Most every electronic device allows you to buy a new battery and easily install. My car does, all my flashlights do, my server does, my pen light does, my house does, my garage lights, bathroom lights etc. Yet somehow we have lost the ability to easily change a battery in a phone. Hmmm Wonder why? They have brainwashed people into thinking "Hey I need a new phone because the battery is bad" lets fill up more dumps with electronics for the sake of a battery that was engineered to not be easily changed.
How is this not easy? I've changed batteries on all different kinds of phones around my town as a side-business. It's not difficult. Heck, it's not even time consuming. Phones today are only slightly more time consuming because now they have an adhesive seal to prevent water from getting into the device. I mean, you're literally complaining on a video that shows you step by step how to replace the battery. It's not that hard. By the way, many cars are now using a "programmable" battery with a chip that modulates the power usage to extend the lifetime of the battery and notify the user of any fluctuations. These are not your typical bottom barrel commuter cars, however, the technology will eventually trickle down into commuter cars as well.

Excellent guide, I used 0.2mm double sided tape for the battery and T-7000 for the back cover, I don't have wireless charger so I don't know if I messed it up, but the rest is working fine, success.
Just followed these instructions. Things went well, though I scattered a corner of the back of my phone due to incorrect tools, but my case covers it anyway. My phone is now charging. I'm excited to see how well the new battery works. Thank you for the instructions.
You will likely compromise the adhesive seal enough that the phone will no longer be water proof. It's best, and cheap, to buy new adhesive to get a good seal. Unless you don't care if it's waterproof, then just heat the glue up and stick the original back on there...
Thanks for informative video, just done mine! Got slow and half a day battery after just over a year of heavy use. Take your time, go careful, more delicate than iPhone removals. Getting the back off here is the hardest part! I used limited tools I had at home, used a needle to get in then followed that with iSesamo and small crosshead driver! Once back off don't jolt or move back until fingerprint scanner unplugged or you'll snap it. Just like the iPhone touch ID i doubt it replaceable because of security features!
What adhesive did you use to install back the rear cover? Can you recommend any brand for the adhesive and for a spare battery? I saw on Aliexpress some place selling a 4100mah battery for pixel 3xl..
@@Rudyaero You can buy premade adhesive on eBay separately or mine was included with a rear glass replacement I purchased (tried to jerryrigeverything the rear glass, smashed after 2 days lol)
There are four pins connecting the wireless charger to the phone acting like springs against the wireless charger . When you removed the battery you probably crushed them down. You can take a little screwdriver and raise them gently. To locate them, from the above video at 2:32, take the screw hole number two, go to the right and when you reach the edge of the printed circuit board (the green thing) just before reaching the battery, they are just a few Millimeter up.
Cathgrebs description is totally correct. Worked perfect to restore wireless charging for me. Take note that the 4 pins actually look ok....BUT when you use a jewelry screwdriver and pull them up a bit, they actually kind of spring up like they go on a high reset mode for the contacts to click down onto them. so RESET each little spring loaded contact (really tiny(
If anyone's watching this in 2021, for a phone purchased late 2019ish. Your adhesive is likely to the point of crazy glue, no amount of heat will release it. I just broke my rear panel trying to get it off; either get a spare panel or get someone professional to do this whole thing. Honestly not worth the headache, now I'm left waiting for a replacement panel with a completely shattered rear panel expelling bits of glass into my pockets.
I built a saw with dental floss and two sticks for the handles. Then I sawed through the adhesive, beginning at the bottom of the phone. When I was around the middle of the phone, I was able to use my iFixit tools to open the rest properly.
Man, I was right there with you... but I kept at it and eventually after hours of trying, several blisters, and a lot of frustration, I got it off. What worked for me was applying heat (hair dryer) and suction (ifixit suction cup) at the same time, not heat-then-suction, and it didnt look like there was any gap but I tried one of those guitar pick spudgers while heating and suctioning and managed to get it in there and start cutting the adhesive.
This might sound dumb but I've never used the wireless charging feature on my phone and I probably won't anytime soon, so if I hypothetically replace the battery without putting the wireless charging module back in its place will anything change with the phone?
I was thinking about the same question dude. I don't have any information however but I think if we don't replace it, nothing happens. Did you try on your own? Tell us if you do but in the video the guy start the phone to check the battery and the phone works and the wireless is not on. So I guess it is ok.
Anioed I did the same thing the guy did in video: I checked the battery without putting the wireless charging module back. When I put the back cover back on using new double sided adhesive it didn’t apply correctly so I might remove the back cover today and apply the tape again and while I’m doing that I’ll just remove the wireless charging
@@BizlaC I honestly don't even remember why I was curious about that 😂 I ended up putting the wireless charging module back in the phone after my second comment so my question ended up being kinda pointless lol
The black tape on the battery that he removes at 0:59 seems to have melted for me because only the top half that doesn't cover the battery is visible, the bottom part is non-existent on my phone, is it necessary to have?
After changing my battery, I broke a small piece off of the wireless charger and the fingerprint reader cable. Both of which I intend to eventually repair. However, my phone will not load the software at boot. Any idea why? Nothing else broke at all.
You are definetly using a charger which is way too powerful for that battery! Check the specific requirements for the battery / your phone. Quick chargers quickly destroy them.

@@crathgeb This helped me out a lot. Only problem I ran into was that I had 2 pins bent and when I went to push them back, as carefully as I possibly could with a tiny precision screw driver, they broke off. in my case these pins had become extremely brittle. Luckily I was able to put 2 dabs of solder on each contact point at the same height as the undamaged pins and all seems to be well again.
assuming the problem isnt with the battery itself, maybe you didn't clip the battery cable back on the motherboard properly when swapping. the clip is really, really small.
Ok let me tell ya. Even if you are a DIY person....This is electronics. It's a complete different ball game. You need lots of patience, knowledge and prayers. Pay someone to change your battery on a $1000 phone. It's not worth the risk.

Good instructions. I followed them and it was pretty easy, no damage. I did, however, lose the wireless charging functionality, not sure how.

What kind of adhesive should I use? The tap one? Or glue one? Is it just cover the side of the case or overall case

If I remove this back cover I will need to replace the adesive or this one is reusable?

Not necessarily true. I used a heat gun and had no issues. It is probably really hard without a heat gun though.
if you use a heat gun it softens pretty fast just make sure you do not overheat your phone.
After battery replacement, is the pixel 3 still Waterproof?
no -> you removed the adhesive from the sides
@@Flameedima however you can buy new adhesive
It's waterproof if you replace the adhesive seal after replacing the battery which is extremely inexpensive.
the back cover is made of glass and breaks really easy. I now have a brand new battery and a completely broken back cover :(
Google did that on purpose to force you into buying new phones

Be careful of the camera wire when prying the back panel off guys!
How often will I have to replace the battery? My S6 requires a battery change every 2-3 months and I'm sick of it.

Should last for around 1000 cycle

Is the waterproofing diminished after this type of swap?
Yes. Unless you do a really good job removing and then re-applyinng new adhesive - the phone is no longer water proof.
@@theagent578 Just use grey ductape to re water proof :)
