Just an FYI, you may want to remove the stylus before removing the back battery cover. I'm sure some of you have heard there are a number of us Rhoduim owners found that out the hard way. It's written in the manual, this should be done before removing the back battery cover. What results from you not doing this is the battery cover get just the slightest little bend on the side the stylus inserts, then it will never fit the same.
I am still skeptical this is the reason why, but it really doesn't matter what I think at this moment. I know myself and a few others had to modify ours to get it to fit like its suppose to and there are others this didn't happen to. So just to let you know, better to be safe than sorry. Fortunately, my seller from overseas is sending me a new one (back battery cover). Hope for the best and enjoy this very cool device.
Thanks for the nice tip.
I'll keep this in mind.
FWIW: It appears the back of the T-Mo USA version is different from the ones that people are reporting problems with...I've taken mine off several times (with stylus in place) and I can't see where the cover tabs would be affected by the stylus...
Additionally, the T-Mo USA manual makes no mention of stylus removal prior to cover removal.
I've taken mine off 2-3 times with the TMO TP2 and have no problems with the stylus being in there.

I agree, I looked and studied where the stylus inserts in the back and I can't see where the stylus would have any effect on the removal of the back battery cover. But my back cover did need some modifying to fit properly again. It has a very slight bend on the side where the stylus inserts (just barely noticeable).
I didn't know it wasn't mentioned in the T-moe's manual. I was just trying to give y'all a heads up. I have never been one to open up the manual first, before taking off the battery door to install the battery. I guess now I know I should.

Been using the device for a month to date, hasn't been an issue for me.
I've only removed my battery cover around 8 times just to show iphone users what their phone can't do.
Just saw the hardware tour video of the T.Mobile Touch Pro2 and the casing design is very different from European/Asian HTC Touch Pro2 version, and from the video, it doesn't look like one needs to remove the stylus before removing the cover on the T.Mobile version.
On my Asian version, the stylus goes through an opening in the middle of the side of the removable back cover (on T.Mobile version, there is no opening), so while it may not be necessary to remove the stylus to take off the cover, it is advisable when replacing the cover to take it out beforehand.
The text in the user manual could have been referring to the European/Asian version, and was ported to T.Mobile without editing.
Yea, I see that now. I just didn't want these guys to have to go through the crap I had to go through with a brand new high dollar device.
Mods you can delete or close this thread if you like.
It's good to discuss these things sometimes. I much prefer the T.Mobile version - it has a better casing design than the European/Asian one, especially with the reset button.
are you joking?
The T-Mobile USA version looks horrid in comparison to the svelt european version.
They even crippled the software with the horrid Touchflo remix.
If I had to have the TP2 in that black USA flavour I simply wouldn't have bought it, especially with the re-assigned keyboard. I do like the idea of a reset button though.

lol take the trolling elsewhere, then take a look what AT&T did to their version.
And if you're about to get your brand new TP2, for goodness sake, DO NOT let the people at the store put the battery in the phone. My back cover is constantly falling off now thanks to an overzealous employee 'helping' me with my phone.

No, but they should have kept the chrome bezel. It was beautiful!
Soo, when it's damaged, the stylus just inserts and removes very tough at the beginning??? Correct? I haven't taken my stylus out till reading this thread, lol, and this stylus if freakin hard to remove. So, that means the back cover ****ed up my phone? lol, dam.
The T-Mobile employee put in the SIM and battery for me, I never knew about this. Dammit. Gotta take it back I guess. But that is what you guys experience when it's "damaged"? I'm getting this correct?

Exactly what happened to me. Accept I took off the back battery cover myself and then the battery cover was misaligned and would stay on correctly.

Hmm. Well, the stylus is basically un-removable, unless you got fingernails and you pry it, lol.
I'll be returning it for a new one, I guess. And I'm not letting T-Mo employees touch it this time
Over the years, my preferred method of addressing the wear/tear was not by using cases (which add bulk), but my simply getting a new phone housing when the old one gets too scratched up.
And it looks like OEM-like housing for HD mini are beginning to appear on the market, such as here.
Looks like HD mini housing is absolutely identical to Aria's. I'm going to stock up on one and give it a try.
Please let us know how this works out, I wonder if someone will sell just the back cover.

With most phones now having glass in the capacitive touch screens, I just don't see your extra housing providing much protection from a drop.
It's still a good idea though.

