Squeaky Battery Cover/Spacebar, my easy fix

[Kamokazi]

Hi Guys....I got sick and tired of the squeaky battery cover/extra click spacebar that plagues the Verizon (and Sprint?) versions of the phone, so I came up with a pretty easy fix. It's not perfect, but it seems to work quite well for now.

All you need is a mini post-it note. Or a full post-it note and scissors. Actually just about any piece of paper will work.



Basically just fold it up like so...fold it into thirds long-ways, sticky side up. Then fold it into thirds short-ways, also with the sticky side up. The stickiness helps hold it in place when you close it up.



Next, turn off your phone, and take out the battery. Place your folded post-it on the SIM card like so:



Now just close it up. It will take an extra bit of effort aligning the cover, but it will now have a firm fit on the squeak side, and the squeak is gone. I just put it on today, but it seems to work great for now.

I was hoping they would fix this on the TP2, but nice to know your workaround works. I'll have to give that a shot.
