Ok so how do I take the back off to put in my sd card
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Right by the power button put your finger nail in there and pry it off. I took the back off 2 LTE display models I've seen so far just to get used to it ironically I still don't have mine until tomorrow.
Thanks a ton!!

Didn't it come with a manual? Just curious, not trying to be a ****

I get scared $#!7less everytime i attempt to take it off. it feels rather flimsy like it could easily snap in pieces. someone better start making replacements lol
but yes for anyone scared or unaware how, just use a fingernail or key and snap it back (top part toward you first)

Haha I feel the same way! Good thing I'm not going to be touching that too often
Well hopefully it doesn't need to be removed very often.

I feel like if I use any more force I'm going to break it or something!
Any suggestions ?
Are you pushing up thumb under the camera lenses one side and same place on the right, mine comes off fairly easily ....

I agree, it is a bit like there is a child lock - like medicine bottle lid. HTC could have done better there. Even staff at a CPW struggled to take the little cover off.
It will come off, but if you are not too sure, and you bought from a store near you, go back there and let them show you how to open it so that it does not break in your hands. Just a thought.
Seems to losen up after being removed twice.

The trick is to press down (inwards) then up. Quite easy if you do that.
Really wow come on this is the last thing one should worried about with this bad ass device. It's not hard at all.

I can confirm that mine was a real pain in the butt. it was the point to where i feared breaking the thing so i gave up. then when my sd card came in the next day i gave it a go and it came off without much trouble. cant say if it was a slightly different technique or if it loosened up after being played with for a day.
Hey,
I know there is a similar thread to this but I just can't find it. Sorry guys.
Well let me tell the problem. After removing the backcover a few times I find that the backcover started to make squish sounds. Sounds come off from somewhere in middle of right side between volume and video button. It is clear that something has broken but can't figure out what. Issue seems to come from the backcover scratching the bezel. This makes me for the first time think about letting my amaze go. Tell me what you think please.
Cheers
I have that same noise..its frustrating..i just got this phone not longer than 3 weeks..

Looked more into it and yes it's coming from the bezel and the back cover. Very frustrating ..we need a solution ......apart from getting a new phone

Just put some tape and the noise will be gone
This issue was already stated. Have you done a search? There is a quick solution, but for me it went away after some time.

Fold a thin piece of paper and place it on top of battery. Then pop back cover on. Problem solved.

Try This:
Take out the phone from the battery cover, Now push the white locking tab inwards while putting the battery cover back on, it makes a huge difference for me.
Hope the same for you, let me know if it helped.

I thinly cut up some command strips (only peeled off one side) and put them on the back cover near the spots the noise was coming from. Took 7 but it feels much more solid now and no noise.

Man this phone is awesome bit it has so many issues
1. Capacitive buttons lights leak to the screen
2. Camera flash also bleeds into pictures
3. A dead pixel
4. The backcover noise
5. Lack of full support from htc

Don't know how valid this is because I use a tight case. But someone said to put it in a cold place, like a garage or outside or even the refrigerator. His argument was that the case would shrink and while small you could fit it back on.

If you take the back cover off and you look on the back just to the top left corner of the battery there is a small spring loaded contact. If you look at the corresponding area inside of the back cover you will see a small mark on the aluminum where it is rubbing (on the inside about half way down from the bottom of the volume rocker and the top of the camcorder button).
It seems like too much of a coincidence that there is a spring loaded bearing in the exact area causing the squeaking and that not be part of the issue.
Does anyone know if that is an electrical contact like some of the other ones on the top half of the phone?

Pretty sure they are the contacts for the phone antenna. The manual warns that the phone antenna are built into the back cover and to make sure that the cover is on tightly to receive proper phone and data signal. Might want to be careful of these with paper or command strips when making the cover fit!

1,4,5 are the biggest problems. Think this is the last HTC phone I'm going to buy ...so what's next?
Samsung ...no way ..cheap plastic phones
LG - same as above but with some extra crap
Moto - seems like a good choice but limited support as well
Sony - are they ever going to release a high end phone?

Does anyone else have this problem? My camera button gets jammed inwards a little bit. I can always get it back out, but it is very annoying when you are trying to take pictures. I have it in burst mode and it will take twenty pictures. Thank goodness for best shot.
Same here. It's actually kinda stuck inside now. Sprint said they need to replace the phone, but I do not want to do it to keep my nice hackable hboot.
Yea. I do not want a replacement phone. I just want a fixed phone. I'm kind of hoping it will fix itself after being worn down a bit. We'll see. It's such an annoyance though. Good luck with yours.
In the accessory section there is a website that you can by parts for replacement if I remember correctly the camera button was cheap

My wife got the DNA yesterday and she is very excited about the new phone (coming from four years on the iPhone). However, the phone makes a fairly loud snapping sound if you press and then release the back cover. It does the same when you squeeze from side to side. Not too hard, it happens even with a normal amount of pressure necessarily if to pick it up. It appears the back cover may not be attached or glued property.
Do you think I should replace it?

I don't think the back is supposed to come off. I would take it back.

No issues here, that's very odd and you might want to exchange that?
Today I went to best buy to buy this because they price matched letstalk to 199$. The woman I delt with sighed and ughed the whole time. Really rude. I ended up adding a line. Burning a sim. And moving the phone to my main line to get the upgrade.
Now I noticed this when I got home but im disappointed in build quality. I dont know if it was me snapping the back cover back on. But the top of my screen was loose. And the bottom leaked light from the leds because well..the glue holding the screen clearly was not that good. I immediately called back and was upset and went to exchange and now im all fine.
But now im paranoid about snapping back in my back cover. How cheaply made is this thing? Anyone run into hardware issues yet? Best buy has a 30 day exchange policy. Thank god.

im referring to the bottom of the phone, when the leds were lit up, you saw on the side of the phone light leakage, and on the top of the phone if you pushed down gently on any corner the screen was loose.
Sounds like a bad device. I haven't had any problems and since there aren't many threads about it, I'd say that other users aren't having problems either.

i just hope this isnt a common issue, i don't want it to happen to this one as well.
They wouldn't give me a price match to letstalk
I can assure you that this is NOT a normal issue with this phone... But, if you don't think something is right about it then you have every right to exchange! It's YOUR money and if your not happy then exchange away...
Only reason I got is because they price matched. I told them I know its not on your list. But other best buys have done.

sorry about your experience, I suppose it is expected that there are lemons in the bunch, but it just sucks to know you got one of em. Rest assured it's not a common problem. I'm sure others will testify that yours is a unique issue.

im just gonna be super fragile and not squeeze the screen when putting on the back cover if i ever have to take it off now. >_< just precaution! i dont wanna ever have to get a refurb.
Its ok. Crisis averted.

Samsung's thin battery covers are reasonably robust regarding battery removal and handling. Even improperly installed, the plastic has given and snapped into place. I owned a Charge and Galaxy Nexus with similar battery covers and I have never broken a tab.
I have (3) batteries for my Note 2 and swap every other day without worry of breaking anything. Samsung knows removable covers...
Yeah ive had a nexus and s3 no issues. Note 2 day one screen lose from snapping in battery cover or something . Go figure.
