Any tricks on removing the E7's battery quickly? It would be nice to drop in a spare battery in an emergency.
I've heard about using a Torx driver to loosen the bottom plate on the N8, but the E7 has no exposed screws at all.
E7 battery removal
There's a screw under the HDMI flap. That might be a good place to start.
Yup, you have to remove the HDMI screw, another one next to it, two screws under the bottom cap, and half the phone! 😉 It really isn't meant for the average user to go digging around in there. It's a pity you can't just unscrew the bottom plate to get to the battery like with the N8. Guess I'll have to get a spare charging battery.
I found the service manuals here: http://www.filesonic.com/file/287492674/Nokia_E7-00_SM_L12_L34_SCH.rar
This should help you change the battery...
Took me a few takes but I got there in the in end...
