Try placing the thick edge of the bugger toward the charger(USB) end of the phone. Just a little push and it will go smoothly.
thanks for the advice, but i realized i didnt have the screw tightened all the way. went right in after that.
also anyone know where i can get a non t mobile battery cover without having to pay 30 usd?

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.
So, I had my phone sitting on my work truck and I watched as it slid and flipped over and smacked the concrete. I have a good case and have dropped it before with no repercussions but this time it just shattered the screen. No big deal, hopped on Amazon and ordered a new one for about $24.
Got here today and I eagerly took my phone apart. Followed a video and had no troubles until I got to the step of actually taking out the screen. My evo had quite a bit of adhesive and being that the screen was already shattered, I had a hell of a time getting it out. Well, I seen the LCD was all bent and messed up too but I still put the new screen in and sure enough, half my screen doesn't work.
So...if I order a LCD, take it back apart and put it in along with the new screen everything should work fine again, correct? Also, do I need to order those glue strips or is there something else I can use to hold it all in place. Sorry if this seems stupid but I'm just a little irritated that I ordered one piece when I really needed another as well and I'm just at the point where I feel like buying a new one off Craigslist will be easier. Thanks in advance
Sometimes buying a new one can be better/easier but if you're capable of replacing it yourself why not lol. Just make sure you order the right part for your particular evo......
Check this out!

first, it's hell to get the digitizer (the part you actually touch) attached back on to the rest of the screen. it would be better and easier to buy the whole lcd/digitizer front for the phone.
BUT MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT LCD SCREEN: theres two different kinds, narrow strip, and long strip.

I need the same answer but I guess the answer is no
I don't know if there is a way but opening up the phone to find out is really easy. I'd you go to ifixit.com they have the instructions.

could you link to the Ifixit article?
Also, does anyone know where to get the best deal on an lcd/digitizer once I find out which one I need?
Okay, my Play digitizer screen became shattered due to a little accident last week.
I bought a replacement online and put it back together again with the aid of a video I found on here.
Everything seems fine apart from one thing, every now and then the screen moves by itself and has a mind of its own as if it's being touched, sliding through screens and selecting items etc.
Anyone else had this happen after replacing parts?
I know it's a long shot, but I plan to open it again to try and fix it, but to be honest I have no idea what to look for and any hints would help
if it works and going on the fritz by itself it means you didnt attach the cable right same thing happen to me on a few phones make sure u shove it all the way in lol
I really need to figure out how to stop dust getting behind the screen while changing it, every time I clean it there seems to be more

i have replaced the entire casing for my wife's T7373. all seamed to go good. when the phone boots up it is stuck in landscape mode. as if it not seeing a switch or trigger to know that the keyboard is in. also the keyboard lite stays on.
i have taken the phone apart again and still i am not sure where the switch is. all i can see is the metal contact ramps on the ends of the slide.
Any help would be great. "wife not happy"

The sensor is magnetic that 'senses' whether or not the keyboard is open.
iFixIt.com is a great site to help with teardowns/troubleshooting.
thank you , that joged my memory. well at least i hope i can get it fixed or the wife will kill me....
I also need to replace my case, the silver colored edge has cracked in a few places. Might I ask where you got your replacement case from? Any tips you can give from your experience replacing it?
for the replacement of the silver case can you find at http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Housing-HTC-Repair-Replacement/dp/B0052QW60Y
and at http://shop.brando.com/htc-touch-pro-2-replacement-back-cover-silver_p04432c1050d039.html
i got mine off e-bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/370526944677?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
had all the parts i needed, everything worked well. only trouble i had was the the magnet for the screen rotation. remounting the brass screw inserts was fun, what i did was use one the longer screws same size. and heated the brass up and screwed the brass insert in.
other little tips. there will be little plastic parts and need re-secured. i just heated up a end of a T25 to melt the little tabs.
have fun it took me about 2 hours and , had to take part the phone a few times to make sure i got it all right.
Just got my Verizon Note 4 yesterday and of course had to take back off to put battery in....for the life of me I cannot get all the snaps to close on the back cover...If I get them all at the top..I have one two not snapped at the bottom and vice versa...
How in the hell you get the darn back plate to close and snap securely all the way around...? Is there a pattern or tick one needs to follow?
TIA

Insert the bottom tabs 1st. Make sure they're engaged properly then work your way up.

trying my darndest to follow these directions but i have a stubborn clip on the bottom right corner of the back cover. it refuses to house properly, and it's to the point where i've tried forcing it and put a little dent in the cover. it seems like shoddy work, and i'm getting rather frustrated at the fact that i have a back cover that just won't sit properly on the phone.

i know this thread has been knocked back a good amount of pages and i'm not trying to bump for the sake of spamming, but this is definitely an issue for at least two of us on here. nobody else is finding that the back plate doesn't fit properly? i've narrowed it down to being an issue of the bottom two snaps on either side being too close together, most likely from the backplate becoming somewhat deformed. i went into a small local retailer and they made it sound like it was my fault, as though i had removed the backing improperly and caused the issue. i'm going to stop by a larger store later today to see if they'll take a look, but before i go in i want to get some idea of how common this issue is for other people.
so again, is anybody else having trouble closing the phone back up after opening the back cover? is it just me and parcou here who can't seem to get it to fit?
No issue here. I remove my back twice a day and it goes back on with no problem. I just lay it on the device and push it on both sides up near the heart rate monitor until it snaps in place then just go around the edges to make sure it snaps all around. I don't try to line up the top or bottom at all.
Same here
I had the same prob but with a little force an what sounded like a bone break it went on. I have not taking the back off since.
The tab at the top, in the corner, next to the headphone jack will not snap on mine. The back creaks when I squeeze it there, but the gap between the back and the phone just opens back up when I stop squeezing. Does this sound like something I should mention to Verizon? The gap is definitely big enough to allow dirt or moisture to get into the phone.
No problem with mine. placed the battery on and snapped it back together. I had to be showed how to pull the back off. Like they said use the top right corner to do that. - If I remember that right for the side ...
I had the a couple of the clips never seem to click into place. I thought I would break the glass pushing so hard.
I got a black replacement back from Ebay, much more tacky feeling that my original white back. It clicked right into place.

Sorry, no issue here either.
This totally sounds like a back plate problem tho.
Were you able to get your hands on a new back cover or maybe test out a back cover of a display model at a Verizon store?

Sorry about that issue. This is weird since I have no problems. I purchased a battery charger and a second battery and I change batteries everyday and have no issues... thank God.

I've been having that same problem, with both the original backing and the book like car that Samsung makes. The $50 case from Samsung is going back until they're cheaper and I'm just getting something for the back from eBay to cover the open spaces.
Hello,
It's September 2017 - I just got my new old stock Verizon Note 4 and I'm seeing the same back cover problem. Out of the box it was not seated at the bottom edge. I could seat it at the bottom, or top - but not both.
The solution for me was to start by seating the bottom edge and the first clip up both sides. Then I left the rest of the side clips unseated and used my thumbs pressed in the center of the cover to slide it towards the top. I alternated this with working on the top clips and and got one and then the rest seated. I snapped the rest of the side clips in place last.
I hope this helps!
Pete
