problematic stylus

[enfant_terrible1979]

hmm... my gf's 1 week old TD has started to 'self-eject' the stylus automatically... doesn't get 'sucked' in anymore, the magnet is still working when i place the stylus on the batt cover but inserting it back into the slot face the same issue... the stylus is tilted at another angle instead
should pay HTC care a visit?
she's really pissed to get something 'high-tech' for once plus i was the one to 'psycho' her into trying ppc
anyone else face this at all?:(

No problems here with the stylus, so I guess it's best to give HTC a call and let them fix it.

And oh well, if it makes your gf feel any better: A magnet is hardly hightech, especially considering it's probably just glue'ed in there. So it's the 'lowtech' thingy that's broken, not the hightech :D

yeh, i probably should...
this phone's given me some fun exploring a new model(i'm using trinity btw) but also given me more problems....:mad:
should stop inducting ppl around me into the dark ppc world... crossing over to the dark side just creates more lights to be put up(by me btw)...

lol! friendly advice ! danger! "pissed girl friend" means trouble even if it's because the pen is not "sucked in". lol!
on a serious note i tried to magnetize the pen (i wasn't satisfied with the way it was sucked in :p) with the magnet from my htc athena only to get the opposite effect. don't know what made me think that the pen is the magnet and not the diamond. well, experimenting...experimenting :rolleyes:
maybe you or your girl friend have the pen near a magnet? a not too plausible scenario ...:confused:

i thought so too bout the magnet, i actually chided her for putting/leaving her phone somewhere that has a strong magnetic field...
she adamantly insisted "NO!"... ok, time to zip.
shall pay a visit to the local HTC care centre...

That has something to do with the orientiation of the magnetic field. If you place two magnets together facing with the north and south pole together they will attract each other and with north facing north.....ok I think you got the magnetic basics.

This could only have two reasons, your pen got magnetized and now he is pushed away by the magnet inside the diamond. Or the magnet inside the diamond got misplaced and he is now facing with the wrong side towards the pen.

Try if your pen is magnetized maybe with a paper-clip. If so try to change his magnetic orientation with another magnet by moving it over the pen in different ways as you were sharpening a knife.

hmm.... should give that a try... thanks for the suggestion
was pretty :confused: bout the magnet used when reading bout this new model, thought that might cause some problems(yes, it had to be me unfortunately)

pen is the magnet, so magnetise it.
just done to mine, it now flys in

I experienced the same problem today... but I don't know how it happened. I think the pen now has the wrong magnetic polarity. The magnet inside the cover doesn't like my pen anymore :(
So I will try repolarise the pen with a magnet.

The magnet is inside the Diamond next to the Battery in the Area where the Stylus slides in.

There is a little Magnet in the Stylus as well.

If the Stylus does not get sucked in, the Magnet inside the Diamond, next to the battery, is probably misplaced. This happens if you put the stylus on the right hand side of the Diamond, just about the middle. The magnet gets pulled out of its place and the trouble starts.

dont you have another Stylus? there were 2 with my diamond...

Yes, that's exactly what happened with my diamond!

For everybody who is experiencing the same problem, see following post:

There you have instructions how to refix the magnet to the right place.
