10 years from now replacing your battery will be an olympic event.
Haha, well said!
Batteries will be screen itself.
Batteries won't exist, charging will be done thru air
@@edde3244 Yeah charging will require a storage medium so batteries will still exist.
💀💀💀
After watching this, I miss my S5. Changing battery was a 10 second job.
@Leopold S5's were water resistant, too. Also XCover4 (same battery). The whole 'sealed' phone concept is, IMHO, consumer un-friendly.
@Leopold it has nothing to do with the water resistance; the whole phone can easily be done as a water resistant - and the battery compartment there can be made absolutely waterproof with just a connectors popping out (connectors can be also sealed in any waterproof way or totally molded around) so you would just slide a battery inside from the bottom ( the bottom cover could be also glueable but with the concept of a replaceability in mind).
@Leopold The hard in it is the fact that these things are made not to be really repairable - you can attempt of course - but with a high risk of damaging something along the way.
@Leopold if a company would make a pre-order system, I guess that many would be happy with the option I've described above.
Brilliant video... I have a cracked screen not bad but gonna replace it and might aswell replace battery. Have done my research watched a few vids with thanks to ppl who have explained to us how to do it carefully, luckily I'm an electrician but it's not rocket science you must make sure you be careful as pointed out with the connections and ribbons.
Ahh good old days when changing battery was half minute job
All I used to sell at RadioShack was phone batteries. Cell phone, cordless phones. They just don't want people to fix thier phone, they want them to buy a new one.
What a pain in the ass. I bought an s8 and want to keep it for a long time. Looks like I'm going to have to do this in a couple years.
@Niranjan Raju Sounds like a defective battery. I've had mine over 2 years and original battery still works fine. A full charge last me 2 days easy. As soon as you started having that issue you should have gotten the battery changed. Most cellphone shops can do that for you for a very reasonable price.
Thank you this was very easy to follow!! At first I was hesitant to do a DIY but after carefully watching your video I was able to complete this task all on my own. Thanks!
Since I gave up my dream of being a rock star I can still use my picks. All is not lost.
TYVM!!! I followed step by step and it works perfectly. I found that no business would touch a battery change when customer provides battery - so it was up to me. Just a quick point - I didn't have a hot plate, but used a rice bag that you heat up in the microwave. I did use a thermometer to make sure I was at 110 degrees. I am so pleased!!! Best, Ann
It would do you a lot of good to properly mix the music volume in future videos!
Yeah, I nearly had heart attack when the not-so-gentle music volume kicked in! Good vid tho.
True that.
@@strika71 I almost had my eardrum blown out. I had one earbud of my earphones in one ear while watching it on my laptop and had to quickly turn the volume down. after that I had to pull out the earbud when I couldn't turn the volume down fast enough. Informative video though. I have my S8+ since 2017 and sooner or later I know I will have to replace the battery. I already have a spare battery waiting. They're forcing us to buy new phones so they can make more money. That's why they are sealing up the batteries in the modern phones now. They are doing the same thing with laptops and some cameras too.
Agreed 100% fantastic informative video but the change in volume levels was a major annoyance. I hope the guy takes this information on board.
nobody cares your too lazy to touch a volume button. uhhhhhh so hard
Thanks for a great video!!! I changed mine yesterday using this video. My battery expanded and opened the back, so I didn't have to use heat. After replacing the battery, bluetooth and wifi would not turn on. After reseting bluetooth and wifi, bluetooth worked, but not wifi. Another internet article said to put the phone in airplane mode and then shut down. Upon restarting the phone, wifi began working. Some other videos on you tube basically want you to strip down the whole phone in order to change the battery. Thanks again!!!
I don't know what the problem is with my phone, damn near red hot and the back wont budge at all. Mine must be welded in place?
Really nice guide. I was worried my battery was bulging, so I went to open the phone up. Naturally, it was my first time handling a glass-backed phone so I completely mangled it. Oh well. Picked the glass shards out of my hand, taped it all up, and sealed it all back up after diagnosing a healthy battery.
Of course, I did all this before watching your video, like a genius, because I know everything lol.
BUT I can definitely say this is a great guide, because had I watched it, it definitely would have saved me some damage to my phone's glass backing.
Edit: and my hand.
What temperature would you recommend heating battery at to losen adhesive, And how long?
Lol prying tool? I have that same guitar pick 🤣
Great video, man! Got my battery replaced in just a minute or two longer than your video!
A simple THANK YOU for a helpful video!! You just helped me save my Galaxy S8 phone.
great vid, thanks for the detailed info sir...im sure i will have to refer to this in a couple of years.
Great video. Glad you spoke up and explained what you were doing for us. Could have done without the music though. You definitely made me feel like I could handle this myself. I don't like this phone (glass sandwich) but my wife is interested in it. Blessings, John 20:29
Thanks for sharing...Just changed the battery !!
