Aghhh!!! Is anyone else having a hard time putting their back cover on perfectly? I've pressed down so hard on the area (mhl and above) and still won't budge! Any tips?

I have the opposite problem, I have a hard time getting the back cover off with fear of breaking it.

Same here. why couldnt they have the ones that slide off like the phones before. so much easier to take off.

I asked this same question few days ago also and the best tip I got was to start on the opposite side of the camera and peel it off..I now have replacement batteries to change every day and found out if you do it the way then just peel it open like a book ...you don't have to do it hard...it gets used to openning and comes right off. I really don't mind if the back falls off becuase I always have a case on it...hard it silicone and it hoods it in place. I still do this very carefully. I realize tho many will not like this...but I gotta work with what I have...don't like it....but till replacement backs come on the market...it will do.
Its like the area above the mhl has a gap no matter how hard I press it won't go down.

Never mind. HTC being the kick-ass company they are is sending me a new back cover free of charge!
Mine also has a small gap just beside the headphone jack. It just doesn't line up very well right there.

sorry.
I'm reminded of something my dad used to always say:
A guy goes to the doctor and says, "It hurts when I do this" and the doctor replied, "Stop doing that."
Only thing going in my pocket when my phone is in there is my hand. It's pretty silly to think sharp metal objects won't scratch up a plastic device when they are moving around and rubbing each other.

Has anyone got dust under their Amaze yet?
I have dust under mine and I'm wondering if there was any way (easy or not) to get it out. I emailed Wind and checked if maybe they could do something about it since I'm still under warranty, but if my warranty is one use only then I'll save it for when it's actually something more important.

Yeah, I had it on the first one I had, couple days ago. I got mine exchanged for other reasons but this one did not come with dusts under the screen new. But it did come with this strong women perfume scent, because they replaced mine with open boxed one. I hope this goes away soon, because.my palms always smells like a girl now...

try alcohol wipes, and wipe everywhere, back cover etc. Most of the smell will be gone.

Very tough job, you have to pull it apart. the glass is glued to the case/bezel around it

In case you didn't know, I meant dust...
I've taken my Droid Incredible apart, to replace both speakers.
Why would the bezel be in the way of the back of the screen?
I have to take the bezel off to get to the front of the camera?
I think I'll learn to ignore the dust, maybe in a year I'll see, but this is too new to me...

The only way to fix that issue is to disassemble the phone and replace the front camera. Then make sure you tighten it enough so that dust can't get in. Hit thanks if that helps.

Mine is above the speaker and the other is along the right side. Samsung told me its not a known issue. Then they tried troubleshooting it and telling me to remove the battery to see if that fixes it. Lol.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

No, he has a point. If the OP had responded in the thread that was already started, it would be brought to the top of the list, and it would have the same traffic, without creating a useless thread and cluttering up our forums. Especially when he knew there was another thread.

My phone has never been dropped or put in a dock. If u look at the phone the crack is between the top of the glass and the silver trim. You will see white trim and thats where mine are

Just saw the same crack on mine. Sucks.
are you guys sitting down with the phone in your pocket? If it is a little tight, maybe the frame is flexing a bit. I've started taking my phone out of my pocket when I sit down.

Nope. I get the concept that 175 lbs of me is too much for super thin glass to support.

Mine is hardly ever in my pocket. I usually carry it around in my hand. Im too cautious with my phone. Never even been tossed....not even on a bed or couch. Always sit it down gentle

So I generally don't start threads because I usually don't get stuck. BUUUUT
I ended up either cracking the red back plate when removing it, or when screwing it down, not sure which, and it doesn't sit right. I get wonky signal issues sometimes because the back covers don't sit right on it.
Anyone have any idea where I might be able to order that back plate? I can't imagine it cost very much, but having complete signal failure because your back cover creaked is retarded.
I spent some time on google and could find every replacement part in the damn phone minus that red back cover.
Thanks!

I tried to search and look for this issue but I couldn't find it.
Got my phone back in July, love it, works great. But my kick stand is loose. I never used it alot, but its loose. If I hold my phone top facing up, the kick stand falls. Its really loose. Can I fix this somehow or do you think sprint will do anything? Don't really mees it I just don't want it to be flopping around. I was thinking about gluing it. Any info would be great!

That should be a relatively easy fix for your local sprint store... And should be covered under warranty (if applicable)

There is a silver nut that controls the tightness of the kickstand. If you can tighten that it will fix your issue.
