Who else misses removable batteries ?

[@DemocracyDecoded]

Hardy Marty I miss them yeah but I also like the water resistance, it's hard to have both, actually it's only been done once with the galaxy s5, and it sucked cause people swap batteries and that damages the back cover more and more each time. It can be done better. If you go see the old HTC amaze, that phone had a back cover with a switch, you hold the switch and lift the cover up, I think if they follow that method, they can make a water resistant phone with removable battery, I thought of this long ago but never actually seen it done yet, very surprised.

[@brendansmith9677]

I do. I won't be buying a note 8 because of how difficulty it is to replace the battery. Probably gonna get a v20. A 2 year old phone that can last as long as I want is better than annew phone that will only last 2 years.

[@Dlite2323]

I miss the removable battery. I have the LG v20 and will keep that until she fails. BRING BACK THE REMOVABLE BATTERY!

[@brendansmith9677]

Dlite2323 true that! I will use my lg g4 until it dies. If a company makes a new flagship with a removable battery, they will have my business.

[@Lonniebelle1979]

this girl right here!

[@saucytabasco]

The one thing you forgot to mention is that in order to create a good seal you should return it to the hot plate after you get the back case back on, and press it again second time while the adhesive is softened. It will form a much better seal than the cold adhesive.

[@karther2]

I've been the tinker person in our family all my life so I developed a great sense of tinkering. Now I replace everything even SOME of the broken displays. I was given the Note 8 as a gift and immediately started worrying about the future battery replacement if necessary. Now I don't need to worry all those years thanks to your video. Thank you CellularProz!!!

[@vangfo]

4 years later I finally got a chance to follow your tutorial. Thank you

[@wopwops0482]

Man oh man. I'm staying with my Note 4 as long as possible. This is madness.

[@coryhyatt2035]

I stayed with my note 4 as long as i could. I miss removable batteries.

[@ksojoel]

I am too, with 10000 mah zerolemon battery

[@mariannesuesli5680]

still have and occasionally use my note 4

[@homantim]

Was in your boat. Now have a note 8 myself... Don't worry about destroying that back cover. Just get it off and buy a new one for like $8-9 dollars. Now that the cover is off if you can follow simple instructions you can again replace everything yourself. Just don't put that back cover back on with adhesive and let your phone case / protector hold the back on and you now have an upgraded note 4 with easily removable back. I've replaced my charging port, battery, headphone jack. Pretty easy now really.

[@hoosainm9328]

OMG! You have to disassemble the phone just to replace the battery!!! Something is definitely getting damaged during this process. So ridiculous to design phones this way! I miss the days when you could just pop out the back cover and push in the new battery. We've taken 10 steps back in design and development of these phones.

[@marilu797]

Well, the way it is now, most people get new phones frequently. Some times more than once a year! But yep..I, too, wish we had the simplicity from before.

[@PurplePinkRed]

They do it so you pay for the replacement through the store and not through a third party retailer. It's a tool to keep profits going even when you don't choose to upgrade the phone. Smart for the retailer. Not great for the consumer.

[@nathanielkeaton4775]

I would also mention a sealed battery is required to make a phone ip67 rated...it's not solely to make you replace the whole phone. People wanted water resistant phones well this is part of what it takes to do that...

[@brianmsahin]

Hotplate! What a great idea and a wonderful video, very clear! My only criticism is you used a metal tool to remove the fingerprint sensor cable. That's risky if you slip. I would definitely use a plastic tool on everything inside the phone, unless you are removing screws. My advice is always use a plastic tool to disconnect cables.

[@cezartrane92]

Brian M i was thinking the same thing. He says he worked on phones for over 10 years. And still hasn’t learn the most basic and important thing

[@matthewflores3449]

Sitting here crying as you pulled that poor amazing device apart but demonstration is necessary for learning how to do something right.

