I did this today, video was a great help! Tip to anyone doing this: be sure to calibrate your battery after installing the replacement. 1. Charge uninterrupted to 100% and charge for around 30 minutes to an hour extra 2. Run down to near 0% battery with normal use 3. Charge back to 100% uninterrupted and leave for an hour extra charging This just allows the software on your phone the calibrate to the new battery and monitor how much power it has left accurately :)
@@rayruiz1172 nah, the phone software must just calculate how much Wh does the battery actually have (it measures the consumption all the time and combines it with measured time). Charging it for x hours wouldn't do anything as it doesn't allow it to measure the max disacharged Wh
I've done many battery replacements.This is a good tip but from my experience just charging to 100 and using to near 0 is fine and the phone will adapt to normal as you use the phone
I'm not Samsung certified or by no means a phone expert but in my experience a battery that is near end of life usually doesn't hold a charge. Most certified refurbished companies will test the batteries to make sure they hold at least 80% charge before shipping. If it goes below that it's going to degrade rapidly. If it's holding a full charge you should have some life left
Yeah, I had a bit of a change of heart too. Not quite as bad as I thought the worst scenario could be, but still a bit of a risky pain in the rear. To me it looked kinda like you may not need to take that speaker/shroud part off at the bottom so if not, I'm hoping to skip that part. If I ever change it now, I think I'll try it myself as the battery was only around AUD$18 on Ebay & I recently got quoted AUD$350 At a vendor/repairer in a shopping mall. I'd had 3 deterioration messages(s10) & at least one on my s7, & multiple overheats some time before that on both phones. All after I started playing fishland & farmland on Temu. Those bl00dy stupid games are so processor inefficient they heat the phone up fast to crazy amounts especially when your phone is trying to do other stuff simultaneously. To anyone reading this: if you want to play those games on your s10 or s7, (& pobably the s8 & s9 too) practice these 5 things to preserve your battery: --- Always play with power saver on as it will limit your Cpu to 70% --- Don't have a miniplayer video going from any app while your playing --- don't be fast charging while playing. --- Have it out of it's case wherever practical while playing as heat can dissipate quicker that way. --- Try to not have the screen brightness over ⅔ to ¾.

Yeah so half of these steps I won't be doing, my battery overheated and all the adhesives came off, all of it. The back cover comes off easily, the plastic camera part connected to the back cover, the black piece he unscrewed is loose enough to bend back.. pretty sure when I get my battery tomorrow it will only be take the battery out, as it's already falling out on own, reconnect flex cable to new battery and then lastly... see if the battery comes with an adhesive to glue everything... I will also perhaps test my phone and turn it on before i glue it all up. Super hope the battery has been the issue. It seems my s10 didn't like to have nearly 100% storage capacity used, and using everyday all day having all my apps, social media etc, open. I'd like to get a phone that can handle the amount of things I do on it... but im hoping my s10 will be able to with the new battery. It's hard to decide what I want to delete but I'll try and delete some stuff, well thats what I'm saying but I've said that a hundred times before so.... 128 gb just isn't enough for me (I forget how much of that comes free though, a percent is already being used by the software)
@@thesatelliteoverhead6776 same goes for me, the back cover of my s10 comes out very easily with very low force.. did you find a battery that has already adhesive or not? If not how you glued it?
Here's a tip, if you don't have a hot plate or a heat gun: just boil some water in a small pot, put a ceramic plate on the pot and leave it boiling. It will heat up to almost 100 degrees C, so you can put the phone on the plate for a couple of minutes and have the adhesive soften. Works like a charm!
Great tip. I was considering using a sealed polythene bag with hot water in it (tricky to do but possible), but the ceramic plate on a pan of water is much better!
Ah! Nice tip! I'm debating on trying it but the battery is so horrible I can barely get through a day and even on airplane mode it is losing charge so fast. I really hate to upgrade either I grow very attached to my phones 😅
I bought both back glass and battery when I changed my old battery. The back glass is cheap and comes with new adhesive. The video made the battery swap an easy task for me.

