Thanks, very nice detailed instructions. It's been over a year so far, how has the new battery performed since you installed it?

[@DStrayCat69]

Very good video... I've replaced the screens in several Samsung phones but never a battery... Your video is very informative. Thanks for sharing it :-)

[@circle4922]

Excellent, thorough tutorial. Thanks a lot for this. Well done.

[@redcrimson1028]

This is the best video i've seen on how to replace the battery, i gave up and decided to just pay the 60 bucks to get it replaced

[@michaelscott356]

How good WAS the video if you "gave up"?

[@JackInTheFrost]

Thanks for the video, I just replaced my S7 battery. The back is a nightmare to get off, I used a solder station hot air gun with adjustable temperature. First tried 100, then 200 but needed to set it to 300 degrees Celsius in the end. Just a thought for anyone who is doing this, heat the glue up on the back cover before you put it together again so it gets a nice tight fit. Hoping for another 3 years use of my phone now :)

[@rapaport5650]

good tip with that temperature setting! THX!

[@wompwomp8032]

I used a hairdryer and couldn’t get it off. Almost broke the phone. Just paying a local phone repair shop to do it. I got the battery so the labor cost is worth more frustration

[@njalwaysforever]

Thanks for the video. Way better then other videos. If I knew it would have taken all of this never-ending annoying process just to open up a phone to change a battery, I would never accept this phone. This phone is too disgusting. I hate headaches. Very informative video. Thank you.

[@brandons5366]

Thanks for sharing. This was very helpful. I was able to replace my battery with only a moderate amount of frustration. Without the detailed instructions here, I would have never been able to do it.

[@santiagotobajas9975]

Really helpful. Clear directions. Thanks much

[@BPJJohn]

do you have to reheat the back of phone to make it waterproof again when reassembling?

[@pamhill7827]

Very helpful video. It was the first time I've ever changed a battery and it was incredibly helpful.

[@ramonbertolozzi2138]

Pam Hill How is the battery life now? I'm going to buy a second hand s7 flat and I heard people saying that their battery is bad but my question is if the battery life now is good like a new s7?

[@mayjoypolison7571]

@@ramonbertolozzi2138 It's great. But you might wanna change the battery after 3 months. My son's S7 Flat battery got bad. It wouldn't charge on one percent.

[@FZeffarelli]

Thanks very much. Very complete instructions and video. I suspected that a local shop didn't use the right battery, and I was right. Thanks to you, I got a genuine one, with the tools, on ebay and succeeded!

Jeses Christ I didn't know I had to go to medical school to replace a fucking battery on a cell phone

[@jackblack5246]

The S7 is not splash proof, but waterproof! One of the characteristics of the S7. You can add more glue ( sell anywhere. .i.e. amazon) Also it is good to remove the bottom module and then heat up the front of the phone to remove the battery smoother. Opening the back cover like a book was fairly risky. It is good to run the spudger or guitar picks all the way around the edges. Then heat up the front sreen before removing the battery as it is glued as well. Nothing has been mentioned about the reverse side of the new battery, whether there is thermal protection against the heat the battery produce while being charged up or with the phone running many apps at once as on the original one. Unless you want to end up with a little fire in your pocket.

[@ScottDobbs07]

As per the website itself, the phones are water resistant, not waterproof.

[@martyeisenhour1740]

About a year ago I had my S7 in my shorts pocket and waded into a lake to go swimming. The phone was fully submerged in the water to about 1 to 2 feet for roughly 5 minutes before I discovered it. I thought I would need a new phone but it was fine. That was before I changed the battery....

[@desi9722]

Do you need to buy new battery adhesive and back cover adhesive? Or just reuse the old ones? They sell kits with them included and kits without, and people leave reviews about the replacement and don't mention anything about new adhesive

[@double2706]

Great video. Thank you for posting

[@briandarden9625]

I found this helpful, I used thin metal hairclips to get under the back glass. Good video.

[@Eaglewarrior2012]

Thank you for your informative video, I have successfully changed the battery.

[@Steph6n]

Hey, question: did all your old apps and widgets remain functional? This is my number one worry, that some of my apps which are no longer available in the Play Store will disappear forever...

