Oh man after a view days the cover is so sluggish that the device is often open during the day ...
Do you have any idea to solve the problem ?
have the same problem....the battey cover does not seem to click into place or stay closed properly.
Anybody else see this??? Is it a manufacturing fault?
Did you first remove the stylus prior to re-attaching the cover?
Wau I solved it - press the cover from wight to left a bit and it will set best
The same problem here, i'm going to try the tips and otherwise I will buy a new cover I guess

can you exactly tell me how you did it cuz I can't fix it
I have the same problem with my TP2. I just return it to the seller (Fnac in France) for an exchange. They agree to send me a new one.
btw, did you guys remove the plastic film behind teh screen? I dunno if it's meant to be kept on the device or not... strange...
Had my TP2 for around a month now, and the battery cover doesn't seem to fit properly anymore.
Seems a bit dodgy that we have to go and buy new battery covers for it :s
I'm assuming it is the cover itself that is faulty, and not something on the back of the phone. Kinda hard to tell.

The seller whom I purchased mine from is sending me a replacement back battery cover. I must say, they do have great customer service.
As the title implies, my back battery door used to creek so badly. Put some paper behind it and feels 10x better.
Just wondering if anyone has had to do the same?
I bounce back and forth between extended and oem battery. My oem door doesn't squeak badly, rarely every really. My extended door doesn't at all.
My back door creaked but it was because I had a missing tab near the volume bar. Got a replacement from VZW and the creak is gone.
mine creaks horribly...you just put paper behind it? my left side creeks reallllllllly bad and it's getting worse.
wow very cool. i just put a thick piece of paper back there, and i don't really noitce it anymore..hmm!
haaha funny thing now, my phone doesn't lay 100% flat...it's a thin piece of paper, yet now i can sit here and spin my phone because there's a tiny added bulge to it!
Nice, I just snipped a piece and put it back there to see if it would altogether eliminate it. Good call!
Battery's get hot as they charge and discharge, this heat shortness there lifespan. I wonder if something other than paper would dissipate heat better?
Just a thought
Nope. Mine is solid. Aslo I keep a tpu case on it at all times.

yeah, i was wondering if paper on the battery was such a good idea because of the heat, etc as well. hmm

Yeah, my first thought was that sounds dangerous
Mine doesn't really creak much.
The paper isn't going to spontaneously combust. It isn't nearly hot enough. Not to mention if you had to put more than 1 piece back there you should probably just get a new back door. If anything was going to make the phone stay hot, or get hot longer it would be a TPU case, or any case for that matter.
nope. gonna spontaneously combust.

I use paper on my fascinate with the extended battery. Been using it for over a year with no probs whatsoever. I needed it to stop the batt from shifting side to side. Problem solved

I have two extended battery backs, both creak some but one is worse than the other.
I don't get what the big deal is however, the creak doesn't bother me at all. I hardly notice it & figure its no big deal anyway.

yea, I use the hard rubber HTCPedia case with the back cutout for the extended batt (I have a shiny black one & a red one).
I LOVE that case, it makes the phone feel like the extended battery is the stock setup.

It's nothing I wad losing sleep over lol, just something that bothered me, and adding paper resolved it just fine, very happy with the results.
creak bothered the living hell out of me because it creaked even with the TPU case on; felt like i was holding a cheap piece of plastic. now it doesn't and i couldn't be happier.
Mine unfortunately creeks and I think that it has to do with the back battery door.
I would like to find a new one so I don't have to put paper behind it to keep it from creeking.
If you have one from a Refurb or anything like that please PM me as I would be very grateful to purchase this.
Pretty sure I've seen them on Verizon's web site. Not terribly expensive.

Thanks dudes, exactly what I was looking for!
$16 shipped is a great deal.
the only ones I could find were on ebay lol and are selling for 60$!

---and it seems like by reputable ebay sellers??
hopefully this will fix the need for some paper behind the battery to stop the door from creeking.
will update when the new back door arrives!
Eventually these things will be everywhere like the inc2 as the back battery doors actually come with refurb replacements from Verizon. I myself had 3 extras for my inc2 lol.
Just got my new backdoor in this morning.
100% fixed the creeking noise on my phone!!
very happy about that, I have however kept a few small pieces of paper behind the door as there was a little gap frop the back door to the battery that i could feel, perhaps this was on purpose for cooling of battery? idk, not sure but my battery hasn't gotten any hotter than normal.
I've swapped out 2 battery doors and I still have the creaking. I'm fairly certain the only phones that don't creak are the iphone and droid razr/razr maxx.
my first rezound creaked like crazy, then i had a replacement sent out and it was fine. pretty weird issue to have lol.
Just add some papers the size of the battery behind the door, works wonders.
The back cover/door for the extended battery is a piece of crap, and creaks like a rusty hinge all the time. So annoying. I finally got it to almost entirely stop by taking some sticky notes and cutting two thin strips on the adhesive part, and sticking them on the sides of the inside of the back cover, then sticking a little bit of paper on top of the battery. For mine, at least, most of the sound was coming from where you grip it on the sides and this solved it.
@HTC: It's annoying that we have to do this, please take more care with the design of it on future super-phones. Save the cheap back covers for mid-range/low-end phones, in my opinion. Lol.
Og droid had a metal back cover and didn't creak. I had a bionic, and it creaked

Mine doesn't creak at all.
Are you guys using some sort of death grip or something? Don't use the extended battery often but neither it or the regular door creaks.
Via Rezound using XDA Premium
No creaking here either.
Standard door does not creek at all. The extended one does a tiny bit on the right side, if I death grip it like someone above said lol. Not annoying enough to try and fix it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Both mine creek. The extended one creeks the worse that's for sure. It doesn't matter how you hold it. Not the biggest deal though since I don't use it too often. I don't seem to get that much more life out of it to justify the size compared to the standard battery.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I have an awful creak on the left side. I am going to try a bit of gaffers tape.
My extended battery door doesn't creak but is missing the Beats logo. I noticed they didn't forget the HTC logo..
Tape didn't fix it.
Any ideas?
I have two to sell I'll sell both for 25 with shipping.

