Well now im really regretting getting this phone.

[@viljar_5339]

Why?

[@sobiaafroze7622]

JiffyPopLuv me too

[@aniqfieqran9193]

Same dude

[@angy101rulz]

JiffyPopLuv Just get a case. This is an excellent phone.

[@MrFlameRad]

Me too, I've been using galaxy phones for 5 years now (I've had 3 different generations) and every time after 6 months, the battery becomes embarrassingly bad. I got my s8 and I'd literally only charge it at night and now the battery drains within a couple hours of LIGHT usage, if I'm heavy using it I can go through a full charge in less than 2 hours. This has happened with every galaxy phone I've owned, and every time I think "surely they'll fix this problem on the next phone" but they never do. Along with the battery, these phones also become significantly slower. My next phone is gonna be a new brand of flagship Android with my #1 priority being long-term battery life because this is getting sickening

[@natezimmerman9391]

got my replacement part, thanks for the video!! Saved me a ton of money, appreciate it man!!

[@FrEaKaCcIdEnT]

Water dunk test after cover removal? I like that another video explained that the inside could be scratched off to reveal a clear back cover. I would just want to make sure there was a new adhesive gasket to ensure the OEM quality water resistance rating.

[@datingsas]

No warranty for water damage from factory though so doesn't really mean anything. Keep your phone away from water.

[@malcolmbarrett9175]

You just saved me money. Thank you, worked like a charm.

[@richardalaniz5464]

1. Use a fair amount of heat. 2. Use a playing card, it is the perfect size and removes the adhesive almost perfectly. 3. When replacing the cover, reheat the glass while it is on and you will get much better adhesion. Also the black adhesive waterproofing will adhere much better and not push the cover back out. Take your time and use the heat to your advantage.

[@77seconds33]

Thank you so much. This worked brilliantly for me.

[@0z2010]

Damn I'm glad I read the comments before tryin this. His technique looks kinda damaging to the phone if you're not good with your hands.

[@James-xl2dm]

How do I put the back back on if I take it off? what tape/adhesive do I use

[@piagoode2220]

Thanks for the video. I wasn't sure if it was clips with a waterproof seal or adhesive. Your video told me. Advice to you and your viewers... reheat the phone periodically as you spudge it off.

[@findingthetruthfacts2281]

GREAT VIDEO! have you had any luck on a water damaged phone? It does turn on but the screen looks scrambled, is there any hope? Thank you!!

[@kickmonlee3390]

Yeah it really shouldn't be this complicated. My old galaxy s5 was also water resistant to the same depth as the my new galaxy s8 but the whole back could be removed in an instant. Now that I have to replace the headphone jack I am a bit peeved that its this hard to take off the back of it. This will be the first time I needed to do it, and the s8 back looks much more slick than the s5 back, so there are pros and cons to it.

[@bloch009]

It really works honestly

[@ganyu6521]

"Use a prying tool" That looks like a generic Fender pick to me, but I also thought of using one for this as well

[@ashernajmi]

Does it matter if old cover breaks while removing it since a new back plate is going to be put on phone.

[@becdelmo7248]

Yeeeeah I aint doing that.

[@Mck499]

what if i cannot turn my phone off, thats why im tacking the battery out so i can restart it, do i have to have it turned off or can i remove it while it's on?

[@kurumtokfaithtongret8827]

Does the new cover come with its gum? Or do I have to add gum before placing the new one

[@ashernajmi]

Do we need to put some glue on the new piece - back cover of s8 - before pressing the back piece on ! !

[@ys0456]

This is so easy you make it seem so difficult

[@xRostro]

How does one do this without chipping off some of the paint on the back of it?

[@quinnanneaverell3534]

thank you for this. i was going to get an s8, but now im having second thoughts.

First thing I did after I bought this phone was buy and extra glass back for $12.00. sure enough, I needed it. This is a major flaw in this design. What were they thinking?

[@chrismartin4603]

So, you showed me how to get my brand new $850.00 broken back glass off, can you tell me where I can buy a new back glass for less than buying a new phone. Had phone about 12 hours then BAMMM.

[@caseyclark515]

Chris Martin just pulled mine out of my pocket and now have a crack behind the lock button. haven't dropped it or banged it on anything. this sucks haha.

Chris, so you're saying you opened the back for no reason, just to break it? you're a true idiot.

you think a credit card is thin enough to use as a prying tool?

You failed to mention how to gentley disconnet the cable behind the fingerprint sensor

i dont have a heatgun or a hair dryer - how can i apply heat safely?

[@RobertJohnson-gj1wy]

people so negative ... yes it brakes the waterproofing but i just sent my phone away to have a failed battery replaced and they will not replace it till i pay £270 for a new screen as it has a very small crack at the bottom left .. so after looking at this video i can now replace my battery and not pay £270 for a screen i do not need

[@MrDoomzy]

What song??

[@leumaswong]

so old mate here just showed us how to wreck the waterproofing of the phone and not to mention show the whole world the phone's IMEI number. pretty annoyed as well, had my phone for less than a week and all 4 back corners are cracked already.

You probably figured it out already, but for other people, make sure to note that there is a hole on the top right of your phone, where you insert the pin that came in the phone box, then a little compartment pops up where you put in the SD card. Good luck!

How about you RTFM? Read The Fucking Manual!

@ @@TheMrVengeance: From someone who read the flimsy arse freaking one-page 7"x10" useless "folded manual" that came with my brand new phone, it does *** NOT *** mention or a provide an illustration of where we can even FIND the sim tray.

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@Deelifull - Then maybe stop buying your phone on the black market. Mine came with a 100+ page user manual, where setup/installing the SIM is the first chapter. Including a picture of where it is. Just Google 'Galaxy S8 manual' and you'll find a PDF version. It's not hard.

[@ColeKetzel]

If I replace the back of my s8 plus will it damage the water resistance ?

Probably. The cracked glass will probably also allow water in. I just ordered a new back but, my guess is that it won't last.

Miranda Mcgriff no no no don't buy it from ebay . it might be cheaper but it won't do the work it's a fake version the sensor won't work and it will break again even faster . i suggest you get the original back cover from the samsung company, it might cost you more than 150$ tho !
