hey folks,
i noticed that the distance between the upper part (display) of the kaiser and the lower one (keyboard part) seems to get more and more away from each other. on the left side of the kaiser, where both parts are connected the distance between both parts is tiny but on the right side the distance is like 6 or 7 times bigger.
so when i type in with the stylus i notice that on the right side, the upper part in knocking on the lower because of the distance...
i hope ya'll know what i mean and my question is, if theres a way to bring the upper part closer to the keyboard so thats the same distance of the 2 parts on both sides?
I had not had the tiny rattling sound that comes from the rolling wheels under the slider until today, after I dropped my X1 for the first time. But, after reading around and finding the source of the rattle - the tiny metal wheels under the front of the device - I was able to stop the noise. (not to mention being relieved it wasn't something more serious)
The noise is the light rattle coming mostly from the top end of the front as well as the bottom, louder at the top. It sounds almost like a loose screw and makes noise even just from turning the phone upside down, more high-pitched than the other possible noises. Testable by putting pressure on the front of the device, just to the left of the light sensor. if you push down and shake the noise disappears. The source is the little roller wheels under the slider.
This noise is not the optical joystick and not the camera rattle. The joystick rattle can be detected by holding your thumb with a slight bit of pressure over the optical joystick and gently shaking, if that noise goes away, this will not fix it. If the sound is more of a quiet clunking sound that only happens with a jolting shake, the source is the autofocus of the camera and will not be fixed by this.
How I stopped the noise:
I fixed this by cutting thin slices of clear tape, about 1 mm wide and 3 mm long and placed them flat on the metal of the keyboard, then closed the phone. I slid some paper in the gap to make a cushion and applied pressure to the front face to push the tape up onto the wheels more firmly. No more noise.
To make the fix invisible, use a second strip of tape to hold the edge of the tape that will remain so you can position it far enough inside it cannot be seen and then remove the second strip.
Credit to qpwoeipt's post that got me to this idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3171129&postcount=11. There are photos in that post that will illustrate the location of the wheels, plus you can see them if you look in the gap above the keyboard.
Cool tutorial there dude!!!
Seem a bit excessive though for something i never notice or get bothered by
Still cool idea!

The noise I was suddenly hearing was quite loud and happened with the slightest movement, very much like a small loose screw moving around. Since it happened only after dropping the phone (for the first and hopefully last time), I really wanted it eliminated.
Hi,
You all have seen topics about screens not correctly aligned with speaker grills. My issue is a bit different. The top speaker grill seems to be curved (the middle of the grill is lower (like 0.5-1mm) than the left and right border).
In fact, in the corners, the screen is flush with the grill but not in the middle, the screen is a (very) little bit higher than the speaker grill but I feel it when I swipe down notification and it bother me. I realy don't want to return this phone because everything else is perfect so here is my question :
Do you have any clue on how to give a "flat" style to the grill without damaging the screen/speaker/front camera... ?
Thank you in advance.
The S-Pen is a bit shaky on the clicking end, and it makes a sharp rattling sound when the phone is shaken. Especially when you're tapping on the lower part of the glass (While typing mostly) - this is so irritating.
Any DIY thoughts to stop this ?
I couldn't find a S-Pen disassembly guide either.
Did anyone notice the slight space on back sides of the panel, I have inconsistent spacing across the back panel of my edge 30 ultra, near power button and at the bottom edges of the phone.
