocket scale! That would be sooo handy! ; )
HAHAHAHAHA Oh, the possibilities!
lmao its hilarious because me and a few of my friends have been talking about that for ages, and assumed it not possible. If it is, id pay. I got like $15 goin to whoever makes that program >D
It isn't. Touchscreens of the kind you find on the kaiser are made of 2 layers separated by little "rubber spacers" (the dots you can see when looking at the screen when it's off in strong light). The pressure needs to be great enough to bend the upper layer and have it touch the other one. But as it's the pressure that matters, if you put a weight that is the size of the screen, even if it's 100-200gr the screen won't even feel a press.

I was thinking the same thing. However, it still seems like it could be done with a standardized container, such as a bottle cap. That way you have the same area always touching the screen, and just the force changes (pressure = force / area, and force is weight). Stick a standardized 1 gram weight in the cap, put it on the screen, run the calibration part of the program, then always use that cap to hold whatever you're weighing.
I still don't know if the screen technology would let this work, but I think there's a chance. Perhaps the program could sweep the screen sensitivity from low to high, looking for when a "screen tap" is sensed, if simply looking at the touchscreen output isn't enough to determing weight...
I got 10 on it.

I thought of that too, but seeing the pitch of the dots I guess the contact surface would have to be relatively small (like max 3x3mm), which would lead to the holder tipping over all the time... Not to mention the response on the screen is most likely less than linear, so one would have to always use the same "spot" on the screen to put the container on... At this point my little 500gr/0.1gr resolution pocket scale seems more convenient
oh well, thnx
I don't know if its just me, but I think I'll look kinda weird at the spuermarket putting bananas on my phone
Dude you have to be the ONLY person who thought, "scale? Bananas!"
hi
I have a little problem. My kaiser just came back from service after a month, because of the broken screen.
I have noticed that the gap between the casing. Let me illustrate on a picture, the gap is in red color
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/dpleja/htc-kaiser.jpg
ok, if i push the far left end of my kaiser, the gap is about 2mm
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/dpleja/DSC04640.jpg
i thing that this gap was smaller before...how big is it on your kaiser?
Woah. That looks messy (I'm sorry to say!)...
The gap on mine is pretty equal along its length (maybe slightly wider (almost immeasurably so) toward the 'bottom') - but I'd say it's less than a millimetre all the way down its length.
...Certainly A LOT more flush than in your pic.
If you need me to I'll post a pic for you to use as ammunition when you kick ass about it...
Regards,
Rob.
mine is equal also along it's length, but because of the angle it doesn't look like that. Its 2mm across the whole phone. I still think its too much
Definitely something wrong there

There's definitely something wrong there. Mine is even all the way along and is about 0.6 mm. I'd be getting back in touch with the repairer/possibly the courier who delivered it back if there's any chance the damage happened in transit. They may claim additional parts are required (at more $$$/£££) to fix it though

Looks like when they were working on your phone, they either bent the rails or the mounting bracket that slides on the rails.
i have just made a video of the problem

I believe you, I believe you! What more do you need to know, there's a problem with the phone if the gap is wildly uneven when sitting flat with no pressure on the device. What are the repairers saying and what are you going to do about it?
i have returned the phone, wee will see what the service guy will do with it.
I just got a NC for christmas and am wondering if I need to return for a new one. On the left side while in portrait mode, I notice that the bezel is able to flex when I pinch the top and bottom side togeter. The right side does but not nearly as much. I can also see a little light bleeding out from the edge.
Is this common and worth my time to exchange? THanks.
Anybody have any insight?

Flexing is common, but light bleeding is not something I would want to live with...
I would exchange it if I were you.
I don't really see any flexing, but I do notice that the Nook does creak slightly when I'm holding the left side (portrait). So I guess there is a tiny bit of flexing on that side.

Same, supa solid, just can feel it move a bit on the upper left by power (cant tell by eye)
No flexing at all for me.... feels very solid all around... So its not ALL of them.
Mine creaks on the left side as well.
I have the exact same issues as the op. I think Im going to return it though since i can't live with the little bit of creaking.
As for the OP's inquiry, its really up to you to decide if you can live with it or not.

Same here. I can hear the creak but not feel any flexing. And the addition of the silicon case makes any creaking inaudible, which I'm thankful for.
Hi,
My Z have a gap the width of finger nail between the screen and the plastic boarder on the left hand side of the phone. This can be seen very easily after a day in the pocket. The right hand side is fine, with hardly any gap.
The phone is only 3 days old, my worry is the gap will let in water and dust in the long team.
Can Z owners please have a quick check of their phone see if this is normal for me
I have attached some pictures of my phone.
1st picture:
Blue shows the gap on the left hand side.
Red shows gap on the right hand side.
Green bit is normal, it looks like a gap, but it is refection of the light off the screen proctor.
2nd pictures show close up of the left hand side.
3rd picture show close up of the right hand side.
Many thanks
Mine doesn't seem to have gaps like that. The one on the 2nd picture looks very wide.
So I got my T-mobile HTC One through their online store about two weeks ago, and right out of the box I noticed something funny... The screen in the upper right hand corner wasn't quite flush with the top metal faceplate. It stuck out a bit, but I didn't really care too much because hey, I had an HTC one and it was amazing..
Since then I've noticed that the screen in the upper right hand corner will slowly work it's way out until it sticks out fairly noticeably, maybe 1/16th of an inch. It can be felt for sure and seen if you look closely. If you push on it, it will slide back in to where it's flush and stay there for a few hours while it works it's way back out again.
Originally this wasn't such a big deal for me, but it seems like it may be getting worse and I'm starting to get nervous.. My question is has this been seen by anyone else? And is it such a problem that I need to go through the issue of sending it back in for a replacement? The T-mobile store said they'd swap it out, big they don't have any in stock so I would have to go through the ordeal of sending it in and waiting for it to get back to me, and then what if there's a huge gap or a worse issue with the one I get back... Ugh.
So does anyone know anything about this?

Both top and bottom of mine are slightly raised compared to the speaker grills. I think nothing of it. Enjoy your bad ass phone.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking.. I want it to be no big deal haha. It's actually really reassuring that I'm not the only one... How long have you had your one, if you don't mind me asking?

For almost 3 Weeks now. My Wife's also has a slightly raised screen edge on both top and bottom.
I think it's fairly normal, and I don't think it's a problem, honestly.
After seeing the official double dip case for this phone, it actually works to our benefit (if using that case) since it would seal out dust better.
Intentional? Maybe.
But most likely the screen raises after the phone heats up from usage due to the internals being crammed in there and the battery (and other heat affected materials) swelling ever so slightly. Normal stuff I'm sure, and not enough reason for me to worry about the slight ridge I feel if I start my swipe too high when I'm pulling down the notification bar.