[@worachartphuklaewkla1144]

Thanks for the video. I followed every step but I didn't have a heat plate so I put my phone on the radiator for five minutes instead and that did the trick. And a word of warning - you should be careful to not pierce the battery when removing it because it started burning and it looked like it was going to explode. I bought a replacement battery from eBay for not more than £10 (including the tools) which saved me quite a bit. I found it easier to use a credit card rather than the tool that they gave us to remove the back casing after it budged a bit.

[@raynaldtorres1731]

I'm definitely not doing this myself

[@AnthonyClarkPaladin]

Phones without replaceable batteries are just stupid.

[@brendansmith9677]

Anthony Clark 100% agree

[@Cappu0212]

Agree 100%.

[@ecuchipgarage5894]

It’s not hard

[@ecuchipgarage5894]

I like the phones with no removable battery

[@TheBroacher]

Not stupid -- to the company's bottom line. And that's why we have this. Make the replacement process difficult and expensive to make the buyer seriously considering simply buying a new model and you have... well, the iPhone's success shows you what you have. Samsung (and others) are merely imitating marketing success here. If the real issue for not using replaceables was 'waterproofing', I find the whole concept that a company that can design something as sophisticated as these phones could not engineer away around that flimsy limitation. And as others have said, the fact that in the event of an accidental submersion, if you can take off the phone back, remove the battery and apply drying out remediation may actually give a real world advantage to removable battery models.

[@SergTech]

Quick suggestion to people that actually want to fix replace the battery themselves. Just make sure you pay attention to the careful process of removing the back cover because it's the most crucial part and make sure you buy a high quality or OEM battery.

[@TonyG0724]

Is it still water resistant?

[@25566]

Sad but true, my huawei recently died and I went back to my note 2, brand new battery and the phone works just fine even tho it's from 2012, now they make it harder to remove batteries not only from phones but laptops too so they have an "expiration date" to make more money :(

[@25566]

ȘȚɄƑƑɎǾɄ1oo well im running a rom with android 7.0 and most features found in the note7 have been ported so it doesnt feel old at all

[@jeffhemingway8655]

Lucky me. My battery swelled and removed the back cover. Only the protective case was holding it together.

[@kylerebman5094]

If you don't have a really good suction cup, you might as well just use a thin knife to get that glass panel off or you'll be trying to safely get the glass off for hours. Might as well buy a replacement glass panel for $9 off eBay to save you the frustration. Or buy a better suction cup

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

Yes as I just did both. New back had the camera glass in it. Put the thumb print sensor in phone popped new back on no messing with attachment angle on the back conver

[@RubiconSahara]

This video will be handy in the future when people want to do color swaps. In a couple of months all the color backs will be available and someone that wanted deep blue in the beginning but couldn't get it in the US will be taking the back off to do the swap. I just wouldn't trust that it is still fully water resistant. Once that seal is broken it will never be the same again. Great thought getting the video out early and cornering the revenue stream and search results on it!

[@dr.donnawalter4380]

I went to subscribe but looks like I already am. I like at least knowing how it is done even if I take it in. Someone told me at the phone store that when your battery dies you buy a new phone. Research shows that not to be true and if you shop around you can find a place to replace the battery for not much over the cost of the battery. I like to keep my tech around mostly because I find trying to keep up with how much it changes like learning a whole new language but am now there with an Android phone and laptop. I have used KZbin over the years to learn the "how to" of many of the different repairs/replacements and your video will prove useful - seemed that you covered all the steps. Some miss a step or two leaving the person to figure it out after you have a mess around you with the job half done. I imagine many phones to have a similar process? Thank you.

[@Sheyz123]

I would never buy this. I like to have more control over my phone batteries. This is the very reason I never bought an iPhone... By the way your instructions were very good!👍

[@jeffo8722]

hi. great tutorial. just wondering...after disconnecting the old battery then placing in the new one, does the phone do a factory reset? do you loose all your previously stored files? did you re-apply heat to seal the phone again? where do you buy new adhesive if you need it? lots of unanswered finer details needed before attempting this. thankyou.

[@andymackellar]

This was great... in the end I had to use a metal straight edge to cut in to the adhesive for the back cover... in fact the edge of a razor blade.... oh so carefully as it was a friends phone !!! worked tho..

