Verizon's Droid is a very capable smartphone, but a loose battery cover makes mobile life with some models less than ideal. A small screwdriver tweak, however, appears to repair the problem.


As demonstrated in the video above, the fix shouldn't take more than a minute, or a few minutes, if you're being very careful. It's basically just pushing in a bit on a small metal piece that, when too far out, makes it easy for your battery to slide right off. You'll want to be careful, of course, and especially with your SIM card so close by, but if you've had the unpleasant experience of a falling battery cover, this fix might just be what the (DIY) doctor ordered.
