I bought a used and broken SM-T805 and removed the battery to test with another battery. But when i removed the battery I could see that the "rubber protection with holes in it" under the battery was missing. I haven´t see this part missing before. Is it important that this rubber protection is placed under the battery?
Well that was too easy. They should have used double sided super tape like they normally do
It's to keep the battery from rattling around... help make the display more solid. God forbid if it had a hollow sound when tapped. Use a similar spacer.
Thanks for your reply blackhawk.
Maybe this tablett was fitted with a new screen and they didn´t fit a new "super tape" on it?
What kind of double sided super tape kan I use insted of the original one?

I wouldn't go too nuts as next battery replacement it will need removing
If it wasn't taped down on the original ones I would simple use a similar sized spacer.
Was the OEM part thermally conductive?
If so try to get a replacement.
I'm not sure. It might be meant to help insulate the battery from the display heat... in which case you want that air gap. Li's are degraded faster by elevated temperatures.
Interesting find.

@ all,
i am one hell of an annoyed user of the hero by now. having tuned it in all possible ways,i am really happy with its functions; BUT this god damm battery cover keeps drivin` me nutz!
whenever i carry it in my trouser pockets, fumbling it out off there, the battery cover slides off the machine too easily, leaving it in either my hands or even worse simply leaving it behind in the pocket!
one of these days, having loosened the cover by taking it out off my jeanspocket, it fell to the floor and only by coincidence did i find it lying there a couple of minutes later.
now, those battery covers actually made the impression right from the start, to be part of an "überraschungs ei" (the kids schokolade toys wrapped in a yellow plastik cover, embedded in a chocolate egg)!
any idea to fasten it somewhat more reliably to the hero, yet not glueing it to the mainfraim?!

Is it just something that happens to me?
seams O2 did well with adding a "lock" to the battery cover =) but no, i can't help you sorry.

same problem no solution
Never happens to mine...
You have a MDA or XDA Thormdac? With my MDA that never happens, maybe you can exchange your battery cover, ordering a new one from your provider?
If i had that problem i would try to put a piece of duct tape on the Battery of Inside of the Cover. Well no strong tape, maybe Tesa or something like that. Of course that still leaves the problem that this ought not to happen, i know :/ But maybe this way you don't lose your cover everytime you slide your PDA out of your pockets
EDIT: I just read your signature my bad. Well, contact T-Mobile and demand a new Cover, yours definately does not function the way it should
The outer frame of my phone (the metallic plastic border-frame-thing) has a scratches and gauge on it now because I dropped it few weeks ago. I know it's just the appearance but at times I just find myself staring at it with discontent.
Here is the Link to the photo of it. (remove the spaces I'm a new user)
http : / / yfrog . com / n415092010127j
So I ask what would you do if you vibrant has that gauge/scratch?
Do you think it's fixable? maybe just sand it down to smooth it out or would it be make it worse?
Is it possible to get a replacement part?? I cannot find anything online but... I did see the non-working "T-MOBILE DUMMY SAMSUNG VIBRANT T959 DISPLAY PHONE" model on ebay.. do you think I can take the part from there? (haha, I think I do sound somewhat desperate)
oh and is there a case that just covers the perimeter of the phone leaving the back and front exposed? (I have a case for my phone already it but it makes the phone look pretty bulky)
Thank you everybody
I'd like to know this as well as I dropped mine on Friday and scratched all four corners! I thought about sanding it to give it a brushed look, but since it's plastic, I have a feeling it would look like crap.
Can you replace just that part?
Just put it in a case that covers the chrome bezel.
I had a similar issue when I had my blackberry 8900. The "chrome" around the sides started coming off, so I picked at it with my nail until it all came off. It was smooth black plastic underneath, and I'm willing to bet that's the case with the Vibrant.
You could tape off the parts you don't want scratched (screen, buttons, etc.) and use sandpaper on the chrome.

Just use a good quality liquid Wax polish used on automobiles.
I had a very similar issue as yours. I tried everything and finally came up with a solution. And it was the liquid Wax polish used on cars and bikes to make them shine. Just mask all the sensitive parts of the area of your phone in which you have scratches, then take the polish and rub it on the damaged area with optimum pressure with a clean cotton cloth (make sure a little heat is generated due to friction) . You might have to do it several time so, protect any other unwanted part.
Hope this helps ?
I noticed that pressing bezel at certain points and battery cover makes a click sound, then I came across a solution for battery cover by one of users here: putting a business card between battery and cover, it works and makes it completely silent.
So I think this space between battery cover and battery and those points on bezel might be noisy/bad implemented solutions to avoid cracks on bezels which are wide spread among Galaxy S2s and S3s (they appear out of nowhere and seem to be due thermal expansion & contraction)... Does anyone agree? Any ideas?

The upper bezel squeacks because of the motion setting.
If you enable and double tap the upper bezel in emails/contact the list will scroll to the top.
You can try just by pressing and not tapping, it still works
Aint working here... only double tap works.
Any other ideas? What about battery cover?
I also have this problem with squeaking battery cover. I have idea that it showed up because of leaving phone in pocket while I tie a shoe and the battery cover gets pressed too hard. Few days back I also noticed that I have very small crack in battery cover that I can feel with nail. Very annoying sound and not impressed with quality Soon I will get cover case for note but if the sound will be there, I will need a replacement battery cover...
Samsung's Plastic At It's Finest.
I dont think it has anything to do with pressure... I have never put it under any slight pressure and the squeaking was there as long as I remember...
Any new ideas about this issue? I also get some squealing noise when I press batter cover. Tried putting some duct tape, but it is not working, sometimes it even gets worse.
All suggestions are welcome
Yes
What models do you all have because I have not had this problem at all and I have the front cover.
Sent from my SPH-L900
I noticed this because I constantly remove my battery to do a swap and charge it externally. There was another post about this recently that I posted in. I resolved the problem by replacing my bezel/frame. I had some small scratches and a ding on it from my desk so I felt compelled to make it look new. I noticed the small plastic tabs that the battery door connects to are fragile and break off from constant removal of the door.
The bezel was around $20 with a new battery door with NFC, not to mention only taking 15 minutes.

