Bad back cover quality?

I just notice of mine and two of me friends' TP2 ,
the back cover is designed so badly....
it is easily snapped off, even when i just tried to push the power button, me hand pushed the back cover in a way it would open
the snap part of the phone, that is, in the middle of each side, when the back cover snapped, it blows the size in such a way i was afraid it will break, and leave an empty spot. not so sure if this is a defect coz it also there on 2 of me friends'
so, is this a design flaw? or we were just getting bad units?

Hi!
i have the same problem!
my back cover "automatically" open when i do a little pressure on it, and when i close it the upper border-plastic is not at the level of the phone....mmmm
BAD HTC!!!
i wondered if it was only my problem...but probably not!
sorry for bad english, tryed to explain at my best

Hmm very strange. Mine is actually very tight, i had to apply quite a lot of force to make it go off the phone. The photo looks to me as if some of the internal holding clamps are not shifted into place when you closed the phone.

i had exactly the same problem...
the cover went off really easy anche the 2 sides were not in place..
the problem is in the small tooth in the lower side of the rear cover, near the usb port...
it's too tight and prevent the cover from sittin in place..

u cut it off? oh man, am i really that brave enough for this expensive phone?
how do you know its because of that small tooth anyway? is it because when you press the bottom part of the back cover it makes a squakey sound?

i didn't cut off all the tooth...just a slice...to make is thinner...
i tought about that for a week and finally trying and retrying i took the cutter and did it...
i noticed that if i put in place the rear cover not sliding it, but pushing it in place from the corners, it fited right, but the bottom part could not snap in place because of that piece of plastic...
slicing it down really carefully did allowed the back cover to snap in place
the sides of the cover now are almost in place....the bump is still there but is really not noticeable now...

i gained the bravery lookin at htc online shop....30 euro for a spare back cover.....i decided to try...the worst thing it coul happen is that the cover is loose and i need a spare one....not a big amount of money...

Same problem with my phone.. (Poland) but I am not so brave to cut something that I bought for over 500 euros. I gave it back and waiting for the HTC replay.
Does anybody know if they are concerning it as a product failure and replacing it?

I guess as always it depends 2/3 on your negotiation skills if the manufacturer will consider whatever issue you have as a product failure. So if all you did was opening the cover for inserting a battery and sim and then closing it and it's not closing very well, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a replacement.

I don't have this problem, Mine is very tight....

Likewise, mine is nice cool too.

My cover was very tight (almost too tight...was kinda hard to get off) for the first month, but since yesterday it hasn't been fitting properly.
Kinda hard to tell what is wrong, but might have a look at the 'skimming' suggestion in the thread, although taking a knife to my phone...

Mine is tight too... I was suprised to read in the manual that you have to take the stylus out to remove the cover. No matter i was having issues at first.
Maybe it's time to start reading the damn things.

Mine was fine up until 2 days ago. Now I'm having the loose back cover issue. I cant believe I paid this much for a device and I have to consider modifying the back cover to fit properly.
After examining the inside of the battery cover (where the stylus inserts). I really don't see how not taking out the stylus would damage or bend the back cover when taking it off. Unless, you all see something I don't.

Thank you.
I pulled out my Drimmel tool and just barely cut a tad bit off that piece, I mean just a little bitty bit. Not too much. Now it fits a lot better than it did and it sits flush with the top of the phone like its suppose to. Don't get me wrong it could be tighter, but its not popping loose trying to get it out of its case.

Could you post a photo, maybe in good quality? I want to do same, but I am a little bit affraid... thx

Samsung Epix Screen Alignment

I did a hard reset, and am stuck at the screen alignment. I installed Remote Screen Alignment, but it appears not to have a setting for the Epix. Also, when I run it, I get an error trying to configure the remote device.
I am wondering if I need to create a .dat file for the Epix. Does anyone know the Epix calibration settings, or some other work around for beign stuck on this screen?
Thanks!

Sorry you didn't get any response faster.
I had the same problem.
I too asked for the dat and others presets.
Guess what if those didn't work the problem is the touch screen digitizer. No way around it, you have to replace it.
It is cheap on ebay $15-19 shipped. I just finished putting it on.
Caution on taking the phone apart. It's not that easy to do so.