Indeed I'd be concerned about the screen in the case of a drop, but agreed its a good idea. Let us know how this works out, I'll have to keep it in mind if it does work on if/when my housing ever takes a beating
I bought 2 of these from ebay thinking the exact same thing. They were advertised for the HD mini as we all now know it is the arias winmo twin. When i received my housings I was very excited to try them on but ended up being very disappointed. The housing came with a few pieces of excess plastic from the manufacturing process which was no big deal. Next I noticed that there were no volume buttons, again not too big of a big deal as they can be carefully removed off the old case and hopefully attached to the new case. The absolute deal breaker was the fact that the Aria antenna IS the back cover, and this replacement did not include the antenna. I examined the original and I do not believe it is possible to remove the antenna and reattach it to a replacement. However this particular housing may be different, either way let us know what your results were.
check these out they look like oem with the htc

You're right -- none of the HD mini housings I see advertised on Ebay have the antenna contact leads on the inside

That's a case, what's being discussed here is the actual body of the phone
It's too bad about the mini's back cover not having the antenna contacts, hopefully true Aria accessories will start coming out and you can get your hands on a real housing for it
ya sorry about that , it was deceptive looking the first one i looked at had the logo and tri-screw holes. thought it was a replacement back cover
Question for those with a white 2000mah official extended battery
I received mine today from Amazon. and the top part of the new backing didn't clip into the phone. I've sent it back for a replacement. My question is, has anyone experienced this before or was I just unlucky and got a faulty cover? I have the I9100p (the NFC) model and was wondering if there is a compatibility issue?
Many thanks!
Hi,
Had exactly the same issue - I also have the 9100P and the back cover is slightly changed from the 9100 , the tabs on it are deeper and the extended back will not fit correctly.
I have yet to find an extended battery designed for the 9100P , ebay , amazon etc all sell the standard one. . .
I have also found that the phone does not fit well in all cases - again the back appears to be very slightly deeper??
Sorry cant be more helpful. .
All the best

thanks for the reply matey
looks like ill have to cancel the order for the extended battery
extended battery that makes the back of the phone flat without that curve?,i hear some have their clips at different positions, i dont know why samsung did this, i havent brought one due to this.
I bought the Andina battery 2000 maH and it works just as well as well as the Samsung and same size as original
I know there are a few people having problems with the fit of the new back cover for the extended battery but here's how i solved my problem.
I don't know about anyone else but my original battery cover actually fits although it is tight and there is a ridge in the back of the cover because of the thickness of the bigger battery. I got round this by using a nail file to file down the thicker plastic end caps at the top and bottom so they are flush with the thickness of the actual battery body i also rounded off the sharp edges. it doesn't give you much maybe just 1mm but it's enough to get a decent fit.
i hope i've explained that ok
pics? what to file?

Hold the battery side on you can see the top and the bottom plastic ends are just a little thicker than the battery body, they are the places to file but don't go mad. You'll only get about a millimeter but it's all you need. I've done it on my black i9100 and my daughters white one although the black battery cover is a little more flexible and easier to get on.
I have a similar problem with the black extended battery back cover I bought for my Orange I9100P. I got it from Amazon UK and I got a Korean NFC battery but the back cover from the UK battery just doesn’t snap in properly.
The bottom left just won’t snap in for some reason. The strange thing is that my mother has a SG2 from O2 the I9100 version and it fits perfectly into that phone. Is there a difference between the two models or is it a manufacturing fault with my phone? Should I send it back to Amazon for a replacement or should I be sending the phone back?
I have two pictures with the back cover on my phone, one with me pressing it down and the other with it loose but I'm not allowed to link to URLs yet. So if you want to see them go to imgur with this after the .com a/kaflG
this is the same as me it wont snap on right, i have even shaved the bits on the back off and still wont fit in right or the bottom left to.
i tried bending it a bit as well with still same of not fitting in right
I have i9100 and my girlfriend the i9100p.
I use the official extended battery and it stays on but not perfect. It does not fully snap on at the top.
It will not stay on at all on i9100p so I don't think there is a fault at all here it just seems that the p is slightly different for some reason and the back covers provided with the larger battery are just not that well made.

I may be wrong but I heard that the battery of the i9100p hosts the antenna of the NFC. Hence the different size with the i9100.
So, appart from your problem, changing the battery will mean that your NFC won't work anymore.
Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.
Pics of this? I didn't know gs2 batteries fit

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.

I know I'm joining the Trophy party a little late (I'm getting mine after a friend upgrades to a WP8 device), but I've been browsing the internet and have seen so many interesting cases and other items for the Trophy, but I am wary about buying a case that isn't listed for the Verizon variant.
Are the two versions (Spark and Spark_W) identical physically? Will a Spark case work on the Spark_W?
Also, I've heard rumors that the slightly larger HTC TouchPro 2\Imagio\Evo 4G battery will fit the Trophy. Is this true? (Can one of the aftermarket Anker batteries also fit?)
Thanks.
EDIT: Discovered there is a major difference between the GSM and CDMA Trophy. Volume and power buttons are switched on the devices. Have to make sure that the cases are for the CDMA one if you're on Verizon.

