Hi, my letter "h" fell of while wiping phone, some glue sticker got ripped and I have a gap now, not nice under finger. Can't find anywhere to buy replacement ones, so if someone knows feel free to point me, thanks

The top part of the slider (the screen) on my kaiser sits just a little too far to the right when in the closed position. When I'm holding it and talking on it, my finger feels the slight ledge and it's kind of annoying. Has anyone found a good way to adjust the closed position of the kaiser?
Anybody? I'll eventually dig into it myself, but it would be nice to know if someone else has already done it so I can skip the experimenting and take apart only what needs to be taken apart.
As i know the two tiny rubber stop the screen going further. You can glue something to the rubber to adjust the position. Check the photo attached. I can't think of anything except that can help.

Ah I see...
Thank you for the pictures. That helps. One of the rubber bumpers on mine is somewhat malformed. I may end up disassembling this thing and making some sort of replacement.
I just noticed mine was doing this too, so I returned it today. Lol the next one I got had a very very very tight usb fit. it felt like it was going to rip the usb port out every time I would pull my usb plug off. So I went to return that one! They had only one more left which was the display model, lol. Of course I didn't take that.
So what they did is ordered 3 more to be shipped in this Monday and they are going to let me go over each one and decide which is the best for me to take home!
Just thought I'd update this thread with my story.
I tried to do a warranty exchange with AT&T when I found out that the warranty follows the Tilt, rather than being linked to the person that bought it (I bought mine off of craigslist) but they wouldn't do it. They said for something physical like that it had to be within the first 30 days of when it was first used on their system.
So I decided to fix it myself. I measured the amount of overhang at each end near the slide track using calipers, then looked around for something of the right thickness to add to the rubber bumpers discussed above. I settled on a piece of black, vinyl heat-shrink tubing used for electrical conections. 2 layers of it were enough to correct the overhang at one end and 3 layers at the other. I cut the pieces out making squares about .050" (a little over a millimeter) per side and glued the layers together. I used an exacto knife to cut them and trim after glueing. This was a tiny bit over-sized and they stuck into the tracks so well that I didn't bother glueing them into the phone.
My phone feels so much better in my hand now it's amazing. Before, that little difference made my phone feel super cheap and it was really annoying. Now it feels rigid and well made. =)
atleast you got it fixed. My first tilt was in my back pocket and i sat down on it and had the same thing.. so i gave it to my dad and got another one He hasn't noticed.. (actually i bought him a new one on ebay while he was visiting but it didnt arrive in time so i gave him the one i was using at the time, and about 30 min after i got home after dropping him off at the airport, guess who decides to knock on my door? the UPS guy with the new tilt )
Hi there,
when my Kaiser is closed there is a gap between the Screen and the keyboard.
Not a big one its 1mm thick.
Is it normal or is it a sign that my sliding mechanism got broken?
and i wuld like to know if there is a way to fix it, or if someone knows a german repair service
Thanks
Mine has a gap but I don't know about a millimeter, how big is that again? As thick as this I? I think that if they where touching then it would create friction and after a while the plastics would grind and wear away.
I have mine about 5 months or so. It has a small gap on both sides of about 1 mm thick but it is still solid in place. I mean there is no friction or so. I think there is nothing to worry about exept when you can twist or move the screen when closed. Then I would check the sliding mechanism.

Thanks same like mine.
is it normal, too that i an whipp the screen a little when its closed.
Not mouch just a little when i tap on the rigth or the left side of the screen.
Mine also has a very small gap (not a mm though)....
Anyone have a guide to do a screen replacement on TD?
I dropped mine on the floor and it got a little scrats on the lover right corner.
I can only operate the left side of the phone with a pen and the right side do not work.
Can you also give a link where to buy?
Arrhh
Sorry Dude - Bad luck
No insurance ?
I thought they made the body and screen extra strong with a extra glass plate in between so the screen and body of the TD could fall a few times before it breaks?
I got a Nook Color recently. I've noticed its sides were kinda flimsy. Is this normal? I understand this isnt meant to be built like a tank but mine is kinda loose. Also when even applying a little amount of pressure I see the screen get affected (pressure on screen itself.)
Return? Or is it something common?
I've read a few posts about a creakey bezel. Luckily mine was not. The only imperfection I have is the black plastic that surrounds the n key is not flush with the screen on the right side but flush on the left.
Even more discouraging were the stories about dead / stuck pixels. Since I only had the before mentioned issue, I'm keeping mine.
So, although I believe B&N will take the unit back and exchange, if it doesn;t bother you that much and all else is well, I'd say keep it and enjoy it.
Alright thanks.
Mines the same way. Not really a total deal breaker for me, but its really annoying

I apparently got pretty luck getting one with no imperfections to my knowledge...
the front of my brand new nook comes almost completely off and snaps right back on
.Same here, picked up the black silicone case and it covers the sides and makes it feel like one piece constructio(no help on the screen issue around the n),but makes it feel sturdy. And keeps it simple.Bought the official B&N for $20,I know they are five bucks on line but in my experience after market seldom fits like the "real deal" and after slapping it on I didn't want to take it off

Mine creaks in the upper left corner. The back is somewhat lose in that area too. I haven't noticed any pressure on the screen though.
Screen is very very delicate on these.
Does anyone know a place to get the screen,the waterproof stickers, and anything else I would need for this thing?
Thanks

I see couple on eBay, not sure if they'll ship to your location. Send a message to the seller first to double check the compatibility by mentioning your model number. Also make sure it's OEM (don't see Sony logo but they're probably showing a generic picture) & it comes with the adhesive. I'd also get a shatterproof screen protector this time!

Here's a video of the screen replacement (Z3, not Z3+ but should be similar process).

You probably should not reuse the back cover adhesive (keep it clean of dust in case you have to reuse by mildly heating it. If anyone else knows the adhesive type, please chime in!
Good luck!
no fun
Doubt a screen protector would have helped. It literally gently fell 6" and shattered, the touch did not work after this.
Basically all parts you can find are fake. Those ones you posted are likely fake. The cheap one definitely is.
I got the parts needed from etrade supply. You need the front and back stickers. No stickers can be reused. You need the aux port sticker which is not available.
All the videos that show how to take it apart are misleading. They have already taken it apart and removed all the glue and stickers then put it back together. It will be way more work than it shows in the video.
In the videos it shows to remove the ear speaker DO NOT do it. If you do like I did you will need the earpiece sticker that is not available.
It does not show in the videos that a small black piece falls out when you remove the usb port/cable/board. My guess is they don't know where it go's, so they don't show you. The people that make the videos are the ones tying to sell the replacement parts.
Etrade did not have the front sticker they have a housing with the sticker on it. I got this. It is FAKE, it will not work. It is plastic the screw holes are not in the right spots. The heatpipe is fake it is just a sticker. You can not remove the screen sticker so it was a waste.
This is the fake housing http://www.etradesupply.com/sony-xperia-z3-front-housing-black.html
So have spent 300 dollar CAD. the phone is all in parts and I still need more parts. Mainly the front screen sticker.
The battery maybe wrecked because you have to pry hard to get it out because it is glued in. It is bent now. The lightest effort bent it off the start.
I have replaced many screens on other peoples non sony phones before.
Don't underestimate a screen protector, it helps and it works. Had the original z and dropped n number of times from various heights to grounds, both glass didn't even scratch or crack a bit.