Thanks bro! worked like a charm!
Great video Brother!!! Many thanks from Houston, Texas! mayo
hi ! what the temperature you use in the hot plate to remove the back , are you going to burn it or damage the battery ?
Great Video, very early after the release for battery replacement. But the quicker the better, Thanks much for this how to do video.
You are first comment!! GOOD JOB
LOL, thanks I guess.
I ended up cracking the glass cover on the back, but it works. Likely will not handle water as good. Will keep it backed up regularly in case it has issues. Thanks for the video...it helped. Wish I had realized that the back cover was glass...
How can you have a phone and not realise what it's made of
So good video 👍 and after this process is S8 still waterproof?
Used same tool as you on battery set on fire thanks!
Rip
Nice demonstration but very difficult to attempt. I really will not buy a phone that is this difficult to replace a battery. I have an S5 Samsung phone and it appears this will be the last Samsung phone I buy, unfortunately, because I really like it. I know the phone manufacturers do this on purpose to increase the sales on turnovers on their phones but sorry that will not earn my business.
Will Cline, well said. Bravo👏
Will Cline S9 will be out in a few days
Exactly ur right
I hear ya. I have an S5 and just bought this S8. This is f'n ridiculous.
deal with it. we live in 2019 not 2014
Why are so many people concerned about a water resistant aspect of the phone? How are you all managing to get water on your phones all the time
Keeta Taapken ditto
Because the S8 is a waterproof phone, breaking the factory seal is a concern for the waterproof feature of this phone.
@@nickt83 You can buy water resistant seal for samsung galaxy s8/s9 And so forth.
@@keyster4391 It and the S8+ are actually IP68 rated water and dust resistant. You can take them under water to as deep as 4.92 feet for 30 minutes.
@@sixpac20032010 you only need an external waterproof case if you intend to go deeper than 4.9 feet in water with it, or if you need to stay more than 30 minutes at 4.92 feet.
If I did that to my phone, my phone will never work again. Lol. Anyhow, thanks for showing how it is done. Video is informative.
Thanks man, you saved me $125.00
Just did it. Wasn't too hard but be carefull because i ended up shattering the back glass
That's why it wasn't hard. You did it without being careful.
Thanks for the tutorial mate. Is there a decent phone out there where you can just simply remove and replace the battery like on older phones instead of this carry on malarky?
Thank you bro! :)
This is slightly easier than replacing it on the S6 edge. You have to disconnect a bunch of ports, pull the screen from the metal frame, and then remove the entire logic board on the s6 edge. Just make sure you get a good suction tool.
Does this affect waterproofing?
It would be really nice if Samsung Galaxy S9 can have a replaceable/removable battery!!
Wen and have samsung miss out on all the repairs/replacements profit? Never gonna happen. They copied apple so blame apple for that the fuckin cunts
It doesnt!
Is it still going to be warrantied as 'water resistant' after I change the battery?
Hello i want know if the battery s7 edge can put in the s8
what song did you use for this video? I love it
Can you use bigger battry? Ir the s9 battery?
One thing to lookout for is loctite or something similar on the screws. I think I stripped a couple already
Pliz reply if battrey chages is there anybissue come in water resistence
Any similar experience, like being an eye surgeon is useful
Impressive video
Should I buy the battery and tools for $20 and do it myself, or spend $100 and have it done by a repair service? I'm leaning towards DIY. Thoughts?
Im in the same boat. Cost to repair myself is 35 but a shop near me can do it for 76. Leaning toward a shop so I don't screw up all the sensors and glass backing of my phone
oh hellz no. i'll stick with my galaxy s5 until i find another brand with a removable battery. even iphones are easier to open this this junk. seems like samsung cut huge corners in quality. thanks for posting this video. its an eye opener.
I'm still rockin the Galaxy S4, I'm on my 3rd battery and the old girl is still goin strong.... love old tech-no-logy!! Haahaaa :)
Peter Z me too on my good old s4 still great phone just wish there was software fix to stop whats ap data going on to phone memory which may be 16gb but we only get access to 6gb or so after apps so i have to unistall all possible apps even email but apart from that solid phone and still working good as newer phones plus the screen dont crack like the newr ones if you drop it once.
I think many people dont realise that be it annoying to get to batt but the dust and ip rating has to be maintained by having a sealed unit.
Thank you for a brilliant video, I had a flash of inspiration as no doubt the Note 8 will also be designed by Satan. Samsung must think that their customers are stupid, my idea was to make a new plastic back for the Note 8, so that I can use three batteries per day as I do with my brilliant Note 4. It looks as if the Note 8 will be a sticky mess inside, just a cost cutting exercise.I will miss the Note pen, but I love the Dual SIM on the LG V20, Samsung will lose a lot of customers because they are putting greed above good engineering. Planned obsolescence is an ecological sin.
