stylus port is loose?

[NinjaMom]

I was having the same issues. For me a new stylus does the trick. So maybe you could just get a new stylus or wrap a thin piece if black tape around the stylus to fatten it back up a bit.

same thing happened to me where my stylus feels "loose" and will not extend on its own from friction when I pull it out. i noticed that when this started, a thin, small piece of gray rubber fell out of the stylus slot...i believe this was the apparatus designed to hold the stylus firm and make it extend when pulled out. I want this fixed because it is a big PITA to pull out a stubby stylus and have to use both hands to extend it. at the sprint authorized repair facility, no one knows crap about the 6800 so i am sure it will be an experience getting someone to fix it/replace it. let me know if you all have any luck solving this problem or getting sprint and/or HTC to acknowledge that it even is a problem. seems like there should be some sort of recall...

this is a common problem for phones with stylist like this, for example T-mobile MDA, my friend lost all his stylists like that. ended up getting a free replacement, happened again, so he stuck some not foil but the other food wrap around the stylist as he was sticking it in the hole, never had an issue again, so he said.

When the plastic piece that holds the stylus in place popped off into my battery compartment, I noticed that the nub that's supposed to hold the stylus in place was worn down. This after only being in use for 6 weeks. The repair techs here had no way to replace it with a new part so I got a new phone as a replacement. HTC needs to come up with something better then plastic to hold the stylus in place or I anticipate a lot of phone replacements happening.
