There are more people with this problem. I think it's just a matter of how loose the slider is. Mine is not loose but a friend's Touch Dual is quite loose.

mine has a little wobble when closed, but is sturdy when opened.
it doesnt really bother me, so havent asked how/where to get it fixed.

Hi , i'm from France and mine too.
There are a lot of movements on the slide when close(left + right).
It's very disturbing... Did someone send the phone to repair center ??

Could this be a problem covered by the warranty?

Could this be a problem covered by the warranty?

Welcome to the realm of HTC build quality. I went through 6 E650's (S710's) before I got one that was remotely tight. My Dual has slight play on the top right of the screen when it's closed, and due to probably getting a replacement which is the same, i've not bothered trying to get it replaced. When it's open it's fine.
I think, as with the E650, it's just down to where they've put the slides on the phone.

HTC are a couple of Stuck up Jerks.
my screen went black cause of the looseness.
the flex cable was damaged since it was loose.

Expensive phones, once they break they dont want to help..
so now im looking for a flex cause the "warranty" doesnt cover me for some reason... jerks!

Hi there.

I'm from Germany and my Nike ist a little bit loose too.

If the slider is loose and its definitely a production problem, i would say that this a case for the warranty.

Also, i have done an "electronic insurance". It covers claims caused by yourself or other technical problems.

On the other hand, i would try to give it back to my htc-dealer or provider if the slider damges within the 2 years of warranty.

I think this problem got no fixing, because HTC use very simple slide-method in Touch Dual.
There is only 2 springs, little slide-board, and whole screen based on board only by 4 little screws. And this screws located to close...

Mine did this for a bit but I managed to take the slide apart and put it back together and it tightened up and now doesn't seem as loose. I suppose it's how loose/tight the fitting is.