[@PaulAshley]

Does the back snap on afterward or does the glue still work?

[@pavelk.2176]

Will fast charging still be available after replacement?

[@henrystrauss168]

Super, thank you. Best vid on S7 out there.

[@TheChameleon2008]

Also have you ever tried use a scale to weigh the original battery and thw ones you bought

[@625jeffrey]

Do you need to add more glue when putting it back together? These phones are waterproof, they need complete sealing I would think

[@sparrowbe4k802]

Great video. I've got some B-7000 glue for such devices (my current phone is an S7 [obviously] - I always buy used phones). Every time I pick up the glue I just put it back down again on the principle that I'd just be poking "future me" in the eye.

[@seanorphoto]

Great helpful video. My headphone jack has gone in my s7 and I'm going replacing it but I'm going to put a new battery in as well while I have the phone open and this helped a lot. Quick question should you heat it up again when sealing it?

[@Tingawinga5]

I heated it very gently, just to soften the glue so it had a bit more stick.

[@ramonbertolozzi2138]

Did you replace the battery? I'm going to buy a second had s7/flat and I heard people saying that their s7/battery is draining too fast but I think they never replaced their battery. So my question is, if I replace the battery will I get a good battery life? I'm asking because S7/seems to be a great smartphone even today

[@chefgabz]

Great video, successfully changed my battery! Thank you!

[@janecapps8235]

Pretty good video. Hardest part was getting the back off. If you are careful, you can save much of the water-proofing adhesive on the back. A couple suggestions. With phones, computers, cars, anything, they are highly, precisely engineered. If a piece doesn't fit easily, remove it and try again. Do not force a part! The part should fit in easily. When putting screws back in, turn them counterclockwise. They will click into place. You can feel this happen, and often hear it. Then you can turn the screw clockwise to tighten. This will keep you from cross-threading the screw. When you put the three cover parts back on, there are a few more steps than they show. Put the largest piece in first, but don't screw in tightly. That piece needs to interweave with the bottom part. On the left side, one tab on the bottom piece has to go under the larger piece, while one tab must go over the larger piece. On the bottom piece, these is a tab at the bottom that can be snapped into place by pushing on it. On the top piece, the top edge of the middle piece must go under the top piece. Also, I believe a tab on the top part has to go under the frame of the phone. Tighten the screws slightly as you put them in. Then tighten them at various opposite places, like putting a tire on your car. This will avoid one side being tighter than the other or stress put on one side.

[@peepersmum1366]

meeehhhhh I wish understood you!!!

[@Born_Stellar]

copy paste this in every video on the S7 much?

[@SkyHiltribe]

@TingaWinga5 , great tips but I did the exact same thing you did in the video. after Ireplaced the new battery in, the pone did work but no sound when I watch videos. What did I do wrong? any ideas?

[@Sinclair_USMC]

Do everything you did again. In my experience with technical fixes, sometines you just didn't place something in properly. Pull it all out again and plug it all back in. Also, you may be able to find your answer somewhere else on youtube for the sound card (whatever it may be called and wherever it might be located)

[@brucebiggy3593]

You may have caught the speaker and damaged it?

[@sarabjitsingh2652]

Is your s7 giving you a good battery life

[@nashedi8216]

thank you now we can fix my phone thanks to you

[@snuffcarl]

Great tutorial. Went well, besides from the fact the I punctured my battery and it caught fire haha. I only used plastic tools but still managed to damage it enough to set it off.

[@michaelscott356]

I call BULLSHIT! Nobody "punctures" a battery with a plastic tool. Not to mention, WHY IN HELL would it "catch fire" even if you DID puncture it. Don't pollute these comments with asinine remarks!

[@snuffcarl]

@@michaelscott356 sorry for trying to warn people ? Obviously it's fully possible to puncture the battery with a plastic tool if u use too much force . The covering of the battery was actually surprisingly fragile. I was really surprised it started burning, I assume it was some kind of chemical reaction once whatever is inside got on contact with oxygen. Calm down.

