Hey guys, first of all great forum. Anyway I was wondering if any of you guys get a small creaking sound when you tilt your screen up and down? Its really sad but these things kinda bother me. thanks
I don't, my tilts up fine. Your hinges could be getting rusty.
anyones tilt doesnt stay tilted??? =) like u tilt it up and then it will go back down..
no sounds
get it checked
is the mechanism adjustable as this may help....I would like to adjust mine because when I hold the case when it's closed it will go slilghtly ajar and seems like it should be tighter. Does anyone know how to adjust these?
Ok These are Springs that cause all this, the creaking, the ajarness.
And If I can offer some advise. If you do go trying to replace this part, which you can do. Please wear eye protection.
Lol replacing those would probably be hard and not a good idea, Tytn II looks to have a pretty complicated body.

LOL, so funny. I recently received a replacement Tilt, and it had the creaking like you mentioned. I thought I was being crazy, but it really bothered me, so I called them and had them send a new replacement out. The new one no longer creaks, and
I feel much better

Yeah, mine got really loose and wouldn't stay up, and it was also really sloppy, i.e. the screen would wobble back and forth when it was open. As it turned out I was able to fix it myself by popping the unit open, and inside the body there are 4 screws (once you get to them) that hold the hinges in and control their tension. I tightened the screws and have had no problems since. I got the disassembly instructions from the Wiki, they were in Russian but the pictures were explicit enough.
For those that were considering a new housing for their X7501 I found a website I recently placed an order with. For the past few weeks my searches were coming up with the housing for the X7500's but I lucked out tonight. If anyone's interested in purchasing a new housing the link is:
http://www.order-bulk.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=dopod+u1000&Search=Search
I'll give feedback after my order is received.
now i need to have $100... i want this. i will need this in the future, but i must get one right away.

I know responderman had done the swap of the housing already. He might have some information along with pictures on it. If you don't get any replies or find anything let me know and I'll see what I can come up with. I too myself will need it anyway. My housing should be here any day now.
EDITED:
Use responderman link , post 9
Just to say it is tricky will be an understatement, so I would ask for advice from somebody that has done it, even with the manual, just to minimize damage.
Im here guys its not that hard when you know what to look out for. I will let you know more when you are ready.

I am receiving my housing today, please provide details and step by step guide, how you did it. I am awaiting your feedback your help is very much appreciated

I'd love to look at the manual you attached, but when I try to unzip it, it asks for the next part of the archive... was this a spanned zip file?
The file link Responderman gave is coming up blank for me. Anyone got a better link to this repair manual? I dropped my x7501 and smashed the corner of the case - still works fine, but the case is slowly disintegrating....!!!
same here, cant download megaupload file, and part of zip missing :-S
thx
Zip file? Its a PDF file and the link is working fine. Ive just tested it on another computer. You should be able to download it and start it straight away????

I am so frustrated. After ordering my housing, it finally came today (2 wks late), only to find out it's the X7500 housing. Not only that but getting out the car it fell on the face and got a slight scratch on the side. I will attempt to reach out to the supplier and see why they have false advertising on their site. I'll see how the return works out.

By the way, did you have any trouble with the athena manual download I posted? it seems some cant see it, but they are on about zip files
Jay
managed to get the megaupload pdf downloaded, must have been my ffox noscripts!
ok, so p29-33 seem ok, how does the bottom panel (with the battery cover) slide off?
also, what about the vueflo button, does that just get pushed in and then the internal unit slides out?
thanks for your help, i too ordered off order-bulk, the black case, what is difference to x7500 case?
also, navi rubber button, does the rubber bit in center pull out, then reveals a screw? or does the whole bit screw off?