Thanks for the video, this is my first phone with a "non user replaceable battery". I was worried about having to do this someday seeing as how I usually keep my phones 3-5 years but your video put my mind at ease that it's not super complicated
@@chrisriani That's not complicated lol. You want complicated, replace a smartwatch battery, though some would even argue that's not complicated. It was for me though. This looks easy.

I actually wondered how phone repair shops get much business... obviously if they keep trying to make things as complicated as possible we will be going to pay the repair shops to do it but as long as it seems possible, I feel like only people that don't have a clue about technology and don't want to know will go there or people who don't like doing things themselves. If I break my phone doing this though... maybe I will start taking things to the shops
You made this SO EASY. Thank you for posting! There were some plastic strips along the edges of the replacement battery, and I wasn't sure what to do with them. I ended up taking off the ones on three sides, but left the one at the top. Also, I was really careful to align the little plug pin correctly, you know, that thingy that connects the battery to the phone's guts. When it was properly aligned, it set right in. (I had to use a toothpick to help hold it). So, thank you again for posting. You made it so easy, even this old granny could do it, and I didn't have to go a whole day without my phone!
You're a granny and you did it? Amazing so techy. I'm glad for the advice about the flex cable I was wondering if that would be any trouble... I'm going to be replacing it tomorrow
@@xeneize285 Not really. People want all this bleeding edge technology in a thin package AND high water resistance. Tons of glue is the best way to protect all these sensitive components. For the battery itself some glue is necessary to hold it down but it shouldn't be hard to remove it. For the S10 I would say this is moderately difficult to replace. Some battery pull tabs would be nice. I think they did that for the new S23 series. I've seen iphones in the past that have batteries that are near impossible to replace even for professionals.
Now for the battery removal step - Keep calm. Since all my plastic tools were bending the battery instead of moving it, I ended up using an old sunglass lens - and it worked! It's sturdy and thin enough, plastic and its curve helps lift the battery. Thanks for the video!
I'm certain they can't guarantee any water resistance with a removable back. Each time you remove the back you would be getting less and less water resistance.
@@CarolinaMiC it's really sad to see Samsung slowly turn into the second Apple. I remember originally switching from an iPhone 3GS back in the days to a Galaxy Note 2 and the fact that I had expandable storage with the ablity to change battery so easily was such an astounding feature; I didn't want to go back cause it mean this phone would be so future-proof and it was, it lasted me like 5 years before the screen cracked. These days Samsung have taken note of planned obsolesence so much so that they now completely solidly glue the battery of the S10 in the phone in hopes that you don't try change batteries a year or two later (when they inevitably degrade because of battery chemistry) and instead you're forced to pay them for repairs (like the way you're forced to with apple cause they seal everything in) or even better for them, pay an exorbinant amount for their new flagship next year. I hate planned obsolesence with a passion.
@@MohammedYaseenAhammed235 ummm it probably doesn't cost that much for a battery replacement. Also, sealing the back means you wont be dropping another grand if your phone gets wet.
@@jasonguevara4857 If you flawlessly replace the adhesive then reheat it to settle it again, it can be, although it's very difficult to do and risky to test afterwards.
Thanks for the clear and detailed instructions. So many gloss over the the inportant details and leave you guessing, ending in broken ribbon cables or other damage!
@@fallspring1033 yeah, I was quite surprised after having only bought cheap phones for years when I finally got a good one and it didn't have the snap on/off back.
@@fallspring1033 for sure, you really shouldn't need to replace it unless you're over charging it or if there is a manufacturer fault, which is quite unlikely. If you do though, it's really not that hard, first time you may be a little worried because you wouldn't want to break your phone ofc but it's really quite simple.
