I remember my old T610, it used to drive me crazy,creaking loudly,and my 2 day old K750i has now started. It's no where near as bad as my old t610, but I can hear it, and when I can hear it,I don't want to hear it .
I'm pretty confident of takin it apart, I have all the screwdrivers etc.
The creak is to the right of the c key,any idea how I could stop it creakin?

It's a massive problem,I love the phone!

So what can I do? When I crush that part of the phone, it won't creak for 1 hour or so and then it will start again. It is as if the front cover isn't screwed in properly on that section of the phone!

@chr u shouldnt start any experiments with it without any practice. its a common problem, guess there is no way to fix it, its the result of cheap, plastic manufacturing... my t68m ( full plastic ) never gave such "noises"... ps: it was meade in sweden :-)

I will have to live with it then. It's not a big deal,but I thought se would have sorted the poor build quality out!

unfortunately not. u know, now a days its more important the quantity instead of the quality, to reduce costs the brands are uninterested of the final results, just as here, at such fones, which arent that cheap at sale actually.. guess it will be just worse in the next future...

I had my T610 in pieces and managed to stop the creak in that. I might give it a go on the k750i if I can be bothered,but it might make it worse!

i had that problem with t630 once, at the backcover, i fixed it with a piece of paper, but when my whole d750i is so crap, maybe i should roll the whole fone then ;-)

under the c button? how? it was easy to place it above the batt in t630, but in your case its a bit more difficult imo... i would let it...

It's not under the c button,it's to the right of it, so If I rolled up a small ball of paper,it would stop the case going up and down?

i am not sure its the best solution. u see, at the batt there isnt any thing what could be bad influenced by put a paper in, but next to the display... i am not a techniocal genoius, but as i see, it wont chnage much...
