Fix creaking or loose battery door

[Devo_]

I noticed that the battery door on my nexus seemed to creak and move when pressed on right below the camera. Here's an easy fix I've used in other devices: line the back of the battery door with painters tape. Simple as that hope this helps a few of you guys!

Sounds like a good and easy fix. Guess I'm lucky enough to not have the same problem

I was thinking of doing something similar if the problem got worse

I'm "glad" to hear that it was not me causing the problem with the back cover of my Galaxy Nexus. It was a bit difficult to take off the cover for the first time (when I was putting in the battery) and I was worried that I might damage it. Apparently the not perfectly fitting battery/back cover is a generic problem with this model. It's a shame considering how much the phone costs. :-(

Using painters tape will only fix the creaking, but the cover will still stand out half a mm (at least compared to the camera lens edge). What if I used a very thin double sided tape? Could it pull the cover in sufficiently so it would firmly sit in its place? :-o Of course this would mean that if I had to take off the cover for some reason later on (eg. to replace the SIM card), I would most probably have to replace the tape for a new one. Not a big problem if the double sided tape works at all (as I hope it might).
