hey guys
i luv this phone exept one thing really pissing me off is the battery cover
whenever i squeeze it makes squeeking sounds
and it feels really loose
is their anyway to make it seem more hard/not squeeky
I have had two of these phones now and have not had this problem. Have you had it a long time and is it worn?

I've had three of these and all except this one have the problem. Are you using the anker battery by any chance?

I have an Anker battery in my phone and I don't have that problem.
No squeaks here.

Ya I've had 2 of these phones and they both squeek like hell n I do have. Anker

When you're typing, right? And it seems to be coming from the closest edge to the space bar, where your fingers support the phone? I think it's a combination of the anker battery being too thick and the battery cover curving the wrong way.

Ditto.
Do you guys with squeaks have cases on your phone? I'd guess not (but could be wrong) and while an imperfect solution maybe a case of some sort would alleviate some of the issue?

I don't use a case. That theory doesn't work.
Exactly what I was thinking, but so far haven't found one with the profile I prefer yet.

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops
Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

I got two of the Anker 2025's, and am pretty happy with them. But, I wanted something I could grab between work meetings, etc. These batteries are stable and cheap, around the same amount of run time as the stock battery
If you're looking for something that offers more talk time I'd go for the nexus battery

Before I upgraded to ICS, call echoing would not exist. Now, whenever I call someone they complain about an echo unless I take the phone out of the case. I have tried an Otterbox, two different Casemate Pop cases and a silicone case, all with the same issue. I am on stock everything. Any fixes?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You might try a really thin TPU case. You can find some good-quality ones for ~$10 on Amazon. I got a decent (but thick) TPU from Amazon for $3 a few weeks back. If it really just doesn't work and it's definitely the case causing it, maybe try something like Ghost Armor?

I can't see how the only fix is to root. It simply doesn't make sense to me. It's like telling someone to bring 10 buckets of water to put out a lit match.

Bigger hole. That's actually a good suggestion. I've got a couple of these case mates lying around so I'll give it a try.

Why the objection to rooting? A few tweaks or a custom ROM might fix you right up. Otherwise, yeah, try that Ghost Armor stuff, cut a bigger hole in the case or learn to live with it. Returning to stock is easy, and flash counters can be reset...

Multiple reasons.
1) I'm too intimidated by reports of people getting bricked and having to factory reset
2) This is my only android device plus my only means of contact so I'm not willing to even experiment with something I don't know
These may seem like stupid reasons because everyone here is a root user, but I'm someone who usually manages to mess up every piece of technology I touch, either software or hardware wise. I've had this phone for 6 months without even one scratch on the screen, so I'm doing surprisingly well by my standards.

I'm on stock ICS rooted and I get the same issue but only when i'm on speaker phone and my case is a Otterbox defender.
I haven't tried any other case because I haven't seen any with a belt clip as yet.

I noticed that when I partially cover the bottom mic with the case off I get the echo. So I'm gonna take illnevertell's advice and cut a larger hole for the mic.

Well ever since I got my HTC Evo Shift used I've had the keyboard slide very hard and my friends slides smoothly but mine doesn't, any ideas on how to get this to work smoother? Thanks!
Usually from what I've found it's just a matter of them wearing in.
Or being dropped, I got a doubleshot that's going in the mail today that just came back from HTC and its omg so smooth. Mine on the other hand has been dropped about 80 times, and is tough as nails.

Another thought is...perhaps you still have the protective stickers on the unit?
sometimes those can cause drag.

My shift has those same scratches on the back. It slides smoothly now. Dunno what happened. My dads phone gets hard to slide when grains of sand get in there.
Edit: neither of our phones have ever had cases.

I use the sedio active htc evo shift case..best and most gorgeous case ever. Slick, and form fit..better protection than the otterbox imo. no offense *g
Comes in multiple colors. I went for the sapphire blue..it matches the awesome color the shift is; it is one of the things I had appreciated about the shift when I purchased it.
Worth looking into for any efficient auto out there. !

This probably has been posted, any who. Has anybody gotten another battery? If so from where? Cause I've seen the ones on amazon are like. $10, and Samsung sells them for $40. So if anybody can point me where to buy a replacement battery, I'll be thankful. My battery drains without usage.. it doesn't matter if it has NFC BTW.