See, I don't actually have a problem with the back cover being hard to take off because the battery popped it off for me already...when it swelled up due to being on my wireless charger all the time. Reason I had to use a wireless one was because Samsung made the charging port oversensitive to moisture, so even when there isn't even any there, it still gives me a notification that there is and won't let me use it. So I was forced to use a wireless one, and then, well, THIS happened. So it was either not use my phone at all because I can't charge it, or blow up the battery on a wireless charger. Hopefully when the new battery comes in from Amazon, it'll work and be easy to swap out. I bought two, just in case something like this happens again. But I'm not happy about having to do this in the first place, due to Samsung's incompetence with the charger.
i was thinking that. I rememebr when the battery used to be on the outside, and people would easily replace it. So Samsung immediately thought, lets make the battery even harder to replace now,. and they hide it right at the bottom too, under all that crap to put people off from replacing it. Greedy pricks
This isn't true. Yes, it's in a fairly confined space but the space still allows movement. This movement, constantly shaking around and slightly impacting the sidewalls of it's enclosure will cause the battery to swell.
You are very clever to know how to do this without breaking things. WHERE did you get a replacement battery? Today (August 2019) NO. ONE sells these, so how did you find yours? And how much?
I changed it, thank you, the only issue I had was removing the battery, not sure how they glued it, I struggled to take it off. Finally I was angry and used metal to remove it, and caused small smoke. I stopped it instantly, and it helped me though, to remove it, but don't use metal to remove battery, it may explode.
Wont it be harder to remove the back of a ceramkc version because it is a bit heavier, this is either prism black or ceramic black ,i have the ceramic black version
5:23 not sure what is the point of removing this part (and unscrewing) since the battery can be replaced without touching this part. Otherwise, a very helpful video that helped me to change the battery. Thanks!
will i have a problem if my back glass has a small cracks in corner? or will it all come off with the cover no problem ? and i can feplace the glass with crazy adsasin weapon cheese grader rught lol
Wow, thanks for posting this it's nice to know what needs to be done to replace the battery in my phone. I am not a professional and this looks like a royal pain in the ass so I will have to pay a professional.
Should I put adhesive in front of the battery so it stays in place? I think thats what messed up the original battery it kept dropping to 0% and restarting even if I keep it on the charger .. thanks ..
my s10 went swimming and wont turn on, i have an old s10.. you think if i removed any corrosion and swapped the batteries it would turn on so i can get my data back?
@Serg Tech, Hi, you said there would be a link to buy the Samsung galaxy s10 battery? Cannot find it in description. Please update. Also update for samsugn galaxy s10e battery. thanks
Nobody sells these yet (August 2019), at least nobody i can find in the USA - I assume the aftermarket battery vendors still need more time to start making them. And seeing how the phone model has only been sold since June they probably don't even have much demand for replacement batteries just yet. If we change our batteries ourselves now, we'd void the warranty.
If you open the back cover like this, will the phone still be waterproof? I mean there is this adhesive, is it just to hold the cover or to seal the water?
Kinda of not really but I know that this helps 1000% clamp the phone or press really hard for 10 minutes on it when the glue is drying, maybe put like 3 books on top of it lol
Great tutorial! I'm just wondering why the black plastic in the area underneath the battery is also removed, it looks like the battery would come out without removing it?
hi serg phone man. i dropped my sansung in a puddle and the screen is half black. does this mean the battry is half working? like i can only see bottom half so cant play on it and am sad. where can i buy a better battry? i went to samsung shop, they tried to sell me the new phone because mine is out of warrenty or sth
i had no idea a tool kit and safety gloves would be required simply to begin the process - i think i will spend the time looking for a phone that doesn't require such effort
How long do you recommend leaving the phone on the hot plate at 100 degrees celcius for? Also the second part where you need to re-apply heat the screen to separate the battery adhesive, how long did you leave it on there? "once you feel the battery hot enough" isn't really a good enough considering how you're risking damaging the device. Finally where do you find new adhesive to apply to the fram of the phone to preserve waterproofing? @Serg Tech, please reply, i've seen others ask similar things and you have not responded.

You didn't need to remove the wireless charger adhesive at all, if you've removed all the tiny screws holding the 2 plastic covers. They can come off together. Also, very helpfully, all the screws are the exact same so you didn't need to worry about putting them back wrongly.