Does anybody know the names of the songs he played
is it still waterproof after you open it ?
after replacing is it waterproof again?
Great video what size is the battery my battery swelled up and opened the back of my phone a little.Im scared to open it.I want to order a new battery before i open it all the way to replace the battery so could you please tell me the info on the battery thank you .👍
Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. I already have the back loosened off, all I need now is a new battery.
How much do you charge for this
If the back cover removed so its not waterproof anymore, right?
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP ME :-) THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BY THE WAY.. BUT I HAVE AN S8+ THAT I CAN NOT GET TO HOME ON AND SHOW ON THE SCREEN IVE CHARGED IT THROUGH THE PORT AS WELL AS WIRELESS CHARGER BUT IN WONT COME ON AND I CANT GET IT TO HARD RESET ON ANYTHING USING A COMBO OF PRESSED BUTTONS WHEN I DO GET IT DO DO ANY THINF IT WILL VIBRATE ONE TIME FLASH A WHITE ONLINE LIKE AROUNG THE LCD BORDER AND FLASH A GREEN STRIP APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OR MAYBE 1/4 INCH THICK ACROOS THE SCREEN I WOULD SAY APPROXIMATELY 1/3 DOWN THE PHONE .. ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HOW TO FIX IT THANKS SO MUCH .. IVE GOT A S8 IM TRYING TO FIX AS WELL I MAY NEED TO ASK YOU ABOUT ALSO !! THANKS SO MUCH AND THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS ONCE AGAIN !!
nice video . after you replace the battery will the phone still be waterproof ?? thanks
Not unless you use the proper factory glue seals
I did this replacement battery of s7 edge and i did not have any sound ... does anyone have solution to no sound
So you don't have to replace all of the sticky seals. Just reuse the old ones and hope it doesn't leak. Remind me not to drop it in any water. It looks pretty simple now I see you do it. The last video I watched I think was an S7 but the video was labeled a S8. An S7 has more plugs to unplug and items to remove before the battery will come out according to the guys video.
So are you supposed to send it back to get new battery if you can't do it yourself. I have just ordered one of these phones
Yes send it in for a battery replacement.
Is it still water proof?
How is it with waterproof?
Please bring back replaceable battery phones.
We'll never see that again. It's a money making strategy. They don't want you to replace the battery. They want you to replace the whole phone. They are doing the same thing with laptops and some cameras too. I have a windows 10 Acer laptop with a built in battery and was considering swapping out the hard drive with a SSD in the future and add more memory, but can't. I almost ruined it trying to open it up because it wasn't designed for the user to access the internal components.
No glue applied to the battery and back cover?
When you replace the battery does it automatically wipe everything you have on the phone off please let me know
No, that's on the hard drive, battery has nothing to do with memory.
I just contacted Samsung about self battery changes when under warranty. Just be aware that if you break the cover seal on the cell phone it will void any warranty or repairs of the phone itself. They made themselves very clear on this issue. They do not put out any videos on the change of the battery on their cell phones.
Thanks very much for this vid. Wow, sure is a scary process (and I used to work in service!!!). With glass and sensitive electronics, the procedure is fraught with dangers (I sure never heated any instruments that I used to fix!!!) Better back up everything and budget for a new phone, just in case. i would also suggest removing the microSD chip and SIM card, just in case of the heat (can't be too careful). Much appreciated to see the inside (even the damned battery is glued in place!!!)
Does the phone stay Water proof after this?
Nice
Thus really crazy i need to fry the phone before i can change the battery 😩😩😩😩😩😩
Basically, surgery without a license.
After changing my battery the new battery will not charge. What could be done to fix?
BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL WHEN prying the back go a little at a time as you work your way around. I pryed to hard and spiderweb cracked the back. It's all glass too.
Cannot figure out why Samsung and others do not consider using screws to fix the back cover. I mean if the reason is because the screws are ugly, they could be placed on the sides and hidden in some way.
Mario Bianchi No, the mobile phone *IS WATER RESISTANT* !
DO NOT REMOVE THE BACK COVER!
IF YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE BATTERY, CONTACT THE EXTENDED PROTECTION INSURANCE THAT YOU BOUGHT WHEN YOU BOUGHT YOUR BRAND NEW Samsung Galaxy S8/S8s!!!
(YOU *DID* pay the few extra bucks for extended protection for defects, breakage, damage *DIDN'T YOU* ?
THIS UA-cam NUTTER HAS BEEN REPORTED BECAUSE HE'S A NUCKING FUT!
v Rod you would try to change the battery since it will be poor after more than 2 years.
Mario Bianchi or they could go back to the way they made the s5. Best galaxy of them all.
Nathan Drake I've still got my S5 still working. :)
Awesome
wtf i just see, i though Samsung not going to copy IPhone but now they did.my note 3 take under 1 minute to change battery and i can change battery when i out of, so i have infinite battery but for this one... not very good hardware design!
