I just picked the phone up this morning, and I must say the screen is phenomenal. One thing that bugs the crap out of me is the cover for the charging port. Has anyone just ripped it out? I have no fingernails and getting into it kind of sucks. Or are there any tricks to getting into it a bit easier?

I have seen a few reports of people just giving it a firm tug and the cover does pop out.
I like the cover. I've yet to use the USB as I've been only wirelessly charging.
I see. I will probably look on Amazon today for wireless charging pads, I'm sure in the accessories sub-forum there are plenty of recommendations for good pads. Thanks.
There was already a topic about this. A couple of users ripped it off firmly and all went well.

At first I didn't like how difficult it was to put in. After a few days I got it down pretty well and it's easy to snap in. I'll definitely leave it in place, as I like the smooth, unbroken line it creates on the bottom of the phone. Not to mention looking back at my EVO 4G's nearly unused mini HDMI port and remembering the insane amount of pocket fluff that ended up inside that thing.

It may be true that it doesn't take long, but I have a bad habit or chewing my fingernails and it is tough to get the plug out.

Mine actually breaks the line at the bottom, since the left corner refuses to go completely in .__. So I have a small corner sticking up just a tiny bit lol.

Yeah people need to understand where phones are going these days. Things like battery covers, internal memory, etc are all extinct now. Just like the dna is designed to cloud streaming, it is also designed for wireless charging. Consider the fact they even put a usb port on there as a favor. If you're shelling out money for the DNA you should be able to afford a wireless charger to go with it.
Yeah, I ripped it out before I even left the Verizon store

Here is my sad story.....dropped the T-bolt for the first time and the digitizer cracked (had it in a case even). So I ordered a new one from repairs universe and they advertised that it would come with a guide. It did not, but the digitizer arrived quickly. So being an electrical engineer I decided that I could probably do it anyway.
I managed to get it apart and learn the hard way about a few things not to do. I manged to crack the LCD :-( I looked an no one has them :-(
My model used a Sharp lq043y1dx04 according to the sticker.
Anyway, I have figured out how to take the T-Bolt apart and figured that while I wait for a new LCD to become available I could at least share some pictures with the community. Being a new poster though, how would you suggest posting pictures?
***Update - photos are here, let me know if there are any that you would like to see better: s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/bscythe/ ***
Finally, I do not recommend anyone try this....you need to remove the LCD in order to replace the digitizer. The LCD is double sticky taped to a metal tray. To get the two apart you must do a lot of prying which can destroy the fragile LCD. If you are going to try it, I'd recommend a 4" wide razor used for scraping windows to insert along side the LCD to use to pry with. Be careful not to cut the ribbons though!
I'm a mechanical/acoustical engineer...
For pics, I would use photobucket...
As for the screen and tray, usually they are one piece, is there any kind of tabs through the board that look like they may hold the tray in?

Thanks for posting, OP.
Well I hope that my misfortune is at least helpful to others at some point since I could not find a teardown to reference before I tried fixing the phone myself.
I was able to get a new one from work (thank goodness for the large number of available upgrades on our account), but still plan to finish fixing this one when the LCDs become available. Putting it back together will be the easy part....I'll take better pictures during the process too.
Did you happen to notice where the cell and wifi antennas are located?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
They are located in the battery cover. If you take it apart you will see the metal tabs on the battery cover that connect to the phone for the antennas.
This is the first phone I have ever purchased insurance for. My nexus one took a few tumbles and survived but I would hate to try to replace this phone at retail price. At least ebay had nexus one pretty available for reasonable prices.
Good luck maybe you can still purchase the insurance through VZ.

Well I dropped mine too and the digitizer is cracked bad. It still works and tape is holding it all in place but I need to get it fixed. I have taken apart laptops and fixed them and am a mr fixit in many departments, so I hope I can do it without cracking the lcd. I ordered the digitizer and am hoping to get some tips from you. Is there any way you put a step by step together that could guide me through this process? I would greatly greatly appreciate it.
I looked at the pics and with the beveled edges of the tray it seems to be very hard to separate the lcd from the tray with a flat blade. Does the LCD have to be detached from the tray? Also, since the bottom part of the case is a molded piece do the internals slide up and out?
Thanks
I'm sure that isn't the only antenna.

Short story is that I forgot I left my RAZR sitting on the roof of my car. After making my first turn, my phone slid from the roof of my car into the street. I realized it as soon as it happened and pulled my car over to the side of the road.
After running down the street trying to locate it, I spotted it laying face down on the far left/ middle lane divider. As I approached it I noticed traffic coming and backed off a bit hoping that no cars would switch lanes trying to avoid me.
My worst thoughts became reality when a red sedan ran my baby over. Both driver side tires made contact with the phone, making it pop up 3 feet into the air smacking back down onto the pavement.
I am happy to say that I am using the same phone to send this post. I screen is flawless and there are no marks on the phone what so ever. I had an invisible shield screen protector and a cheap plastic case on it. Motorola has made me a believer in their build quality, assuring them another of my purchases in the future.