I put a small strip of duct tape on each side of the battery and then when I put the battery back in its spot the fit was quite tight but all my squeaks were gone. The device feels much more solid now.

Thx, I'll try
This is completely normal for the Note 2. After a while the plastic pieces are no longer aligned precisely due to heat, pressure, cheap quality just like korean cars.
If I put my thumbs on the screen and my index fingers on each side of the "S" from the Nexus logo and apply a little pressure my phone makes little pop noise like the plastic may be loose. Does anyone else's do this? Could it just be that it is plastic that it makes this noise and there is nothing wrong with the phone?
Thanks for any input.:good:

If you apply pressure to plastic it's going to deform slightly which would cause a noise like that, yes.

My nexus 5 didn't do that and it's plastic.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Mine does it but only if I hold it a certain way and apply pressure in an exact location. Since I don't do this as I use the phone it's a non issue for me. I'd say if it does it when you hold the phone the way you normally would when using it and it bothers you then return it and try again? Mass produced electronic devices will always have inconsistencies and defects. You'll have to decide whether or not it's acceptable.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the input.

mine does that too. I returned it, thinking it may be a factory defect. But it appears that the new one does that too. Just plastic. Once you put that in a case, you wont' hear clicking
I fixed the clicking sound by applying a strip of insulation tape on the inside of the back cover. Be careful though, just apply one layer, two are too much and lead to a gap between fingerprint sensor and back cover.
For me the clicking sound almost disappeared after 2-3 weeks.

Good tip! This made me realize that it's easier to fix rather then go back to the store and return it for a new one (which probably will have the same issue). It look quite easy to remove the back cover in order to mount the tape, even though I'm not that inspired to dissemble a newly brought product. Did you mount the tape's sticky side against the inside of the back cover? Or did you mount it against the battery? I'm not sure it matters.

I mounted it against the back cover. But i guess it does not matter, as you only need to close the gap between battery and back cover, so there is no more space for the back cover to move.

Tried this and moved the tape several times but I realized that the squeaking and clicking sounds kept on coming back. So I cleared it for tape and sent it in for repair. It turned out that my main issue was just at the fingerprint sensor where the plastic back cover were to tight on to the right side of the metal ring around the sensor. Couldn't get rid of it after all, but it sure was a nice try! it might be a solution to other units depending on where the noise is generated.

Has anyone replaced your battery on tab s2 where you source it?
You can find New Samsung ones on ebay for around 10 English pounds.
Easy job to replace too. Takes around 5 to 10 minutes.
Just loosen the back with a sucker then go round edge with Guitar pick.
Couldn't get back off fully from the Camera, but you can easily get out the battery by flexing the back open gently.
Battery stuck down with a few spots of glue but easily popped out with the guitar pick.
Back popped right back in.... Bit of play on the back so not as water resistant as before. No issue if you use in a case for me.
Beats the 30% wear on the battery after just 14 months.
Forgot to mention, I have the 8 inch version SM-713
I looked around ebay and amazon. Those Chinese man probably selling used ones pretending to be new. Is there any reliable source for really new ones? Thx.
hi anyone here?

Try Amazon. I just replaced the battery in my T713
I’ve replaced mine twice and sent back three or four batteries.
As far as I can tell, it next to impossible to get a good battery and original is completely unattainable.
So far I have never found a decent battery.
I've asked the local Samsung support a few months ago, it cost, in usd, ~$50, so I sold the tablet instead
Anybody who has done the replacement have any issue getting the back cover back on? I broke a couple of the clips off and can't find a replacement back. I'm hesitant to glue the back together in case this battery takes a dump. I am using double sided tape that came with a screen replacement kit but it is still pretty easy to peel the back off.

Is this about the 8" version? The 9.7" version needs to have the screen removed, mid-plate unfastened (16 tiny philips screws, including 2 easy to miss ones w flat-black heads).
I've just replaced my battery, the one that was in there was an OEM Samsung but my screen was glued on w black 4mm tape that covered one of the mid-plate screws, so I dunno if this was the original battery.
I replaced mine because I was getting 'storms' of reboots, thought the battery might be the issue (FWIW, still getting the same reboots post-battery-replacement.)
FWIW, I already had a killer suction cup on hand (from a RAM mount setup), these thin pry/cut tools https://www.fixez.com/categories/repair-tools/pry-tools/qianli-stainless-steel-ultrathin-pry-tool made it easy to get the screen off.
I also had an industrial quality heat gun to soften the glue, but that turned out to be unnecessary (you might need one if you start with your tablet cold)
I just changed the Battery on my T813.
It started to do some odd things, like rebooting even though there was plenty of charge or simply discharging to flat from 100% in a few hours without being used.
I got this from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KSZCDCB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it was a breeze to fit, back cover came of really easily after the initial poke around at one of the top corners (camera end)
No screws to undo, no adhesive, once that corner popped up (using the knife seen in pic 1) it was very easy

undo the connector cable, undo the 4 screws, remove
replacement is the reverse, and pop the case back on
Holds charge better, doesn't run out while using and as yet, no random reboots
In 2023 is it possible to buy brand new battery for SM T813?
