Squeaky/Loose Screen?

[DOOG9517]

Any one else have a screen that creaks when the edges are pushed?

 

[mclarryjr]

I have no creaks but the top left of my screen has a little movement to it.

No issues with the screen what so ever here.

Can't say I have had any issues with the screen or keyboard mine is built really sturdy.

Next to the iPhone this is the most sturdy phone I've ever used. Especially for a slider.

It's due to that tiny gap between the slider and the phone.....only slightly notice when squeezing the 2 together, but never notice when using the phone.

no squeak here seems solid.

 

[Roy Aguilera]

No squeaking at all. Phone is as solid as it gets.

Thanks everyone! When I was at the verizon store, the salesman put on one of those bodyglove cases. Maybe when he took it off, it stressed it.

try some WD-40



but really, don't.

The Droid I just got the other day started out nice and solid, and I guess you get a little break in from utilizing the slider enough times. The play between the screen and the slider was getting quite annoying as it felt like I was typing on a Storm.

Probably not the most recommended way to do it, I made sure to be REALLY careful about it. Being that the unit is made of thin metal, I took it position by position and put some tension inwards to get the metal to ever so slightly bend in until the unit for the most part stopped having the 2 parts click together everytime I am tapping on the screen, particularly with the virtual keyboard.

So if it is bugging you as much as it was bugging me being everything was perfect EXCEPT for that play between the 2 parts, be it risky, it could be worth a shot, heh heh I take no responsibility for results unless of course it works like a charm

Mine moves a little near the top right, but only if i press harder than i would if i were to actually be using the phone.... never noticed it until you pointed it out... not a big deal, but hope it doesn't change into one.

 

[JRoid]

mines seems to be solid. let's hope it stays that way.

My first droid had some give/wiggle on the slider. I could push the upper left or lower left corner of the screen and it would click in kind of. I replaced that one and this replacement is perfect. No wiggle or gap between the back of the screen and the keyboard.

Yea this what happened to mine when the rep could not get it off. she called over another rep and he stressed it and gap was more noticeable and squeaky. I took it back to Best Buy and exchanged it. Don't know why I even tried it, I don't like case on my phones.

Loose Screen

This is more like an OCD concern rather than an actual one. You have been warned.

My Droid has a a tiny gap between the physical keyboard and the screen at the bottom left corner. If I push down lightly on the bottom left back key, the screen moves down ever so lightly to touch the physical keypad. Its not like the screen is really loose or anything but I was just curious if all other devices were like this? It probably moves about 1mm or max 2 mm down.

 

[Madestric]

Mine is like that, i don't think its a problem.

 

[Bond J#AC]

Sweet!

I am LOVING this phone!

 

[ptfd13]

Mine used to do the same thing but does not anymore. I think with more use it settles down.

Others have noticed it; so have I. I think it's engineered into the Droid and I haven't seen any reports that it's a problem.
