Did you remove the protective film on your keyboard?

As the title says, did you remove the protective film on the keyboard?
There's three of them. One left, one right and one on top.
There's also a fourth big one on the back of the screen (visible when tilted).
Some people say it's meant to be there and you shouldn't remove them.
Others say it's just there to protect during transportation and that they should be removed.
I have no idea, but removed them because one came a bit loose.
Does anyone know what HTC has to say about them?

Same as me , but I removed only the left & right ... the rest is still tight

Same here, left and right came loose so they're off. Have noticed the left side slider is leaving a mark that can be rubbed off, I imagine it will cause a scratch eventually.
Possibly replacing with a custom cut out invisi shield would help but would need to take the phone apart to apply it correctly... would need to be done under warranty.

had my TP2 for a month now and the protective firm is still on there, i also left the one behind the screen and added the screen protected that came with the phone. The reason why i didnt took it off is that i saw it was leaving marks so i was afraid it will leave scratched and prolly soon i will sell it so i dont want it to be scratched up.

leaving mine intact even though the one to the right of keyboard is coming lose.

One on the right is a bit loose but shall keep it on until it falls half way off. I wonder if you can get replacements. He he he...

LOL.. I even didn't noticed it at all! So I just removed it.. and like e-Way mentioned; I removed only the left & right, the rest is a bit hard to get rid off!

My left one has crumpled up and is coming off now, I imagine it will scratch quite badly given time as the plastic is already hammered and its not yet a week old.
Messa

My right one rumbled up when closing the keyboard, scaring the hell out of me!
So I removed the left one myself.
Never noticed the one above the keyboard, and on the back, until I read about it here

I took all mine off, because I could see they were gonna fall off in time anyway, and tbh, I thought they made my glossy device look a bit tatty. I have no nasty looking wear marks after a month of heavy use.

none of them came loose but i can see scratch marks on the side. im gonna leef them on as long as possible.

Mine are getting loosened by sliding it in to the Brodit Tytn II holder (which it fits perfectly!). So I may need to trim the ones either side of the keyboard back a bit.

mine was loose also so stripped it off. And didnt want to seem too precious about my phone... it is just a phone anyway... (The me a year ago wouldnt say this but after giving birth, my perspective has changed... but still love my phone though, not just with the same passion before )

My TP2 is send to HTC for repairs, one of the problems i mentioned were the loose protective films (the other problems had to do with battery-charging problems, bad responsive keys on the keyboard, loose on/off-button and TouchFlo3D startup problems).
According to (at least two) HTC-helpdesk employees these three films should not be removed and could be repaired (more like replaced) under guarantee.
Many people on a dutch forum tell me i'm crazy that i've put this problem on my list to HTC, but if they wanna repair it, and i don't get scratches on my device that way... who's crazy then

Came loose, and removed them.. i only saw scratch marks on the protective film, still no marks without them..

Yeah, that's exactly what I had.
Marks with the film, but none without them.
Still, just to make sure, I cut up some clear tape and applied that to the left and right side. It's thinner, but I can already see some marks on it... strange.

Yes but I bet your phone doesnt wake you up 3 times a night and demand feeding !

The sticker on the left of the keyboard came loose last week. I peeled it away. There's no significant 'damage' to the paint as of yet - don't really expect there will be any.
I'm not sure if we're supposed to peel them off or to let them be. The device looks better without those ugly reflecting stickers. But I'm tempted to let them be until they form a problem (e.g. peel off).
I would no way return my device for a stupid protective sticker coming off though. It's not that big a deal - to me.

On day one I removed the right and the left film on the keyboard.
Still no marks without the film.
I have mine now for almost a month.

So how about the one on the back of the tilting screen. What did you guys do with that?

Replacing screen on Touch Pro 2

Coucou !
I've already dismantled my TP2 without any major problem.
I took the screen apart from the bezel, but they stuck together with a foam adhesive, which I don't know where to find it.
I call my local major electronic reseller, but he doesn't have any and doesn't know where to find such...
Can you help me, as my phone relies into pieces on my desk, not usable!
I hope someone has the answer.
And sorry if my english is wrong, I'm better in French !