thanks bro you helped me a lot but you work way too fast for my speed.. no problem i was able to do it pretty easily. And i didnt even use heat but it's like 100 degrees here today so maybe it was a little soft anyway
Replaced a battery using your video. Hardest part was to wait for battery to charge to 100 before turning the phone on, to see if it works. So far so good. I used a wide pot of water with a plate over it. For 5 min. The whole case opened up right away.
No thank you but I do appreciate the knowledge your sharing, I just purchased a galaxy S10, my first galaxy S5 Active just died, yes an S5, since I will never do that, how would I find a shop that would
If I had seen this video before ordering the battery, I would have changed my mind. Getting the battery out was hard because the kit I had sent a metal prying tool and I was afraid to use it. Once I did the battery came out without a lot of force. Also, those screws are tiny, and my hands and eyes were not happy.
It's not waterproof anymore. I think there are some companies that sell new backs with adhesive on it but they are still not like the factory sends you
Yeah my battery has been draining a lot faster than it used to, cuz my phone is about 4 years old now. But I haven't reached the point yet where I am willing to become a tradesman to be able to replace a battery. Clearly Samsung just wants me to buy a new phone.

Tip to anyone doing this: be sure to calibrate your battery after installing the replacement.

Also, I was really careful to align the little plug pin correctly, you know, that thingy that connects the battery to the phone's guts. When it was properly aligned, it set right in. (I had to use a toothpick to help hold it). So, thank you again for posting. You made it so easy, even this old granny could do it, and I didn't have to go a whole day without my phone!
You're a granny and you did it? Amazing so techy. I'm glad for the advice about the flex cable I was wondering if that would be any trouble... I'm going to be replacing it tomorrow
damn..so complicated. I remember my galaxy s2. Just remove the back plastic cap, replace battery and put cap back. It took 2min.
Waterproofing changed that one
@@Skatted no it didn't s5 had a perfectly fine water protection with a removeable cover
@@Skatted Thats an excuse, the real one Is to avoid use if you lose the phone or its stolen
@@xeneize285
Not really. People want all this bleeding edge technology in a thin package AND high water resistance. Tons of glue is the best way to protect all these sensitive components. For the battery itself some glue is necessary to hold it down but it shouldn't be hard to remove it.
For the S10 I would say this is moderately difficult to replace. Some battery pull tabs would be nice. I think they did that for the new S23 series. I've seen iphones in the past that have batteries that are near impossible to replace even for professionals.
Now for the battery removal step - Keep calm. Since all my plastic tools were bending the battery instead of moving it, I ended up using an old sunglass lens - and it worked! It's sturdy and thin enough, plastic and its curve helps lift the battery. Thanks for the video!
I wish Samsung would bring back the removable back for super easy battery swap +++++
I'm certain they can't guarantee any water resistance with a removable back. Each time you remove the back you would be getting less and less water resistance.
@@CarolinaMiC They managed it with the S5 though, but I get your point.
@@tomkoppenatsch9355 fair enough.
@@CarolinaMiC it's really sad to see Samsung slowly turn into the second Apple. I remember originally switching from an iPhone 3GS back in the days to a Galaxy Note 2 and the fact that I had expandable storage with the ablity to change battery so easily was such an astounding feature; I didn't want to go back cause it mean this phone would be so future-proof and it was, it lasted me like 5 years before the screen cracked.
These days Samsung have taken note of planned obsolesence so much so that they now completely solidly glue the battery of the S10 in the phone in hopes that you don't try change batteries a year or two later (when they inevitably degrade because of battery chemistry) and instead you're forced to pay them for repairs (like the way you're forced to with apple cause they seal everything in) or even better for them, pay an exorbinant amount for their new flagship next year.
I hate planned obsolesence with a passion.
@@MohammedYaseenAhammed235 ummm it probably doesn't cost that much for a battery replacement. Also, sealing the back means you wont be dropping another grand if your phone gets wet.
Thank you much! I still have my galaxy s10 and was fearful I would have to replace it. Now I can keep my old trusted phone. Thank you!! ❤
It works. Just be extra careful when reassembling the phone. Make sure parts fit right and screws roll smoothly and all the way.
Thanks - our s10e is alive again. Great Video!
