Last night, after I flashed the newest Mary ROM, it turned off suddenly and would not turn back on. I heard something rattling around in there so I took off the battery cover and removed the battery. Didn't see anything, so I took out the stylus to see if it was making the noise. When I shook the phone (gently), a very very very tiny screw flew out of the phone.
The phone now will randomly turn itself off.
I have no idea where this screw goes. I think I have to take the phone apart to look.
Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know how the screw could've come loose?
when i took my niki apart to line up the case better (HTC Build is [email protected]!) two screws that hold the slider on were loose!!! in fact weren't even tightened up, which is odd, as all the others had some kinda blue glue holding them in. :/
so yes, mine were loose

oh wow. were those two loose screws very very very tiny? the one that fell out of mine were smaller than screws that you use to hold glasses together.

the one that fell out of my niki is 1/2 or 1/3 the size of that one. sooo small!
did you work it out? i took apart my nike to rebuid it a bit better, the back was creaking after last time i took it apart..
the screw could have come from a bunch of places, i noticed a small screw holding the mainboard in and one holding the small pcb at the top with the speaker etc.. its probably one of them. i'd screw it back in asap though.
good luck.

No. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to go buy a kit that I can use with those itty bitty screws. I hope to do it soon. Will report back to let you know where that little bugger came from.
Hey there...no available guide yet..?
what size tools are you guys using?
I sent my husband to the store to get tools so I can put this cursed screw back in my phone but the kit he got was too big! What kind of tools are you guys using to take your phones apart?? Where might I get some??
im not sure where you can get them - most likely any hardware store, online, ebay. there are 2 types of screws in the nike.. you'll need a torx screwdriver (a t6 should do it) to get it open, and a real small philips (not sure about size.. just real small lol) for a couple of screws inside..

I'm pretty sure the one we tried was a t6. I'll have to verify.

I know this is slighty offtopic and i apologise. However, after you tightened your case up did it eliminate all the 'wobble' when the device was closed?

It is just me or does the battery cover really not clip on very well at all?
Mine is constantly falling off and is not easy to clip back on solidly
Yeah i heard of this problem. The guy in the shop where i bought my phone told me that this is a problem of the first build devices of the X1. i was lucky, because i got one of the "secound generation".
maybe you are able to change it?
Sweet, if its not happening for everyone I will demand a replacement
how can you see which generation device you have ?
Kr
i don't know where you can see this exactly. If you'r battery cover fits on you'r phone everything seems alright.
mine is letting loose of it's clips too on one side of the X1. It's really annoying cauze I have to push it back into the right position every time. But it's not falling off or so. It's just not tight on the phone.
I had this problem, but it's easily fixed... if you take the cover off the back and find the two metal prongs which would touch the cover when placed over it (the sony ericsson symbol side). simply press them down slightly. i think they're there for a reason so make sure they still touch the cover. hope this helps.

Same here. I just took the back panel off and gave it a first squeeze, now fits pretty well.
Wish I had thought to do you method though, would have been neater as the back does bulge a little now but doesn't fall off anymore. Sadly I hadn't spotted that the clips were addons rather than moulded into the metal.
I must say that I'm not too confident about the batterycover at this moment. It still hangs on, but not too well. On my X1 it tends to jump off automaticly when I put the cover on, luckily it hasn't happened yet though. Seems there's some tension pushing the cover out.
had the same problem. i fixed it by expanding the little two bumps on the site, which hold the cover with a knife.
Anyone had problems with the battery cover? I took mine off when I first got it and when I tried to put it back, it only clipped into 3 corners, 1 was loose and slide on and off so was never flush.
I've sent it back to Mobilephonesdirect for them to "assess" and see if a replacement is needed. Bloody hope so, its faulty!
Nope, no problems here although i had to open & close the cover several times to reset the device.
Other than finding it the worst battery cover design ever made by HTC, no. I did notice that when putting it back on you put the right side in first and then snap it all down evenly, that it left one corner up and it simply needed a gentle push and it all went flush.
I am concerned about the long term use of the cover, it is difficult to get on and off at best and certainly not designed for ease of use.
The cover is metal but the phone it snaps onto is plastic....and the plastic contact points will wear, that's if the metal battery cover itself doesn't relax its shape a little and get less tight. It seems a bad solution to me but HTC aren't alone in this, I see that battery covers are becoming cheaper and nastier across all brands. At least the HTC cover is metal. I try not to remove my cover...ever.
Yeah, it's a little tight for my liking, if you swap out the sim or memory card a lot it could cause problems. Second battery too.
Hopefully the back case will be available to buy somewhere. It must cost pennies to make.

