Is there an easier way to pull the battery??? PLEASE HELP!!

[jaylan222]

WOW... I am having the HARDEST time pulling the freggin battery.  I always need to grab a knife or some durable, thin object to PRY the battery out....  and it is ruining the outside cover of the battery when i do that......

PLEASE HELP because this is frustrating me....

.... there is no "pull tab" there.....lol... any other suggestions?

Why do you keep needing to pull the battery?  Why don't you just turn off/ turn on?

... Sometimes my Droid just "freezes up"...and I try to power it off but it is frozen and won't even do that... so, i do the infamous "battery pull" in order to get it to "un-freeze"........ughhh..... anyone have any solutions?

Yes there is. Though you may have pulled it off before you installed the battery. I opend the  phone and a little tab said pull, so I proceded to start pulling tryiing to get it out. Then I realized it was the battery pull tab.

Yeah... My girlfriend took out that piece, and tossed it.

And that has the ESN and everything on it.

Yeah, its a pain at first, but it seems to get easier each time you do it.