how does the bottom panel (with the battery cover) slide off?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you pull the navi rubber out, under it there is an screw, unscrew it and take the joystick, take out the power and comm manager/record bottoms
the top part is taken by starting from the corner ( next to the front camera) and continuing through to the other side (be careful with the volume bottom
pull the two plastic layers ( one in the corner other near the centre)
to take the plastic at the bottom, remove the screws and careful take the part
Now you should have a metal case opened at top and bottom, slide the internal parts towards the top
I didn't find it easy so read the manual until all is clear and good luck.
got mine today, no vueflo replacement button, and case bottom cover is warped! grrrr, peed off now, got an orange 'hole' where the vueflo was lol! (which apparently you can leave in place, same for 'ok' and 'menu' buttons on left, as theyre attached to the case, not the internal housing, which will slide out past them with no trouble! - hindsight eh!? marvellous thing!!!).
oh, and my rubber nipple cover pinged off somewhere into the obscurity of my carpet, great!!
edit: just a note, you don't have to take the battery bottom case part off first. you can do that once it's all slid out. much easier, as you can get to the little buggery clips without hassle!
Hi everyone,
I had seen a thread somewhere that someone mentioned that their battery was loose inside the phone and that the could hear it rattle around but I cannot seem to find that thread now.
I too have this issue. When I shake the phone for example I can hear the battery rattle around inside and when I take off the cover I can move the battery a bit from side to side. Can anyone tell me why this is?
I KNOW this is NOT a fake battery as I watched the store clerk open my box and build my phone from BRAND NEW and I have done the comparison on the batteries as well. It just seems that the hole for my battery is a bit too big orthe battery is a bit too small.
Can anyone tell me what I can or should do about this issue?
yes, i recall that topic as well
so you are not hallucinating
no idea where it went
if you do have this issue with the phone + battery, i'll suggest you take it back to bell for an exchange
they should be able to tell quite clearly this is not normal when they compare to the other phones they have
I stuck a business card, cut in half, between the battery and the cover. Seems to have filled the space in just enough to make a tight fit, my battery is no longer loose.
For now I have wedged a piece of paper between the battery and the hole and it has stopped the battery from moving as well but this should not have to be done I am sure.
@allgamer - I would take it back but I purchased it from Future Shop and the location I bought it has not received any new shipments in since and that was a month ago. The concensus from the Bell Stores here is the same as well stating that they are all on backorder.
I will keep my ears and eyes open on this and when they do have some new stock I will be bringing it to their attention for sure.
Yiann, even i have this problem with my bell i9000. I just found out and was looking if anyone else had this issue. I will take it in when i get a chance and will let you know. Did u get a chance to get it replaced or how did u fix this issue?
Thx
Raj

I have this issue too.. the battery is way too loose. It must be a common manufacture error.
Same problem
i also have a loose battery in my gti9000.....even after wedging a piece of folded paper in between the battery and the surrounding loose area and making it fit quite tightly, the phone still makes a rattling noise when it vibrates....though when i hold the phone in my hand, it doesn't make that rattling sound...wondering if it cud be something other than the battery...
hi everyone..
I have HD7 1 week and today notice that the battery cover has a gap..and you can see the SIM carde..
Is tha norman?
If not..
Where can i send my hd7 in order to be replaced?
Send it dirtectly in HTC ? (i'm from Greece and here is ACE Hellas)
Address it to the shop i bought it?
How many days did they spend to replace your mobile?
Thanks for your help
Normal, been had that. Think its super dope.
LOL. People consider this a problem...wow...
Just squeeze it?
I never had this problem until i remove both back covers. When putting them back on, there was a small gap between the 2 covers. I just pushed them back together by putting my thumb on the bottom of the phone (covering the headphone jack) and by finger on the top of the phone next to the power button and squeezing the phone.
No gap anymore.
It's normal, but who cares as long as it it doesn't affect the performance of the device.

Water will get into the phone, gap or no gap. It's not waterproof.
This just seems like poor quality or quality control on HTC's part.
I haven't noticed really since it's in a case.

lol... Let's drop any other smartphone in water and see if the outcome is different to that of the HD7.
Solution!
I had the same problem, here is the solution!
*Remove the battery door.
*Remove the SIM Card
*Grab a permanent black marker
*Color the area of the SIM card that is exposed to the crack in the battery door
*Apply again, rinse, repeat
*Reinstall SIM card
*Reinstall battery door
Problem solved!
Guess I'm a lucky one. No gap here.
Does the GAP have extended batteries?
Just recently I started hearing the back cover around where the sim card is begin to rattle when the phone vibrates. Its extremely loud
Has anyone else had this problem? Suggestions on how to fix it?
Cheers
I put a folded up paper towel under the back cover haha it works
Sent from my cappy from the darky 10.2 side using xda premium app
Yeah I'm not sure what I'm going to do... I really is pissing me off to be honest!
Any other thoughts?!
I have yet to find where the rattle is coming from...
If hold the case tight around the top part of the screen, it wont make the rattle either. I'm thinking about taking the phone in and RMA'ing it.
I've tried to put a paper towel behind the battery cover as well as a business card lol
Anyone else have any suggestions?

maybe get a tiny precision screwdriver and tighten all the little screws on the phone. I think there are some under the battery cover. here's the threa that will show where they are -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740022
Check the little door that covers the usb port. Check it in the open and closed position.
I dig up an old post about the rattle and another user suggested that I try and remove the SD card and at the time when I tried it, it worked which I thought was odd because I had already checked that once before.
Regardless, the noise came back and AT&T said they will replace the phone but I'm too lazy to drive to the store so I think I'm going to try and tighten everything first... hopefully if all fails it wont void the warranty
