I managed to complete this project with only a couple of moments of utter despair, and look forward to having a phone that actually works for more than an hour or two before crapping out. My phone and my wife's Honor 8 are both a little less than two years old. The batteries very suddenly went bad. The typical behavior was to suddenly shut down while reporting 50 or 60 percent power. The battery offered in the link above is out of stock, so I bought one on Amazon for about $15 that was listed as compatible with both the Honor 8 and the Huawei P9. It came with a kit of tools (guitar pick, screwdrivers, SIM ejector, plastic pry tool and a suction cup). It didn't come with any glue or tape for reassembly, but I think the result will hold together well inside the case that I use. First moment of despair: Removing the old battery was extremely difficult due to the adhesive used. I wasn't sure I would be able to succeed without breaking something or setting myself on fire, but I eventually got it loose. Second moment of despair: The phone would not boot. Plugging in the charger showed 67%, but I couldn't get Android to start up. The battery test recommended at 5:09 is REALLY important, because it helped me discover that the side buttons were not working. I had missed reconnecting the switches. After 20 minutes or so of feeling like I'd made a horrible mistake, I watched ua-cam.com/video/Ea_hhtT5rNU/v-deo.html and realized that I had left the ribbon cable under the motherboard. I eventually ended up without any leftover pieces, and if the battery problems go away, I'll be pretty pleased with this. It remains to be seen whether I'll try this with my wife's phone as well.
"My phone and my wife's Honor 8 are both a little less than two years old. The batteries very suddenly went bad. The typical behavior was to suddenly shut down while reporting 50 or 60 percent power. " same to me. Not even 2 years old and same behavior. Battery jumps from 50 to 20 to shutting down in a few seconds ...
@@janmenich5887 works great. Right after I wrote that comment I went and got a replacement battery from eBay. Battery life is fantastic now. Fixed all the battery draining issues 100%. It's been almost a month now and no issues at all.
Nice video! Got OEM battery from a eBay seller in Socal. Took me about 30mins to do this. Read a few of the comments over and over while waiting for the battery to arrive. Figured it's best to reuse the adhesive as it's looks like a hassle to remove old adhesive and replace with new. The toughest part if removing the battery. Start at top left. Slow get it loosen and when you can see the back side start prying where the adhesive is holding the battery down. Power test and ready assemble. Make sure to push the adhesive back evenly around the edges to get a good seal. Once phone was assembled I hear the edges again with the heat gun and then pressed/rubbed the edges with my fingers to makes sure the glass cover was back evenly in place.
I did this battery repair a month ago. Fixed all the draining issues of the honor 8. If you're considering it don't be afraid. It's much easier than it looks and totally worth the 10-15 dollars for a new battery on eBay.
Don't do like this, because I succed to change the battery without unscrewing the frame !! just unscrew the 2 screw near the battery connector and you can remove it without any problems !! in any case thanks for this video it help me to see the differents parts
+1 on Alexis' great advice. Just changed my battery and only removed the 2 screws covering the battery connector as well. Be patient with the battery, lots of adhesive there!
I agree! This will save a lot of time and minimize the potential of damaging something, like the antenna connector which snapped right of from the soldering pads on my phone. =(
No, i reused the back cover. However i ordered a new piece of double sided tape for the back cover. The original stickytape will be badly damaged in the process of removing the cover.
Thank you SO MUCH for this guide!!! I absolutely love my phone and didn't want to have to get a new one, or the headache of shopping for one to try to replace the one I have my contacts stored in / enjoy using. The ONLY thing I'd like you to add is when removing the board, people who have the sim chip and mini memory NEED to remove that FIRST before touching the board to get at the battery. I accidentally bent mine a little bit before I realized... but I was able to use my jeweler's pliers to straighten it out & fix it. Your guide enabled me to install a new, working, battery and saved my phone. I'm grateful :)
Lacking either a heat gun or decent hair dryer, I used my wife’s heating pad (standard drugstore fare), removed from its fabric pouch, set on high and folded in half with my phone (off!) inside for 3-5 minutes, then switched it down to medium and used it as my work pad in hopes the battery adhesive would stay warm. This worked pretty well, but I also had plenty of plastic spudgers plus a metal spudger that I used for the initial access and to slide around the rim. For getting the battery itself out, I used one playing card plus an old credit card (since I received a replacement for it this month). I did not bother with full removal of the frame, though I did remove all of the 4mm black screws around it. I just lifted up the side blocking the battery connector. I closed it back up using the original adhesive which I’d kept warm by leaving the back on the pad while I worked, then left it under a heavy book for a few minutes while it cooled under pressure. It seems to have gone together OK, but I do have a new back panel with adhesive on order if I decide I’m willing to tackle moving the fingerprint sensor. It's going to be living in a case all the time anyway, but I do have a steel sheet on it for a magnet mount so if that's pulling off the back then I'll replace the adhesive or back.
Nice video and very informative. Sometimes I mess us removing the battery. I guess i have to use those plastic cards. I wonder if any one tried removing the LCD first, then heating up the partition just a little to soften the glue underneath the battery.
Some of my observations from replacing today : Hair dryer works Make sure to have the repair kit....do not skip buying this....everything is essential Remove all the screws except one pink one that holds the motherboard and remove the white casing inside...this needs to be removed so you can disconnect the connectors Do not remove mother board or the bottom ones I bought an adhesive from eBay. This doesn't work because you can't clean the old cover completely off of old adhesive. Just by a new cover with adhesive. My old cover worked with the remaining adhesive Have patience. This job will take about 2 hours
I changed my phone's battery and everything's working fine but the charging port (or something related to it).When I plug my phone in the charger it says it's charging but it doesn't show the lightning bolt (that always showed in all those almost 3 years of me having this phone) and it's not charging at all. What should I do? Please help!
I've done this twice now. Easier each time. Make sure you have the right tools and as others have mentioned just do the two screws and bend back the one to unplug the battery. Takes about 30 minutes.
No. I literally changed the battery on my honor 8 today and I didn't reset the phone. Everything works fine. Just make sure the phone is off before you start.
Whilst pulling the battery out I damaged the cable screen, the one which is attached to the back of the screen. Pay a lot of attention when you try to pull the battery out because there will be a lot of glue and the battery is likely to tear out the cables. You are going to need to the plastic card to get under the battery so that you`ll not be pulling on the cables under the battery as much. As far as my phone goes, that is now a throw away. If I had to do it again I would definitely use a hairdryer to try an make the vasrt amount of glue under the battery more liquid.
I replaced my usb port and now the hall sensor is broken, it thinks I have a magnetic case on even tho it doesnt. Where is the hall sensor and what to do?
After removing the back cover, all it takes really is to remove one screw on the right, bend the connector cover a bit, disconnect the old battery, put a new battery. This video distracts people do so many extra steps that serves no purpose.
Why are you doing a complete tear-down to change the battery? If you can assemble everything in the end, before putting the battery in, surely you can also remove the battery, with all this in place.

