Heh - old problem mate, and you'll kick yourself once you do it.
Hold the phone, face down, with the top facing you. On the right hand side (not the side with the volume buttons) there is a groove. Stick your nail in there and pull it up, and it just pops off.
It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's a lot easier than trying to pop it off from the volume side

I see the groove, Ive watched probably all the HD2 unboxing videos on the web. The cover is on tight..
The count is 5 nails chipped now.
With my left hand I am holding down the top and the bottom of the phone and with my right hand I am trying to pry the groove up, I flipped the phone so many times....
I can't believe I'm crying over a phone.

Yeah, that's a bit too far mate. Don't cry
It's just one of those things that once you get it, you'll really REALLY regret asking for help doing it in here.
If you hold the top and bottom with your right hand, with the screen facing the palm of your right hand, and the volume buttons underneath, you should have the groove at the top.
Put your left hand fingers under the phone (near the volume buttons) and put your thumbnail in the groove. Press your thumb down and left.
It really is easy, so you must be doing something wrong if that doesn't work.
Good luck!

This is a joke right ? Do you have jelly for hands?
I am a woman, that nick is just a combination of my names.. (my father's surname - not mine - is Blackman, hence the 'man' at the end).
I don't post much but I have been around WinMo for several years...
HP iPAQ h2210 (PDA WM2003) -> Audiovox PPC-4100 (WM2003 phone) -> HP iPAQ h6315 -> HP iPAQ hw6925 -> O2 XDA Atom -> Asus P527 -> now HTC Leo
(Numerous Nokia's/SE/Dual SIMs, etc)
All of them still work (I have all of them), two h6315s and three PPC-4100 (in parts but I can form 1 complete phone).. but I have been really looking forward to this Leo...
I purchased a 4 year warranty PLUS 4 year accidental protection + all the accessories I could find for the HTC Leo (to show my commitment to this phone).
Still no luck with this cover.. I bit off all my nails..
taking a break and will try again later.
Are there any actual video posts removing the back cover (reviewed some LEO unboxing videos but they all skipped that part) ?
Thanks for the assistance.

It does make more sense now that we know you're of the female persuasion. A guy breaking 5 nails on his new phone just sounds a bit... well... you know
Have you tried using something like a small screwdriver or similar? It really does just pop off when you get it right, but long nails ain't the way to go.

Don't underestimate the power of revealing that here
I've had a closer look but I don't think it is wise to use tools to lift the back cover. That will damage you device. Start by asking anyone with stronger nails to open it up for you.

Haha just for comic relief i wanted to start this thread :d
anyone else having huge problems with this phone when being drunk?
I accidently dropped the phone last thursday. I was in a club and my back cover flew off! Haha
I thought about this topic too, but I can't answer this question yet...
With my old D750 I was able to call any contact I wanted - at all time. Actually without dropping the phone or dial a wrong number
I don't know how, but I've managed it
You missed a few options:
"No, its just as hard to use SOBER never mind drunk!"
"Yes, but no harder than any other phone.".

Ah yes, i don't think there is a way to edit the poll though Are these options true for you? I think it's pretty easy when sober but my other phones were much easier when leaning against the wall of a bar and trying to text message with double vision lol
ahhahah when i'm really drunk i can't use my phone but i can't walk on my feet too
Just think, it's a new selling point>

hehe, ever i not drunk now, still have chances to miss click with finger, lol
Well... maybe its better to not call when being drunk, so that you wont call people sleeping innocent at 4/5 in the morning.. i had that on my p990i the next morning i saw that i called 5 numers but that was much like 341426 and that number doesnt exists ..
i wouldnt risk damaging it lol...so i use my old w580i when i go out. But if i were drunk in the house with my x1 i'd probably say it was harder than some other phones simply cause of the touchscreen.
Maybe this is an idea for a new panel, one that is very easy to use when you are drunk and has taxis and kebab shops on speed dial, lol
Nice thread
I find the phone fine on most occasions, but like someone said a while back, never buy this phone for your girlfriend/mother/grandmother (unless they're relatively geeky and have a bit more patience than your average, erm, trying not to dig myself a hole here, but you get what I mean).
It's not the most intuitive phone to use, but when setup properly with a nice GUI it can be easier to use. It's just that with basic WM you have to be quite accurate with the stylus/finger. And as we all know, accuracy goes out of the window when you're drunk...

Thanks for the heads up I'm over there now.

Ok, so I am using the original sleeve that came with the phone, which protect it well enough to my mind.
Some stuff were pissing me off though, like having to take the phone out of it to check for new notifications, or the fact that the sound (notifications/ringtones) was attenuated a lot by it. So much in fact that even at max volume, I missed a couple of calls.
So I did cut a round area where the trackball is located, which allows me to see if I have new notifications without getting the phone out of it.
I also cut it where the speaker output is located. Now I can finally hear my phone ringing, in its sleeve, in my pocket.
Did cut it with normal scissors and burned the edges (to avoid the holes to grow) with a lighter.
It is a dumb trick, but improved a lot my overall experience, so I just wanted to share it here
I ll try to post pics later on, as I am at work right now and cannot do it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the trackball hole in the sleeve...haha I can picture it.
I'm sure Apple has already patented that and now it's only a matter of time before they sue you

OK....so you guys wont believe this.....
I live in NewYork....(flushing) to be precise...which is an area dominant by chinese people....
so I took the subway.....and it was jam packed.....
but thats not it.....
about like a metre away from me I saw a chinese dude with a huge ass phone in his hand....i was kinda curious to know what phone it was untill he flipped it over to do something and I saw....the HD2 buttons.....and thot.....no big deal...i have a HD2 too.....
BUT TO MY SURPRISE !!
I SAW WP7 running on his phone.......he had the Zune music player on it....
NOW i know a lot of you guys will be like....ohhh it might have been a theme or an add on !!
but ! NO
he pressed the start button and it had the same transition.....he even pressed the VOlume UP button and I saw the Notification feature on top of the screen in WP7.....
I so wanted to talk to him about it...but the train was packed and the dude left at the next stop....
now I want to know what you guys think about this ???
i think its bs
This thread is pretty useless without pictures or even the standard blurry/shakey video. It's just going to start more rumours and threads like I know a friend who knows a guy who saw a guy eating lunch who apparently works for HTC and he and a prototype HD2 running WP7.

Just realized today that there is some dirt under the glass screen on the top left corner. When the screen is on, it is hard to notice. But since I plan on selling this phone to get my next one during the summer, I want this thing to be mint.
Do you know if Sprint will replace my entire phone or will they just replace the display in-store? I hope it's the latter...
BTW, any chance of getting a White EVO replacement?

It's pretty clear no bad intentions here.
But as a side note I've got the same problem and right now having a battle with sprint trying to get them to fix it. They are seriously being pricks.
I think I'll threaten to move to verizon.
That'll get them going.

Yes and no; NEXT!

I would say that sprint will switch it for you if you complain enough, and to the correct person; however there is zero chance of a white evo unless because of the variance in SKUs.
I have had the screen replaced twice on my Evo for dust in the upper left corner. This defect was corrected but the scecond screen I got was also one of the originals. The third I have now appears to be the one with the revised gasket.
Youre going to get hella flamed, but meh, its the internet.
Anyways, YES sprint will replace it. They replaced a friends evo for dust, and my sisters hero that had dust. I plan on selling mine to get my next phone too
