How To Re-Apply Adhesive to Your Samsung Galaxy Phone!

[@1000darkslayer]

@iFixit a thing to mention is that the books work for the back cover as a weight but not for the display as I've done this with adhesive bought from a local store, your adhesive parts, glue (5000) for LCD, and with the book weights in never succeeds, it always lifts up after a day or so. After attempting to fix 10+ S6 Edge smartphones the only solution was to use a T-7000 glue and carefully apply it in the bezels, after that I needed to let the phone clamped with 8 claps for 40 hours. Tried 4,8,24,32,40 and tested the time needed, thus far every model I repaired needs 40-42 hours until the screen stays glued to the bezels, I recommend you to make a guide about using adhesives and general ones which anyone can find worldwide and especially glues (I used B5000 as well but the screen always comes off even after a month.)

[@heyjohnsmith]

Hey thanks for your insights on this, hard to find a clear answer, especially on how long the method would last

[@David_337]

remember when you could just take the back cover off and snap it back on?

[@kristazieschang1205]

why would you want to have something that works?

[@matssundin1292]

Assholes made it so hard to replace things you would need to buy a brand new phone

[@moofish2583]

I loved my Lego phone!

[@hphp7587]

That was when we used phones only for calls or some text messaged. Waterproofing is important now that we use mobile as long as we are awake.

[@David_337]

​@@hphp7587 Relatively recent flagship smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG phones had removable back covers AND had an IP67 rating for waterproofing. And they had all of the bells and whistles like NFC and wireless charging. In fact, non-removable back covers were known to be mostly an iPhone thing in that era, and one of the things Android users boasted about was being able to swap batteries. It's all excuses by the manufacturers. You can do waterproofing and removable batteries/covers just fine. They've been doing that until they all decided in unison that they'd rather save a few dollars on manufacturing and encourage you to buy new phones more often. The same happened with removing the headphone jack (which phones with IP67 rating also had) to save on manufacturing and to encourage buying overpriced wireless earbuds.

[@czibbell74]

This should be linked on the store with the adhesives, as this is probably the most difficult part of the whole process. Especially for us perfectionist types, who also want to try to get the best possible seal on our previously waterproof devices.

[@sjaool]

Finally! It was about time you did a video of how to do this. Thank you. 🙂

[@WolvenSpectre]

Also check the adhesive used as some has to be heated after closing but before compressing it as it will not cure/adhere correctly if you don't.

[@ilfansetyanur4893]

is there a back door adhesive for the samsung a52 version? if there is a tutorial?

[@SLO_MZ3]

thanks so much this helped with a little project I had. I made my s10 plus completely see-through without using skins and gave the phone an extremely premium look compared to skins.

[@helengraff9840]

I am one of those people who doesn't mind spending hours (if need be) searching the web for DIY repairs. The adhesive strip on the rear panel of my phone was coming apart so I took it to Tmobile and was told that if I paid $100 they would send me a new phone. Thanks to Google I can fix it myself for less than $10.00!!! TY so,so much. When someone says "Google it" you can be rest assured that when you ask Google a question (no matter how dumb it may sound ) you are 100% guaranteed to find the answer!!! Google has saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in costly car repairs. I just watch the videos, make sure I have the proper tools and then I DIY!!!

Hey everyone. Any further tips apart from the ones in the video? I'm going for a second attempt at resealing the back cover of my S20 Plus this weekend. Last attempt the cover just wouldn't fully stick, despite placing weight plates on it overnight 😢. Thanks.

[@MidnightCurrent]

Thanks a lot. The adhesive in my phone coming out

[@Zeberka767]

The isopropyl alcohol we need to use, would you say that it should be like 70% or 90% alcohol? Also, if we choose to use a glue instead of adhesive strips, would the E6000 glue be suitable for cell phone repairs?

[@bobthrasher8226]

90%

[@wafaken]

Thank you for this.

[@anishiyer1992]

Is it safe to give device for this purpose in service center as they said they will take this thing one hour

[@jamescabiera2042]

Does replacing the adhesives remove it's waterproofing capability?

[@jennysergio9028]

Same question too .

[@carper1220]

The point of installing these pre-cut adhesives is to keep the water resistance when replacing screen, batteries etc. That's why they're shaped the way they are, which is the same as the original one, that by the point you have opened your phone, lost its water-sealing capabilities. So yes, if you want to keep your phone mostly* waterproof, be sure to use them instead of just glue or hand-cut adhesive. They-re probably not as reliable as the original one, but so isn't a cracked screen.

[@marshall5]

Thank you

[@alexeysolovyov9465]

What about ip68 after using this adhesive?

Nope

Do I need to the glue after sealing the phone?

[@kristazieschang1205]

I just put extra books on a book shelf, super tight, then slid the phone, in between the super tight books.

[@dod280]

On the shop site are no adhesive Strips available for the s9+ but for every oder Modell is. Why so?

[@darrencashen7064]

I see on the store you don't have any adhesives for the A50

[@beastmedic1st575]

thank you.

[@Angofar]

Where can I get these straps of adhesive. Can I use ordinary glue

[@shininsemnia3825]

I bought from aliexpress, if you want to use glue please do not use super glue, it does not end well for me. I used b7000 glue but there is many other glue you can google it. Some advice from shop expert said that if you use the glue do not proceed to install the back cover or screen the moment after apply glue, let it solidify a bit (not totally soldified, as long as it not in liquid anymore) then install the screen/cover. If you install the screen while glue still liquid, you might seep the glue inside the screen or other component they advice.

[@kristazieschang1205]

@@shininsemnia3825 I used regular glue, and it would not hold. I used a minimum amount of super glue, and it worked.

[@none8680]

Do these adhesives bring back the water resistance?

[@knottycord]

No once the phone is open, it is not IP68 anymore. Rain won't matter tho.

[@70a55]

Everyone hates on apple because you can’t do repairs yourself. Now what does Samsung do?!

[@thatdude5104]

People dont need to do repairs themselves, ymthere just need to be proper parts available which Apple doesnt provide for 3rd party repair

[@CRAZCHEVBOY]

should show the side of it when it was done to see if theres a gap or no gap is it normal to have a small little gap?

[@rgruenhaus]

My Galaxy S20 Ultra back adhesive must have heated up enough in it's case that the back is coming off. So I just want to reseal it.

[@akhilkt1854]

My galaxy s20 seems to have the same issue.Did you use the strip or any other glue to put it back in place?

[@rgruenhaus]

@Akhil K T I got Samsung involved and with enough tries at T-Mobile store and an authorized repair place an hour away that only seemed like they were a scam and then Samsung authorized me to send the phone to their repair facility and after 8 days they sent me a new Galaxy S20 Ultra! Free of charge! It must be a known swollen battery defect that Samsung is not recalling like so many other companies do. You send it to them and they determine what they already knew! It might not have happened to all.

[@Matt-nx1vs]

Well build me a adhesive for my uh....something that wont matter you

[@dlocknessmonsta8431]

Just use gorilla two-sided mounting tape and a pair of scissors to cut the tape into thin strips that you then place along the sides of the back cover of your phone. Peel off the other plastic on the other side of the tape and then firmly press it down on the back of your phone. Problem solved! No need to order these special adhesive kits from Amazon or other websites. Look no further than your local hardware store.

no. You'll never be able to open the phone again.

Trust me I used super glue once, and it does not end well. Super glue after harden is permanent, you cannot open anymore, without damaging other material.
