Default stylus woes

Got out of the truck this morning and heard a clink and saw my stylus had fallen to the ground. I picked it up and noticed its not staying in anymore. Used to be some kind of friction holding it in, but now any movement and the stylus starts to slide out.

Before I try tape, has anyone had this before? I've checked one other mogul and I don't see anything missing, but did narrow it to my phone chassis.

Default Same Here

I got the same prob. So i put a piece of electrical tape on the end of the stylus, Not the point part the other part. Just put a little square on it.

It fit by actually being a fraction bigger than the hole u just shoved it up to hold it but after a while of putting the stylus in and out the heat will eventually morph it making it a bit smaller sliding it out and the cap well that basically just kept it up! My sister actually bit hers off i would try addidng something to the tip of the stylus like elctrical tape as stated above.

I used to have a hell of a time keeping stylii in my 6700. The eventual cure for the 6700 was to bend the stylus ever so slightly. Have you tried that?

Default Stylus fix..

Hey every-1 had the same problem till i stuck a piece of paper inside slot so when stylus goes in it gives it a tighter squeeze..but if you take off battery cover you should be able to see where the looseness is coming from...

Why not buy a third-party stylus replacement (found quite a few that fit the Mogul) that also have a pen?

Do a google search. Seidio offers one just not in 3-packs.
