Stylus problem

When i first got my diamond the stylus used to snap in through magnetism back into its location. The snap in effect has now gone. anyone else had the same poblem

yes, there is a little magnet inside the slot where the stylus goes.
if you are lucky it has just moved, so you will have to put it back.
the magnet (a rectangle about 2x15 mm) is placed right next to the bottom of the battery.
it looks like at piece of plastic so it might be hard to see it.
on side of it is with stickytape (i guess the tape is not very good)

Yes i did my magnet had fallen out! Orange replaced the handset for me...

thanks for that i am with oranage so will give them a call,

to be honest it took some phone calls to change it. Best to tell them because of the loose stylus your phone keeps unlocking itself and it rings people.

[Q] Battery GAP :/

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.

Wait until water gets in and then will you find out.

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?

[Q] Battery Cover Squeeks

After sometime i've started noticing that the battery cover squeeeks specifically if the backside is facing you the left middle part of the back cover squeeeks if you press it it is loose or squeeks is that normal?

Mines the same, pretty annoying, had to put some electrical tape for a tighter fit.

how / where did you put it?

Where the squeek comes from. or try bluetack

i mean you place it inside the cover or externally?

Internally on the inside of the cover

Thanks. I'm going to think about that method

Same thing on mine. Just put on a case, and no more squeaks!

Same I got a cover for the phone. The tight fit stopped the squeek

i have capdase and i still had the squeek, i put in fillers inside the phone and no more squeeks. hopefully my ottercase gets here so that i can take the filler out already.

I have the CaseMate Barely There atm, and it got rid of the squeak completely. Altho, it wasn't really a squeak in my case. It was more of a popping sound.

For what it's worth, I use the Otterbox Commuter and the squeak is still there. I'm seriously considering flashing back to stock and returning the phone for repair or replacement. I know its a small issue but I am also getting 5 second drop outs when on calls.

Close the battery case properly and you will have no squeek. Nothing by me

So does the noise go off after putting the tape inside/outside? Does it look ugly>?

Put some electrical tape on the inside of the cover where it squeeks.
Ugly? You don't see it since it's on the inside.

how long have you had the unit? if you flash and take the battery out once in a while the squeek will come up eventually.
and "close the battery case properly".... how many ways can you close it.

I am going to get a cover for the phone soon but for a temporary fix, I placed a paper peice on the top right side and no more creeking

Does anyones incredible s battery cover squeak?

I noticed that when I pressed on it slighty there was a slight squeak noise that came from the casing. I had recently bought a replacement cover and it was fine and than it did the same thing. What is this? Is it normal for most incredible s devices because I have heard other ppl had the same problem. I dont care as much because I have a case for mine but what about you guys??? Any squeaking issues??? LOL

Yes, same here, mines pretty bad actually!
I've got a case on top and its a tight fit, so it doesn't squeak.
Bad design flaw IMO.

Arrgh, it brings out the OCD in me LOL. But I have a case so it isnt bad, and its only in one little corner and I have to press on it so I geuss its not that bad. Its really a shame because I love this phone and thats its only flaw.

The same case here too.
For me its at the corner. I guess its due to the pressure while we want to unlock the phone, we tend to press the back cover first before hittin the power button.
Ive got a red IS, dunno if i can get another replacable one or not...
P.S I aint using any case or anything, its as fresh as outta the box XD

I believe the squeak is caused by some empty space existing between the phone and the back cover. Stick a strip of duct tape on the inside part of the back cover where it squeaks. It should solve the squeaking problem.

Mine squeaks really badly around the volume buttons. putting a case on fixes it though.

Yep mine squeaks too, the corner near the camera.

Squeaky
No, mine has not had any squeaks. The USB port does rattle a bit. But not enough to get up in arms about. I find the fit and finish surprisingly good considering the chassis seems to be all plastic.

Isnt that not going to be good for the battery? Overheating it or something? I am kind of weary about putting things inside the phone

yeah it has been discussed tht the cover does squeek, either you have a case that is able to press on the phone good enough to prevent it from squeeking or you put fillers inside the phone to stop the squeeking

How do you think that would overheat the phone, exactly? It's not like phones have vents or fans that could be blocked by the tape.