I agree. But I also believe that some amount of effort is involved in luck. Motorola has crafted one sturdy little sucker. Me and my wife are still amazed that the phone is showing no ill effects. The only thing that happened was a one time reset after I picked it up off the pavement.

I wonder why razrs differ so much. Some get a cracked screen by just sitting on the table. One verizon store rep used to throw RAZR to the wall to prove its rigidness.

I love Motorola because of their quality. I know software updates are late and bad, but I realised making calls and having a great quality device is more important than ICS.
Meanwhile I dropped my first RAZR on the dance floor and someone stepped on it and it broke.
Your lucky. My 4 months old Razr Xt910 has been to service centre to fix audio issue. LOL.
How on Earth did you leave your phone on the hood of your car? Why was it there in the first place? Do you not have pockets? A purse? The inside of a car to put it in? Put it in a cupholder if you need somewhere to drop it.
I've never understood people that put things on top of their car. I'd never put something that could potentially scratch patch on top of a $30k-$150k+ investment. I also don't understand how people can eat in their cars though...so maybe I'm not the one to comment.

Not everyone is like you Mr.Perfect. I put my DROID charge and nexus s on top of the trunk lid of my second car and I was washing the first one. My brother decided to move my second car and get something from the garage. He was backing up and pressed the brakes hard. I heard like something fell on the ground and remembered that I had phones there. I wanted to get angry but it was no ones fault. I did not know that he would be moving the car and he did not know that I put the phones there. Luckily only couple dings and screens are in one piece.

I have two kids ages 5 and 3 that I needed to make sure were strapped into the booster seats. I set my phone on top of the car just to free my hands for a second. Yeah I admit that it was a scatter brain moment, but crap happens. I just got lucky this time, thought it made for an interesting story.

30-150k dollar investment how ****ing rich are you the car I'm driving right now I paid 3800 dollars for, last one I paid 2500 dollars for, hell the most I've spent on a car in 11 years was 7k dollars.
To the OP my sister has 4 girls ages 1.5-11 so I get the part about the scatter brain but if you know you got to deal with kids why wasn't your phone in your pocket to begin with?
Stuff happens I had an archos 5 take a couple falls (all where slip out of hand or snagged headphones pulled off of counter) the one that finally claimed the 5 was a face first dive into the gravel driveway, and 2 days after I got my samsung galaxy player 4.0 it slipped out of my hand and went face first on the tile floor at walmart (no damage)
Yeah your really lucky i was really mad the first time my razr fell. i missed my pocket about 3 foot from the sidewalk and just completely shattered the screen, my htc evo was on another level durability wise compared to my razr.
Second day owning the phone and it's fallen off. Anyone else have this happen already? Kinda sucks but at the same time I feel relieved because it was annoying
Took mine off. Hated it.

It's pretty much on every Japan market smartphone. It helps make the phone splash-proof.
I like the idea with wireless charging. If you have to use usb though it sucks lol
Not an iPhone.....
I yanked the usb cover off the first time that I charged the phone..
Tapped from my HTC DNA
Don't see what the big deal is. It prevents dust from coming into my phone and makes it splash proof (not that its ever happens to me). But I see how this can be a downside for docking it with anything. If you like it keep it on... If you don't take it off, not a very hard choice.

hmm i think its because the internation version is waterproof but they decided to keep the flap on verizon?
I yanked mine off with a pair of pliers after I tried messing with it the first time. Aesthetically, no different really.

if u don't like it take it off.
it's bound to fall off eventually..
It is super annoying. But it's for water resistance.
I keep it hanging so I know which side is the bottom when I blindly reach for it. When I go near water I'm sure to close it. And when dust approaches I whip out a can of compressed air to blow it away.
it makes perfect sense because it comes with wireless charging so they close up the wired connection charge to prevent dust and stuff from getting in the USB port... I only remove it when I have to load something in fastboot/ transfer files... I could see it being annoying if you always had to use it to charge but the battery lasts me fine every day so far so I'm not reaching to bump charge very often
Mine didn't last very long. Broke off just the other day. No big deal.
I don't really have an issue with the flap. It gets annoying at times, but it doesn't seem like it will fall off on it's own, so ill keep it.
Mine broke in half the other day when I was opening it. Had to get some pliers to pull the remaining piece off.
Mine snapped off too. So I took the needle nose pliers and pulled it out but the back cover separated and now it creeks.

He pointed out the missing door for the usb! Uhmmm....let me talk to your manager dude. In the end it didn't matter but was entertaining.

