I have the same problem with my Axim, I thought it was just the cheap plastic back that was causing the problem but now have to agree with another poster that it is the sensor being finicky.
Does anyone know just where the sensor is so that I can attempt to either bypass it or make it less sensitive?

I have the same problem. Its from an over sensitive switch. You arent actually opening the battery case you are pressing against it. This triggers the switch and makes it think you are taking the battery latch off. I haven't actually tried it but you could open up the Axim and cut the cable going to that sensor/switch?

Are you talking about a Dell Axim X51V (15 years old) or some other device?
Guesses: broken digitizer, broken battery lock switch
Try the suggestions below
The Application you are trying to use could have been designed only to open in the portrait mode rather than in the landscape hence its refusal to open in the kandescape.....
On the left side of the pda is a little slide button with a lock symbol on it, make sure it is slid down. This button is a key/screen lock to ensure you dont push any buttons accidentally.
try to use the warranty of your dell 1525 contact dell wireless dep at 1-800-822-8965 ex 7246008 this is for dell corporate business dep // or if your under consumer dep. dial 1-800-624-9896 ex 69219
Here are some photo's of the before & after showing where the sponge will be when your Dell PDA is faulty (not booting up or battery latch warning messages & where it needs to be repositioned to, the photo's should be self explanatory, I used some double sided tape to refix the sponge but super glue might work but don't blame me if it runs into the latch mechanize & gluing it up for ever, this does really work & better than messing about with the PCB. I have posted more details on this forum just search for the title ""Why do I get a battery latch open warning Axim x51v"
Thats an easy one, simply uninstall your active sync reboot with axim of cradle then install newest version here :

I have the same problem. I've found that the Innopocket magnum case will hold the cover in place and pretty much stop it doing this. Unfortunately, the case won't fit if you have an extended battery.
I've tried taping down the cover with some success, but the hard case worked better.
