    Default crooked screen when keyboard exposed


    When my keyboard is exposed, the left side of the display is about 3/16 lower than the right side. Is this what everyone else is experiencing. It doesn't really bother me...just curious.

    Yeah I noticed that too. It kind of bothers me because I get irritated with things like that

    Mine too, I can't stand it. But it seems to be "normal" for this device.

    Are you sure there is a 3/16" difference? Mine is only 1/32".

    Yeah, At least 1/8. I figured it was part of the way it's designed. I'll just have to ignore my OCD.

    I'm not alone. I hate the screen being a bit off.

    Yeah, it's about 3 or 4 degrees off-level. Really freaking annoying. Looks horrible during certain apps, like messaging which has a lot of straight, horizontal lines that just don't...line...up...

    Really, really lame.

    I have to think it is a consequence of the unusual slider mechanism that HTC chose. I mean why bother with that semi circular sliding action? They should have just had a directly straight up slide, then there would have been no tilt to the screen, AND they could have had the screen slide on 2 rails which would have been a lot more durable than the current arrangement. Oh well it works, durability will not be known for some time.
