Replacement battery door?

Does anyone know of a way to get a replacement battery door for a reasonable price?
I just got this phone a little over a month ago, and already the battery door doesn't fit anymore.

It seems like it's too big for the phone. I pop in one side, and the other side pops out. It's impossible to snap all the pins in at the same time. I have no idea how it got this way.
I called samsung and the service rep told me that the battery door is the only thing that is not covered by warranty.

No offense, but it looks like you're not inserting the bottom end of the door first. That's the part sticking out in that picture. It slides in first, then snap the rest in place

I wish it was me just being stupid. I've spent a good half an hour trying to maneuver it into place. No matter what I do, I can't get all the pegs to snap into place.
I'd like to add that I called the genuine Samsung accessory department, and the ditsy girl on the phone said she has never heard of a gsm galaxy nexus, and she only had the Sprint and Verizon one in her computers. Those back covers are only $9, but unfortunately don't fit my GSM version.

Press down the 2 pegs..?

Just don't get the ones with the metallic look. They may look pretty, but they have the same fit up problem, AND also weaken the radio. I had a lot of trouble getting a GPS lock while using those, and my cellphone reception was weaker too.

you probably forced the cover on also not putting it on properly, causing the connectors to wear out.

S-Pen issue (Not the standard sensitivity issue)

I am right-handed and the phone's setting is set to right-handed, this is how it looks when I draw a line from the left side of the screen all the way to the right until the S-Pen disconnects from the screen:

You can clearly see that the line is cut-off half an inch before the edge. If I hold the S-Pen in the left hand and drag a line from right-to-left, I get the same effect on the left side of the screen. Disappointing.

I've got the AT&T Note II and I am not seeing this. I'm a righty with right-handed mode.
.

I wish I could borrow a different pen to determine the source of the problem. How much does a new S-Pen cost anyway?
-EDIT: I bought a new one on eBay for $20US, will have to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive.

I have a similar problem. Not as exaggerated though. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of then Pen, which you can adjust by taking the button off. I think it is due to the way the Pen is powered. When it is off the edge of the screen, it isn't getting as much power. Look into how wacom pens are powered to see what I'm talking about

I calibrated the sensitivity slightly by turning the potentionmeter half a turn counter-clockwise and now it's PERFECT.
This thread should help others who suffer from this issue.
p.s. now I regret paying $20US for the other S-Pen..

Is there a link with instructions of how you did it?

Be very careful and gentle with the screw, it's really easy to break.

Car sticky pads and One?

Ok I found out a very nice way to hold my One in my car,though I dunno if someone tried it with the One which is the first Android phone to be in aluminum,and I wonder if we can use it horizontally

I have something like that in my car, however I always have a plastic case on and it sticks on there no problem, issues with this pad is that over time dust will gather and you will have to wash it, but when you do it becomes sticky again.

I don't know if I can trust this pad to hold my phone well. What if I suddenly hit the brakes hard and the device falls on its face and breaks or like right out of the window? Maybe I am just too paranoid. Ha ha!

i found mine lost stick way too quick, too much hassle to repeatedly wash. I turfed it.

I think this pads have magnetic + rubber coating so that it catch phones,I have read in the comments that phones are like glued to the pad!
I hope so because our Lebanese roads are very bumpy

If you can snag some, look into Pugoo. Fully washable, quite strong, and easy to remove.

I something similar to this for my S3 and it worked very well in keeping it in place; however, when I switched to my HTC One it no longer sticks well at all, probably because of the aluminum casing. I always use my phone without a case and was never worried about my S3 unsticking, but I wouldn't use it with my HTC One unless it was in a plastic case.

Screen defect?

I just purchased a Tab Pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi).
Love it and it's great. However, I quickly noticed something under the glass that might or might not be normal. It could be part of the manufacturing since it is so perfectly in the middle, past the display, and under the glass.

I am asking here because I ordered online and the device no longer has any retail presence to compare with in person. So, if anyone could tell me if they see or don't see the same, I appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello,
I can't tell from the pictures if it's the same issue I had, however it probably is and I can see you are using the "clip" style case, I had the same / similar issue with this tablet where the screen would develop bubbles or what looked like bubbles (still not sure exactly what it is).
Basically it's an "easily fixable" defect with the tablet, it's caused when using a certain type cases that clip onto the tablet edges (even the official book cover case causes it!)..... if you want, try to remove it out of the case and leave it overnight face down and see if the "flaw/bubble" goes away or gets better, if it does then you will have to get a case that doesn't use the clip mechanism (I choose the minisuit rubber case for mine since it holds from above),the bubbles have never returned back since and it has been over 1 year.
you can see see my posts here when I had the issue and how I ended up solving it. (and yes mine did start out as a small dot like yours have then slowly spread to what you see in my pics)

Edit: thought I would show a current picture.
and here is my tablet today under the intensity of a florescent light - as you can see it has completely healed from the pics in that thread. (you can also see what type of case I am now using too.)

M8 owners, does you have problems with screen separating from body?

Hi guys, i have my htc m8 for about 18 months, i noticed today that the screen is not flushed anymore to the body.
i saw some threads talking about it like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/screen-separation-t2886447
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/screen-coming-off-bent-t2989437
right now is not like the pictures on these threads, is almost unnoticeable, i noticed because i really looked for the device and noticed that if i push the screen it goes back to original position.
does anyone have this problem too? i think that the problem is the battery that is already increasing the size, or maybe is just the glue of screen that worn off.
i was expecting to wait for the M10 and S7 but i'm afraid this problem will affect the resale value and will probably get rid of this device sooner.

I do not have any problems at all. I have had at the phone for about more than a year now, and I must say it barely has a scratch. I'm using a very good case and a tempered glass screen protector and barely drop the phone.

i took pictures of this problem today. i think is getting worse.

The sides of the display also pop out 1-2 mm out of my phone. It used to make a cracking noise when I pushed it back. It started about 6 months ago. It didn't get any worse, in fact, now the noise is gone and I barely notice it any more, even when looking from the side.

I have the cracking noise only...

I don't know if is just the glue that worn off or is the battery fattening that is pushing the screen. i hope is just the glue.
but don't matter how hard i push the screen it goes back to the same position, i don't know how would i glue it back since it will not stay glued to the body. unless i use glue inside and put the device below some heavy books, and get a few days later.