So how do you make sure the seal is good after you're done? Wouldn't you need to heat up the glue again and press to make sure no water gets in?
Once you remove the back cover it is no longer able to be water proof
@@jasonguevara4857 darn that sucks
@@jasonguevara4857 If you flawlessly replace the adhesive then reheat it to settle it again, it can be, although it's very difficult to do and risky to test afterwards.
Thanks for the clear and detailed instructions. So many gloss over the the inportant details and leave you guessing, ending in broken ribbon cables or other damage!
Glad it was helpful!
An easy removable backcover would be help! :)
I would have never bought this phone if I knew about the back cover. Shoulda done my homework! Kicking myself.
@@fallspring1033 yeah, I was quite surprised after having only bought cheap phones for years when I finally got a good one and it didn't have the snap on/off back.
@@bighead1602 I like the phone so far. Samsung Galaxy S10. I just hope I never have to have the battery replaced.
@@fallspring1033 for sure, you really shouldn't need to replace it unless you're over charging it or if there is a manufacturer fault, which is quite unlikely. If you do though, it's really not that hard, first time you may be a little worried because you wouldn't want to break your phone ofc but it's really quite simple.
See, I don't actually have a problem with the back cover being hard to take off because the battery popped it off for me already...when it swelled up due to being on my wireless charger all the time. Reason I had to use a wireless one was because Samsung made the charging port oversensitive to moisture, so even when there isn't even any there, it still gives me a notification that there is and won't let me use it. So I was forced to use a wireless one, and then, well, THIS happened. So it was either not use my phone at all because I can't charge it, or blow up the battery on a wireless charger. Hopefully when the new battery comes in from Amazon, it'll work and be easy to swap out. I bought two, just in case something like this happens again. But I'm not happy about having to do this in the first place, due to Samsung's incompetence with the charger.
5:18 The battery can be removed without removing the loudspeaker.
I was thinking this. Looked like there was no need to remove it to get the battery
The only reason to glue the battery down is to make it harder to replace. Its already in a tight confined space
i was thinking that. I rememebr when the battery used to be on the outside, and people would easily replace it. So Samsung immediately thought, lets make the battery even harder to replace now,. and they hide it right at the bottom too, under all that crap to put people off from replacing it. Greedy pricks
the end goal for the phone companies is to make u buy a new phone not replace anything hence why it is built like that.
Also, they don't want you to take the battery out so that Big Brother can track you 24/7
This isn't true. Yes, it's in a fairly confined space but the space still allows movement. This movement, constantly shaking around and slightly impacting the sidewalls of it's enclosure will cause the battery to swell.
Not exactly right. Still, Apple uses two adhesive stripes that can be pulled out a lot easier
Do they sell the adhesive? i dont trust reusing that for water resistance.
There's a company called Asesino that sells a whole new backing with fresh adhesive on it
@@MansoorAli-du9ld - Where..? Or, how to find them..?
So how do you glue it back on? With the old remnants that are still on there or a new specific glue?
These videos don't tell you as it's a trade secret for the most part hence why no one has responded to you
@@HAPPYSLAPS1 double sided adhesive... it's not rocket science
You are very clever to know how to do this without breaking things. WHERE did you get a replacement battery? Today (August 2019) NO. ONE sells these, so how did you find yours? And how much?
I changed it, thank you, the only issue I had was removing the battery, not sure how they glued it, I struggled to take it off. Finally I was angry and used metal to remove it, and caused small smoke. I stopped it instantly, and it helped me though, to remove it, but don't use metal to remove battery, it may explode.
Wont it be harder to remove the back of a ceramkc version because it is a bit heavier, this is either prism black or ceramic black ,i have the ceramic black version
5:23 not sure what is the point of removing this part (and unscrewing) since the battery can be replaced without touching this part.
Otherwise, a very helpful video that helped me to change the battery. Thanks!
will i have a problem if my back glass has a small cracks in corner? or will it all come off with the cover no problem ? and i can feplace the glass with crazy adsasin weapon cheese grader rught lol
Should you get a 5 year old original battery from 2019 for S10 or buy a new aftermarket battery?
