Hello guys,
I have a HTC Snap from Mobilicity.
The battery cover on the bottom left side , near the A/Caps/Alt buttons doesn't seem to be fitting on properly and makes creaking noises.
I have already exchanged this device, and the new one also has this issue.
I am in the process of contacting HTC and seeing if I could get some type of replacement battery cover.
Any suggestions? Any guys got quick fixes for this issue?

Mine is the same - I think this is by design.

Yep, this is standard. The Use connector housing is square and does not follow the curve of the casing.

Something I have noticed is that on my brand new replacement handset (serial number beginning HT643, my original handset was an HT634) the silver bezel which runs along the right hand side of the screen is recessed slightly - nothing major, but when my original handset's metal strip was flush with the plastic casing, you really do notice it (particularly if you're holding the phone in your left hand). Oh well, only a minor issue really!

BUT maybe this is how they are solving the Screen alignment problem - DONT bend it. Only joking but you never know do you.

Not planning on it I did notice that JUST as I replaced my handset my screen alignment drifted out, which I corrected with a realignment (I had it replaced for another reason - people not being able to hear me after I'd gone through any call which involved entering numbers to an automated menu system, and then being on hold for a long time! for example... To the T-MOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICES PEOPLE! haha).
Very odd, hope it doesn't happen with this device. I won't go hacking the case to fix it though, I'm too lazy for that.

Thats one of the exact problems with my previous handset but mainly when on speaker phone
Hi..
I bought a Vodafone V1605 ( HTC Tytn ) from ebay... the auction description indicated some alignment problems that could be resolved by screen re-alignment...
But when i got the package i found that the problem is worse than that... as you can see in the picture ( http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/4319/tytnscreenul8.jpg ) the top-right of the screen seems to be with problems.... I tries to draw several horizontal lines... and in the top-right part of the screen i got some waves...
I'm thinking about returning the phone... but can this be resolved by purchasing a new touch-screen ? I've seen that buying a replacing touch-screen is not very expensive....
Best regards,
A new touch screen might help. What also is a known issue is the screws at the back of the screen. Try to tighten these it helped for some guys allready.
I replaced my touch screen after i cracked it and now i can't get it to align at all.
I click anywhere on the screen and it thinks it's a click in the top left of the screen as the start menu opens up.
Haven't been able to find anyone to answer my posts for help either.
If there is dirt on the edges of the screen (between screen and cover) it can cause alignment problems as well. I had to recalibrate mine several times a day at some point as dirt would move and press different locations, biasing the digitizer. I got tired of it, dismantled the phone, took the LCD out, cleaned it as well as the inside of the case, and put it back together. No more issues so far.