Yeah, but they'll probably be available on eBay for about £25, despite that.
I thought I was doing something wrong when I could not budge mine.
On a new phone it takes quite a bit of brute force.
battery cover
Yep, mine stays up on one corner too. Just a little nudge and its back on flush!
Technique is King
Everything requires a technique, then it becomes easy!.
Really all one needs to do is slide your thumbnail under the cover's edge; from one end to the other till there is a millimeter gap, then voila! simply pull off!
If you try to pull it off using the indented 'tab' then good luck to you, Frustration Guaranteed!

Unforyunately my phone already got stuck a couple of times and the only way to bring it to live again was removing the cover and soft reset or remove the battery.
A shame that the reset button is not reachable from the outside. It might be easy to make a small hole in the cover right above the reset button.

I had the same problem with the cover on mine. I found that I must have slightly bent the cover when i first removed it, when i bent it back (to make the fit a bit tighter) it never happend after that.

Some of the covers are a bit loose. Thank goodness the shop I bought it from, replaced mine for me.
Hey All,
The other night my phone back glass panel shattered while inside my pocket. I'm not sure when/how it happened. Now, I have a solid red light when charging and the phone will not turn on. I've tried various combinations of holding power + volume down, but to no avail.
I've got a ton of pictures and some saved games data I'm trying to get off the phone. Is there any way to do this?
Also, I called google and they are sending me a new one, but I didn't mention the broken glass. Do you think this will be an issue? I've also had it rooted for about 1 month now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You will need to open the back cover and unscrew the two screw pins that are holding the battery. Flip the plate over and put it back in and screw them back together. You will need a T5 torque screwdriver and small philip screwdriver. The phone should power on now.

I don't see any reason why they shouldn't charge you for the second phone: the screen on the first shattered - mechanical damage, it has been opened - this is not allowed. All these will leave you without warranty.

Oh I did. The lady said broken glass voided the warranty. So I hung up and called back and just didn't mention it.
I don't get it, whats the warranty good for if shattered glass voids the warranty?...
the whole phone is practically a glass statue.

Exactly. The glass breaking randomly should be covered by the warranty, since it's the damn problem. They even updated the design to include nubs on the bottom of newer models to prevent the glass from touching any surfaces 100% flat.
I had to order some plastic tools to open the case. They should come tomorrow. The new phone hasn't came either, ordered Friday night.

it may be a manufacturers defect, but the fact the device is going to be tampered with, and opened up; at least from a business standpoint, they shouldnt have to replace it. i hope it all works out for you, but on their end, giving you the refund/replacement would be questionable business practice. they lose money from it but gain customer satisfaction... tough call lol.
Update:
My pry tools came into today and I was able to remove the back. I then removed 1 battery screw and I cannot remove the second one. It is so ridiculously tight that it started to strip the screw. I switched to a flat head that fit exactly and the screw bent the flat head. (cheap metal i guess)
So my plan now is to go to the hardware store and get a brand name 1.0 precision flat head which will hopefully work. If that doesn't work I think I have a small enough drill head to drill the screw out.
One problem after another... this phone is really pissing me off.
Hey Guys i recently dropped my device into some water, no biggie device still worked and everything, but it was an excuse to get a device with slightly better Bin, so i filed a insurance replacement. So i figured i had already screwed it up, why not take it apart before sending it back.....
As with probably everyone we have all seen the IFIXIT tear-down of our device and they had some issues taking it apart, and even damaging the plastic bezel on the housing. So i was intimidated, but i wanted to see if it really was that hard.....
Guys its NOT HARD AT ALL....The hardest part is the plastic on the sides is actually pretty soft, but the only damage i had was before i heated the device up i tried trying to pry the speaker cover off with just a screwdriver (bad idea). This gave me some very very slight damage where i was prying against the plastic. With the heat and then pry this wont happen. (the adhesive is ridiculous by the way, some very strong stuff (I blame 3M)
Step 1: Heat up device with a hairdryer at the bottom speaker cover, your going to need to get it pretty hot (be careful, your speaker is under that)
Step 2: With device still nice and toasty take a spreader ( i used a guitar pick, but i was thinking a hot razor blade slid under might be more effective)
Step 3: Gently work spreader under speaker cover and work from one end to the other, I used a razor blade to get a gab and then work it off, wasn't to hard since the adhesive is warm and easy to peel off the cover. (be careful, you still have to use that adhesive to put it back on, or use another adhesive)
Step 4: Once bottom speaker cover is off take your spreader and place it between the black part of the housing and the silver part (essentially the phone is placed in a aluminum shell, and you need to get it out).
Step 5: With Spreader placed between the chases gently slide from one end to the other, on the right side by the speaker cover is a white tab, slowly leverage this tab separating the black housing from the silver housing, then pry up from one side to the other tell you get a decent gap.
Step 6: Take your separator and go a side of your phone, doesn't matter which one is done first, just like the previous step, place your spreader between the black housing from the silver, and gently slide from the bottom up, if your doing it right you will hear 3 clicks and that side is separated.
Step 7: Take your spreader and repeat Step 6 on the other side until you hear three clicks.
Step 8: Take spreader back to the bottom and gently pry up pulling the black housing out of the silver Back housing, while doing this you may need another spreader to pry the bottom and then go around the sides to make sure it comes out freely.
Man, excellent photos showing us the goods. What i wanna know is that the heck causes the power button to sink in the way it does. Seems hit and miss with these. Some people get very responsive power buttons, others get mushy clicky feels. Weird.
I couldnt do that to my phone. Were you able to put it back together and have it still look good and function as before?

