I just got the 2150 htc battery and back and i notice a pretty annoying squeak on the right side. anyone had this problem and/or have a solution?
Now since you mention it, I did notice part of it not closing all the way- but no actual squeak. I mean, it is snug on there but there's a little part near the middle on one side that just isn't flat against the phone.
I have a case over on top of it so it's not an issue for me, I guess that could be a solution but only if you want a case to go with your phone.
Hi
I discovered today that my 18 month old Razr I is starting to have a bulging battery. I can see a slight bulge if I look closely on the back side.
I believe the phone was once lying flat on a table, now the Kevlar is touching the table.
Do you also have that?
The battery seems to be otherwise still ok.

Change the battery if it's growing. Seriously it it's starts growing it can be twice fatter after few months.
Hi everyone.
I got my mint Droid 4 from ebay a couple of days ago, and I found out that the only thing wrong with it is that the lower corner where the speaker grill is on the battery cover won't stay down when it's slid into the phone. It's as if the plastic that holds onto the tab on the battery cover is broken.
not the battery cover "leg" itself, but something inside the phone seems to not get a good "grip" on the piece coming off the battery cover.
is this common, and no way to fix easily?
AHHH! nevermind, found out that it's actually the leg that is rising up off the battery cover. seems like it's about to fall off. time for some super glue to hold it down!
Often you have to look there you recently have made corrections
Hello all!
I've been very pleased with my new Nexus so far, but yesterday I noticed the back cover was loose and and had a bit of a gap near the volume buttons. Some quick googling informed me this was a known issue, and is easily RMA'd. I have also discovered there are some very nice skins from Slickwraps and from Toast which can be used in place of the back cover. I find these to be very beautiful, and will most likely use one. Knowing this, is there any useful reason to send my phone in to be replaced? Has anyone discovered a flawed battery causing the cover to lift? If so, was it obvious before removing the cover?
I would be afraid that if I didn't get the phone replaced, it would leak if you ever got around water. I think I would send it back because if you ever decide to sell it you won't get much for a phone that doesn't have a tight fitting backup cover.

Those are both good points, but they are somewhat nullified by my plans. I'm going to be removing the back cover to use an aftermarket back. I will, of course, be fully responsible for protecting it from water, and for the damage if I don't. I tend to treat any device, water resistant or not, as if it were the Wicked Witch of the West and will melt upon contact with a drop of water. I also don't sell my old phones. They are way to useful to keep around for projects and such. I still have a couple of Blackberry Storms acting as desk clocks and a Galaxy Nexus doing tattle-tail duty for my home alarm system.
Basically what I'm looking for is any indication as to an actual malfunction being the cause of the back coming unstuck. As it stands, the loose back is a head start on getting it off for an aftermarket.
I say go for it as long as the new back cover fits tight. I am a snob about having a perfect phone.

Most the skins cover the back cover so need an intact backcover or have the same problem. Will see when remove back cover if it is battery related but then most likely can't RMA as you opened the device. It a catch 22 situation.

I'm looking at the wooden covers. They're a bit thicker then the vinyl skins, and can sit flush with the frame when used without the back. They're rigid enough to do the job, though not advertised as backs, folk are reporting having success.
I am tempted to open it up and have a peek at the battery, but doing so would definitely void the warranty. That's why I was looking for any examples where a battery actually has gone bad. Though, it looks like the battery is pretty simple to replace anyway...

Usually swells up in the middle and starts raising the back at the mid points.

Does it feel swollen? Can you tell by eye? The only ones I've witnessed having a dying battery had removable battery covers, like the Storm and the old Razr flip phones. My cover is only loose on one edge, and feels very firmly stuck the rest of the way around. The phone itself is functioning beautifully, not at all like the few I've seen the the grow-a-battery of death. They usually sputtered and gave up until I replaced the battery.

If it's the battery will do the same. Will start acting up and then die. There is a thread somewhere in General I think with pics of expanding battery. Some just the backs come unglued. It is definitely a RMA situation anyway.
My phone suddenly had some sweet smelling liquid behind its case.
It has also been slightly bent, but this may have been because my otterbox phonecase started to warp when i removed the little lip at the charging port, because it was putting my charger at a wierd angle.
I'm worried that the sweet smelling fluid behind the case might be from the battery, because it was not near the camera hole of the case, but near the springs between the backplate and the frame of the phone
The phone still works fine and i have not noticed any worse battery life.
I've already been at the retailer who just told me to keep using the phone as normal and i have been, except i've removed the warped case.
So my question is, should worry about this?
You should kinda worry about this, Even tho i know nothing about this it might be something in your phone.