R.I.P. IP68 certification
Great video tho, super simple steps and very well explained!
Thanks. Your video was easy to understand, visual and worked for me.
Quick question. I accidently bought an s10 plus battery, will it still work/fit in a regular s10?
Success & first time too. Brilliant video. Thanks for making & posting the video.
Wow, thanks for posting this it's nice to know what needs to be done to replace the battery in my phone. I am not a professional and this looks like a royal pain in the ass so I will have to pay a professional.
Should I put adhesive in front of the battery so it stays in place? I think thats what messed up the original battery it kept dropping to 0% and restarting even if I keep it on the charger .. thanks ..
Are those small Philips screws easily strippabIe?
thanks, very informative, hope I never have to do it but feel confident I can from watching this.
my s10 went swimming and wont turn on, i have an old s10.. you think if i removed any corrosion and swapped the batteries it would turn on so i can get my data back?
Is it becausey battery is bad that makes my phone hot while using it? It it doesnt charge with power bank well
@Serg Tech,
Hi, you said there would be a link to buy the Samsung galaxy s10 battery? Cannot find it in description. Please update.
Also update for samsugn galaxy s10e battery. thanks
Nobody sells these yet (August 2019), at least nobody i can find in the USA - I assume the aftermarket battery vendors still need more time to start making them. And seeing how the phone model has only been sold since June they probably don't even have much demand for replacement batteries just yet. If we change our batteries ourselves now, we'd void the warranty.
If you open the back cover like this, will the phone still be waterproof? I mean there is this adhesive, is it just to hold the cover or to seal the water?
I'm still using the S5 and waiting vor a Galaxy with classic removble backcover. GO SAMSUNG ! GO SAMSUNG! GO SAMSUNG GO!
That's stupid water resistance is a requirement and no one will make a removable back on a phone maybe ever
just buy an iphone it s the best trust
@@barosul9712 top ten funniest lies ever!

Hi, can I use heat gun that blows 350 degrees celzius air?
I think you should have replaced the back glass adhesive.
Thank you good sir! I managed to change the battery without bricking the phone.
Is it worth heating the phone again when reassembling it make it stick back together better?
Kinda of not really but I know that this helps 1000% clamp the phone or press really hard for 10 minutes on it when the glue is drying, maybe put like 3 books on top of it lol
Thank you.
New battery working great.
Great tutorial! I'm just wondering why the black plastic in the area underneath the battery is also removed, it looks like the battery would come out without removing it?
so is it not necessary to replace the adhessive?
hi serg phone man. i dropped my sansung in a puddle and the screen is half black. does this mean the battry is half working? like i can only see bottom half so cant play on it and am sad. where can i buy a better battry? i went to samsung shop, they tried to sell me the new phone because mine is out of warrenty or sth
find it very useful, thank you for sharing, My old S10 will be glad to see me tearing him apart.
i had no idea a tool kit and safety gloves would be required simply to begin the process - i think i will spend the time looking for a phone that doesn't require such effort
How long do you recommend leaving the phone on the hot plate at 100 degrees celcius for? Also the second part where you need to re-apply heat the screen to separate the battery adhesive, how long did you leave it on there? "once you feel the battery hot enough" isn't really a good enough considering how you're risking damaging the device.
Finally where do you find new adhesive to apply to the fram of the phone to preserve waterproofing?
@Serg Tech, please reply, i've seen others ask similar things and you have not responded.
Use T7000 adhesive glue to stick it back together or the adhesive tape they sell
This is a good example of a company which would rather aggravate their customers than make their product enjoyable to use. Stop buying their junk.
When putting the back cover. How do I add an adhesive? So it's water resistant? It's there a special glue?
Hi, My front glass cracked and it's filled with blue liquid on my s7. Can you tell me where i can get a replacement ? This video is awesome because you make it look so easy to do myself
I replaced baterry for original samsung new 3days ago. The baterry life is literally same as before. I tried all things like baterry calibration, factory reset and nothing works. Phone last max 10hours with barelly using, brightness on lowest, power saving mode ON. Somebody help
You didn't need to remove the wireless charger adhesive at all, if you've removed all the tiny screws holding the 2 plastic covers. They can come off together. Also, very helpfully, all the screws are the exact same so you didn't need to worry about putting them back wrongly.
