End Key falling off sprint TP 2

[slr916ek9]

wow lol...i actually have the same problem after seening this post made me think of my issue i had weeks ago

i bought my phone NEW then one day maybe over a week later i pressed END and i felt heard loud click noise not the smooth click it makes but plastic to plastic click..like if you droped soda and got sticky good way to put it..SO then i notice i use more pressure to end...and it kinda sank alittle cus when i rub my finger over the row of keys (4) the END is lower..but mine dont look as bad as above!!....if anyone calls or something as how much would they charge to fix it?..i bough mines and flashed it to metro..no warranty!

I have the same problem but its the end key thats sunken, its still functional but at the same time its more difficult to press. I wonder if this constitutes a problem that sprint would either fix or replace the phone. If I bought the phone online thru callsprint, do I have to go thru them to get a replacement or can I just go with a sprint store?

Just an update to my original post. I returned the phone to the Sprint store where I bought it and they swapped it for a new one since it was less than thirty days old.

Manufacturers date is 11-27-2009. This one feels solid , but so did the last one until I noticed the loose key. It would kind of go back into place but it wouldn't stay there. If it was backlit, you could see light coming out of the top.

Hope this one is solid !

i have some light slightly leaking from the top of the end button... but nothing major..

if you look close to the battery cover, do you notice a slight bulge or dent on the right side (opp side of the phone) on the battery cover??

thanks...

I also have the sunken send key.

I've gotten another replacement phone for another issue and the send key I'm afraid will end up the same as my first one with the end key. If I press on the right side of the key it sinks in a bit and the other side pops up a little. It's barely noticeable but it's not the same feel as the end key. Gonna cross my fingers and hope itll be ok.

wut is the manufac date on yours... my end key is noticeable softer than the send key..

hey craigster and azmode, any of you notice the power or sleep button is not that sturdy it seems like you need to push it pretty far down to get a click??

thanks.