Hi,
I had the same problem, eventually used a product called (in the UK) Evostick Serious Glue which bonds to glass and sets in 3 mins, I then assembeled it and clamped the whole thing together with small rubber faced clamps until set.
Still holding 6 months later although I wouldn't like to try taking it apart again.

Coucou !
As I can see, this foamy adhesive has an non-negligeable thickness, about .2 to .4 millimeter... Is it about the same with this glue?
And I thought about Neoprene glue (correct word?). What do you think of?
And first of all, thank you for your answer and your advice!

I am going to replace the screen of my hd2 and I've read a lot about it. Some people advice double sided tape with 3 millimeter wide. Or you take 2 or 4 millimeter but you get my point
Maybe you could try to find that instead.

Coucou !
Just double-side tape? No foamy stuff ? OK, I'll wait for your answer and then try, as my phone is still in pieces on my desk...

I tried double sided tape to begin with but it wasn't strong enough, and was very difficult to cut to the small strips required.
The glue is a gel which doesn't run all over the phone casing like a low viscosity superglue and I would imagine does take up thickness but likely not as much as the original foam.
You can google it, it's on the Bostick web site, comes in a silver tube but doesn't say what the active ingredient is to find a similar product in France.
Gordon.

Coucou !
OK, I'll follow your advice, as I'm about to buy Evo-Stik Serious Glue, as seen here:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Evo-Stik-Serious...pplies_Stationery_ET&hash=item4399564359#shId
And I'll have to wait till delivery, may be next week...
By the way, I maid a mis-spelling! I said "fought" instead of "thought"...
I was asking you what you think about neoprene glue, as I already have some at home. So ?
Thanks again!

Hello again,
Yep that's the stuff It's supposed to set fully in 2 hours but I left mine clamped overnight just to be sure as it gets full strength in 24 hours.
If you don't have small rubber faced clamps I'm sure you can rig something up even just leave it under something fairly heavy. If you're lucky and it holds after the suggested 3 minutes you may not even need to do this but mine was still moving after 3 minutes so I decided to clamp it.
I'd guess your neoprene glue is some sort of rubber adhesive, possibly a vulcanising glue which will melt rubber for bonding, repairing punctures etc., it may smell of petroleum but I guess it will be no good for your phone.
Good luck, let us know how you get on.
Gordon.

Coucou !
I bought that now-famous Evo-Stik Serious Glue as I said in my later post.
So it should be now somewhere between England and France!
ASAS I received it and rebuild my phone, I'll get in touch and give you some news.

Can't remove the battery cover

Hi,
I can't remove the battery cover, which I will need to be able to do as I want to install a custom rom, but if it gets stuck in a boot loop I'll be completely stuck.
And I know the design is poor (i.e everyone has issues), but only one person has ever been able to do it (something like the 15th person, in the 6th shop I took it to, cause you need to take the cover off to unwrap the battery on first boot).
Any techniques or anything? It literally seems stuck. The guy that did it took it out the back and came back with it off.

I also would like to know if there is special way to do it.
I once drop my phone and the battery cover come out a little bit from its position. I try to put it back into its position. BUT couldn't do so. Than I try pull out the cover. Than BAMMMM!!! its broke!!!
Buy new cover, but costly..

Buying a new cover is only any use if you can get the original off. And although I don't know the technique, even people that did couldn't get it off - I was shown 2 other DHDs that could be done with a minimal amount of fiddling (i.e. mine is way worse than it should be). I had about 10 people say "oh yeah mate it's easy, you just do thi.. wait... wow, that's like glued on or something".

The battery cover is a good design. Had to take out the battery number of times and it always goes off and on as intended to, perfect.
I had another mate try to do it and he just couldn't figure it out. Wtf has this world come to??
If you look there is a little space where you put your nail and then pull it out with a bit of force and putting it in is even easier!
Honestly, so many threads/posts about this...

I'm not thick, you would have to be stupid to not realise there's a place for your nail - the problem is that my cover wouldn't budge (clearly you didn't read the OP - I took it to 5 different PHONE SHOPS - and only one guy could do it. I've opened other DHDs, just not mine. Until today...
Got a friend to try - he spent about 5 minutes but couldn't, but he must have budged it as I could get my nail into the corner - (to the left of the bit you're supposed to do) and hook it up from there - sorted

eeeeehhh RELAXXX lol
one moment...... are you talking about you can´t open the battery cover of your DHD?
REALLY YOU CAN´T?