This was pretty difficult and sketchy for me but I managed to do it. Battery check. Audio check. Texting check. Camera check. 1) Removing the back cover was not easy. I had to blow dry it for several minutes focusing on the corner that I wanted to use the suction cup to pull off from. As a result of this, the paint from the back cover (top of phone near the camera lens) melted. You should be able to hear a sound when you begin pulling on the suction cup that gives the impression that adhesive glue is being separated from the back cover. If you don't hear that sound, you need to heat the edges more. Just heat the edges/corners where the suction cup will be on ... not the entire phone. 2) I only removed the two screws at the top of the battery near the camera lens. Once I did that, I began prying open the battery with a plastic guitar pick. I thought removing the back cover was going to be the hardest part but nope ... the battery seems to have like 5x more adhesive ... frustrating is an understatement. I then reached for a metal flat screwdriver because I had better grip on it. I was using so much force on this tool to remove the battery that it punctured the plastic that the battery was covered in and began smoking a little. I stopped immediately, put on some working glasses and switched to the plastic guitar pick. I created enough "pull" on the battery with the metal flat screwdriver that I was able to have my friend insert another guitar pick into the gap of the corner of the battery while I inserted a plastic pick into it to give him more opening. Once that guitar pick was inserted into one of the corners of the battery, I dragged the guitar pick along the edges of the battery to separate the adhesive. 3) I lifted up the right latch/lever thing to pull out the connecting strip from the battery. I then yanked the battery out ... put the new one in ... screwed the (2) screws back in ... put the damaged back cover back in ... inserted my sim card back into the slow and booted the phone praying that it worked given how sketchy this entire process was. It booted up and I then tested everything to ensure the phone is 100%. It ain't pretty but it works fine. Took me about 45 minutes total - best of luck. I am not the most adept person when it comes to these things but I know how to use the basic tools and can build a computer from scratch.

