[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
After receiving my Fuze/Rap today, I also noticed a 1/32 inch twist when opening the phone. My only only other HTC slide experience is the 8125 which after 4 years has a more tight opening action.

I have to have faith in the Raph after all the faithful years with my other slide out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhoneil:
US- Virginia Beach

it sounds like something comes loose when i slide my fuze open. then there is something that rattles around in it. i tried to return it but all the fuzes they had at the store made the same sound. unique?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bwzippy:
Mine is a little loose as well - I wondered if anyone else had the same issue. I can (with very little effort) make the screen move about 2-3mm away from the keyboard. It does feel a lot more loose than the 8525 did to me.. I'm not sure how that will play out over the lifetime of the phone, but I can expect it to only get worse (hopefully not!)

Love the phone though in general.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
slider compared to sprint version is smoother but ALOT looser than the sprint one. Thats probably why is slides out smoother. Aside from that, has anyone had any paint chipping issues on the sides of the top plate piece? I have a small paint chip and mine has only been in a case for the past 48 hours!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Matt-Helm:
When the slider is closed It's a wee bit loose at the top. So if i'm tapping on the top part of the sreen I can feel a slight wobble. Reminds me of the N95 slider issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] centex99:
Mine is fairly loose... easily wobbles 2-3mm as well top or bottom with fairly any effort. (fuze here). Its kind of annoying, but hopefully doesn't get worse...

Is this normal or defective?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Antzor:
Is there any way to tighten it up? Mine has an acceptable amount of give (if i press the volume buttons it usually slides a tiny tiny bit) but i'd really like having it feel solid as a rock.

If anyone has any idea or pictures on how to open the device and where to tighten what it'd be appreciated.

Yes i'll risk opening it up
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
When I open the slide on mine, a second or so later there's a sound like a spring retracting and a "thunk" that kind of jars the whole phone. I think that started a day or so after I got it -- i.e., I don't think it was that way initially -- but I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to affect anything negatively, but it's a little worrisome, something I'll keep any eye on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
There have been two descriptions of the mid-slide thunk/loose part noise issue. I think you both described it well.

Slide Noise/action - I too notice the loose part issue, however mine feels within a reasonable tolerance of what I would expect. It must be a spring loaded part that creates the friction to not let the screen flop open but at the same time it yanks it open when past the 50% open point.

Paint - 4 year old daily used 8125 is devoid of all paint today. Anything harder than a fingernail is dangerous to nick and scratch the paint. Loose change, metal of any sort, keys, glasses. I would bet 2.8 on the Mohs scale :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
While on a three hour phone call my Fuze heated up and you could hear janky springy noises. The action of the slide did not change but the clicks, ticks and janky springy noises are a plenty. Janks away! I don't care though, this phone is awesome.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperdimension:
Hi,

mine does the same things, i was worried if that means the phone i got is defective. I was trying to bring to the store where i got it and ask if the store rep knows anything about it, I want to ask him to get me a new one (if i can) to see if the new one also have the same problem. We'll see tomorrow. I wish it's a little bit more solid (non sliding 2-3mm on top to the right when pressing the top/bottom volume button), but otherwise i love my fuze :)

Anyone know if the slider wobbles 2-3mm means your phone is defective?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aqub56:
When I hold mine in my right hand e.g. during a phone call, depending on how I hold it it slides a few mm - I've changed the way I hold it so it's not a problem, more a minor irritation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sevans21:
I had a chance to see a Fuze for the first time last night. Since I still have a Touch Pro from work it was interesting to compare. The slider on the Fuze is much more loose than the Touch Pro. The TP doesn't flex at all when tapping the screen whereas the Fuze moves enough to make noise as it impacts the keyboard below. No idea if this typical since I've only seen one of each but build quality of the TP was much higher.

Not high enough to offset lack of 3g though!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
A brief followup on this: it has now stopped happening. Opening the slide still produces a bit of noise, but there's no more "thunk". I'm not sure what to make of it. Everything still seems to be reasonably tight and functioning well. Strange.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuybjeans:
I got the fuze on Tuesday and I noticed a lot of slop when it was open. Plus there's a loose metal piece that moves around underneath the screen for some reason....don't know what it's for. Anyway, I returned the phone and got another Fuze...and there is no slop in this one. I think they're having some sort of quality issue with this.

