When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

I'm wondering if this is really a "problem" or if there is just some "variability" with manufacturing...

After voting can you all please post your vote along with what carrier you have?

I am starting this thread because I have a slight "wobble" in my screen (Sprint) but otherwise I do not have ANY issues with my TP2 (no dead/stuck pixels, etc) so I am afraid to exchange it just because of the "wobble"...

EDIT: To clarify I mean front to back...when tilted if I push the back of my screen towards the front, it moves a little and when letting go it sits back to where it started...

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

you should clarify what you mean by wobble... back and forth or side to side? side to side would be a huge problem because it's not supposed to move that way. back and forth, however, is obviously gonna have some give because that's how you close or open it. when i open mine i can push it back a tiny bit then it seems to just sit in its spot. does this count as wobble?

if it was intended to be locked in a firm position i think you would get a clear lock like when you first start tilting or after u untilt...

I added an edit above...I mean back to front when the screen is tilted...when the keyboard is slid out but is flat there is no "play" at all...

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

when u untilt, u hear that click? obviously something is there to keep it nice and stiff so it doesn't wobble... they dont have that mechanism when u tilt it fully...

yours is probably just like everyone elses... i wouldn't worry about it. now if ur watching a movie while its just sitting on the table and it just falls back down... then yeah, that's a problem

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

they all will have a slight wobble, unless it falls on its own or when ya barely touching the screen, its normal to have a give in each direction, Its a moving part that goes in 2 directions, its gonna give a little untill the hinges catch....... We (wife and I) have had 3 total, all with a wobble, i checked 4 at the stores and they all have a slight wobble.

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

My Sprint TP2 has a very slight side to side (well more of a twist) and front to back when slid out flat and tilted up. Not enough to really bother me or warrant an exchange.

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

this is one of the best questions I've seen posted about the tp2 and has been on my mind (if i ever get one.)
sounds to me like it's engineered 'play', kinda like how bridges & tall buildings sway.

I wouldn't worry about it until it starts doing it when you touch the screen. (how often do you touch the back??)

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

Yea, mine can only take the lightest touches when tilted without giving. But if you were to say shake the phone a little, it does not wobble.

I think its just the best the design can do.

Mine has the wobble and I'm with Sprint. Not bad though. I kinda wish it would "lock" into place, but really, I guess it don't matter.

Re: When tilted, does your TP2 screen "wobble"?

I haven't used the tilt feature at all, but it does wobble some. I'm guessing that it's a design limitation as others have stated. Still feels sturdy when tilted, but i have no real use for a tilted screen, ever.
