Have you tried a hard reset ?

Hahaha... I know where this is coming from...

You are using the TERRIBLE useless case that comes in the box right? Its magnets cause the screen to flip around... your unit is A-OK.

By the way, you store your unit screen facing out or facing your body? Try changing directions if you insist on using this stupid case (I am using it also but I am looking for a better one).

Has anyone found a better case for the KJAM/QTEK 9100?

I had the problem with the case, too...

But it doesn't explain the send button not working - that's happened to me also, which is damn annoying when you're trying to answer the phone!

[chiark]

oh, and I'll be writing a review of the PDAir case as soon as it arrives... Fingers are crossed!

[djozy]

It really make sense, the magnet thing.
i don't usually put the device on specified side.
but i will try to notice it from now.

in that case, what about the car holders that uses magnet to hold the device?

[TheAce]

Give it a try, use the cases magnets to find the spot on the KJAM that flips the screen. It seems that the sliding keyboard uses a magnet to let the device know it is open and to flip the screen.

The included case is such a useless case. I am sure that NO ONE at HTC actually tested the usability of the case WITH the KJAM inside in an everyday usage pattern...

Also, I am not sure if the magnets don't harm the device..

Many many thanks you very clever and helpful people!!!

I was on the verge of getting on to eBay and letting the top bidder have my XDA Mini, because of this switching lark, but I've tried what has been posted here and sure enough, it is the magnets.

So I'll get a better case and keep the device which I think is excellent.

Thanks again!!

:lol: :D