It seems to me that ATT really beat up HTC to cheap'n these phones to make them more affordable. These phones are not even close to the quality of the 8525.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] behrouz:
Ive had this phone for 2 days and Ive noticed that the screen portion and the keyboard portion of the phone is no longer aligned properly. Looking at it, its barely noticeable but when you hold it you can definitely feel it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iceman4357:
i traded out my first fuze because the up arrow was sticking, but the keyboard was still and no spring noises. This Fuze i have now is loose and there is a little door under the screen that I can move with springs in it. You can only get to it when its slid open, and it exposes the cables connecting to the screen. I might have to trade this one out as well....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
I had the nuttiest problems with my 8125 when it first came out. Literally I had three warranty claims and ended up with a fourth phone. They literally gave me a brand new in box g4 wizard instead of a normal swap out.

I would imagine that the return rate is far higher than the iphone with its no mechanisms. So HTC will have to stand and notice.

I find the touch screen pretty nice to type on, but five rows of goodness on te keyboard is awesome.

I will let mine wear for the next year and then warranty claim it. My thoughts being that HTC will identify the jankiness and then change the parts inline and future builds of the phone will tighten things up...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] behrouz:
thats some wishful thinking lol ......
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] spec7:
theres a little give (2-3mm) when i put a little pressure on the corner, this worries me because of the price of the phone i expect it to be more solid. is there some kind of warranty we can get for this? i dont have insurance and i dont want it to break in the future.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
YES WE CAN!

haha
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ioannistheo:
I have had mine for a week and ended up voiding the guarantee to open it up and tighten the mechanism.There was a certain give in mine which I couldn't stand. The mechanism is as solid as rock and none should worry. The sliding mechanism is fastened to the keyboard with 6 screws. There is no possibility for them to loosen altogether. There is a certain gap because the flex travel is actualy between the keyboard and the sliding part. Having owned a qtek 9100, tytnI, TytnII, I must say that this mechanism is the best of all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] frexe:
^ so you can tighten up the mechanism.

Anyone care to do a diy? If not I might just void warranty and see if I can tighten it and make a diy. Otherwise, if I fail some of you might be able to find me crying in some dark corner. :cool:

*edit* if its just the screws loose on the mechanism, maybe a tiny bit of loctite might keep the screw from backing out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vikramdhani:
i think the slider is pretty solid like all the other htc phones but this one is sleek and very strong

unlike on some more expensive nokia phones
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] OldQuser:
I always just figured this was made up, but would love to hear more or better yet step by step instructions because I really hate the looseness of the screen part with keyboard part and would love to fix this if it is even possible ...help!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] frexe:
Alright I ripped the Fuze apart.. Long short.. as I removed the last screw a piano fell out of the sky and landed on it, surprisingly the phone showed no signs of damage. However it got bricked! :cool:

Okay enough of the bs..

thanks to http://www.mediafire.com/file/h2mmw... Camera removal photo guide v1.1 by A Mak.pdf

found it on some other forums.. anyways got to the slide mechanism, it is secured by 6 screws... and the slide mechanism are just coils so basically rip it open adjust the coils a lil bit and there ya go.. slap it back together like a sloppy joe and enjoy your 500$ burger while its still hot.

Oh yeah now your burger is void of warranty.

this is a 20min job.. once you know what your doing.

oh here factory manual. http://www.touchpro.cz/data/download/4/htc_raphael_sm_a10__generic__01_dec_08.pdf
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
I firstly have to say that I love this phone.. the sliding keyboard I have had issues with though. I had to return my first phone because it had completly popped off the track. Not detached from the phone or anything but instead of sliding left to right I could actually push the back of the phone up and down. It was crazy. When I got my second one it was very tight, nice and smooth. Now I've noticed that it sort of is a bit woobly. I dont overuse the keyboard. In face I rarely use it. I'm VERY carefull with it since the issue I had with my first one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jd885:
my slider is good, it does have a little play when its slid shut but other than that its great
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pho_boi:
my slide mechanism is pretty bad... when it is shut, pressing the power button moves the screen. this also happens when using the volume buttons. there is about 1mm of play.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] _MsG_:
My mechanism also sucks. I can almost put my stylus between the two halves.

