I'm on year 4 with this phone and a whole lotta money saved. 3 factory resets and now a battery replacement thanks to your post. Stacks of gratitude for posting!

[@croschko]

whats the use of factory reset

[@owenSHOK]

@@croschko boost the speed of the phone and the overall responsiveness

[@nevfrazer8135]

Thank you for making this video. Easy to follow instructions. I changed the battery in my Nexus 5x and feel disproportionately proud of myself.

[@steveschlei3086]

Thanks for the video. Removed case, screws, old battery, installed new battery and put everything back together again in less that an hour. Would not have thought about doing it myself without this video.

[@AgustinCabra]

Removing the old battery is tricky since it is glued to the phone, be careful not to rip the black cover of the battery, mine accidentally sent a couple of sparks. Thanks for the video, the replacement worked!

[@harveywilliams7013]

There's double sided tape just underneath the camera (behind the frame). There's also a butt-load of double sided tape underneath the battery. I found that inserting three toothpicks, one at a time, and then using them to pry up the battery works well.

[@tompereira1264]

Thanks! Your instructions were perfect! Okay, maybe you could have shown the screws being taken out, although obvious? Otherwise, spot on!

[@robertbastien5362]

Good instructions, although like many other viewers I found it almost impossible to remove the back. Thin plastic tools would just bend, so I used a large flat screwdriver to CAREFULLY pry open the SIM slot a little bit and then used a metal dental spatula to go all around the back. My old battery was very swollen so that might be the reason why the back was so tight.

[@pablom2274]

with the right tools it's easy, i didn't have any problem

[@bad001bd]

have they made the battery available yet?

[@KerriMcKenna]

Thank you, instructions worked perfectly!

[@ewerybody]

"Adhesive underneath battery is not so strong ..." aaaaggggggrrrrrr 💪😭

[@pauldelcour]

Thanks for this, most helpful.

[@EricWitrigs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mic_withMac]

My phone is way old now but still runs. Thx I can replace the battery and use it some more

[@vmartme]

Thanks you help me a lot :)

[@TrivisionZero]

Wow, after hearing that the N5X had a non-removable battery, I was kind of sad, but seeing this video and how easy it is to replace it versus the One (M8), I think I'll like this phone :D (like in the future in case the battery dies) It's getting here in two days!!

[@adamrivera195]

+TrivisionZero Or in case the battery doesn't work in the first place. That's what happened to me. I hope you have better luck!

[@TrivisionZero]

+Adam Rivera Ended up actually returning it :/

[@simonvoorspoels5819]

thanks, i got my battery perfect replaced

[@acpcardoso]

very well done video, thank you

[@EricWitrigs]

Glad you liked it!

[@jcoatl2]

What type of battery is that? What specs should I look for in order to have the right battery for the Nexus 5X?

[@aymanfaris6782]

Just look for a Nexus 5X battery. You should be able to find plenty on eBay.

[@KevinBourgeois]

Are this guy's finger nails made of steel? The case was so hard to pry open. Clearly this is a demo phone with no glue on the battery. At any rate successfully done no scratches. Thanks for the video

[@Karim_Belgique]

Be sure to charge ur phone + 2 hours after replacing the battery!

[@Mavericx6]

Thx for the video!

[@victorv4899]

An author forgot to mention that you need to unscrew 10 screws on a back before performing the step 2. You try to take out the parts before unscrewing them and then you yourself become “screwed”. This is not a very accurate instruction, I advise rather to check one posted by NewPower99.

[@BlizzJaster]

Check bottom of screen at 0:48, easy to miss though

[@president.z2566]

Holy crap it's impossible to get the back off

[@LuisMendez-up5te]

I used a typical box cutter to wedge the back cover off.

[@stealthfoxoo]

Awesome thanks!

[@adolfoluis14]

Is this safe? Where can i buy an nexus battery)=?

[@EricWitrigs]

+luis val Dear Luis, Yes, sorry to tell you that Nexus 5X battery is still not available now.anyway, we will keep you conform when it is available.

[@adolfoluis14]

Thanks for reply i really like this vid.:)!

[@williamn6133]

eBay usually have everything.

[@MdRaj-ze2og]

Thanks you

[@pablom2274]

thanks!! now i have a new phone XD

[@mariuszulkowski]

dziękuje pomogło :)

[@chalronbjork4766]

WARNING - step one takes about half an hour! Not easy to get the back off

[@AaroKeipi]

If you use a tiny flathead screwdriver near the USB charging port you should get it off in no time!

[@philz033]

come on....

[@MesaMXR]

I used a guitar pick. .6MM orange Dunlop Tortex you can get anywhere. Works like a charm and won't leave a mark.

[@weo1weo1weo1]

what? I just ripped mine off from the charging port with my teeth lol look 10 seconds

[@nessim.liamani]

How ridiculous and stupid are the ppl in charge of the conception of that phone, to not have just put a connector and made the battery direcly removable!!!!! It wouldnt take much space to do so and it's a non sens to see how the battery was integrated in a non removable way. I really don't think is was'nt made on purpose and I really don't like the way google is going, forcing ppl to NOT have an microSD slot and forcing ppl not having a removable battery. I woulnd never consider such a pricey piece of technology that is programmed to be obsolete (Not all ppl are willing to use a screwdriver for doing such a thing). Thanks for the video anyway.

[@adolfoluis14]

+Nessim instead buy an expensive new phone cuz de battery problems , i preffer repair it. If this phone last 2 years is fine for me , after that i ll sold this. ( sorry for my beta english)

[@manjy5927]

been using this phone for 3 years now. Battery sucks a lot. I wake at 7am and by 10 am its down to 0% everytime. Even with normal use it doesn't lasts. Should i go for battery replacement or replace the phone?

[@mscir]

You spent a l o n g time on the back cover, but z e r o time on the screws. plonk.

[@СерёгаБ-б9д]

Нихуя у тебя когти))) я еле крышку спец треугольником открыл

[@stiklius]

i broke two screwdrivers trying to unscrew this piece of shit

[@TommyUB]

Don't even take it apart, its not worth it.

[@croschko]

why

[@AaroKeipi]

I disagree. I did the whole swap in about 30 minutes. Piece of cake!

[@croschko]

Aaro Keipi is batery life better now?

[@AaroKeipi]

5777 I just changed it yesterday and haven't gone through a full cycle yet, but so far it seems to be about 20-30% better than the 2 year old battery. Not as big of an improvement as I was expecting

[@kathleenroten7219]

done it 15 min, no experience , straight from AliExpress, upgraded to a 3400MAH battery

[@ImFatStopRunning]

Not the safest idea. My battery literally bursted while trying to get it off.
