Hey guys, I've got a Lumia 800 and I love it. Apart from one thing: My USB/Charge flap keeps falling off when open, i.e. when charging. It literally falls off if you turn the phone upside down.
It's been doing this since I took it out the box from new (about a month ago). Also when it's closed it doesn't sit flush with the rest of the body but rather sits slightly pronounced
I've watched a few of the "How to replace Lumia 800 USB flap" videos but everyone else seems to be able to take off the flap by pulling hard and then replacing it by puching it back onto the pivot softly until it clicks. Mine doesn't click, and if I were to push any harder it most certainly would break.
Has anyone else got this issue or should I send it off for repair?
I've attached some pics just to see iv it varies from what a normal "functioning" flap looks like.

It is not normal, you should send it off for replacement.

when I got it, there was none under it.. two weeks later, there's a speck of noticeable something (dust?) under the screen now. It wasn't there prior to this. how the hell does it get there?
Sent from my HTC EVO View Tablet
any photos?
Through the open ports on any device. Headphone, charging port, etc. Some devices are built a bit more stuffed inside, so harder for dust to get very far inside. Others have a bit more wiggle room, so dust finds its way to the screen.

see that white speck that's not in line with those other dots that are part of the screen? that's it. that really sucks, because now it annoys the living hell out of me. why is HTC so bad with getting dust under the screen?!
I recently dropped my phone in water. Everything works except that my screen has a bunch of blue lines across it. Every now and then they will get thicker and then thin out. I've opened it up and cleaned the terminals that connect the lcd to the motherboard with alcohol but no avail. What should I do now

Sounds like the lcd is damaged unfortunately. Try taking out the battery and sticking the whole thing in a bag of dry rice for a couple of days. This will absorb the water still stuck in the areas you can't get to. If that fails, you are looking at a new lcd, which will run you around $100. Good luck buddy!
The dry rice in a bag method worked for my son's phone last year. He dropped it in fresh water of course. Salt water would = phone death ;-)
Hey guys this is how i quickly fixed the creaky back battery cover on my indcredible 4g lte. All you need is post it notes and any tape, i used blue masking tape. At first i tried placing pieces of paper on the edges because the lower two corners of the phone were making this annoying sound whenver i held it, but this was no permanent fix as they fell out whenever opening the cover. Also there were creaks on the little area under the volume rocker. All of these area are now fixed and no creaks at all. Now phone feels more dense, although no weight added, just like my og incredible and incredible 2. Also if you are ever in dire need of a postit note you can impress anyone by busting one out from your phone. Droid Does!

Hopefully it worked for you, if you have any questions i will do my best to answer them.
I dropped my phone (probably for the first time in the 8 months that i'm using) from a 0.5m heigth or something like that, and my screen just pop out of the phone, i can feel that there's a magnet trying to hold the screen but it's just too weak that it can't hold anymore, i don't know if it was part of the fall damage, or if it was happening for a while, and i just didn't realized cause my case had been holding the screen on the place (cause it can hold it still now).
It's a weird problem that i've never seen before, but everything still works normally if i use the case or don't turn the phone down. Maybe in a future fall the cable that connects the screen in the body breaks, so i'll try to be even more careful

Edit: I took it to an service center and they put a glue on it, they said that sometimes it happens with different devices, so maybe it just was bad luck
I'm nearly sure no water has gotten near this charging port, what happened was I tried to use another charger and it would charge for me, then I put the old charger back in and then this message popped up, iv used a hair dryer for like 5 mins on it, and still showing up
I can remove the message by force closing Android system, then I reset phone, and still the same,
Any clues? Or just wait it out?

Defective brick or cable? Use the one that works.
The Samsung 25w brick/cable are cheap and long lived. Using them makes troubleshooting much easier... I have three, the oldest is will be 4yo in October, still A-OK.
When It happened on my device it was because some dirt or fluff got lodged in. I used straw, in absence of canned air, to blow it out
