Battery Cover

I know this belongs in accessories but I believe the more people will see it here.
Click here if you want to buy a battery door.

The point of forum separation is to keep things organized. It doesn't matter if more people will see it here, it's the wrong section.

Thanks, that could be a very useful site!

Lol "OEM"

Moved to accessories.

darn they're out of stock. Was thinking of picking up 1 for myself since I scratched mine.

I can't wait for them to come back in stock. Great find.

You sir are the man.
That **** scratches so easily.

thank you for that! now i can save on the back case and just buy a new cover
maybe one of the only pros for Samsung making such a cheap door. :\

I actually got three before they were out of stock an sold two an kept one. These things scratch so dam easy its almost not even worth gettin a replacement cover cause itll be scratched as well in no time. I even put a zagg on the back as soon as i got it an when i took it off to put a bestskinsever on it still had some fine scratches on it an i baby the **** out of this phone, so the only reason i can see spendin more money on a replacement is if i cracked the cover or something

I will buy some once they are in stock.

I will be ordering too once it's back in stock. Already have 2 fine scratches on the back after keeping the "stock" clear plastic cover packaging thingy for over 3 weeks. The scratches came from me wiping the back from the oil in my skin with a lens cleaner. UGH.
But curious, the battery cover has that antenna. I wonder if this OEM cover will have it, my guess it won't. And if it doesn't, I suppose we have to remove the antenna from the old cover?

They have they antenna in them

Yeah, seriously why would these not have them. They're OEM.

I want one. Since people have 3... Be sure to list an extra on ebay for those of us that can't get the stock I'd also like a new bezel... Lol. It has some slight imperfection 'mini' chips but I guess I could try sanding it? Lol

I would assume so as well. But I have bought OEM parts (for the G1) and when they specify back case, it's just the back case. No cushioning foam or whatever that was attached to the one that came with my phone.
But I just checked the additional pictures and it does show the NFC antenna. Good thing. Just hope they actually ship as that.

Anderdroid, I believe the thread is for the back (battery) cover and not the fascia (bezel). I checked the site and there is no listing for what you're looking for.

Oh yeah I know it's about the battery cover. I need one of those too.

I thought Samsung would have done something similar like they did with the Galaxy S give a spare one with maybe a different colour, or just a spare, I honestly don't know where you could buy these from Google themselves, because this is very much vital to the NFC feature to work, if you break it then you NEED a new one, and one from China might not work the same. These might be OEMs, but it's better than nothing.

Good News : Nexus S OEM Back Battery Cover
Hello folks,
I know we have all been wanting to protect our Nexus S, especially the back battery cover.
I have been searching...and finally found this one site that was selling, but they were out of stock for some time. Recently they changed the status to be available sooner or later than Feb 14th 2011.
This is great news, and thought i will share it with you guyz.

[Q] Lost cover for USB port - need replacement - where to buy?

Hi there,
the cover for the USB port of my HTC Dream /T-Mobile G1 became loose. The little plastic cable that holds it to the phone ripped but I still had it - I planned to glue the cover back to that plastic cable thing.
Unfortunately I lost that cover now. I was searching the web (including ebay) for replacement but even if I bought a complete housing they'd come without that little plastic cable holding the USB cover.
Does anybody know where to get replacement? By the way I would like to know where to get good (high quality) tools for opening the housing without breaking it.
I appreciate your help.

You would probably have to buy a broken phone and hope that the cover is still intact. While I managed to maintain that cover on mine, I did find it highly frustrating. Many people actually PREFERRED to rip it off. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to replace it, since that cover really is quite redundant. You won't hurt anything by not having it.

Yes, you're right somehow, it is redundant. It looks a little ugly, though. Maybe someone can still point a way to that cover

2 bricked G1's for sale on ebay for parts:

Thank's for the ebay link. I am already bidding on some broken phones on ebay.de. though. I though was hoping to find that cover as a sparepart somewhere.

[Q] Rubber usb cover gone!

I hav e lost the cover for the usb port.
Can I buy a new cover somewhere or do I have to,like Samsung Support said, get a new phone?
I work outside in rainy Norway and therefore need a phone that is sealed. Right know my S4A is not waterproof,and not suitable for joining me all day
Thanks..

It's not actually water proof anyway, merely water resistant. IN any case, that thing breaks and falls off pretty easily.
If you lost yours, I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474114
in which this link has something which might work for you http://www.topicovers.com/products/micro-usb-port-cover
Thanks to Forum member Devo7v

Check out this thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509146
He says the flap is just for dust protection and that he continues to use it around water without it. I'd personally want some extra confirmation on that myself, but I could see how it would be the case. Mind you, even if water doesn't enter the phone the USB pins will probably be shorted. Not sure if that's safe or not...

Replace broken Headphone-Jack Cover

Hello!
True story: while listening to music through my headphones I was looking at the headphonejack cover (which makes it waterproof) and wondering that it is, compared to my old Moto Defy, quite fragile.
2 seconds later I drop the freaking thing and it hits right the ground right on the cover and it breaks in half...
Anyways I have found spare parts here:
http://stellatech.com/sony-lt25i-xperia-v-audio-stecker-cover-(schwarz),a,de,814797.html
I come from germany, so this would be no problem, however I wonder how do i insert the retaining mechanism without opening the xperia? I dont want to void the warranty completely!
And yes, the cover is important to me, I need it to be waterproof!
Thanks for your advice and experience!

I just want to thank you for the link. My USB cover is broken after 4 months only. Seems on the long run a shocking expensive OEM dock is cheaper than replacing these.

you are welcome.
I think the USB-Cover will be next...especially since I need to charge it quite often. With my DEFY the covers held the whole 3 years of intense usage...
OT: which dockingstation do you use for the V!? the only one i can find with different plugs than the micro USB is for the Z!?

Sony DK25. Look on Ebay. Haven't bought it yet. The price is so scary.
I am using a Chinese type that is meant for the Z, modded, but this is not good I don't recommend it.

well...I think a dock is very impractical anyways. i think this is a perfect time for building something ourselves. Isnt it just a 2 pole magnet plug, to 5V usb!?
Are there any technical specifications avaiable? I would find a plug much more practical than a docking station!

If I have the part there are plenty small handphone workshops here who can do that for a few $. Sorry I also don't know what you want to know.
With a smart design it would be just squeezing the part into some hole for self installation, and Sony would sell these caps in packs of 3 for $ 9.95.

Try looking in this thread. I don't know if they give links where to buy a new cover, but this would be the best place to ask.

I got a new one through the AliExpress app. Cost me less than $1 with free shipping. It took about 3 weeks to South Africa, but it got delivered today at my house. I have also just installed it without any issues. Search for "Dust Plug Cover for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active i9295" in the app.