[@davidblosser5095]

I enjoyed your video but try the opposite side of the thermal scale I use liquid nitrogen spray bottles to take the back glass it makes the glue brittle I have been able to pull the glass off just by pulling on it didn't expect for it to come off easy which resulted in a torn fingerprint scanner ribbon now I know liquid nitrogen is boss but if u cool the glass to fast it can break I just let the phone warm in a ziplock bag with the phone in napkins to make sure the moisture doesn't damage from the freezer I have no luck with a heat gun but ur the first I saw use a heat plate kudos brotha

[@9620852]

You did wonderful job.

Does anybody know, what the heads of the screws are? Are day philips, hexagonal, torx etc...?

[@ish562]

[@bgINSTINCT]

Ish, Thank you!

[@LGVX9900ENV]

I know that this video is how to change the battery in a Samsung Galaxy Note 8… well supposed to be. I got the back off my phone and it looks similar to mine. But there are a shit ton of screws in mine and the battery connection is some where under a large plastic plate. I doubt that the phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. There were a few things that I could have cared less to know and a lot of things that I would have liked to know. Another person asks Who else misses removable batteries… I know that we all loved the ease of popping a plate off and changing it. They definitely need to bring that stuff back. Also videos on how to work on the exact thing that you are trying to fix. I know I am an ass and I have been getting help for that. However it’s just as useful as some KZbin videos.

[@Daedricbob]

Very useful video, many thanks!

[@SamSung-nf6tr]

Thanks for the video. I was very interested in the phone but I can not buy a phone that does not allow me to easily swap batteries when one drains.

[@JeffKirkley]

Good video. Question - does removing the battery perform a factory reset on the device? Thinking no, but your video shows it coming up in a new default configuration. Thanks!

[@michimelody4036]

It doesnt normally the guy at the mall did mine and it came back up with my regular stuff but he warned me it could reset it.

[@Sheyz123]

Samsung Note has always been my favorite. Besides the pen and size, I could buy an extra battery and change it out when I needed to.

[@gilsela495]

Thanks you Samsung for making it super hard to replace the battery.

[@djpcradock]

Be REALLY carefull when removing the back cover, not only to not damage the cable, but also, the entire back cover is incredibly brittle, being made of some kinda glass, I rushed, didn't heat enough, applied too much pressure to pry the thing open and cracked the back of the case. Still works, but looks like crap now.

[@peterpan408]

Just wait until your battery puffs up like a pillow, it will pry it off for you!

[@djpcradock]

@@peterpan408that’s what I should’ve done! Great tip! :)

[@misspiggy9647]

Remember when you could just take the back of your phone off easily and replace the battery yourself without any tools? Those were the days.

[@DRCEM]

Now test it for water resistance after that battery replacement

[@LeonCamero]

CEM FX It's no longer water resistant once you remove the Adhesive.

[@DRCEM]

He did talk about reusing the adhesive or adding your own so seemed like a seal could possibly still be intact

[@LeonCamero]

CEM FX You have to use the same water resistant adhesive Samsung uses.

[@LeonCamero]

Jonathon LaFond silicone... hmm, that's a new one.

[@lql1094]

I wouldn't care about waterproofing to begin with, and as another commenter said -- REPLACEABLE BATTERIES are more condusive to water damage. You can dry out the phone once you remove the battery.

[@interferent983]

My new battery came without this black perforated sticker that is attached to the front of the old one. Does it any problem? Should I get such new sticker or something to replace it?

[@vladimirputin9202]

what type of adhesive would you recommend to seal it back up?

[@sismj6455]

[@michimelody4036]

Mine keeps coming back apart it's drivin me crazy the damn phone keeps overheating on its own and acting like it's own hotplate.

Hey great job…Do you use an OEM Samsung battery ? If so where is the the best place to order one.?

[@EliteDebate]

Excellent video! Subscribed!

