    I remember times when replacing a battery in a phone was just pop out the back cover, remove the old battery, put in the new battery, put the back cover on, done.

    Just managed to complete this repair! I had a terrible time getting the battery power connector plugged back in. I believe this was partly due to the battery not being perfectly vertically lined up when I stuck it back in which meant the power connector was being strained at a weird angle. The screen gasket was also very fiddly, I think I managed to get it reasonably down but I will no longer think of this phone as being anywhere close to water proof, especially because the kit does not come with the speaker gasket.

      You are never alone now. And people "might" know what you do and what your children are doing. They can TALK to them. Give them commands. Theoretically. (EFF is the source for this comment.)
      In phones - "Phone Bloks" was the thing. But it was in the hands of the industry. They don't want to give people the opportunity to customize. And ("metal bucket - tinfoil" argument is not valid, we are talking about Devices, when we put devices inside us we will think even more about it, seriously. Pacemakers? Updates for them? Vibrators? Sleep-aids?) There should be all-open-sourced hardware: printers, 3d-printers, milling machines, phones, whatever else we have. Some "small millions" want that.

    My main problem is replacing the adhesive strips. I've changed out the display on another phone and used "high quality" adhesive strips to only have them start failing and collect dust on them which eventually lead to the screen coming off around the corners. I had to go back, replace it, and add additional liquid glue used for ceramics. Still, this makes the phone no longer water resistant.

      Funkentelechy agreed but he doesn’t like Apple and disses them whenever he can. The screen is literally just as easy to replace in the iPhone’s as it is in the Nokia (or whichever it was)
      But he won’t say that.
      The only time I’ve actually heard him say anything good about Apple is when he was doing drop tests to the XS and the glass never cracked no matter how many times he dropped it, and that impressed the hell out of him.
      Not sticking up for Apple as the whole back glass not being replaceable is ridiculous, just trying to be fair to Apple that’s all
      There some things about how it’s made that are really good

What he doesn't mention is unlike other phones where you have to repair them yourself or trust some half baked corner phone repair place, Apple has technicians that fix their phones. This DIY repair BS is dumb... It costs exactly $69 to have this done by Apple ($0 with AppleCare) and that's probably less than you'll spend on the crap battery and tools to do this. Not to mention the cost of repairing damage you do to the phone like destroying the QI charger like she did in the video.

    Does it mean after replacing new battery the battery health function will disappear?