[@bytornsnowdog1347]

Thank you.

[@jsw207]

What do you have to do to get the back to be sealed again? You saved the factory installed glue but hasn't it lost it's stickiness? If new glue is needed, which do you recommend? Thanks

[@that1guy0219]

I was wondering the same thing.. Like can you just heat it up and it'll reapply itself?

[@bafriend7419]

You can purchase the glue on Amazon.

[@marshallsilva9389]

What is name of suction tool ? And one would think u would reheat the glue a bit before pressing it back on?? The glue would certainly have cooled off...liked video except the end "just press it back on' but u didn't finish it.

[@AlessandroCirillo77]

Where did you get the battery from?

[@target007]

I also glued the new battery,a bit, and got the battery from aliexpress,seem to work fine.

[@LanceJordan]

So you don't use glue when you close up the case?

[@dai786]

Tx, not clear, at very end do you need any glue or sticky tape to get it back together ???? or you think it's enough just to stick it together, I don't have a case, so not sure. or do yo uneed to heat it up again before closing . Tx much

[@Joost721]

Viktor M i just put te cover back on and then heated it up and then pressed it on tight

[@jbdjessa2]

So completed the battery swap but now my mobile network isn't working. Any suggestions?

[@RedRupert64]

I'd be surprised if the phone is still waterproof after this (the S7 is waterproof; not just splash-proof).

[@bassinbillRC5300]

This is why I bought a new back cover for mine and removed the old glue and used the new adhesive that came with the new glass cover.

[@cfldriven]

Samsung claims only that the S7 is water and dust resistant.

[@Maxtcc]

I simply reheated the back cover before re-installing it to make the glue once again sticky and re-applied the back. so far I can't even tell that it was opened Did my sons phone on the same day and his is also unmarked and working fine.

[@mapsandnavigation433]

@@cfldriven mine has been in few lakes and seas already, not mentioning washing under water. Had the battery replaced by Samsung while on warranty.

[@imumairqureshi]

Mostly 3rd party batteries available in markets looking like an original batteries and it is very difficult to find out the original one

[@bobflannagan7262]

I also recommend app called Battery Mix

[@JuanCarlosNieves]

I would recommend to apply adhesive on the new battery. I installed one without adhesive and was moving around with the use, it ended up ruining up the flex connector and had to buy another battery.

[@beheadingtheprophets4145]

What kind of adhesive did you use? I don't want to put anything permanent back there. Guessing Elmer's would do the trick?

[@JuanCarlosNieves]

@@beheadingtheprophets4145 I think elmer is fine, I applied one special for phone repairs just a little

[@TheChameleon2008]

So did you find out if it was a real battery or what? From my understanding is that most battery are fake on ebay

[@tramvaj1271]

It is providing electricity so it is real battery otherwise if it is toy it would not provide electricity.

[@flwolf2000]

[@heinzerbrew]

You say you almost damaged the speaker, but it looks like you are referring to the wireless charger.

[@heinzerbrew]

So, I should have watched the entire video before commenting. The "Speaker Assembly" is used with wireless chargers to charge your phone. You might want to buy or borrow a Qi charger and make sure you can still charge wirelessly since you only tested wired charging in your video. Also since you didn't re-seal the case, is your phone still as water resistant as originally equipped?

[@Tingawinga5]

Yes I tested that too, all working. Just not the most interesting footage. :)

[@heinzerbrew]

I figured it would be fine. Enjoy the new battery.

How long should one use a hair dryer on the back of the phone?

Not too long. About 2 minutes max and don't leave it over the same part of the phone for too long. I suggest a sweeping motion back and forth for about 2 mins max

everything that could go wrong did go wrong. i was a little too aggressive taking the back off so the glass broke into a million pieces. once i was in, i got out every screw except for the one on the top right (i stopped in fear of stripping it). i was able to wiggle the other important component out while leaving that thing on the top in. however, when i was putting it back together i actually snapped that black/white panel at the top (with the screw that wouldnt budge) it didnt snap all the way through so i just gently put it back together and now its working fine but i am nervous and need a new back panel. Great video tho thanks!
