i have lost the outer battery cover on the back of the htc p3300 does any one know where i ould get a replacement from?
If you had searched with yor thread-topic at google, you had found expansys in nearly each country.
but their price is an unbounded cheek for a little piece of plastic
battery cover
expansys is only round the corner from me. i just thought that it being o new that they wouldn't have the back cover in stock.
thanks any way.
ps. £19.95 for a back cover they need their heads examining!!!!!
Anyone else have issues with the battery cover? Mine just slips off at the slightest force. For example if I pull it out of my pocket by the back of the phone the battery cover will slide off. Sometimes the cover just decides to stay in my pocket.
It's annoying!

You can also try the business card trick..... cut up a business card ( or other similar piece of paper) to the size of your battery cover and place it over the battery and slide the cover over the top. It will create a more snug fit and should resolve your slippage issue.

hey! that worked! thanks for the idea!
Sorry I dont post but this might help
Take 2 pieces of black electrical tape the with of the back cover. Place one piece at the top an dthe next right before the cover curves. That will latch on to the brackets on the inside of the the phone ...
Try it ; it is better then having a business card floating around in back of your $300 piece of equipment
$300 ?!? Damn.. you got ripped off. LOL!
Besides.. what's wrong with a piece of paper on the back of the battery ?

Yes he did....go back for your change
I used ticky tack! works amazing
I've seen somebody use double sided tape before... Needless to say he almost broke his battery cover trying to take it off!!
BUBBLE GUM!!!!
Clear snap on shell thats what I use. I dont use the included clip since I just put the Dash in my pocket.
scotch tape on the sides work fine also.
heres a crazy idea...
buy another cover!

Ha ha. That wont "fix" the issue. Covers are all designed the same. Its an on going issue with the Dash, seeing how it does not fit exactly in the first place (the infamous gap at the top), simply buying another cover wont correct the issue.
Personally I have not had the "slippage", but then I always put my devices in a case as soon as I buy them.
Why wont that fix the problem ? The cover gets "loose" and it bends out a little. This is why it slips off. A new cover will always fix the problem! lol
I am confirming a combination of two fixes. Cut a business card 1-1/4" x 2". Lay card on inside of back cover and use electrical tape, overlapping about 1/4" around entire card. Problem solved, very snug fit.

what's wrong with bussiness card attached to battery is that it might burn...

Shouldn't do as the batterys only get to about 35°C @ hottest, infact i would say it's near possibility or a fluke if you get the card to burn, this trick without the gaffa also works for if you have an extended battery and want to use the smaller one as a back up but not carry the other battery battery cover with you
Hey guys,
So ive been doing a little research since i got my Desire... and notice that i am not alone with my complaints about the back cover.
When i first got my Desire... i took it out of the box, pull the back cover off (correcty), then put battery and SIM in, put the back cover back on (correctly) and was a little bummed to see that it wasnt fitting... correctly.
Not a huge problem, but a little annoying.
After reading a bit online... ive been finding that some people are experiencing the exact same issue i am (back cover popping out .5-1mm in top corner), while others are praising the back cover for its perfect fit.
anyway... i finally bit the bullet and decided to order a replacement OEM cover off ebay - $35. received it the other day, and it fits perfectly. all snug, smooth and flush.
perhaps i had damaged the original cover in the beginning, or maybe it never fitted well (didnt notice before i removed it for the first time). It could have been badly moulded during manufacture - or whatever.
so if your having this same problem with the back cover not fitting, try getting a new cover (note that if there is a problem with a certain batch of the covers - badly moulded/deformed.... you might get another lemon).
good luck guys.
cheers.
My cover came off when I dropped it, tried putting it back on (when drunk). After fitting it I noticed a bulge and gap between the cover and phone casing. It bugged me for days and I was finally going to get a new one when I looked carefully and noticed one of the anchor points/clips inside the cover was folded in.
I must've tried to force it on causing the clip to fold inwards instead of popping over the phone casing clip. Simply used my nail to lift the clip and the cover snapped on perfectly, has done ever since.
Hope this helps.
some people on some other forums had commented that their reason for the case not fitting was due to the plastic clips being folded down.
They mentioned they had managed to fold the clip back into the correct position without breaking it, and after that the cover fitted well again.
this was not the case with my cover, i had examined it and the inside back of the Desire very closely... and couldnt find a reason to explain the mis-fit.
Thanks a heap for your reply mate, glad you no longer have this problem.
Hello
was searching for some time, and couldn't find any info, whether there are GALAXY S (vibrant) back covers made from alluminium, not plastic ?
the phone is great, but it feels like a piece of plastic
thanks
As far as I know there is none as it will affect ur signals and etc. There is rubberized plastic back on eBay.

Well this is the 2nd time having to take back the case because of the broken clips so I just didn't bother for a 3rd chance and just got my money back from bestbuy. So I don't suggest buying it. The battery is great but the case sucks!

is it the real seido case or the cheapo one?... the seido one has a pt on the back, and the fake one is thick through the whole back vs the seido one is thin on the sides.... i noticed at best buy some of the batteries had the cheapo backs, and i also noticed that some of the batteries being sent are also cheap backs too
It was the one where it didn't go over the camera it was flat around the camera. But yeah it said platinum on the back

Curious but why were you removing it ? I mean I have mine and never pull the battery out ever and it lasts for like two days . Although I did go on a brief run where I was using the stock battery and bought a Seidio case (PT) and the plastic was ridiculously flimsy and fit was a joke to say the least . So I would almost lean to the side of they are getting cheaper on their materials . I have a Seidio 3500 from like 7 months ago and (knock on wood) not a single clip has broken off . So Im wondering if they arent cutting corners material wise .
I had to pull the battery on my frozen phone

i am dealing with the same problem. i have the case with the pt on the back. two of the clips broke off of it. i was able to super glue one back on but the other one wouldn't hold.
All of the corners of my seidio case have broken off, only the two clips on the side are the only thing holding the plastic part one now.
Ive had to take back several of PT and Seido's. The setup for the extended battery frankly sucks.
When removing the seidio or platinum battery cover, you have to guide your fingernail or some thin piece of plastic around the cover. You can't just pry it off like you can with the stock battery cover. I can't remember for sure, but I believe the instructions specify such caution is needed with this battery cover.

I have the Seidio 3500 mah battery and their back cover, I use my credit card to get it started at the top, and then I gently slide it down counter-clockwise until it comes off. Clips still intact.
If you are having to remove the battery, sounds like you are having a problem with the phone.

I pull mine out just like that and all of my clips still remain. The back does look incredibly thin so I took extra caution.
