Google Pixel 3XL Battery Replacement

[@rocketeer6713]

I just did this with my 3 XL. Took me 2 hours and I didnt break the glass. So happy. The secret is really taking your time with the back glass and using LOTS of heat. Took me an hour to get the back glass off! TAKE YOUR TIME

How is battery backup now after replacing battery

[@patrickfitchjr]

Thank you! What is the glue he used called? I could not quite make it out what he said.

[@sevenoctobers7471]

Thank you for posting this. Saved me a ton of money buying a new smartphone. I didn't bother detaching the fingerprint sensor though. Just had to be careful not to pull on the back cover too hard. Don't forget to test the new battery by charging the unit before screwing the right vertical plate back in! The most challenging part for me was reattaching the power connectors. You need to take your time finding the sweet spot. Don't rush it and push down forcefully or you'll smoosh the dainty little pins inside the connectors and you'll end up with a new battery in a functional phone but with dead power connectors.

Thanks for sharing your experience

[@MAB_47]

Thank you. Very easy to do. Just to add, theres plenty of glue at the bottom half of the phones, you'll need to go very deep with your plastic card. Nearly all the way until the google logo at the back. If you are unsure where the glue is, just look at the phone once its opened in the video.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback..

[@waltwimer2551]

Thank you! This video made it possible for me to successfully replace the swollen original battery on my Pixel 3 XL. Perfect!

[@DIYGeardo]

You are welcome..please share

[@nachumsilver5122]

I'm definitely gonna try this on my Pixel 3xl. Just wondering, how delicate is the back cover?

[@rodeelynpc7327]

Hi. How long should I wait or use my phone after the glue application? Thanks

[@carlosluna9425]

thanks sr, very nice video. I have a question, how long hour it need charge for ther first time?

[@DIYGeardo]

Just overnight is fine

[@seand9882]

My battery is finally wearing out, came here to see if it would be easy to replace...so looks like I'm getting a new phone! 😉

[@DIYGeardo]

It is little hard. Try to sell it and make some cash for the new one.

[@scvcando]

I enjoyed the video and found it to be extremely helpful. Are there better batteries available for the Pixel 3XL? What is the battery that you are putting into the phone and where did you get it?

[@DIYGeardo]

yeah , the batteries are available for this model

[@ULURUUNDVITAMIN]

Hi so I have pixel 3xl with bubbled up screen will it work haven't turned it on yet opinions??

[@mackjack1146]

I purchased new Google pixel 3xl some day's before From Amazon and i am getting 4 hours of battery backup on Android 12 is it good according to 2022 or my mobile battery have problems

[@DIYGeardo]

New pixel with 4 hours battery charge is not good..if you are having 4 hours now, you will loose some more within few months..

[@webhostingindia]

Instead of current battery Can we change 4000 mah or 4500 mah battery ! ? So we can improve the backup time right!

[@DIYGeardo]

Well maybe yes, we have never tried it..

[@fightnight14]

I'm debating whether to get my battery changed for $80 or do it myself (with a risk) for half the price

I got it changed 🤣🍺

Is it possible to use pixel 3xl without battery with the help of charger.

[@DIYGeardo]

No

[@Lovey2339]

Without a battery?? Then you have NOTHING to charge! 🤷‍♀😄

[@centori2011]

It is possible to remove the battery without detaching the fingerprint sensor. I broke my connector and realized I didn't need to remove it

[@stevenwilliams6638]

Excellent, thank you.

[@DIYGeardo]

[@sas7388]

What temperature do you set your heat gun ?

[@DIYGeardo]

60-100c is fine for about 2-3 minutes around. Then with intervals as you needed about 1 minute.

[@sas7388]

@@DIYGeardo thanks

[@RetroKid]

Quick question. If I had a skin on the back of the phone, would it be affected by the process? Like would the heat gun cause the sticker to peel off?

