If you want the distance front to back to be perfect just take a piece of black electric tape and line up with the center of the reset and carefully put your cover back on and mark it even with the tape. Then measure up from the edge to get the center going up. Too easy.

i dont understand, there is already a softreset option when you press and hold the power button lol, why drill a hole

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal
 

You drill a hole to access the button in case your phone & your power button lock up and wont respond.

LOL, nice! I was thinking of doing this the other day when I had to reset my phone. I have a Verizon phone and its the same thing, no hole for reset. This is the perfect fix! I'm not doing mine with a drill press though, just a handheld cordless.

I was going to do this - I even bought a spare back in case I messed up then I got the Rhodium Keyboard remapper by Tarkim and used it to program FN + Enter to reboot the device. No need for a hole now I reset from the keyboard.

My hat's off to you, very awesome.

sometimes the phone locks up and becomes unresponisve so that wouldnt work in that case hence the reason for the hole

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal
 

great job, now if i only knew how to drill:(, for those that still dont get why we need the reset button, sometimes phone will freeze up so badly that nothing responds, not screen, not hardware buttons and not keyboard. The only way to reset in that case is either by taking out the battery or pressing the reset button. Has anyone attempted to get hole for microsd card?

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal
 

Anyone think about slicing a slot for the microSD card in the battery cover?

You can also use masking tape to get a better drill result. This has been done to other phones as well like the Treo's. Good job on this one!