Lol I don't know I'm just weary about stuff when it comesbto my phone maybe ill try that

Of the ones that squeak (including mine), how many people have removed the back cover? Mine didn't start to squeak until the third time in pulled the battery cover off. I have noticed that on one side there is a small gap along one side more so than the other.

Mine definitely squeaked as if the cover was loose. It's not much of an issue with a case though.

Yep. Mine squeaks.
Top right (Near the camera & power button) and bottom left (near the home button). Intrigues me that it's like a diagonal thing. oh well.
I lold.
Don't really care though. xD

Just send them an email with some proof, some pictures and maybe a short video which you can clearly hear the sqeezing.
I did that and they send me a new cover

I was able to fix this once by somehow properly placing the back cover back on but when the next time I removed it and placed it back, I again started to have the squeak so I used some plastic tape, placed it on the side of the back as well as the top, placed the back cover back and no more squeaking
I had squeaking on the right top and side.

Same here. Mine started squeaking after I removed the back cover for the third time as well. For me it's on the right side, smack in the middle of the device (where my middle finger rests when I hold it in my left hand )

FML!!!!! Arrgh now I have to buy a display replacement and open up my phone to replace it...because it bugs me. I dont want to go through warranty, I will have to unroot my phone and S-on. Arrgh
Anyone else with this?

MicroSD Cover Very Loose

Does anyone else seem to be having this issue? Mine will never close completely and does not stay flush agains the phone like the sim card cover does... I can't seem to get it to stay completely closed no matter what I do. Is it supposed to be completely flush agains the side of the phone?

It is definitely supposed to be flush against the phone.

I'll see if I can get it to shut, otherwise I'll have to see about a replacement door. Thanks!

I received my phone today and unboxed it.
I immediatley noticed a slightly opened nano SIM slot cover. I tried to push it in but the cover always popps out after a while.
I cleaned it with alcohol to get more friction between the o-ring and the mating surface of the cell phone but it continued to popp out.
Looks like they have some issues with the covers and the shape of the o-ring/ packing.
Its definitely not water proof like that so I am sending it back to get a replacement phone.
However, the micro SD slot cover on my phone was flush and tight.

Hi, I have same problem. Cover is popping out slightly immediately after closing and after some time in pocket its usualy almost or completly opened.

same problem here, sim card flap keeps popping open, only arrived today from o2, i take it the only solution is to return?

yep, this might seriously endanger the water/dustproof thingy.

**UPDATE**
I exchanged it and the replacement phone doesnt has the problems.
So if you get your phone, check it first for this failure.
Some have it, some dont.

Ughhh this is kind of crap, I took a risk and bought this phone from a seller outside my country :crying: and Sony Canada won't recognize their warranty. Other than this flap issue I really love it..

Just return it for a refund or exchange, I assume you got it from Clove or Handtec. Sony Canada probably won't start fixing these devices until it is actually released in Canada.

Same problem here exactly!
Returned mine back to the store today, took some time to convince them that there was a problem as the flap takes about 3-4 minutes to pop up out of it's hole and only comes out about 0.5-0.8mm (hardly a lot), but enough to make me concerned about it not being fully waterproof. Apparently it was the first Sony Z3 compact that has this problem, but I'm glad I saw this thread before going back to the shop
Eventually the guy said they'll take it and get it repaired and will take 2 weeks to get it back, hopefully all it needs is a new flap.
Glad I took it back though, and hopefully when it returns the flap will stay down, as otherwise it is the best phone I've ever had!

I had this problem with USB flap, O2 replaced the phone straight away..

I had exactly this problem. In my pocket the cover would work its way loose after a few minutes.
I noticed that the stem of the cover was not perpendicular to the short edges of the cover itself, so when closed (with the stem presumably parallel to the screen), one of the long edges would be pushed outwards. I hope that's clear ish. Anyway, bending the stem to be perpendicular to the cover seems to have fixed my problem. I've been using my phone all day, and the cover hasn't come loose once.
I'll keep you all posted as to whether this "fix" keeps working.

The fix works

I've had the same issue as you, but after i bent a bit the flap cover's stem(tiny plastic stem that holds the flap cover between the port's hole and the flap cover), the flap cover was fixed.. you need to check if the stem aren't straight, make it straight, it worked for me.