Wah wah? As far as the case, both devices are physically the same. Every picture I have seen of the two phones shows the volume/camera/power buttons in identical locations. Just looking at the two side-by-side, I'm sure that there is no difference, so any case you buy should fit either (I recommend a Casemate personally.. I have the original version of the Casemate case and it has been awesome.. except for the little stand thingy).
Now, as far as batteries go, I have never observed a difference in the standard battery sizes between my HTC Eris/Trophy/Touch Pro 2, all the batteries fit perfectly, mind that they are of the standard capacity. I recently ordered the "Fosmon 2200mAh Extended Lithium-ion Battery w/ Cover for HTC 7 Trophy T8686" and am going to see if this fits and works well with the SparkW.
The differences between the Spark and SparkW are all in the hardware. I wanted to obtain a Spark for development, but now see no point (as I got an HTC Pro 7 [on Alltel] and you really REALLY have no choice but to downgrade bootloader's with anything but GoldCard method) as the perfect rom already exist for the device.
Are you planning on running Trophy on Verizon, or another carrier with unlocked sim card? This is where we see people go wrong, as most can't get HSPA+ data working with the VZW Trophy and another carrier.

I went to the Microsoft Store and typed in HTC Trophy into the search, and it came up with 2 kinds of case. One is listed as HTC Tophy (base) by Incipio, and the other is listed as just HTC Trophy by incipio (That's the brand of case that I purchased)
Looking at them, the volume and power buttons are on opposite sides. I had to go to Verizon's Site to find which layout I needed (I needed the one with the large cutout in the back, not the small cutout for just camera and speaker)
Compare http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...-HTC-Trophy-Base/productID.247343200/vip.true
to http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...e-for-HTC-Trophy/productID.247343500/vip.true
and you'll see what I mean. Headphone and power buttons are switched.
As for what carrier I will be using it on, I do plan on using it on Verizon. I have the grandfatered unlimited data plan and plan to cling to it for as long as possible. This means getting a WP7 device now, and a WP8 device when they are reasonable off contract.
My mother is still using her Touch Pro 2, so I plan to check battery sizes when I am home next to see how much bigger the TP2 battery is compared to the Trophy. I know it's only 200MAH, but that's still something. Plus, an Anker 1700mAH battery is designed to fit without a different battery cover in a TP2, so I would assume it would fit without an extended battery cover on a Trophy. And since my mother needs a new battery on her Touch Pro 2, I might as well get the 2 pack.

Ah, I see, so it has to do with the stupid pictures on Microsoft's site that has lead to your confusion. Well, those case pics are wrong: Here is a picture/review of the GSM Trophy, and you can see it is very much the same outside, camera included.
I grabbed my Trophy in the last month before the end of unlimited data, so I understand wanting to keep it (I will be looking to buy a WP8 at full price as well). I'd love to try a 1700mAh battery, but I'm pretty sure the original Verizon battery is only rated at 1250mAh-1300mAh, so 1700mAh is a much bigger upgrade then you realize (the phone doesn't get that great of battery life, even with good reception and mild use). I'll be trying out the 2200mAh over-sized battery with replacement backing to see how it works (it was cheap, can't complain), so I'll be interested to hear what your results are with the 1700mAh battery.

This is what I"m looking at. http://www.amazon.com/1700mAh-Batte...urpose/dp/B0050MUSLY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
They say that it's a drop in replacement for an Evo 4G\Touch Pro 2\Whatever, and so I would assume that it's like the MugenPower 1800mAh that does the same thing for the Trophy.
I'm planning on buying it when I get the phone, and if it doesn't fit, I have 2 batteries for my mother's Touch Pro 2 to last her until she shears the display off or crushes it with her car again.
EDIT: canceled my order w\ Microsoft before it shipped. Going to look at the cases for a bit longer than 3 minutes and see if I can find out which one is the real one. I'd rather get the one with the small cutouts, but I doubt that is actually for the Trophy. I could buy it and see if it arrives and fits my phone. I'm seriously thinking that it probably is designed for the HTC Radar instead (looks rather similar to my GF's Radar case) and the wrong picture was posted.
(Just checked it against the Radar page on HTC, and the one that is listed as "base" is for the Radar) Going to probably order the other case soon so that I have one before they disappear.

Okay, so I got the 2200 unofficial battery, and it REALLY should only be used on Spark. See, there is one TINY difference in the battery cover, and it is a small clip in the upper right of the phone! On Spark is must be vertically, but on SparkW it is on horizontal! I didn't realize this and forced the cover on and it made a bit of a divot in the phone... since this is my frank-n-Trophy, I'm not considered (but impressed that the new back held up, didn't break.. and even broke the phone's case lol). I'll charge the battery and give it my "at work" torture test tonight.
Now, what I WISH I had seen was this: Official OEM HTC Trophy extended battery. It's rated at 2150mAh (so basically the same)... cost be damned its an official part, and this one is for the Verizon Trophy. Maybe I'll get one of these for my original Trophy.
I am digging the added weight. The phone finally feels as heavy as I wish it had (yeah, I'm a weirdo, I don't like light phones).

I am digging the added weight. The phone finally feels as heavy as I wish it had (yeah, I'm a weirdo, I don't like light phones).

Care to post a picture of the two backs side-by-side so I can see what you mean about the cilp?
Let me know how the extended battery performs. I know where to get just the official back for the extended battery pretty cheap (I hope) and may get the pair to try and save some money. Unless the Spark back still works fine.
And what do you mean by "frank-n-trophy"? Storage upgrade mod?