Haven't broken the screen but the frame of this phone is crap coming from Motorola. It's hit the ground twice from less than 3 feet and has 3 rather large dents in the housing. Once was falling off the seat in my car to a rubber all season floor mat which shouldn't do crap but left a dent. I'll give samsung the nod on internal hardware but the chassis is awful. A friend of mine dropped his from about waist high onto the edge and shattered his screen.

I have a pretty extensive history with Motorola and have come to the same conclusion. I had my phone on my bed and accidentally dropped my belt on the top right corner of the phone and it left a noticeable indention. I immediately went out and bought a case for the phone even though I've never worried about one with any previous phone.

wow that looks like a good case
I carry my new phones around like they're a newborn child, won't put it in a pocket that has anything else in it or near the desk/nightstand edges. It's all about minimizing risks - like not trying to carry too many things at once.
With that being said, there's a 100% chance I'll drop this phone at some point. My GS3 survived a couple major drops with a few small dents in the corner .... as much as I like the look/feel of the GS4 a million times more than the GS3, I feel like the reduced bezel size and straight/rigid edges won't be as durable.
Get a case guys!

Not at all. Been 2 years since I've dropped one. It's a little weird but I get kind of attached to technology and take care of it. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want a single scratch on my phone and I hate cases so I just don't drop anything and nothing belongs in my right pocket but my phone

I just got a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. It's slim and sexy, but now I'm concerned it won't offer much protection for anything but the shortest falls. I'll have to check out this one.
I got mine on release day, and haven't dropped it once. I carried it for a few days with no case to enjoy the slim profile of the phone. Bought an Incipio case for it and seems to do the job. Of course like I said... haven't dropped it. I plan on picking up that Neo Hybrid as well, its gorgeous! :good::highfive:
While placing my 6P flat on my desk I noticed it isn't siting flat. I can push on the top left corner and it raises the bottom right corner. Anyone else notice any sort of bending / warping? does it with or without case.
Phone still works but makes me question the build quality. Guess I'm too used to Moto's durability..

I have a SLIGHT warp on the bottom right of the phone. I called Huawei about it and they said it was covered by the manufacturer warranty. In my case it's not really that bad so I have no reason to RMA. But I will should it get worse. So far it hasn't.

Well you might have some luck with that, be very very careful doing that. That's a quick way to get a cracked screen. I know Gorilla Glass has a lot of flex in it and isn't the most brittle thing in the world, but it's still glass. Just my two cents, I haven't had this issue, but I will be keeping an eye on it as well.

I have done it at least 10 times now
I push very gently, no way the screen can crack with this little force GG4 is much more flexible tha n GG3 so should be OK

That is the main reason I'm thinking of returning mine. My first 6P bent around the power button. My replacement has been fine, I've kept it in the speck case Google sells, but still a phone( metal or not) shouldn't warp from being used or being stored in the front pocket. Should we really be having to un-warp our phones? It's not normal.

It's been discussed in other bend treads.
Seems like all of them are like that. You can make it straight by pushing it opposite way.
Happens to me after keeping the phone in front jeans pocket.
Happened when tried to take a spigen case off.

My 6P is perfectly flat when face down on a granite countertop with no case.
If this was the iPhone that bent like this, alot of the android fan boys would be up in arms saying how much apple sucks, but since it's android we are willing to unbend our phones. Doesn't make alot of sense
I know it doesn't.
But comparing the way iPhone bent to Nexus is a bit different. Iphone bent quite badly. To be honest if my screen protector didn't peel on one side when I took my phone out of the pocket I would never thought to check if its bent lol
It does not affect everyday use by any way. Nor you can see it.
Note: it was first couple of hours since protector was applied that's why it peeled. Doesn't happen anymore
Saying that all are like that I meant they all prone to that slight body movement.

exactly. enough said.
This is unacceptable, and we shouldn't be okay with it, or accepting it.
I mean it's a great looking phone, but by no means is the build quailty great. Kinda of like IKEA stuff, looks good, but not really that strong.
i noticed mine had a slight torque to it. it hasn't bothered me enough to do anything about it. i'm thinking one week before the protect expires i'll be buying a $79 N6P.

Using it now
My OnePlus One is also warped like this, in fact I have had 2 OPOs, and both have done this.

Then upload a 5 seconds video showing the issue you have.
I'm not saying I have an issue! Nowhere do I say that. The previous 6P I had was bent around the power button, which I took photos of in another thread on this forum. I'm saying that alot of folks are complaining About the softness of the metal , which I have experienced first hand, which is also why I use the speck case now and I'm saying that it's not right that this phone is so soft. Check the other threads and you will see my photos.

So it didn't make a difference to your phone then in reality?

I don't know if my OPO was slightly bend. Never looked for it and never checked.
That's what I meant before, most people don't even know their phone is slightly bend cause they don't look for it. They don't notice it since it does not affect everyday use
