Thanks for posting and sharing. Not only the permanently glued battery is difficult and dangerous to remove, but also it is very unlikely that anyone will be able to buy a replacement battery because the factory assumes it is fixed in place and cannot be replaced. Really a big turnoff to buy the G8!!

[@danz107]

I just did a screen replacement today on my G8 ThinQ, and it went well! I removed the battery (after everything else) with a generous amount of isopropyl alcohol and 3 plastic picks. Much better than the "pry of shame" and I managed to get it out without bending it at all. Gotta say, watching you pull parts out of the phone with a metal utility knife and pry tools makes me cringe though.

[@cwoza5]

[@FaryaWolyo_]

It's awful, because this phone truly has some great features, the dual screen modular addition, good battery life, great RAM and processing speed for the pricepoint. When I bought this phone, it truly stood out in price to performance ratio, nothing came close. I guess there's always a catch...

[@JRadian]

LG G8 also had audiophile Sabre DAC chips and actual physical headphone jack, which sounds great. It had removable SD card slot, and I also like their camera's color rendering and overall look of photos. I've used my G8 for 3 years, and now the battery's running down faster and likely dying. Seeing this vid about glued-in battery is discouraging, as there is no equivalent mobile phone available to purchase on the market today with all the features G8 had..

Little trick I use....get some electronics cleaner from Radio Shack. Did my first G8 today and removed the battery in about 45 seconds without bending it. With the tube on the sprayer, I sprayed a little bit around the edges and let it sit for about 5 seconds. Was able to get a plastic pry tool under it and lift it a little bit. Sprayed some more under the battery and it practically fell out. That stuff breaks the adhesive down so much better than plain old alcohol.

Strain isn't good for the ribbon cable, and a small amount of space is given so the battery can naturally expand and contract due to temperature and wear changes. A loose battery could damage the ribbon cable and/or disconnect, rendering the phone useless. Plus, bouncing around could also bend the corner of the battery, which could cause it to blow up like the Nite 7 did.

@@forceablepizza764 Oof, admittedly I reused the adhesive from my old battery, but the s6 edge didn't use pull tabs, so all the adhesive was left behind on the midframe and could secure the new battery in place.

I really don't know the reasoning behind LG pulling this stunt with the battery, a person's right to repair their phones as they see fit is honestly pretty cool but is also the essential part of owning a investment such as a flagship phone. Thanks, Zach! Edit: Zach is his real name and I keep mistaking it, BRB about to cry in the corner

[@svetko05]

I think we're gonna see the same from other manufacturers. The last couple of years smartphone technology is slowing. Phones from 2016 can easily be still used today. The new phones just have a couple of more gimmicks that are rarely used by the average person. And most people wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars just to have the newest phone while their old one is still good. That's why manufacturers have to make their phones last just a couple of years so people would buy their new ones.

[@svetko05]

@Samsung Galaxy S7 edge yeah, i had a nexus 5 (which was made by lg) and it was a great phone. It was so easy to repair. I've cracked the screen and just replaced it, I've changed the battery two times without a problem. The only issue was a little connector which I've damaged unfortunately and the screen was flickering sometimes. It was annoying and had to get a new phone, but the nexus is still working and i would've use it if it wasn't that problem

[@itIsI988]

@Samsung Galaxy S7 edge My S7 could probably use a new battery, though.

Thanks. thanks to you, I now know a little about IP 68 and MIL-STD-810. Today it is fashionable to have a quick battery charge, and as a result, access to a quick replacement. Probably with standard charging, the battery will last a long time. That's why they stuck it on. It should last two or three years. And there, 5G smartphones are getting cheaper. Persuaded IDA to buy G8s.

LG: don't remove the battery Zack: You can't tell me nothing

[@Ghlargh]

Here's a tip: If you need to remove a battery for replacement you can fully discharge first by attaching a resistor across it or even just leaving the phone turned on until it dies, a battery discharged to the protection chip threshold is very unlikely to catch fire even if crushed or punctured since the mechanism that starts the wild explosive fires we have seen needs electrical energy to heat up the internals of the battery. Still, disassembly should be done outside or at least near something fireproof like an oven pan to throw the burning phone into...

If LG kept their easy replacement of battery philosophy and kept fresh batteries in production they would see an increase in market share. That is one thing that definitely would set them apart, giving customers a remedy against all smartphone's Aquiles tendon. Their phones are/were pretty cool in every other way. I used a G5 for five years because I could replace the battery myself... what? Bad customer bad customer! avoiding premature obsolescence!
