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...

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.

I had the same problem. I just put a slight bend in the stylus and it works great.

when people come into our store we just bend them, it was a stupid fukin idea to put it in the bottom of the phone in the first place. the worst part is when you open the phone, there is a TON of room for a full size stylus in there ><

anyways, just bend it slightly and it will hold

I can bend my stylus all day and it won't help me. The problem I am having is that crappy piece of plastic on the inside that's supposed to hold the stylus in place keeps popping out. I open the battery door and the plastic piece has become completely dislodged twice. I've had the soldering iron applied to it 2 times but it still won't hold in place.

You would think HTC would put something a little more sturdy inside instead of plastic that can pop out to hold the stylus in place.

wow, it seems like this is going to be a common problem with the mogul. I haven't gotten around to talking mine in to the sprint store yet. i'm wondering if it will be a lost cause if it will only happen again. i'm on vacation next week so I may take it in then.

bending the stylus dosn't really help much and as for a full sized stylus I've tried to customize the holder but it interferes with the comm button and the power button. I'll let you know if i get it to work.
