when I open the back cover, the top half of the battery is loosely sitting in the slot. So, if I put my phone screen-facing towards me with the battery cover open, I am able to push the top half of the battery in and gravity pulls it till the notches that stop it from falling out completely.
Does that happen to anyone else?
I think that I don't have this issue, (I have an Otterbox Defernder, and did a battery pull a few minutes ago, you just missed me, but I will have to check mine.), but you might want to call Motorola, as all products are have a 1 year limited manufacturer's warranty, or contact the place that sold you the phone.

As far as I know this affects all mophos...if you get random reboots then first thing I would do is go to sprint and try a new back cover. As some don't sit tightly and the battery loses connection.

Mine is extremely tight. Probably the tightest fitting battery of any phone I've had. I would take it back.

what is the serial number of your battery? HF5X or BF5X? (It should be written right on top of the battery when you open up the battery cover).

HF5X ......
hmm I called motorola and the guy was like..."Oh, I have a photon here and the battery in it is BF5X. And maybe that's why the battery is loose. Let me send you the (****ty 1500mAH) BF5X battery."
I think i'm gonna go to best buy and get my phone (or battery) replaced.

I just found out if you remove the battery door you get no service or data since the antenna connectors are on the battery door itself, this is lame! what if the door becomes loose over time, i wouldnt think they would do such thing.. The second i pop off the bottom part, data is gone, and once top doesnt touch the service is gone.

So that's what all that stuff is inside the back. That's pretty interesting, I just tried it and my data connection from 4G to 3G and from 2 bars to none.
yep it sucks in the way incase you do anything for example get different types of batteries or doors might have trouble with them.
If you get oversized batteries, then you get the oversized doors. Easy enough. I also have a Thunderbolt with the same type of door and never had a problem with it. More nitpicking.

Agreed, I think it's actually a pretty clever way to place the antenna.
as far as the "coming loose" bit goes, I had that happen to my Thunderbolt. What I did was used needle nose pliers to bend each contact slightly + used "spark plug grease" from Napa Auto Parts to ensure they'd keep a good solid connection. Actually, I noticed it improved my signal afterwards.
yep i mean for times if the phone freezes or you need to do a battery pull, you take the cover off and eventually the battery cover becomes less resistant as it originally was. So far i havent had any issues to do a battery pull on the rezound but who knows
If it comes loose, warranty replacement overnight costs you nothing. Or, do voxigenboy said if you don't want to call Verizon.
this would be problematic if say... someone drops their phone during a ride, and they weren't able to find the battery cover. For most other phones it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but this case would leave you with a paperweight till you can get a new battery door

The battery door hold's the Antenna's for LTE and EVDO for rx diversity. The CDMA 1xRTT voice antenna is located elsewhere..
They don't free overnight? Sure they do. Every replacement I get for my customers comes free overnight the next day.

is this the same as the thunderbolt with 2 radios? I hadn't heard either way. The thunderbolt was the only phone that had that.
most 4g phones in this form factor are going to use antenas that are in the back cover... And if you drop your phone and the battery cover goes flying, then shame on you for not having some sort of case on the phone...
And yes, the TB is the same way.

They literally just warranty replaced my X2 last weekend and shipped it to me Via FedEx on a SATURDAY for free. So, yes they do still do it. You just have to know what you are talking about, or have a good rep apparently.

Watching the michigan illinois game in the background like a boss.
Ok so my co-worker just came in with at Droid 4 (God rest his soul) and was explaining to me he was informed you can't take the batt our or you void your warranty.
So he too the back of and sure as **** they have the IMEI sticker over top the batt and over laps so you have to cut it and the batt is screwed down....Hmmm looks like an attempt to stop you from rooting your phone cause you can't batt pull.
Does the Droid 4 have an external storage Card? If so is it in the same place as the DX2? Because that would be pointless for motorola to do that since you have to remove the battery to get to it. How do they know you pulled the battery? And why dont they just make the battery non removable? Arent they doing that now with newer phones? I hate how Motorola thinks.

