Nope, it is not in the manual.....
I need the quick start guide.
Anyone?
Is it so obvious, thats why it is not in the manual? Isn't that the SIM card socket there?! under the battery?

Yes, But how can this thing be opened? So that I can reach the batery?
slide the back cover up.
His next post may be, "I know, but which direction is up? And, how much force should I put onto it to avoid breaking it.". You need a PhD degree to open this phone.

1. Remove the stylus
2. Put the device in your left hand.
3. Buttons in your handpalm
4. Your finger must be aroud the top of the device
5. Place your right hand on the back of the device
6. Move your right hand upwards.
It requires some force.
I had a hard time opening it up too....didn't want to break my shiny new device And yes....it IS in the manual (the quickstart guide that is).
But i can understand people are sometimes too carefull
Chill out or go read some other thread.

No-one's forcing you to reply to his questions... If we all acted like that, no-one would want to come here and ask anything anymore.
Take a hike or something limey. Jeez.
I think it was the phrasing of the question....
Once you have mastered the cover it's obvious that the sim slots into the sim shaped hole under the battery.
The cover is a bugger though - it's pretty flimsy plastic so you don't want to risk cracking it open. The retailer I bought mine from mentioned something about "it helps to lift the cover when removing it" - so a few others must have had this prob. I just shrugged it off thinking "it's a battery cover ffs - how hard can it be" - and found myself cursing the damn thing as soon as I got home.
Funniest post subject I've seen for a long while nevertherless - so thanks for that
Well, I'm grateful to Hellejoep for asking the question. And very much indebted to Delft for explaining in steps how to open it (dank je wel, hè!).
I dropped my Fairphone, and found this one in a drawer. Probably got it from some-one, way back when. Been trying to open it, no clue. Today - finally time for an online search - I looked for an hour to solve this puzzle. It's not in the manual, can't find the quick start guide. And there you were, discussing it some ten years ago )
Nice..
Greetings, Nadja

Hi There,
Im in the process of changing the LCD screen on my jam, and during the removal of the housing, a little black thing fell out. I have no idea what it is and where it needs to go.
I have attached a photo of it hoping someone knows what it is and where it needs to go.
Thanks.
Does it look like something that broke off? Eg. With sharp egdes. If thats the case, chances that you won't be able to fix it back in.
Anyway, it looks too small to be an individual 'component'.
I thought it was normal to end up with more bits when you put something back together.... :$
No, Its a whole part, nothing broke while I was dismantling it. It looks like it's used with a switch or something. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it in the "Jam Housing" thread. I was really careful when opening the unit, and it fell out easily when I tipped the unit over.
Damn, looks like ill be ordering new housing too
I think it should go somewhere near the sliding volume control..
fixator
it looks like fixation of stilus inside the set in the place of stilus`s recess ,but my mda compact has it white color
Hello, that piece both covers holes that there are near the Sd card. I think that the function is that not between the dust in the machine, by the holes where the cord puts to hang. Moan my badly English, is a translation of google. Greetings
It covers these holes. Greetings
I also had the same problem when I opened my magician. From my experience, that part could be the hinge/lock that holds down the screen on one of it's side.
I could be wrong though.
Got it!!!!!!!

Dokoto, YOU GOT IT!!! Thanks heaps, now I can put it back together without worrying.
I'm surprised this isnt a common problem, it falls out so easily. Maybe once everything is back in place, something will hold it in.
Anyway, I've attached a pic to show everyone where it lives, incase someone else has the same problem.
Thanks again Dokoto!!
Hi,
just another question by a lam3 user
After some day using my tytn, i noticed that the keyboard is very loose, just after locking it under the lcd.
to explain better: video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj56htWOHEk
as you see, the keyboard is very loose just after locking it.
My device id is 640, so it is affected by some keyboard sliding problems(is a v1605)...but my question is: There is something i can do to fix this?
i tried to tighten the screws i signed here
but without significative improvement.
this is a minor issue,i think, but if i can fix it my tytn will go better in my huge hands
however, no problem if the fixing procedure involves to remove the warranty sticker up the screw, the tytn is on italy and i do not think that vodafone uk will change it
many many thanks
gtazok
The screws you've tightened are just for the housing. To make the keyboard tighter, you need to take the device apart
These 2 links explain everything you need:

http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=9119842&postcount=1
Good luck!
underneath your main board is 4 screws tighten those and you should be set. If not you may need to by a new housing. I hope the tighten helps though.
omg, this will really need to open all the device!
damn, there is no other way?
I couldn't really tell from your video if it is the standard loose keyboard problem you've got, but my keyboard was loose in the way that when closed it could 'fall' open pretty easily.
I used the guides above, and while it does invalidate your warranty (unless you're able to remove the warranty sticker without breaking it), it is very easy to do and put back together.
my problem is, as shown on video:
when i try to press the power button, i apply some force to my forefinger to tighten the grabbing around the phone.
when i apply this force, the upper part of the phone(the part where is the buttons of mail and iexplore) slide off the housing, and go for about 2 mm (as shown in the video).
i will like to tightnen this, to do that the phone will never slide the keyb without apply *Decent* pressure.
the keyboard,however, stay solid when fully opened, and *decent* pressure is needed to restore it from the full opening to housing closed.
was i *almost* clear? i'm very sorry but i understand that my english is a mess and really confusing, but if someone could guide me, i can do photo, pictures and so on.
thanks
gtazok
Yep, that sounds exactly the same as my problem!
The 2 links above should help, as long as you're happy to take the phone apart. If you are willing, it is pretty easy to do, but will invalidate your warranty if you still have one.
A couple of taps on the indents on the sliders with a screwdriver will make the sliders much tighter, and you can test the tightness before putting it back together.
I went a bit overboard with mine and overtightened it, but now I prefer it that way -there's no way the keyboard will slide out without some effort

great, that was exactly was i searched so!
but..a couple of taps...i have noticed that the indents are "stamped", there is the possibility i will break it with too much force?
and, for opening the tytn, where i can find all the needed in one pack? i live in italy, but i have no idea of what screwdriver and things must(and where)buy.
maybe there is some omnicomprensive pack that could be shipped to italy without problem.
many thanks, i appreciate much
Gtazok
The metal is quite soft in the sliders so it is possible to hit it too hard, but I don't think you're likely to do that if you start softly and keep testing the slider tightness until it's right.
The only 'special' screws are the ones holding the case in, but they can be opened pretty easily with a small flat screwdriver. From what I can remember, the screws inside the phone are just small normal screws.

Okay If you do tighten those screws it will help that. I've seen them to be soo bad that if you tilt the device it slides open. Soo basically if you still under warranty send it to your provider other wise follow this guide.

This will guide you through the entire process of taking apart your Hermes. Good luck if you have any questions.

HI!!
just managed to re-close my hermes (first time i closed it without inserting the last cable LOL...i forgot it, but before powering off he comed to my mind..omg what i have risked not plugging last cable before closing??)
however, i did manage do disassembly only with a standard little screwdriver, not without problems
i just arrived to disassemble the keyb, and get rid on the rails.
I must admit that i NEVER have seen so much dust in a phone(i think mine was re-assembled from another).
i have extracted the rails, the 2, and tried to gentle tapping the indents.No way to go, i tapped *gently*(sometimes a little hard) but i really noticed no improvement
so,i thinked:
"if i change the rails, i will have a perfectly mirrored situation, with the keyboard closed it will be ok, with keyb opened it will be a little loose"
(remember, the keyb was loose when try to open it, not when to close)
So i changed the rails, switching them...
and now it's really better, the phone rarely go off his housing, closed, and go down a little more easily(but is acceptable, because i never do any "forcing" when it's open..)
maybe, with time, the opening will become a problem, with the keyb sliding to close when it's open.
However, maybe this not occour.So for now i'm happy
last thing. I noticed that on the page where the man tried to adjust the rails, he suggested
1)to tap the indents( tried, work very very little)
2)to insert pieces of ribbon
i not tried the second suggestion, because i have not understand WHERE to insert those pieces.Maybe he was suggesting to insert them at the end of the rails? where the carts block? if it is, why? i tried to pull up the small piece of "sheet"(i don't know if it's the correct term, sorry for my bad english ) on the border of the cart where it don't block, but whitout results..so inserting ribbon what improvement would have done?
thanks for the patience to read all my messed up english and many thanks

I think you just need to increase those indents a bit more than you did. It is more successful to tap the indents using a small flat blade screwdriver and a small hammer. (Go easy of course and keep testing as you tap. You want a very firm click into place. You should hear the click and it should be really quite hard to move the slider over the indents using your finger tips)
The tapping technique is probably better than just pressing a screwdriver blade onto the indent. Pressing rather than tapping is likely to simply bend the entire metal strip and curve it slightly. This might improve the grip for a while but as the curve gradually straightens out again the slider will just become loose again. Using the tapping method I did mine well over a year ago and I have never had to redo it and it takes a very firm push an audibl clicks to open the device.
(Buying new sliders will not solve your problem. The vast majority, it seems to me were made withy too shallow indents. It may be worth buying new ones if the micro welds have sprung apart however)