Do you have any tips for taking the phone apart?
My digitizer is crazy and I can't get the screen to allign. I'm ready to replace it, but a little weary about taking the phone apart so far.

There is no resource whatsoever on how to take the phone apart.
I just did it cold turkey. You just can't be afraid.
I took apart an i607 Blackjack before using instructional videos. I think this was a bit easier. Similar and easier.
I did not even refer to those videos again, I just went at it like no ones business. If your scared then you will probably mess up.
You obviously remove the battery tray, battery and sim card
Remove the stylus
Remove the rubber cover nub on the upper left side.
Unscrew all the visible screws. IIRC there are 3 on each side. This is probably one of the tough parts, because each screw looks to have been applied with some loctite material. You really need a proper screw driver. Philips head, but really small. You will see it. If you start stripping the screw, or strip it. START TO GET WORRIED. Because I don't know how you will get it out then. So after you removed all the screws. Do not expect the phone to come off easily.. IT WONT, its like it is still together.
You will need to use some FORCE to pry a small portion of the phone open, and when I say small I mean small because they are clipped together tight.
If you bought the digitizer from EBAY it comes with this

That included screw driver is a torx head which is no use to you. But that yello tool is what you need to use to pry the case apart without scratching the case.
So again once you pry a small portion.. I STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM, insert that yellow tool in the opening and run it along the case and it will start to pry open the case apart.
After that, you shall see the board.. this is where my memory gets vague.
I don't think there was any other screws to be removed to remove the board, but there might have been 1.
Anyways on the left side you will see a small ribbon cable that runs through the front of the phone, that is the cable that attches to the digitizer. Unclip it and remove it. Then carefully pry the board until you see the front screen digitizer.
Now you will need to decide how you are going to remove this because it is glued on. Be careful as you will need to use force. The OEM case though IS VERY STRONG. I was flexing that b!tch and it did not crack or snap. Good quality for sure Samsung.
Once you have it removed, you will need to have new adhesive, or be ghetto and just peel apart the one from the old digitizer and reposition it for the new one.
Put the new one, attach the ribbon cable and put phone back together.
Wish I could've taken pictures while I did it, but no one ever seems to speak up about calibration problems I thought I was the only one, and I was eager to install it.

I finally got around to fixing the digitizer. Removing the screws went suprisingly well. There was another screw on the PC board that I removed. I reused the adhesive, but I had to trim some parts of it to get it flat. Overall it went pretty well.

Thank you thank you! I just replaced my i907's digitizer and thanks to your thread, it was smooth sail.
If you didn't write it here, I would certainly feared removing the digitizer with such a force, I'd fear that I'm gonna break the frame. Fortunately, Samsung made it so soft it bends almost any angle without breaking.
It helped to put the frame on the table with a digitizer down, push onto the transparent area of digitizer with fingers (starting in some corner), and slowly pull the frame upwards, away from digitizer.
I recommend this seller: http://myworld.ebay.com/e2_express/ - it was a cheapest i907 digitizer on eBay, with free international shipping for $11, and he included all tools I needed for repair. My Epix now works perfectly (well, apart from ROM, but that's a completely different story, f**k you very much, AT&T .

Replace sceen May 2010
This is actually easier and scarier than it sounds.
Six screws: four at the corners of the battery compartment, one under the rubber plug upper left, and one under the stylus. (When putting back together-be careful with the stylus screw. The stylus goes inside and so will the screw. Time to take it apart, again.)
I could not re-use the adhesive. When I was taking off the old screen, the adhesive curled up longitudinally, tried to straighten, then it balled up. My wife scrapbooks so I used her photo adhesive strips. Not as strong, probably not long term, but I needed to put the phone back together.
Putting the ribbon connector back takes patience. Be sure the "clamp" is open before you start.
If the volume rocker comes off, dammit, there is a tiny hole that fits over a tiny peg, then slide the other end into the tiny slot.
I'm impressed with the inside of my Epix. Pretty amazing how much, and how they cram it in there.

Evo Opening Tool?

