I had the same problem. The stylus broke where the plastic part is screwed into the metal tube. I can't understand why they are not built completely out of metal. But since 3 spare styluses cost about 15 Euro I get an idea why
I just made a new "plastic" part out of acacia wood, drilled a hole in it and joint it together by a pin that was glued into the he two parts.
This way it looks way better and won't break again. That's for sure.
By the way, I like touching wood better than plastic anyway.

Same thing here ....

I've also broken one stylus for no apparent reason, where the plastic meets metal. Very irritating. HTC must make a small fortune off the after-market for those things!

so did i... i'm on my second one now.

WHAT?
I thought they looked rather robust. I guess they don't last for as long as I thought.

same here. after about 2 months of usage i broke my first stylus 2 weeks ago.
I am looking for some alternative styluses.
BUT WHY THE HECK HAS THIS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WM6???

Had the same problem and bought a replacement pack of 10 from a shop online! Why this has anything to do with this forum is beyond me!

if someone work in medical collage or hospital, please try to make one stylus with human bone

Hope that is not human bone

you can repar the two part (metalic and plastic) with iron thread that you have heated and planted into the two parts. You can put glue too

[Q] EVO Armband? Not a pouch on a band

I am looking for a Armband for my EVO. I would like to find one that allows me to view the screen while it is in the band. I got one from Ebay that came from Hong Kong that says it will work for the phone but it is tight (so tight is causes signal loss) on the phone and only can view 2/3 of screen. If anyone out there has gotten one or seen one please let me know.

I am not sure how being tight would cause signal loss unless your seeing the signal loss while it is strapped to you arm, in which case it is your arm, not the case.
As for your question, have not seen any yet, my wife sews like crazy so when I need something like that I just ask her for it lol.

Yeah, it cause signal loss in the wireless network and the GPS. even if it is not on my arm. A friend says it being tight would cause a pinch on the chip. To much pressure on the screen it what he says. He is a electronic engineer too. So i would believe him.

Your friend is wrong. The chip for wifi and cell is on the back of the board away from the screen. At most it may be signal attenuation due to a material in the case.
To show I am not talking out my ass here.

As you can see the chips are on the back of the board.

As someone with seven years of RF experience I just have to say, this is the most absurd thing I have ever read online.

Which part?

the reception thing sounds crazy
i use an arm band for an ipod touch that is a "stretchy/spongy" material and i can still see the phone and change songs through the thick plastic coating on the front. I sweat ALOT too and still never had water damage after 45 min+ runs
its very similar to this one but an older model i think(had it for years for my 1st gen zune). Just stretch it out lol

Water proof cases for cell phones and other devices

They actually make water proof cases so you put your phone into the case and still use it underwater if you are in the ocean or whatever.

My only questions would be do they make a bluetooth that is water proof? Also if your diving with your phone .... you have an addiction.

I'm skeptical about the screen being able to detect touch through that thing.

And it's so stylish!

i came here to say this, i ziploc my phone most of the time i go to the pool because i'm drinking and hey you never know what could happen...
i tested it with my g1, touchscreen works fine, but if you put it underwater the touchscreen gets all confused like you were using a crappy charger

probably due to the heat displacement.

Bobby why do you sound like crap?
Well my phone is in a sandwich bag
Uh, why is your phone in a sandwich bag?
I'm at the pool.
Your at the pool or you phone is?
My phone and I are at the pool and I'm trying to make sure my phone doesn't get wet.
Uh, why don't you keep your phone out of the water then?
LOL. I can see the need for these, but cracks me up just the same

Im sure it'll work fine. I can operate my phone with mechanics wear gloves on while doing yard work (changing songs) so this plastic should be no problem.
I do however wonder two things.
1. What pictures would it take in this thing...under water. Poor at best, but stay with me on this one.
2. What kind of reception would I get? I am tempted to go snatch one of my old G1s out of the kids toy tubs and take it diving just to take a picture and post it all while under water.

You guys obviously are not familar with the Sonar app, I think its called "ping" try it. Great for avoiding errant U-boats while diving.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!

i heard another cheap way to protect your phone underwater is to use condoms. LOL

Hey gang,
I'm thinking of getting an Atrix soon. Anyway, I sew this case mod for the iPhone and thought it pretty cool. Dose anyone know if somthing similer exists for the Atrix? I've all ready searched this forum as well as Google and couldnt find an answer.

Not currently the phone is wayy too new and not quit popular like the iphone wait a little while

Won't happen. The only reason you can do it with the iPhone is because it's already glass. They just had to strip the paint off the back.

You're quite wrong, there are many phones that aren't glass that have this same modification.
Swifted from my Atrix.

android devices get outdated too fast for this kind of mod.
remember back in the day when there was the motorola v300, there were plentiful shell mods online, because phones were released only so often back then.
Nowadays there is a new android device out every few months, and there is no point in building a product for it because the market changes so fast.
this isnt the case with the iphone because its once a year, and theres only one model, so the popularity of it is high enough that making accessories for it is profitable.

Okay. Let me rephrase my previous statement. Show me a recent smart phone with a clear case. Not a phone from the 90's.

Wow, I'm sorry for getting back here later then I said but in truth I didn’t expect so many great reply’s. This is why you guys are the best

I remember seeing that iphone mod a while back, I believe the owner took the glass off and used paint thinner to remove the black paint. If you dont mind taking apart your Atrix, perhaps try that?

How's that supposed to work? The Atrix isn't made out of glass like the iPhone 4.

I was referring to the front, which I believe is gorilla glass. For the back, you'd have to find a replacement cover.

At least our back piece is removable, so that part shouldn't be too dangerous!

Worried about the battery cover breaking - DON'T!

I was worried about it breaking when being removed but after seeing this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXqnQKs-tA&feature=player_embedded

WOW
i thought it was cheap but !!!!!!!

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic

Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here

This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.

Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol

that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue

im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.

Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?

I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.

thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)

lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it

Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one

No way.. I wont try it

When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one

Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!

I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD
