And you had to make really sure that the battery was completely secured when you replaced it. There was even a warning on the screen.

Making sure a rear cover has snapped into place is much less prone to failure than acquiring tools and applying heat to a glued on rear cover, de-soldering/disconnecting a battery and evenly re-applying and heating new glue.