If you have a gap, there is no need to take the phone apart.
Just get some super glue in there and clamp tight.
And here are the OEM replacement parts if you screw up
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-housing.html
I was wondering. Is it possible to ONLY touch the body (ie the housing + speaker grills) and replace them? There are a lot of people who scratched their ones and may want to replace the outside.

In the picture, it seems you have thoroughly torn down the entire phone.
Some people may wish to simply change the speaker grills or the rear case (metal + plastic sides). On a scale of 1-10, how hard would that be?
I replaced my screen today and had to pull out the old front flash and the speaker grill since the replacement didn't have those.
I figured the grills would snap right in, but these definitely don't. I'm sure i can find a way to get them in there, but before i did anything somewhat drastic, was curious if anyone here has had luck getting them back in with simple snap (after the whole phone is reassembled), or if i need to go down another path.

Thanks for the replies. The ifixit video doesn't seem to address the grills. What I'm actually talking about is the colored bars that sit on the speaker openings (that we can customize via motomaker). The replacement screen I bought didn't come with those (just a grill opening with two small rectangle holes in them). So, on my old screen, I was able to pop out those grill/bars. They are straight plastic bars with two tabs on them. The tabs look like they should pop right in those two holes on the replacement grill opening, but they definitely don't go in with a simple snap. I've tried pushing pretty hard to get them in, but am nervous about breaking the plastic, or worse, hurting the new screen. So, for now, they are left out- which is ok - but if i'm just doing something dumb or missing some trick, I'd definitely prefer to have them in there.

After- I didn't expect it to be a problem, so i closed everything up and resealed the backing and everything. Then ran into the issue.
If someone happened to know that for some reason, they will snap in if the LCD is out, then i'd probably open things up again at some point. But that doesn't seem likely, so I'm not going to do all of that just on the odd chance it makes a difference.

Hi, my moto X is on its way, and I fix cellphones for a living. On the Nexus 6 the grills snap in and are very difficult about it. What I do is take the grill, lign it up to the opening and then fold a micro fiber cloth or something similar, and take a curved pair of pliers and compress the grill in. I typically do this before replacing the frame assebly. I've not done a pure yet, hopefully I don't ever have to

What I do is take the grill, lign it up to the opening and then fold a micro fiber cloth or something similar, and take a curved pair of pliers and compress the grill in. I typically do this before replacing the frame assebly. I've not done a pure yet, hopefully I don't ever have to

My bottom one wiggles at lot. Basically every time I use the phone the first thing i do is center it. Have you had any such experience? Should I attempt to take it off and reinsert them?
Also my top one was pretty sturdy first 3 months. Now its also moving and also rumbles/rattles a little with the music playing at full volume. If i press it down while the musics playing the rattling goes away (though i have to hold it precisely in place)

Hey glad to help, those are a pain to open over and over again haha. Nothing like getting them together and totally forgetting the speaker grills haha.

You could try removing them and swapping them, or you could try pressing them in further with a pair of pliers as I detailed above, or possibly they're just loose, and a small dot of super glue could do the trick. Be careful taking them out, they're easily marred. Maybe provide us a picture of how they look and we can determine if they're just loose.

Do you mean the metal bar? It has barbed points that press into the matching slots. It's a one-time mating that tears open the slots when they're removed. They tend to fall out of Moto/Leno's refurbished phones and the same may happen for a salvaged screen. You can stir some Crazy Glue in the slots with a tiny steel wire until it starts to gel, then press the bar in.
