To me I think if you made the sled out of aluminum and merge it with the heatsink you can reduce the weight, improve durability, and improve heat transfer. This change would go really well if you manage to overclock it.

[@TurboBass]

The SoC is on the other side of the motherboard. It touches the frame, screen and probably a heatsink to exhaust heat. You've added thermal mass but not in the most optimal place.

[@bhoot1702]

It will be too difficult to fit that big heat sink in front. I think back will also be fine since the soc also shares heat dissipation with the back part. It might not be as efficient but it will be better than it was imo

[@TurboBass]

@@bhoot1702 Yeah he just mentioned that he thought it was the CPU but it is on the other side. Adding thermal mass is adding thermal mass, there'll be a net positive to the sink part of heatsink, but it could be loads better if there was more direct contact.

[@GUMTOON]

Where do you expect him to put it? Directly on the screen? 😂

[@TurboBass]

@@GUMTOON Obviously not. Using copper tape or a shim or something of the like could result in a way to pipe heat from the front side to an area where it can be exhausted from, perhaps by replacing the existing thermal solution.

This kinda content made me started to “hangout” in youtube 14 years ago. amazing work!! You just got yourself a +1 subs

[@darkride196]

Hey there. The first issue I wanted to note is the use of the copper in the heatsink replacement. Without a heat pipe, You're looking at the quick thermal saturation of any interface or its materials without a meaningful transfer of energy to the actual heatsink added to the copper. This is because based on Thermal Conductivity alone Copper does a good job of absorbing heat, but it doesn't do a great job of transferring it. Copper sits around 400W/Mk of thermal conductivity, while a heat pipe can be in excess of 5000-100,000W/Mk. This means that the heatsink would be slow to heat and hard to cool effectively. If you were to place a heat pipe across the length of the heatsink, it would work much better, to the point where you would near instantly see a difference in temperature from the SOC to the end of your heatsink. Secondly, The issue with the Double battery is apparent almost instantly- due to the fact that you double capacity, you double charging times quite readily, and without the BMS to consider the second battery's health, It will assume that one battery provides the charge for both. Since the BMS only controls voltage and wear leveling, and doesn't have a way to monitor each cell individually, you can very quickly end up with a situation where you see your battery jumping around levels depending on which battery's voltage reads the highest- since they are separate cells, there is the very real possibility of the internal resistance of one cell not matching the other, causing step voltage matching. This means that the batteries face the very real possibility of mis-matched wearing and eventually diminished capacity and failure of one or more of the batteries. Usually this is corrected in BMS monitoring of multi-celled devices through what amounts to a circuit that separates the cells from one another, but ties the output together allowing them to charge individually. The K5 Pro works but currently you have an issue with the setup of the heatsink- right now it goes (assuming the Mfrs used a thermal pad) SOC>Thermal pad>Graphite pad>Aluminum>K5 Pro>Copper>Solder>Copper>Solder>Copper>Solder>Copper>Solder>M.2 Heatsink. All those layers cause a loss in heat transfer, reducing the effective area of the copper and essentially pocketing areas of the copper that didn't fully get brazed (if you ever shear the heatsink apart, consider looking at the shims and you'll see pockets where the solder didn't reach fully, it's simply because of the change of Flux to a gaseous state causing solder to have voids." Ideally, the removal of the aluminum and thermal pads would mitigate this entirely, if in addition you swapped to a heat-pipe design. In this case you'd see SOC>TIM/K5>Copper>Solder>Heat pipe>Solder>Heatsink. Also, you *technically* don't even need the first layer of copper attached to the heat pipe, and could attach it directly to the SOC by flattening it on one side, making sure not to crush the actual pipe. This would also decrease the weight of the build. A final consideration is the fact that there is an opportunity here to fab the entire outside case out of a block of copper, that you would then attach to the heat-pipe through soldering, and get passive cooling without an open area for the M.2 heatsink. At their max, these SOCs use about 10-13W of heat, meaning it can be easily dissipated passively in this regard. All in All it is a novel idea and i appreciate the video- just some thoughts on what I would consider. (I was someone who built their own laptop heatsinks in the 2016-2020 years, particularly for Clevos)

[@chench1lla]

Have you come across any BMS board that refuse to work with multiple cells?

[@Dtr146]

@@chench1lla no not really. But, I've never really increased the number of cells by what some could consider an unreasonable amount. I have a electronic air duster that lasts like 3 minutes at full blast which isn't enough time to really do anything. I opened it up and it had three batteries in series. So I took three batteries and combined them in series in the same way that they were in the device. I hooked those two up in parallel and connected them to the BMS. It doesn't last twice as long but it does last a good bit longer. You just need to make sure that if you're trying to increase capacity. You put them in parallel. Putting them in series increases the amount of voltage they can produce.

[@SumitMishra-qm4ql]

It's simple af .. Assume 4v 150mah battery example 4v 150 + 4v 150 (in series) = 8v 150mah 4v 150 + 4v 150 (in parallel) = 4v 300mah.

You should recalibrate the battery because the phone can't really recognize that it has a bigger battery and it will have some charging problems, you can just set the capacity manually if the phone is rooted but since you can't root it, it's worth trying to recalibrate it...just for the sake of it 🙂

[@schwuzi]

You don't need to do that. The phone doesn't know how many Ah are in the battery. It can only use the voltage as a reference. Since the batteries are in parallel the voltage will be the same and will just drop slower (or charge slower for that matter)

[@alexmcdaniel116]

​@chizisj true, but that's more of a reference for the phone, as it's going to use the more important voltage as it's metric to determine how much is left especially given that the mAh/Ah of a battery will change/decrease over time

[@SweBeach2023]

​@@chizisjTo hardcode a certain capacity value would quickly turn disastrous as overcharging a degraded battery could make it explode. Voltage is the important metric. Of course current can and often is measured. But it doesn't impact the charging procedure.