How to tighten it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sergio PC:
Some Lubrication is key

A little lubrication can do wonders on your device, smooth sliding all the way, less stress on the device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bozman:
I too have a slightly looser than normal slider..... wow that sounds bad..... I have to exchange 2 phone when I first got the fuze. The first one was pretty firm and felt good. Noticed that the second one was way loose. The third was kinda loose so we looked at 4 others out the box and the same stuff. I dunno why they did that. My 8525 was pretty solid and I never had issues. Haven't really had issues with this one yet and I enjoy the snappy feel but I feel like it's going to break.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
mine works fine. The corners seem to be fine. a little loose but that's normal.

Hi

I got my mobile with Android 9 installed on my sprint (XT1789-03). I installed lineageOS 17.1 and worked fine without any issues. But after a month it starts rebooting randomly. So I tried flashing the update but this cause it not to boot and it goes to lineage animation and then reboots. So I installed Sprint Retail Android 8.0: XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-20_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

It installed without any issues. But now my baseband is not found (written in bootloader). My wifi and sim not working.

Same problem here, but XT1789-04

IMEI shows up fastboot getvar, but in fastboot it says "Baseband: <not found>". Wifi doesn't work and the network mac address is 0200000000. Firmware is stuck at 8.0.0. I can flash and run any ROM (Lineage, stock) but Wifi nver works and baseband always says not round.

I've tried a dozen different NON-HLOS.bin files and flashalls and nothing will give me baseband back.

bro i can help you! you need to start the phone and then you need to enable oem unlock at the developer options it will be grayed out you will need another phone to share internet via bluetooth and connect your moto z2 force as its the only thing you can enable bluetooth after that just open the playstore login to your account and oem unlock will be available enable it and put your phone into bootloader mode unlock the bootloader flash the stock rom and restart the phone once its done

note: restart the phone after stock rom is done but without locking the bootloader

after that go to reset options at system settings then reset the phone and start the phone again and you will do this until you get wifi and sim once everything is working again now you can relock the bootloader and reset the phone and everything will be ok again, send pm if you need assistance because my english is not so good

You have PPX29.159-23/.... Which is Android 9

So you must have flashed a Retail version or the site hasn't been updated.

You could try Lmsa's flash rescue option

[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] NagarjunaB:
Hi,

I realized that custom rom support is very minimal(if not non-existent) for almost all samsung devices. That could be due to the Exynos soc and closed sources. But this device comes with snapdragon soc. It also appears like samsung has released the source too (https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-m51), not sure how useful it might be. So, what are the chances for getting a good custom support for this device?

On a side note, a general question - what would make a device more custom rom developer friendly?

-> kernel sources?

-> easy to unlock?

-> more userbase?

-> anything else?

I am asking this because there are other samsung devices m40(zero roms), a70(few, but all unofficial/discontinued) which come with snapdragon and have sources but little to no custom roms. What was the underlying reason? (just interested in knowing)

Thank you

The odds are generally low with Samsung, partially because of Knox.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] raghu13uk:
1. Did I do a mistake?

I held back buying other better Samsung phones just because those have Exynos and worried about Dev support.

I am not too optimistic of getting Android 12 from Samsung for this device. I always hoped of Dev support for this because of SD.

2. Though this phone has no feature that requires Knox, it still has Knox inside. Any idea why?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] ptrkhh:
I think even if Knox is an issue, we still get many custom ROMs on Samsung flagship phones. so I would assume it should be possible to have a workaround on that. I am not sure though.

Received my Navy blue FE yesterday, and its all working pretty well. I noticed that the Blue Light filter works just fine while the phone is unlocked and is use but the Lock Screen maintains the bright blueish tint which means the filter is not working on the lock screen. My S10, which I will be mailing in sometime next week, keeps the filter on all the time including on the lock screen. Anyone else having this issue? Also, anyone have a link to a good ultra thin TPU case for the FE? Most of the one's I have found on Amazon look hideous or will take a month to get here. Thanks.