[@DIYGeardo]

Well , yes it might get damage. Never tried, but as you know, heating can create issues on the sticker

[@RetroKid]

@@DIYGeardo thanks for your response. i ask because I recently brought my phone in for a battery replacement. it has a skin on it, and when I got it back, it didn't look like the skin was affected at all. either they did a bang up job and didn't mess with the skin at all...or they never changed out the battery and charged me $80 and did nothing.

hi, i replaced my pixel 3 XL battery, but when i charge it, it said '"connected but not charging". i try all the method already.

[@patricesc82]

You gotta do all of that just to take out the battery???? I'm not confident doing it myself andi know I need to change the battery on my pixel 3 xl 🙃

[@viniciusabdoracing]

thank you

[@DIYGeardo]

You are welcome

[@rkstudio9554]

Because after changing battery my pixel device is not turn to on. Please help me..

[@DIYGeardo]

Probably a bad battery. Also check the charging cables/adaptors too

[@HuFlungDung2]

I had the most difficulty with rejoining the connector on the fingerprint sensor cable. The stupid little plastic flipper came right off first, and it took 3 hands and a microscope to put it back on :) Note to first timers: there is a lot more adhesive than just at the edges of the back cover. Watch to the end before you begin so that you can see where the biggest adhesive patches are and then you will know how far you have to shove the credit card in to break the bonds. Use an old card and sharpen up the edge a bit, and it will work with less force applied. There is one shorter screw and three longer screws. The shorter one goes in the second hole from the bottom I believe, as the threads come right up to the top of that hole.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your details explanation on your experience..

Is it possible to use pixel 3xl without battery with the help of charger

[@sighsoflife]

The fingerprint sensor cable attachment point needs more detail for disconnecting and reconnecting. When reattaching it I could not tell it was actually securely connected and only the yellow tape seems to hold it in the area. No click into place or anything I could see so I am not sure it will work anymore. But at least the battery is charging after replacing the swollen old battery. :)

[@alenavass2]

I saw when you removed the old battery it was slightly bent on one side. Is this dangerous and can this damage the battery?

[@DIYGeardo]

Removing pixel battery is a little bit tough. The glue is strong, Need to apply some heat and pry it to take it out. If you are replacing the battery, you do not have to worry about the old battery, but still, you can use it if there is a slight bend. just make it straight. Always make sure to turn off the phone and disconnect the battery plug.

[@alenavass2]

@@DIYGeardo Okay thanks

[@jonajulli6224]

Se le puede poner una batería de más mAh?

[@DIYGeardo]

There is no credible large capacity batteries for pixel models

[@NA-ts7zk]

I ripped the coil unintentionally when I try to remove it, does this have an effect on my health?

[@DIYGeardo]

You mean the wireless pad right ? Well then you might loose the wireless charging function. That is all. The rest should be fine

[@sandice-ml1dk]

Sri how would be the battery backup after replacing...

[@natemagic6923]

gonna try this when i get all the parts currently ever since i did the update my pixel wont charge past 0%

[@bryannzuno6353]

Mine when it reaches 20% quickly drops to 5% or 1% and stays that way for hours. Maybe it's some bug, android 11 was downloaded recently. I hope your problem will be solved soon brother

I research online and I find a couple things. 1 the OS you can try booting whit android 10, ain't a solution for me though.

Hope you can get help whit yours and happy new year!

[@TheDjchickenboy]

Any idea why my fingerprint scanner no longer works after this? I'm not blaming you or anything I just cant get it to work. The phone doesn't even recognize there is one in any setting.

[@DIYGeardo]

First check the connection on finger print sensor, and second check any damages to the cable (pins), try to replace new part and see the outcome. I mean these are the things you can try. I believe loose connection or damage to the flex

[@AllTimeLowDeirdre]

mine did the same thing, restart your phone once the sensor is connected

[@TheDjchickenboy]

@@AllTimeLowDeirdre i ended up buying a new sensor and replaced it. It did the trick. Apparently I bent the ribbon cable too much and messed it up. Thanks though.