I was going to teardown evo, so I bought 'plastic opening tool' to open it. After removing the six screws, I had a hard time detach the red shell. My plastic opening tool easily broke after applying a little pressure. Anyone has good idea how to open it?

Hey there. Just opened my evo for the first time yesterday. I wont mention the method that I used because it left little jagged edges in my plastic frame. I would try again with a plastic "safe-pry" tool, just like the green ones you posted. It takes considerably more force than I had expected after removing the torx screws, both to remove the backing (pictured in your post) and to remove the screen (this is what I was up to - cracked glass replacement). "A bit of adhesive" is what I was told holds the glass into the plastic frame... understatement of the year with my Evo. I really had to work at it. Again, the tool I used jacked me up a little, so I would not reccommend using anything other than something plastic that can slide in between the separation of the frame and whatever you are trying to remove. Good luck!

so THATS what the inside of my phone looks like
I'm too afraid to even attempt to open mine..
I had a dream one night that I dropped it in the toilet, I quickly took out the battery dried it off, but it was broke.
I woke up sweaty and relieved that it was just a dream!!
Worst dream ever ><

I've been looking everywhere for a plastic safety tool. Where can you buy them other than online

After removing the midget screws, I found two different ways to go about removing the housing. 1 a guitar pick, like shown. 2 a plastic credit card. Either will do just fine. ^^

This is what the beast looks like under the hood:

Just use your fingernail and go all the way around the case, ive had mine apart like fifty times, too easy...

Four clips around phone
The video is a good guide and same one I used, just adding a reminder.
The plastic tool is to be used along the gap to remove the adhesive and separate the clips along the sides of the phone, careful for the be clips or very delicate and can easily broken with your fingers.

I've always just use a small metal flathead screw driver. Never had any issues, but my frame is not structurally sound either. There is a crack near the 1/8" jack from throwing it around.

I was able to buy a complete set of tools from a frys electroic store. I use them to fix smartphones and laptops. Those green pry tools and guitar picks look like they should work. :good:

i was able to use my index fingers and thumbs to bump a 6 month old thread, and the back cover came right off. easy peasy.

Haha. Yeah, best advice I can give is to not force anything that feels like it is being stubborn and only use plastic tools when prying open things.

Those longer blue and green tools (about 2 in) with narrow edges are absolute junk. They broke on me during a screen replacement for a friend and i swapped to a metal electronics flathead and took my time. Only a few marred edges.

this has nothing really to do with this thread but i swear i thought the title said "eye opening tool" i then proceeded to "wat?" all over the place wondering why its in the accessories section for the evo, then i realized the error in my reading haha

PS3 Controller: My phone mount mod

First post, thought I'd make it some what useful! After playing around with a PS3 controller on the S3 it became pretty obvious that some form of phone holder would be required. The GameKlip was ideal but inc postage to the UK was far too much for me to consider spending. So I decided to make my own mount and share it with you guys for a bit of inspiration.
The only real cost was the cheap £2 case from eBay, as the other materials were lying around scrap.
The aim was to keep the mount simple, lightweight and not alter the centre of gravity too much.
The mount consists of a wire frame made from a welding rod bent into shape using a vice and mole grips. It is designed to be held in place via two screw holes on the base and lightly pinches the middle of the controller.

}
A small steel plate (not the lightest of metals but it was lying around!) was then soldered onto the wire frame and spray painted glossy black to match the controller; this would provide a larger surface area to attach a case to.
The frame was then stuck to a sturdy plastic phone case with some super strong double sided tape (used on cars).
The phone mount was so simple to make I had time to make a second one for the other half and so far they have been great to use. Not as great as the GameKlip of course, but a lot cheaper!
Just thought I'd share it with you guys incase anyone need inspiration for their own mounts; any thoughts or feedback would be great too.
[Side note: why do image upload URLs change randomly?]

that looks neat. i dont think my thumbs can reach the screen. do you have large thumbs? just messing with u. do you have a problem with counterweighing the phone and the controller?

Ha, I must have large thumbs. The height between the controller and phone had to be there unfortunately, so I can reach the triangle and up buttons underneath. The S3 is so brilliantly light there is not really any extra pressure on your hands/wrist, played a couple hours straight these evening with no adverse affects.