I'd be darned if people find the DHD battery hatch to open easily... I even got the under side of my nails(the index finger) bleed trying to pry it open the first time I tried to charge the phone.

Couldn't, now can I felt really embarrassed going into a shop saying "I can't take the cover off" But then they were like... neither can we haha. It's been loosened now and can be done with a bit of technique.

It can be that it sounds absurdity but here I leave the guide of DESIRE HD, there it is written like to remove the cover.
In a Spanish forum i was read that there are people who helps herself with a credit card or a small screwdriver...
i think its solved

I can remove the battery cover from my DHD with one hand - although I end up flicking the cover several feet.
Don't get me wrong, when I first got mine it was so tight I nearly snapped it. It's by no means loose now but it has got a little easier.

I don't like my fingernails to reach some ugly lengths(like girly nail lengths) I usually keep my fingernails short b/c I have some sort of OCD... ):

Um, ok, thanks for sharing that. Useful to know.

[Q] Back cover creak.

Hello there!
I bought my xperia m 10 days ago, and i am pleased so far, except for one thing..
I noticed yesterday that the removable cover has started creaking, especially on the side with no buttons where the usb port is.
Has anyone else noticed that with their device? Is this something that inevitably happens after a while, or should i try to get it replaced because of a defect?

Yes, it started happening a few days after I bought or... If it happens to others too, I'll assume it's inevitable
This message was brought to you from my Sony Xperia M C1905 using Tapatalk.

Hmm I see..
Well I thought I'd ask because if it is something that is going to happen anyway, i will not bother taking it to the store.
They will have to send the phone to the service center and all that fuss just to replace the back cover, so it is not worth it.
If someone else can also confirm that this is the case with their phone I will be assured.

My phone also makes noises when pushed, most at top right and bottom left corners.

Well I take it there is nothing I can do about it then, so no point in returning it, I will have to live with it...
It is a shame though, because other than that the phone is outstanding in terms of value, I see no reason to spend any more that what I spent on this. It hits the sweet spot for me in the price/performance scale.

Has anyone found any solution to this problem?
I have tried putting little pieces of paper at the hotspots (bottom left and below the usb port in my case) but I had little success...
I am also curious to hear reports from others, maybe a silicon case can lessen the issue...

I have silicone case, it is the same. I am thinking about using thin layer of hotglue. It can be peeled of easily.

After some experimenting I found that putting a small piece of paper (3mm tall and about 3cm long) between the phone and the cover eliminated the major creaks that where in the lower-middle left side of my phone. I just folded a piece of printer paper in two and cut it to the above dimensions. If you try it make sure to put it in a way that does not block the small plastic clips that clip on the phone.

Is the back casing important?

I was wondering what role the back cover of the note 4 is for?
Mostly asking because I might have ruined it when I was trying to put this stupid carbon fiber skin on it -_-;; Why did I think using a hair dryer would be okay... *face desk On the bright side, I'm pretty sure I exposed only the back cover to heat and not the phone itself lol d: If I did I'm dumb and don't deserve this phone >->
Anyways, I think I've accidentally ruined the back cover of my droid inc4g and the phone just never worked the same after x_x The signal sucked and the battery stopped holding a charge... x: I'm using an s-cover case on my note 4 at the moment, but still curious in case I ever decide to use something else for protection s:

nope
Samsung even makes a flip cover case where you remove the back completely, you don't have to worry about the cover.
However, if there was any damage to the phone itself, but they take some pretty good heat.
I live in SoCal and left it a couple times in my car and it was like 107 outside, so!

Check out ebay. You can get all kinds of back replacement plates at good deals.
Eve b customized ones if you prefer

Probably should let this thread die but...
What is this part of the back cover for? Never really found out I think.. or I just have bad memory :silly:

107? I live I Phoenix and just going outside exposes the phone to 117+ on a regular basis. Heck I have even mistakenly left my phone in the car before and it gets 160+ easy in there. I bet it will be ok