Had exactly the same problem (and solution) for the screen alignment problem of my Xperia X1. I removed a tiny plastic piece (most likely a leftover from production process) which stuck between the metal frame and the touch screen. After that I could easily align the touch screen and have no alignment problems anymore.
Be careful to not break the screen - I used a thin sewing needle and tweezers to remove the plastic piece.
OK guys looking for community experience. My defy took a tumble and cracked the screen, the only thing holding the glass was a screen protector. I bought a screen from eBay and replaced it myself. All went well till I started getting complaints that callers to me just hear themselves back, now the complaints started first call after replacement screen and with every call since. Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong?
The only logical reason i can think for this is that somehow you managed to put something out of place when you assembly the phone back... did you try to disassemble and try again?
Sorry that a don't have technical skills to give a proper answer, but that looks logical!
Good luck!
It might be echo cancellation mic, maybe contacts aren't set properly on the board. Try to call with headset, it should be no echo.
When i'm holdnig my phone on my ear with my shoulder people are telling me that they hear themselves...didn't investigated that to find culprit, but it is surely because echo cancellation mic.
P.S. And don't call me Shirley
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. This was my second replacement. The first time i just replaced the glass digitizer leaving my old cover along with the original buzzer. No problems there. The second time though i decided to order the whole thing all together (cover, digitizer, buzzer) in order to same myself the trouble of unsticking the glass and removing all that adhesive glue.
Unfortunately since my second replacement every time i make a call, the person i 'm calling complains about echo and hearing himself. I 'll try to replace the buzzer with the older original one i have and i hope everything turns out good.
Do you have any tips for me, have you solved your problem @rydroid?
any resolution
Hi, did anyone get a resolution to this problem? I have also replaced teh entire front cover and digitizer and am noww getting the same problem. I have double checked everything is installed properly which it seems to be. i think that maybe the noise cancellation mic is being pushed too hard onto the back cover or something.
Anyoen get it sorted?
Cheers
Chris
Guys,
Here comes the solution for my particular echo problem:
I got the same trouble with my girlfriend's phone. Few days ago I replaced the digitizer and since then when I was calling her phone I heard my own voice in my phone back with a nice echo effect. I took the phone apart again to separate the voice of the speaker from the microphone somehow and in the meantime I accidentally lost one of the yellow rubber rings. It fall down to the floor. When I was looking for it on the floor I just found it and I also found another yellow part that I was most probably lost few days ago at the first round. When I put back all the yellow parts and tested the phone again this time the problem just gone. So the solution for me was putting back the yellow part that is located around the bottom of the phone that seems to be isolating the voice that is coming from the speaker. This part is only visible if you take the phone apart in a way the only the LCD and the screen is together in your hand. The mentioned yellow rubber can be seen on this picture (which I just picked by google-ing some random picture): LINK. It is the one seen on the part that is on the bottom left corner, under the LCD, on the left side.
I hope this helps other to resolve the echo issue.
Cheers,
Adam
end of my woes.
I had the same thing as adam in the end. its the little orange silicon bit that shields the microphone. it fits into the fornt cover near the microphone hole. I accidentally threw it away with the old cover and then had the problem. I had to buy a complete new casing in the edn but it is working fine now.

Hello,
I had the same echo issue.
I have to thank you very much Adam, because I also lost mic seal when I changed touch screen. And I had a big luck, because I found it on the floor after 1 week!
Once again thank you
I am happy to read that it helped you, Hark33. That was the exact reason why I wrote it down. :good:
Cheers,
Adam
hi guys
same problem here, i have a second hand defy plus (maybe previous owner replaced the screen and forget the yellow rings),
so where i can buy this yellow rongs??
really thank you
Hello,
same here, thanks very much Adam!!! :good:
Hi guys, first post. So heres the problem. My HD2 screen is not glued properly to the base of the phone and it has a little space between them at the bottom right corner ( next to the Power button), whenever i press the screen to close the gap the phone freezes, and i have to remove the batery. It is getting really annoying couse i cant even put the damn thing in my pocket without it freezing. The hardware keys dont even work i just have to restart it. So my question is does any1 know of this problem and can he/she offer a way out?
Sorry for my english. thanks in advance
Sounds like it been opened before & had not the best assembly.
Would imagine hardware button ribbon is torn or pulled out of socket hence no buttons.
freezing issue could be down to issue with digitizer ribbon or button ribbon or worse ?
Do you have any issues with screen touch & do you know full history of the handset.
If black Void sticker is missing from case screw near battery pins then you know it been opened & most repairs including so called specialists are poor from ones I've seen.
I know this is the last thing you want to hear but if it were my device I'd take it apart and redo the assembly myself. Theres plenty of how-to videos with detailed steps. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, yesterday I've repair my broken d802 (headphone jack broken) and everything goes fine.
But, while I starting to close the back cover I've notice something strange:
a lot of paper clip and needles I have on the desk start to get attracted by the phone, in a first place I thought it was normal (speaker has a magnet) but the magnetic field is near the camera.
Also with the back cover on, it still attract a bit paper clips.
It is normal?
Does your d802 do the same?
the exact place is just some millimetres above the camera.
Thank you in advance
Mine does the same, must be some component that causes this..
so it's not my fault while I was trying to replace the part
Don't think so, but I've previously replaced my screen so it could be different from original parts?
