It just started 10 minutes ago for me and i have had it since the 1st... I am not sure if this is something that happens to all of them after a while. If so, everything else is perfect. It just bugs me to hear a crunching sound every time i hit the backspace or enter button while texting.
Mine has just started to make a bit of a different sound in the same area. I cant really describe it, but its certainly not a crunching sound. The click just sounds different in that area, just not as smooth sounding as the clicks elsewhere. So maybe this is a potential problem area for the screens? Who knows
Actually... looking at it now, it seems as though the part of the screen near the green phone button doesnt click down... I guess im calling in for a replacement. yay. I was so excited that i got a phone that didn't have the problems that most everyone was having.
I'm not unique now.
Edit: The screen doesnt click down because it never rises back up. Its permanently sloped at that corner... /cry
Why dont you just loosen up the screen with a torx driver like so many others have done? If you have a storm that is good for everything else why risk having a complete dud next time? Gotta be worth a shot, if it doesn't sort it then go ahead and get a replacement
Personally I say get another one. Its one thing to loosen the screws for responsiveness but your corner is stuck down I imagine if you get it back up its only going to stick again.
As for the modified thread I wish I had the URL lol but do a search for 'shim screws' or just shim and you should find it. The guy who figured it out is a nice guy with a good engineering background. the short version is you loosen the screws some then add in two small squares of like a business card or about 100 cover stock paper. Then tighten them up. Dont over tighten but make them snug. It keeps the whole plane even so no torquing out of shape and it keeps the screws tight so no loose screws to let things bend.
You could always try throwing it at the wall. Thats what I ended up doing with my N95..... worked much better afterwards but thats not really saying much
