hinge movement

**brandonx1000** · 06-11-2011, 11:28 PM

Has anyone noticed when the device is closed, the side opposite the slider kind of "claps" against itself? There's maybe 1mm between the screen and keyboard that just feels...well, loose.

Since I got this as my work phone (yeah, i know), i barely use the game pad. So, I stuck a business card in between to stop the "clapping".

Anyone else have this issue? I know my PSP Go never ran into this.

Work phone? Really? I know it has the options as any Android phone but with other options out there, the Play does not scream "work phone" lol

My Xperia Play has the same movement. I'm glad you found out it wasn't an issue.

I noticed mine clapped when its closed and I fixed it in 10 seconds, it was soo easy lolll no need to send it in for repair, all u need to do is slightly bend the back screen slider where the hinge sits when it closed, such an easy fix, I couldent find any fixes anywhere and ive done it , message back if u want a better explanation, ,,, im happy I fixed my xperia plays clikin ( clappin)
