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 ?

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.
Mine does all the time. Its a major week point of the phone. Apart from that and the delete key in Opera (will install the beta of 9.5 to resolve this) the phone is near perfect.
It literally jumps off the phone in my pocket, I put it really nicely on the desk and when I pick it up, it has jumped off again. Hold the 4 corners and move one really (i mean really) slightly and the cover pops off.
The plastic clips where I have put the back on continuously are starting to wear down!
Anyone else get this or is it just me?
Yes mine did when I first got it. Easy fix though.
Take the back cover off, where the two interior clips are housed in the cover ( bottom part of cover lined up with the indents on the phone to allow removal of the cover) give it a good squeeze to bend the metal cover in by pushing both sides.
Worked a treat for me.
Thanks, you have made me look stupid
Works a treat!!
While we're on the subject of battery covers, do you guys have any idea what's up with the metal contacts making connections to the battery cover? Is it some kind of grounding thing? maybe an extensible connection of the antenna, or using the batt cover as wifi antenna or something? Hah, but really, it seems odd.
Good tip though, this thing is stuck on there now!
Nope, but the tip is good.
Jump? Mine has a little 'bump' in the middle, a slight outward curve. Took it to 2 service centres and they said it's normal.

upside down, your battery cover looks, in profile, roughly like this:
|____|
You want to bend the sides in, on the end where it says SONY ERICSSON, in this manner:
--> /____\ <--
(Don't bend it to such an extreme degree as depicted though, of course! Just an indication of what direction you're bending in...)

I had the same problem. This is how you solve it.
Dont just bend it in the MIDDLE or else you'll deform the entire cover.

This guy is a superstar
Does any else have a battery cover that creaks a bit when you put pressure near the top of the right side? I am sure its just due to the fact its plastic instead of metal, but its one of those little things that will bother the hell out of me if I am the only one who has this problem...
Mine seems totally fine, I just tried to get it to creak with no luck. Do you have a screen protector that it may be rubbing on?
I noticed it too. I guess as long as it doesn't slip off easily, it should be fine.
I haven't noticed this; however, in order to take the cover off for your SIM, battery, and sdcard; the right side of the phone is a pressure point (at least on my phone) to help free it from the clips holding it in place when you want to pull it up. Mine doesn't creak, but I do notice if I put some pressure on it there is a bit of give. HTH.
A little bit off topic but yesterday I rooted my girlfriends Aria and I automatically took the back cover off because I thought the procedure would be similar to my Incredible. After I was done with the root I left the back cover off and tried to make calls and send texts but nothing worked. I had no service until I put the cover back on. When I looked a little further it seemed like there were two contacts on the back cover that must serve some purpose. Is this true?
I was a little shook for a minute....Thought I ruined her phone!
The antenna is in the back cover...
Well there ya go....thanks.

yea mines pretty solid no creaks
I have the same problem with mine. It's on the same side too. I got a case from the ATT store and its gone away. Makes the phone more sturdy for me

I have the same issue ,, but in the top left corner... it is really annoying...
Yep, top right corner creaking here
As many times as I've had the back cover off swapping between SD cards though it was only a matter of time.
Hi.
I love my Mini I own it for about a mouth.
My problem is the back cover that doesn't feel "solid", when I hold it on the hand and press the screen I feel the cover "creak" and flex.
Is this normal?
I don't remember feeling this at the beginning.
Thanks in advance
Everyone's back cover don't bend/flex a little when pressing the screen normally?
Only me?
My back cover is loose also and it can be removed very easily (we are not alone - see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687326).
It seems that there are two versions of the cover because some people seem to have problems removing the back cover (see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674089).
My Mini makes some "crack" sounds too when I press the screen. But this is normal But indeed it is irritating sometimes
That's normal. I had my first unit with snug fit cover. Unfortunately, this unit is defective. So i had it replaced. Second unit has loose cover. With the creeking sound and all those stuff described above. But it works fine. Doesn't accidentally break open.
Now, after 3 months of use, the cover seems to be tighter now. Don't know why. Shrinking cover? Don't know.
First thanks for your sharing your experiences.
This is indeed one irritating thing, it doesn't feel safe and even I didn't open the back cover to many times.
bart3385 experience of a tighter cover after 3 months is strange, maybe you get used to it .
Nevertheless I hope the same happens to me.
Its a shame that this kind of design fault affect the user experience of a such nice device.
Perhaps their would be a one later.
Yep same here, back cover does sometimes make a little bit cracking noise when pushing the screen. Besides that i also have a narrow gap between the glass of the screen and the housing of the phone, but thats also nothing new for this phone .
Same here.. sometimes I get the feeling that my phone isn't safe within its back cover.
btw, the inferior edge of my screen display stands a bit beyond the back cover, kinda protrudes (specially in the lower part of the display glass, next to the 5 capacitive buttons on the bottom). Is it just me or the same happens with u guys!?
Like I said nice phone but sometimes it just seems strange :-|

It's possible the adhesives to the glass is a bit loose.
Try this. Remove back cover. Then press the glass edges to the phone body firmly. Then reinstall the cover. This should eliminate the protrusion.

Yes.. guess this was the problem.
I did it and it really corrected the protrusion, but it got back in a minute
What can I do to solve this!? Its really related to the adhesives. I can see them under the glass (kind of a glue).
cya.
Yes if you are facing the screen toward you in your right hand it will do that. For some reason the left side seems to be a little loose. If you hold in your left hand it is not that noticable. I fixed mine with a torche and patience.

You used a torch? That's too risky.
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.

Yes! That is exactly it. Can you snap that in and out very easily? I was able to snap mine out of the old, but they definitely don't snap easily into the replacement.

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.

yea thats the problem the lcd must not be attached to snap it back in, if you think about it something underneath must be holding it, so now there is no space, you must remove the frame put the protector back in and then close it

i think i remember someone on some forum saying motorola just used double sided sticky tape for the grills.... mine are also loose and wiggle about a lot and looking for a solution to make them unmovable.
My bottom one is loose. So far not to annoying but still...

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

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)

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. Like a profile view a horizontal view from the left side and an isometric type photo
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.