WOW....15 tiny screws! Cld they make it any more of a pain for the normal person!
How long is the normal wear of a S10 battery suppose to last?
TFS~ UR KNOWLEDGE!!
They want you to purchase a new phone not a new battery.
@@Usernotknown21 ya after u ruin it doing this.....lol
I just bought a 10 so was curious....Use to using the Samsung phones u can change batteries easily.
Usually after 2 years of very average phone use you would get a big drop off on battery power. I'll probably change mine after a year and a bit though
Very good lesson
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the great video. I just need to pick up the battery and tools that you used.
thanks bro working
What glue do you use?
Awesome video, Thanks uploader. Do you know why the 5GHz wifi stopped working after I replaced the battery. I'm able to connect to 2.4 GHz wifi but the 5GHz wifi is giving a message that it couldn't connect to the wifi. Thanks in advance
I have 2 things to ask: I have not understood the usefulness of propyl alcohol and above all, if I do this battery change procedure, will I lose water resistance?
oh my gosh, that's so complicated and a hard thing to do. Is there any services that they can just do that, i'll just come back once it's done.
Some advice on what to use to pry the case open .... I used a credit card, no special plastic tool needed, just get it started and work your way around the phone and the back falls off, there was NO glue on my phone case
Does the heat affect the screen?
All this just to change the battery? You gotta be kidding
right?! i hate it!!
This is what i hate about the new generation phones.
Totally absurd to me. I had no idea until after I purchased the phone. I don't know if I can do this.
nope, he is not kidding
EXACTLY!!!!😡😡😡😤
does the s10 battery fit the s10e
Can anyone comment on how their battery time changed becauce of this replacement? Im scared to replace the battery and still end up with it dying by lunch time.
Why not use a suction cup to lift the battery out?
Physics. Lifting by the edge requires less force.
no need to glue the new battery again?
What about waterproof after that ?
thanks bro you helped me a lot but you work way too fast for my speed.. no problem i was able to do it pretty easily. And i didnt even use heat but it's like 100 degrees here today so maybe it was a little soft anyway
Replaced a battery using your video. Hardest part was to wait for battery to charge to 100 before turning the phone on, to see if it works. So far so good. I used a wide pot of water with a plate over it. For 5 min. The whole case opened up right away.
No thank you but I do appreciate the knowledge your sharing, I just purchased a galaxy S10, my first galaxy S5 Active just died, yes an S5, since I will never do that, how would I find a shop that would
If you're there at 7:03 turn on the phone !!! If its working, proceed, otherwise it's time to fix whatever problem was introduced
Never heard the word adhesive so many times in such a short period of time.
3:18
You make it look easy...
If I had seen this video before ordering the battery, I would have changed my mind. Getting the battery out was hard because the kit I had sent a metal prying tool and I was afraid to use it. Once I did the battery came out without a lot of force. Also, those screws are tiny, and my hands and eyes were not happy.
That's all very smart and helpful but how do you know this phone is still waterproof?
It's not waterproof anymore. I think there are some companies that sell new backs with adhesive on it but they are still not like the factory sends you
@@thomasshoup4744 even with factory cover it needs pressure testing afterwards
No need for a new gasket? Will the phone still be waterproof?
Does anyone know how many cells in the samsung s10+ battery? Help please.
uprade to 5000mah?
Thanks for the information I will certainly be paying someone to do this for me❤
Any time!
Yeah my battery has been draining a lot faster than it used to, cuz my phone is about 4 years old now. But I haven't reached the point yet where I am willing to become a tradesman to be able to replace a battery. Clearly Samsung just wants me to buy a new phone.
This is why you take it to a professional.
Doesn't look that hard. I just replaced the battery in my gear s2 which is way smaller and I didn't break anything thank God.

Cool video, but it looks like you removed much more screws than was actually necessary to remove the battery? Why ?