Anyone have an advice or point me in the right direction for attaching and displaying images in a post?
Thanks in advance.

Can you sell me 2 (just the metal part i will use my own case on the metal) , i can pay with paypal and i need it shipped to florida?

Any chance you remember what the wire came from or the steel plate. GameKlip doesn't make one for my phone and he has no plans to. I have an amaze 4g and really want something to do this and i'm pretty good a DIY type things..
For the life of me I cannot find a wire similar or something stiff but bendable. Any ideas? Also any ideas on where to shop for types of metal or somewhere you could get a piece cut as I don't have many abilities tool wise in my apartment.

Very cool idea nice work. Always like to see people come up with cool ideas.

The wire is a copper coated mild steel gas welding rod. Similar to these on eBay, you might be able to get a "test" sample from somewhere. It is pretty strong, but with a vice and mole grips you'll easily be able to manipulate the rod. The steel plate was just part of a scrap sheet, cut to size with a hack saw. Not sure were you are located to advise you further on buying the plate? Any other questions just let me know.

This is a great Idea! Gonna go search my shed see if I can do something similar.. Live in UK so GameKlip isnt exactly the best option for me..

Put some pics on here when you are done. Curious to see what other come up with.
I use mine on almost every commute to work; makes GTA: Vice City far more enjoyable!

Awesome!
Thanks so much! I didn't want to fork out for a GameKlip and postage and just had to try this when I came across your post. Used an old coat hanger and bent it into shape with pliers and sheer manliness. It's crude but it works and it only took me half an hour. I've bought a case to use so that I can attach it on as well.

Bumper case advice to keep phone's screen attached

http://imgur.com/a/fe2JV
My phone has a screen problem which you can see in the image. The screen is not attached to body. When I push that side of screen with my hand it goes normal, so I think it is a adhesive problem. I need screen to stay steady because back button is hard to press in this condition.
So is there any bumper case which can hold screen attached to body so I can use it without any problem?

If nothing else, this case should hold your phone together. Other cases may work too, though it is difficult to tell if the small lip they have over the screen would be enough.

have you tried superglue lol

@MehStrongBadMeh
Thanks! I will look intothat case.
@parrotgeek1
I dont really want to open phone. Is there any way to use superglue without removing the screen?

Put the glue on the end of a toothpick then run it along the inside edges of the screen and phone @sevindi

Dang brother, that looks bad. Very sorry to see this. Can I ask is this the result of dropping the device or this happened on its own? It doesn't look like it has any damage to it, have you tried contacting hTC?
As for cases, I prefer the thinner ones.
The Spigen Thin Fit has treated me very well on my hTC M9, and then now on my hTC 10. They do a good job I think with providing a nice thin product that actually does prevent small dings and what not (my 10 is still brand new looking and has been in this case with no screen protector since release day, but everyone's use is different). Color choice I wish they had black but the gunmetal looks great.

If I may recommend this:

That's pretty bad.. Why haven't you RMA'd your device or at the very least contacted HTC?
As far as I can see from that picture, no clear signs of a drop either so...it should be a clear case of manufacturing defect.

Try tech 21, it has a lip around the phone. Good case too

I have seen a video about "disassembling?" on youtube. They just warmed the display up with some device, in order to reattach it. Maybe you want to have a look at such video to get an idea.
+1 for RMA before it gets wrecked fully.
Especially since i think it has some very nice degree of water resistance and dust resistance, when put together properly. You should let a professional take care of, to get the best result.

That'll be a heat gun mate, it'll also ruin most the glue sticking it down.. Probably not a good idea to do this yourself, if someone else has changed the screen out then RMA might not be allowed. If it's just gone this way by itself then Yea RMA for sure.

Thought you called me an angel for a moment there
Definitely send it in mate, if this has happened on it's own it's obviously a terrible defect, more than likely the battery has swollen, or the glue has come away or the phone has bent, or a combination of either.
Either way, not your fault and not a good sign, bearing in mind that this lump is a £600 phone! Not cheap and certainly not something i'd go dabbling with unless it was a last resort.
I stripped down a One X to do a replacement screen swap, ended up snapping a flex, and i'm a careful guy
So if you ask me send it back.