I just received my replacement case from Otterbox today. May I say "WOW", much improved over the launch case. The new case seems to have shaved the slightest bit of plastic from the sides to make it a kind of struggle to clip together. I don't know about you guys (or the ladies), but I like a case that holds my phone firmly. That's not all though, I noticed that the foam pieces they adhere to the back plate are a little thicker than the original as well. Now for the shell, this thing is wicked hard to get off the plastic now (may cause the power and headphone port flaps to break a little quicker). It feels a little more "plasticy", but it is a huge improvement over the former almost elastic rubber. Just figured I'd let you guys know, Otterbox is finally getting things right.

Is it possible to post up close pics? I'm about to call them for the 20th time and get another silicon shell. Its all stretched out and the flap to the charging port is soon to come off. I have had problems with what I already said as well as the little clip lip breaking off what snaps the phone in. What was your complaint to get a replacement? Did you get a full replacement?

I will try to get some pics tomorrow. I've had a pretty busy week. The plastic case broke right at some of the clips, and that didn't bother me until I tried to put it in my holster and the holster snapped, because it didn't fit right with the broken clips (I honestly never thought that would happen). Anyway, when I broke the holster, I inadvertently pushed my phone to the ground and broke the screen (landed just right on the top right corner). They ended up sending me a full replacement, and apologized profusely about my phone. I was honestly going to get a different case, but when I received my replacement, I was more than happy with the improvements in quality.

Cool. I called them yesterday and they are also sending me a complete replacement. I told them I heard they have a new design and said its quite possible they are always upgrading due to complaints. I won't get the case until 2 weeks so if you could get pics that'd be awesome thanks man I understand your busy as am I with this crazy Christmas mess.

i highly doubt they changed anything around. my original plastic part of the case broke one of its clips and they sent me a new complete case and it seemed like the old case, just newer. Id imagine its just a new case to you, and can be worn in just like the old one

In the same boat fellas - on my second replacement case after the originals charger port broke off. Judging by the look of the port now, the same thing is going to happen AGAIN.
The replacements we recieved haven't been revised - the rubber intially felt diffferent but over time as it wears and oils from the hands or other substances are transferred it took on the same feel as my older case.
To be sure I followed up with the Otter rep that handled my replacement. This is the response I recieved back from Otterbox:
"Hi Marcus,
Your welcome! At this time the silicone has not changed from the originally one that you had. We are however constantly looking at ways to improve on all of our products and the silicone issue has been brought to our attention from loving customers like you. Hopefully in the future we will have this problem fixed up.

Yeah just received my third replacement since launch. One thing I will say is they stand behind their warranty. After the first complaint they sent me 2 silicone replacements, then after both of those suffered from the same problem as the original, they just sent me a whole new case. Hard shell and all. It sucks that they don't work like they are supposed to, but as long as they keep replacing them free of charge I guess I can't complain too much.

I just filled out the warranty for my third replacement as well. The usb flap last a few weeks before it starts to tear and by about two months the rubber is very loose.
Otterbox is GREAT about their warranty!! I've had multiple replacements on multiple devices! They never question you or give you any problems. I bought a used black Commuter on ebay just because I knew I could get a new one directly from Otterbox in exchange for the used one! Saved me some money in exchange for a little wait time. Got a new case for less than half price, actually MUCH less than half of the retail price!!

i'm about to get my 3rd silicone slip cover..... like all of you they begin to warp near the upper right hand corner of the phone. After this happened the first time, I was extremely careful whenever I grabbed the phone from my pocket, or whenever I pressed the volume rocker in an effort to extend the life of the slip cover... and it did last 2 months longer than the original slip cover did.... but still it eventually warped. I realize the 3rd slip cover is going to be no different.... but why not get one more slip cover before my warranty expires?
honestly, I dont care that the charging port flap breaks, frankly it's annoying having that flap so I like it when it finally breaks off.
I'm really tempted to just ditch the otterbox case and take my chances with the bare phone (this phone is one of the better looking phones out there).... but then every couple of weeks I'll drop the phone and remember that's why I bought an otterbox case.
Trident case Kraken. That is my next one after I run out of slip covers. I love popping out the plastic and using Zagg hd shields though.

Did a few searches and I didn't see anyone mention this issue, so I may just have a slightly defective cover.
I got my free flip case and tec tiles in the mail today and the case snaps on just fine and looks great. But I noticed the camera and flash LED are recessed. The camera only a little and the LED a little more than the camera. I'm kind of concerned about dust and debri possibly making its way through any slight cracks that may be between the cover and LED. I'm not going to ask for a replacement since Samsung have this to me for free, but does anyone else have this issue?
Also, I could have sworn there was a thread sharing a notice that Samsung was giving these away if you register your device. Couldn't find that or else I'd post this question there.