Well occasionally **** ****s up and you have to pull the batt if an SBF was done before you wiped user data and your in a boot loop so I guess a lot!
Here's a quote from Android Central:
"The most interesting part of the teardown focuses on the Droid 4's troublesome non-removable battery. The teardown process revealed that in addition to a warning sticker, the battery is fixed in place with Torx screws and glue, making removal challenging and potentially hazardous. Putting pressure on a lithium ion battery tends to cause bad things -- like explosions -- to happen, so iFix recommends gently prising it out with a spudger."
Maybe that's why they have the warning sticker on it. The battery they use may be hazardous. Still, non removable batteries suck.

yeah, it sucks how companies these days often try to control to much. As far as the battery removal, I have found that on my Droid X2 I have removed the battery dozens of times back when I wasn't rooted.... the software is just junk, so it requires battery pull at times!
That's one of the reasons I traded up from an iPhone as its easier to carry a spare battery than find somewhere to charge especially when travelling

The droid 4 does not come with a card but it does have a slot. The location is under the battery cover on top of the battery right next to the 4g sim card. They know you pulled the battery because there is a sticker over the entire battery that must be peeled on the sides to remove the battery. If you are crafty you can do it. There is no need though. The ribbon cable on the bottom of the battery is screwed in with 2 star screws(Torx) i think a t-5 or t-4 in size. It does not have traditional battery pins and terminals. If you try to yank it out, it will break.

No it will only work on devices with non-removable batteries. Since our X2s are removable, it does not have the function.

Name a Moron/jackass who allows you to access the battery compartment but doesn't let you remove it: Motorola! Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations!
What, is the battery a "museum piece"?? Do you open the battery cover and say, "Oh look darling! The flare from the sim/sd card slot accentuates the artistic impressions on the sticker above the battery. How wonderful, hmm.."?
Nonsense. Only explanation, and this is a logical one: Motorola is SOOO out of money, they couldn't even afford to redesign the Droid 4 so that the 4g/sd card slot is outside the battery compartment and the boss said we need a non-user replaceable battery. So, the clueless monkeys at Moto glued that POS.. Good one moto.. Next time, may be you guys can retrofit the X2 chassis with a 4.7 inch screen and add plastic bits to "Extend" the hull... And glue it on with some duck tape... Now that is a killer phone!

It was a problem for me. It would take about 5 hours to charge the phone to 99% and just slightly warm, then the temp goes up and up and up till phone kicked out at 130 degrees and turned off red hot. Never would hit 100% and kick out. I took it back and Verizon rep said they are all coming back when using with DNA. I don't think its compatible with DNA, but everyone on here argues that it is. Bottom line. Doesn't work properly and will severly shorten phone and battery life.

Ya, I would say try changing the battery. Someone did a test a while ago where they took 5 phones in put them in something and lowered the temp by 10f every 30 mins. At -10 batteries that had just been charged said low, then I think died at -20. Then at -30 they all had screen problems and battery problems. And I think they almost all stopped working completely at -40. But all they had to do was return the phones to room temperature again and they were all fine. I'll try and find the article but wat I'm saying is I don't think the cold damaged the phone but maybe the battery

I hope you are keeping your Amaze in a warm pocket. I recall seeing a story several years ago about an Air Force plane that overnighted in Fairbanks AK.

Yes its in my pocket its not -40 its like -10 to -35 at most, LCD is fine (thanks for info btw) just data and battery life (even when I don't go outside the battery don't last long, like 2 hours) since data don't work with right APN and everything I'm going to just get another phone, until then gonna try to make it work, any help would be appreciated.

As for the data, you might try replacing the battery cover, which houses the antennas.

Could possibly be due to condensation issues. I had a phone a few years back that suffered in the Ohio winters, which get nasty but don't compare to those temps. Also, as I understand it, cold kills Li-Ion batteries quite nicely.
