Google Pixel 3a Battery Replacement

[@lorzon]

Once upon a time, you could just remove the backplate and change the battery. No critique intended, just a comment on phone design.

[@DIYGeardo]

That is true, They do not want you to fix it, Instead buy a new phone...

[@dnah02]

I miss those days

[@cookmaster3626]

Manufacturers are GREEDY. They want you to buy a new phone every 2 years to enrich their pocket

[@SomeRustyNuts]

Just like cars...

[@BlooAlien]

One of the saddest things about that is that it *was not* all that very terribly long ago that was how pretty much *all* phone battery replacements worked. You could do the *entire* process with literally *just* your *fingers* being the *only* tool required.

[@russellm7530]

It's evil how they started making cellphones without easily replaceable batteries anymore. What a pain in the ass just to replace a battery or anything. Thanks.

[@jayjayhooksch1]

Thanks for the video, repair only took about an hour thanks to you help!

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad it helped

[@himeccms893]

You forgot to remind viewers that the remnants of the thin double sided foam tape should be removed first before the B-7000 glue is applied and be careful of scratching the black border of the glass when scraping the residue off

[@integr8er66]

Please add to test the screen and battery BEFORE you glue the screen back on. If there is a problem with a connector, or even the screen or battery you just bought its WAYYYY better to know it before you glue it back together.

[@michaelwolkow6051]

Great video tutorial. And commentary. Thank you

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad you liked it!

[@craigslist474]

Too complicated. Geez Louise. Great video though. Very thorough and confirmed my worst fears, and a few I hadn't even realized existed. :D Thanks for the video.

[@DIYGeardo]

Pixels are always complicated

[@mattgrimes4542]

I plan to do this today, and use a thin bead of clear silicone to waterproof it. Make sure the silicone is non-conductive.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback

[@alexk6745]

How did you go? Was it worth it? Was the battery good? I'd like to buy pixel 3a for ubuntu touch but I believe battery will be nearly dead. So I wonder if there're good batteries on the market today? aliexpress? ebay? I'm afraid that there will be just old batteries with new stickers, which will kinda work, but capacity will be half and in few months it may die. Anyone was able to buy a good battery?

[@CaneHall]

What's the brand/model of that heating pad you're using ?

[@BertrandBarraud]

Hello, I have a question, what is the name for the battery patch you are using to stick it to the case? I'm ordering a battery but it doesn't seem to be included so I will need to buy some on the side. Thank you for your video.

[@DIYGeardo]

You mean the adhesive ? you can buy iPhone battery adhesive and cut the way you want. That will work. Should be cheap $1-3

[@RogerPack]

Mine came with some adhesive...

[@leatherwiz]

Thank you for sharing this video but please articulate better what you say. It is very difficult to understand.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback. Transcript is available in Subtitles

[@cookmaster3626]

Is there a simpler hack where you can tape a new battery external to the phone and have a cable plug to it or will a thin profile power bank attached to the back of the phone permanently connected work?. I dont mind the bulk resulting from it.

[@DIYGeardo]

A Good idea to try..

[@TaijiArban]

I am pretty sure you could find a battery case, which is basically a case with a battery pack built in. Might be hard to find for a pixel since they are mostly common for iPhone but still worth a try.

[@homuraakemi9556]

It's not worth it to do like that

[@nickcarling4707]

Where can I get the battery and tools on your site?

[@DIYGeardo]

Your location

[@RogerPack]

Where do you get the heating pad?

[@DIYGeardo]

you can buy online.if you need i can send you some links

[@RogerPack]

@@DIYGeardo yeah

[@DIYGeardo]

@@RogerPack location?

[@RogerPack]

@@DIYGeardo mine? US. Or where to put the links (description perhaps?) Cheers!

[@mscir]

Well done.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks

Can u use high capacity battery for gopix 3a? Like upper 3500mah

[@DIYGeardo]

Is there any high capacity batteries for pixel series? i don't think so

[@dheo9646]

@@DIYGeardo i thougt that u can modificatoon other battery for gopix '-'

[@tlmuzl]

I just checked on the Fairphone and decided to see how it is to change the battery on my phone. Shame on you Google!

[@DIYGeardo]

Fair phone is quite simple, but I don’t think main players won’t change the design.

[@tlmuzl]

@@DIYGeardo I think the public awareness is growing quickly. Cellphones nowadays are so powerful that we really don't need new ones every 2 years and the companies that can provide better reparability will strive.

[@DIYGeardo]

@@tlmuzl True, lets hope for a better outcome.

There is service pack batteries, your location?

@@DIYGeardo australia. But how those service pack batteries can be good?

[@natsufire1667]

Is it ok to use fevi quick as afhesive or there is 'an adhesive for phone'?

[@Techniclty]

Bison B-7000 is mentioned and used

[@pewlivepie5006]

So difficult to replace a battery

That's why Nokia is a legend. Why to open entire phone just to change a battery?!?

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback..

[@doerandom]

This phone only for 1 time use and not for repair, once when you got battery or screen or motherboard problem it mean you need buy new phone.

[@सत्यईमानदारी]

This is harder than iphone 12

[@DIYGeardo]

Pixel repair is bit hard..

[@Sam-fp8zm]

i broke my screen doing this now the phone is useless. the whole screen is black. dont try it just sell an old phone and buy a newer one. if for some reason you want to try it when running the plastic pry down the sides and bottom it can only go in 1-2mm otherwise it will hit the glass screen and crack it which doesnt put just a crack in the display but disables the whole screen

[@DIYGeardo]

It is a difficult repair. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏

[@cradlebrouch9642]

Yeah, I'll just buy a new phone, thanks though

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback..

[@rozbitesklo6349]

Google pixel 3A is not glued on liwuid adhesive but on acrylic adhesive... Big mistake. Poor tutorial.