I added a larger battery to an old phone and it shows the battery level dropping over time even though the voltage is via a regulator and never changes.

[@bfbunny]

Two little advice that I think I can provide: I personally don't think that using copper as a heat conductor from the Soc to the fins is not very effective, even though copper is some of the most thermally conductive metal on earth. However, there is this thing called heat pipe, which is more effective than copper at conducting heat, especially at longer distances. Samsung used vapor chambers (basically a flattened out heat pipe) to cool some of their phones' Soc. Maybe you can use a heat pipe or two to get the heat of the Soc into the fins faster. I think the Soc of modern phones typically face towards the screen, so in this project you are likely to be cooling the back of the Soc through a metal shield, and there is a possibility that there is an air gap under this shield. It might not be too big of a concern, but for an "ultimate DIY gaming phone", it would be interesting to see whether desoldering that shield, adding a blob of thermal paste, and soldering the shield back on will help with heat dissipation. Other than that, great work, and thanks to you I now know an easy way to get cheap phones😆

[@bulletpunch9317]

Heat pipe is just copper in different shape.

[@bfbunny]

@@bulletpunch9317 Actually, it is not. Heat pipes and vapor chambers both use the heat of evaporation and condensation to move liquid around inside the copper enclosure, allowing for a much higher thermal conductivity than regular solid copper.

[@bulletpunch9317]

@@bfbunny sure, i know its not solid, i thought you had no idea whay heatpipes were made of.

[@marwanbaghdadi7321]

Great points. I thought he would desolder the shield. I always suspected that the soc will face the screen, and that somehow a better option would include both. If that's not possible, a heatsink to the back would work. A perfect option would add a small quiet fan, which would open the path for overclocking it a bit. I know Samsung phones have the game center power optimization which I assume overclock the phone to some extent. Otherwise Geekerwan had some crazy creations of their own. Seemed promising. I have a spare pocoF1 lying around. I might do something similar with it.

In case you wanted the absolute best performance in thermal transfer, there are a handful of companies that will just sell you pre-bent, pre-flattened heat pipes of various dimensions. The only challenge is actually attaching other bits to the heat pipes. You can solder to them, but you need to use a relatively low temperature solder and you need to use a fair amount of heat because the heat pipe will be sinking that heat rapidly. But you can't use too much heat or the liquid inside will boil and it'll pop.

Needless to say, I got a new phone 4 years ago, which I use today. Is it possible to upgrade somehow the Allview phone to make it usable today? I upgraded countless PC's and laptops but I know phones are different.

I was in the same boat with my Oneplus 2, in the end it didn't really run anything either and I still wish I could upgrade the hardware on it somehow. It's the same vintage as that Allview and I did end up buying a Nord 4 years ago too. If only I could drop in a new mainboard on that Oneplus 2, it definitely is better quality phone than that Nord even though Nord was around 130€ more expensive. There isn't really anything you can do hardware wise but on the software side you could try flashing a custom rom on it, I know there was plenty of options on the Oneplus 2 with Lineage OS being the most popular. I didn't end up doing it because at the time I heard that there were caveats on using custom roms, as the phone was essentially hacked after that and wasn't running factory software, some secure services wouldn't work on them like banking apps.

@TehAlekzi the thing I can probably do is update the android version, albeit with a usb stick and other whatnots.. I tried once but just couldn't

[@Ryan_trends10]

The wood and black does give me a mix of the classy/expensive and retro era vibe, yes, i am from the Atari 2600 age, wood and black.

I used to listen to a cool ska/bluegrass fusion band called Silver Hearts. You sound and look like their Trombone player. And I'm glad I found your channel.

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

2:28 The phone running away while you are explaining to it how you are going to replace it’s internal organs :)

[@horatioswrld]

First off, algorithm is great. I was watching DIY Perks and they suggested you. Second, I want that so bad.

6:55 What a creative way to say subscribe 😂❤ Subbed🙂

[@kimbonguno4741]

Add a Heat sink extension(copper sheet) to the battery too !! it will Help the Battery heating when One charges their phone while Using it

[@ilovehater2323]

It was probably easy to hook up another battery because some smart phones have spilt batterys already like the z flip

[@208Concepts]

Better late than never but one note on the SOC. You actually attached the heat sink to the RF shield. Underneath is usually the radio/modem, SOC and RAM.

[@matcauthon1081]

You should try working with aluminum heatsinks, I know this one didn't need it but you get get a bit more performance out of them

[@perpetuaandy4224]

Bro, in my country that's a lot of money.. amazing work... Kudos

[@a-_-._.]

[@KapteinFruit]

The "ad-read" got me. Im like a cowboy in the west with skipping ads, you win this one. ;) By the way, pretty cool project. I dig it. :)

[@gamer-carbongg8582]

the ad caught me lacking I was already looking where the end is

[@acitizengrace]

I definitely knew you were from Toronto when I saw that re-useable grocery bag!

[@1ohmwrecker]

As a welder, heres a tip. If u want to remove heat marks without grinding... you can use lysol 'power' toilet bowl cleaner. Just make sure to rinse well.
