Re: Why when I remove my stylus doesnt my Pro come on anymore?

Mine broke tonight.......Not good.

I am thinking about signing up for the $7 TEP, as I have a feeling this will happen again, and I got my phone from BB.

Re: Why when I remove my stylus doesnt my Pro come on anymore?

Mine never worked out of the box, my switch is intact but my reset button also does not work.

So I am assuming there is a trace not soldered or a crack in the board.

Not having the reset is a PITA.

I would be upset if I actually paid for this unit... I still think my original touch is better built, and a better feel all around.

Mine broke... I've had the phone since 11/15. As someone who doesn't use the stylus much, I'm pretty surprised. I'm also very ginger with this phone (due to the cost) so I don't think you could put me in the "Broke It Due To Excessive Force" category.

Looking at the pieces and the mechanism with a magnifying glass, it's clear this is just incredibly poor design on the part of HTC. I'd wager that after a year's use, a majority of users will have a broken sensor. And there really seems to be no sense in getting a new TP; it'll just break again.

It's a shame, because other then this switch problem, I love my TP.