So, da muß mal der Papa den Klugscheißer raus hängenlassen, wenn ich sehe wie ihr den Akku ausbaut !? Also : An der Ecke (wo Kontakte) unter dem Akku ein bischen fummeln bis ihr an den Klebestreifen kommt, den dann vorsichtig fassen und ganz langsam ziehen. So zieht ihr den Klebegummi heraus, kippt den Akku etwas an und das gleiche Spiel mit dem nächsten Klebestreifen. Danke, gern geschehen. (grins)
lol that's what i was thinking. you're going to replace it with a new battery anyways so there's no need to go gentle with the old one. but still need to be careful with the display cable underneath the battery though
I had a really fucking hard time changing the battery on my girlfriends p8lite or wtf it's called. Now I'm about to get an honor 8 because it's too good of a deal and an upgrade...but man, I really hate what they do to you. I swear to god, it would be 20grams lighter if they didn't put so much fucking glue in the fuckers. I almost bent her battery out of fucking shape trying to wiggle it out with the spudger because the glue was so old that it was impossible to remove.
The complication level of this operation is beyond words. We should boycott phones & manufacturers going this way just for profits. Remember the times of a Nokia 3310 or even a Samsung Galaxy S5!
I replaced my usb port and now the hall sensor is broken, it thinks I have a magnetic case on even tho it doesnt. Where is the hall sensor and what to do?

@@elbertox6162 dude, i 100% agree with you. What im talking about is the way the big companies think about this shit.
So, da muß mal der Papa den Klugscheißer raus hängenlassen, wenn ich
sehe wie ihr den Akku ausbaut !? Also : An der Ecke (wo Kontakte) unter
dem Akku ein bischen fummeln bis ihr an den Klebestreifen kommt, den
dann vorsichtig fassen und ganz langsam ziehen. So zieht ihr den
Klebegummi heraus, kippt den Akku etwas an und das gleiche Spiel mit dem
nächsten Klebestreifen. Danke, gern geschehen. (grins)

Wit Rigs not this,what you use in the video,the already cut and blue one
The adhesive in the video has already sold out. This one is a new kind of adhesive. You can use it.
i did it with success, screw the old batt just rip it out......
lol that's what i was thinking. you're going to replace it with a new battery anyways so there's no need to go gentle with the old one. but still need to be careful with the display cable underneath the battery though
great video, but I failed QAQ
Song name?
You're kidding right? When I die and go to Hell that song will be piped over the tannoy on a loop!
I didnt notice BATTERY REPAIR
battery replacement
@@EricWitrigs I now sops
Fuck that's a lot of work. But if it takes 2 hours and I save 100€ it's prolly worth it.
Honor 8@ kok boros ya
and i thought replacing an iphone battery was hard... time to chuck my old honor 8 in the trash. it's not worth the effort
holy moly, its better to give it to the repair shop. Who the hell build it in that way?!
^^^^^ obviously not a techie! I just did this for a phone... $15 repair.... "repair shop" charge over $100.... LOL!

Hah
Lol
I had a really fucking hard time changing the battery on my girlfriends p8lite or wtf it's called. Now I'm about to get an honor 8 because it's too good of a deal and an upgrade...but man, I really hate what they do to you. I swear to god, it would be 20grams lighter if they didn't put so much fucking glue in the fuckers. I almost bent her battery out of fucking shape trying to wiggle it out with the spudger because the glue was so old that it was impossible to remove.
You need some plastic cards www.witrigs.com/plastic-opening-card
The complication level of this operation is beyond words. We should boycott phones & manufacturers going this way just for profits. Remember the times of a Nokia 3310 or even a Samsung Galaxy S5!
Easier to buy a new phone
Yeah...I agree.
I can replace your phone with brand new battery for half the cost of a new phone
@@vuvu3421 thanks, already fixed it
Well, duh... If you have money, then why not..
@@vuvu3421 half the price is way too much to pay
Looks like a chokehold.
I think I'll give that to someone else. I rather pay than doing this.
I miss nerves.
Omg, i think i could die doing this on my Honor...!

It is Honor 8, not Huawei Honor 8. You could not say Fiat Ferrari even though they belong to same group.
I replaced my usb port and now the hall sensor is broken, it thinks I
have a magnetic case on even tho it doesnt. Where is the hall sensor and
what to do?