Iphone used samsung screens for years period
Call me an idiot, but doesn't that adhesive support the water proof thing? or the circuit is protected by something else?
Great video but few things need to be changed....annoying loud background music. No mention of heat/glue when closing up.
Will it be waterproof after opening the mobile
@QueenCoCoaMocha thenku
but repairability is the reason i switched to android why is this phone so hard to repair
are u supposed to turn the phone on?
Dumb question - any chance of puncturing the battery and it exploding? :D That's the step I'm worried about
Is it still waterproof?
I dont think that. this adhesive glue might not be sealed as it should be.
No, after you open it.
Depends on what adhesive he used
Appears the screen protector has damaged in the heat up the process ... upper right corner? It looked like it already had some ... but is definitely worse now ... I hope its easier to replace the screen protector. Appears to be one of that permanent kind. This is my 4th smartphone and my 1st smartphone for over $150.00 ... Crud, I was not thinking about battery replacement when I bought this phone. When shopping for a car I made up a checklist. Looks like I need to do the same thing now when shopping for a phone. This is absolutely rediculous just to change a battery. It had better last at least 3-4 years or Samsung lost a customer!!! Phone functions are pretty awesome but I really hate all glass and battery replacement suck big time!!! Had I known I would have walked away! Xfinity mobile does not have much of a phone selection at this time.
Yaaaa I just stay with my note 4.
Andrey Andreychuk and thats why ur vocabulary isn't updated because u refuse to update ur phone
Miguel.. like your grammar is any better? 😏
Hey I have a question. My battery is bulging and started partially pushing off the back from the left side. How should i loosen the rest of the adhesive for the back and the battery. Is heat a safe option with a bulging battery?
Same problem right now I have at this time. I mean at 12.51 am.. I m typing using samsung galaxy j7. But they have make our life harder now
@@humashah2024 I ended up using a heat gun lightly and using a tool to scrape off the adhesive but be careful not to pry the cover as you can crack the glass on the back.
@@kenneth31251 thanks. It will be ok after battery replacement ? Means for how long I can use same cell phone facing no problem ?
@@kenneth31251 I am not confident enough to do it by myself. I will take it to the concern expert for this issue. 😕
@@humashah2024 If I could do it, you could do it. Save yourself some money
um, does it still waterproof? considering it's sealed has been broken?
No its not, it would have to be sent back to a Samsung refurbish center. To be fully refurbish to IP68 certification.
shv90210 hm... thanks. i won't try that then. better bring it back to samsung service center. great video anyway. thanks.
No Problem, No one should try anything they don't know much about. Its better to send it in to Samsung, if the Water resistance is very important you.
if replacing the battery is your last resort to make the device usable, you have nothing to lose. if you want it done correctly, let a proffesional do it. this is not something you would dojust because you can.
biebe08 nope he just damaged the water resistance
That's why I got the LG G5. Never buying a non removable battery smartphone.
Mickxal me too!!! I wonder what will be your next phone choose lg started with this bullshit now too.
too bad cant do this on a 2018 J7 cause the back cover dont have lines its not meant to be a removable back phone
I tried a hair dryer. Don't hold it on your phone too long. It will cause your battery to expand and possible explode. I didn't know this and I was just trying to replace the screen but now i need a new battery too.
Samsung s8 folder price
And void the warranty doing so? I think not
bro if you need the change the battery then the warranty is moot and could have expired anyway
What happens when you buy a new batter for 10$ but is weaker and lasts less than the older one you had. Any ideas what to do ? :/
Put the old one back in
Those greedy bastards that removed the back plate...
Daniel San Martin it's an Android idiot not an iPhone
I know right...
That's why I love my S5 - and it still has the original battery.
Whey did remove the motherboard for? Unnecessary step.
Does this change the mAh Batteries????
If the battery you are putting in it has a higher mAh than the original and is the same size as the original, it will work. I always buy higher mAh batteries than the original for all my phones and cameras and they give me significantly longer run time that the originals.
@@bigtoolgarry cool.. thx m8
@@hazzdfuzzle no worries
its not waterproof after replacing the battery right ?
Yes, after replace the battery is not waterproof
Last night I put my s8 to charge…after a while i comeback in bedroom,and seen on screen that red light on screen like in this video,but phone was turned off…I leave it more time to charge..when I tryed to turn it on ,I can’t,I tryed power button+volume down,I tryed power button +volume up,and power button +and screen picture button…and volume down..nothiiiiing…I need help please…don’t want to turn on,I can’t use the phone and I have so manny thing on the phone…I need HELPPPPPP
removing the back cover was the toughest part.
Swear mines superglued on it's been over an hour still can't do it and I think I've broke it

Ok my hand is slightly burnt... Now I'm ready to get started... 😳🙄