[@EvelynHernandez]

have you had the issue of a galaxy note 8 not working after the battery died at 0%?? mine died and not when I plug it in, I keep getting a little tiny line (like when old TVs turn off) but it never actually starts charging nor does it ever show any other signs of it coming back to life. I even attempted to stack charge it many times and that didnt work either... =/

[@kingsdrip329]

@Serg Tech My phone says "fast charging" but charges hella slow, also heats up OVER EXCESSIVE do you maybe know what's the problem

[@izzysoll]

I don't understand, the galaxy s 5 mini has a removable back and battery and still remains waterproof. Why can't they do that with this phone?

[@wcsoblake85]

****The ribbon cable for the fingerprint scanner is very easy to tear or break. Be careful prying on the back cover from the phones left side****

[@MMz_5150]

How do you make it waterproof after that? Can I go pick up a special adhesive to take care of that issue or is it no longer possible?

[@jazeeratech1594]

thanks this is so helpful

[@whatisthisevenfor26]

I have a Verizon Samsung galaxy Note 5 blue 64GB... I would like to swap the back Glass panel to white as well as the front.... A place called Cpr cell phone repair quoted me $325.00 i'm a little nervous my phone should work the same if I go ahead with this??

[@Thomas-fk6ep]

I skimmed through the vid, but does replacing the battery this way decrease or remove its waterproof rating?

[@kingumarii]

Is it possible to install bigger size " in terms of capacity " battery in note 8 like 4500mah

Thinking of note 9 battery in note 8 i hope it fits 3300 to 4000mah

[@valeriachavez3263]

What kind of adhesive would you need to use for the back cover?

[@iwantabeadv8]

Don't do with this guy did and pry the battery out pressing against the logic board you'll do damage pry from the other side better yet take the logic board out first then remove the battery

[@gbalbinot]

I did that and the battery case wall bent over and the wireless charging pad was not aligning with the screw role. Had to unbend it, really hard. I don't recommend pressing against the board.

[@frozenwitcher]

Is it gonna be still IP68?

[@nitinjaiswal3000]

Did it still retain its ip68 rating ? Or it's not waterproof anymore ?

[@DemocracyDecoded]

Hello, do you think that the phone will still be water resistant even after battery replacement?

[@sourceoflight4637]

Appreciate the video bud.

[@superu9244]

For all you with the negative comments. WHY are you even watching the video? It's not easy if you don"t know what you're doing. Its easy if you do know. People don't just take it off only to replace the battery or cover, there are hardware mods, custom back covers that ARE removable. Also, custom camera lens zoom extenders, extra battery add on's, etc. etc. comments are funny though

Great video. Thanks

[@maxpaul7102]

disable apps that you dont use and other services that you dont use. itll last longer.. also samsung displays are a bit too vivid so tone down brightness a bit and if possible, minimal vibration and use apps 1 or 2 at a time in the background.

[@young2125]

they could have made a little bigger battery

[@Killou]

no, because of the place that the S-pen takes, the battery will obviously be a little smaller, compared to the S8, who has no S-pen

David Young the battery lasts twice as long as the iPhone 7 plus and 30% longer than the s8 plus. The battery is fine.

None of this would be necessary on a Note 4, where you can replace the battery in seconds. I am keeping my Note 4 for as long as it works, and when it breaks I shall try to get another one. It's now on its third battery. There is NO WAY that I will buy a stupid Note 8 that is designed to die in 18 months.

Ralph Hancock I'm keeping my note 4 and my note edge but this note 8 is a much more Superior device by far. I love my note 8. I have a battery case so I'm good. But I don't need it right now because the battery life on this phone is great

[@doc-holliday-]

Yeah thats why i kept my note 4 for so long as well. unfortunately its in the last stages of a terminal case of the ssd flash memory issue. No amount of wakelock or new batteries can save it now, so im forced to finally upgrade. Pisses me off just watching this video knowing how incredibly fucking easy it is to have a removable battery. I'm someone who built my own PC so im not against tinkering with electronics but there is just absolutely no reason for this at all.