hi
i dismantled my hermes one more time. This time i put out an hammer(a big hammer,indeed)so i "gently" hammered with a flat screwdriver the indents.
result? the keyb is now "really locked" when i open it..but the opening problem remain.
when i try to open it when it is closed, with my finger, i notice that the slipping of the upper left part(seeing the phone from the front) is EVER too loose, i reopened 2 times and tapped "not so gently" the incriminated indent, but i noticed no result. i also tried to exchange the sliders (the lower with the higher) but no improvement was done.
i think that is a defective implementation, because the "centre of pressure" is located in the upper part of the phone, so the phone is like to open more easily when it is closed. Did anyone noticed that?
however, the overall is increased, i think, about 30-40% more tighten as before, and that is no bad.
shame it has no solved my problem, but life it so bad that i can will be live happy with a little loose tytn
thanks
Gtazok
I agree that my the upper left keyboard slider has always been looser than the bottom...
good, that confirm my idea.
let us know if any other noticed the same thing.
thanks

really annoyed last night, stood up and as i did my wizard decided to eject itself from my pocket somehow and fall to the floor, as it did the stylus and sd card fell out...
tried to put the sd back in and it doesnt click in any more, have had a fiddle with some tweasers and cant see anything in there that looked like it snapped and there is a latch on one side that goes up and down but cant click it manually. Anyone else done this? is it terminal?
ive resorted to a big blob of blue-tak on the top of my phone to try and hold it in but its only about 75% effective.
Any help would be great
This problem and solution has been discussed and posted hundreds of times,just read or there's a tab at the top of every Forum 'Search',just use it,you'll prolly get many answers.
There was no need to start a new thread.
i should have expected such a response.
I DID SEARCH!
As you are such a fan of the search feature then im sure you'll know that if you search for anything more than one word it will bring up about 2000 posts related or not.
I'll go look through them all now.....
Simple answer ! if the holding latch is broken or come loose,it won't stay in,just wrape a little layer of adhesive tape around sdcard,but make sure connectors are not coverd and insert it,there's no other solution for it,less you replace the body or get it repaired,ok
Regarding me being a fan of search,thats why its put up there for !!! every senior member will advise it and we all use it.
thankyou that has worked.
i couldnt agree more, but the search doesnt always work and generic words liek sd card will bring up 1000s of useless posts
Thanz !
You are most welcome.
Ok, this cover is going to drive me crazy.
I want to remove it (cut it off), but don't want some junk floating around in the phone.
Is there a way to do that other than cutting it off, and can it be replaced, if I get rid of the phone and someone else wants it?
Didn't see this discussed in any other topics, so I figured I'd ask...
Thx!

There are usually dismantling procedures on the WiKi, if not, you could probably refer to one of the many screen replacement threads (just search) to see how to open the case.
I've seen screen replacement threads for the TD2 not the ATT Pure. Little different case.
I did read through the wiki prior to posting.
Perhaps someone can point me to another resource.
I gave up and just started pulling on it.
There is a little nub on the end that will come through the case without breaking anything. It will be possible to re-insert this into the phone in the future.
Hopefully this will help someone else that thinks they have to cut it off as stated at a variety of accessory stores...
I did the same. I figure you could probably put a little oil on it and use a paperclip or wire to push it back in if you wanted to.

Would you be kind enough to snap a picture of that cover? I am thinking of remove it also but want to see how it come out.
Thanks,
Sure, give me a couple mins
Here it is
Nice, thank you.
does any have any idea to remove HD Mini's battery.
I tried the way which HTC provided but it's really hard to remove.
i just found a easy way to remove it and guys if you have any better idea please kind share it.
Here is what i found the way to remove cover:
1. Hold the device on hand and
2. slightly press/push the uppper screw (either left or right side )and you will find how easy it is to remove battery from device.
Hahhhhhh....you're a savior...
Thx so much for the tip, it saved me from a painful experience every time I try to open the cover...
Cool
Wonderful method!!!
I just slide my nail along the shut line between the cover and the chrome part and it opens itself, easy and smooth

Yeah! Same here. That's the way I always do.
Pushing the designer-screws or the back-speaker are the best way to open the cover without risk of scratching. Thanks for suggesting these methods.
Haha,thanx man...This is not metod recomanded by HTC manual..With HTC instructions i try to open...damn..more than 10 minutes This one is great and easy,thanx dud...
Pushing the speaker works well for me !
I have a good suggestion;
Stand with your feet about 50cm's apart, hold the phone upside down in your right hand, extended arm. Make sure that the surface you stand on is firm, i.e. like concrete or hard wood. Release your grip untill gravity takes over.
Presto, your phone cover is now not only opened, but also you can retrieve the battery easily from the ground.
If you are lucky, the SIM and SDHC card also pop out!
