Great video, thanks! This went incredibly smooth. I heated the heck out of the back cover with a hair dryer and it came off way easier than it did in the video, basically pulled it off lol. Hardest part for me was lining that black cover back on before you put the screws back in...take your time and make sure it's perfectly lined up. I heated the back of phone and back cover before putting rear cover back on and it looks like I never opened it. Smooth as butter baby! Keeping my phone alive instead of buying a new one.

Where did you get the battery? How many Screen on time are you getting after replacement?

[@towerh6680]

@@samiradzovic894 I got the battery on ebay for $10 but not sure if the battery was new...screen time improved but not a lot

@@samiradzovic894 7 months late reply but just incase, if you're looking for s10e battery replacement ifixit have them in stock. Even though they cost a lot i'd reccomend ifixit because they're very reputable so unlike other places can almost guarantee it's a new battery that is good quality. [store that made this video probably fine as well but idk much about them]

[@heybinsu]

Just changed my battery without any problem. My phone still runs well (except the battery life) and I don't want to get a new one just yet. Thank you for your guide! It's clear and to the point, you just got a new subscriber :)

[@YizusCrist]

Did you noticed a difference in battery? and where did you buy the battery?

[@heybinsu]

@@YizusCrist I bought it online, the size is a bit thinner than the original so I guess it's an OEM. As expected the battery life is much longer which is nice, hope it's as durable as the original.

[@xyz9845]

Hi. Was the battery exactly 3100 mAh? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for such a detailed manual! Is there a need to reset some power cycle counter after the replacement? I'm still observing the "bad" status in the Android self-diagnostic application.

Thank you very much for this detailed tutorial. I was wondering is there any higher capacity battery compatible for the S10e to replace the original Samsung one, using this tutorial ?

[@mikeoxmaul1373]

Have u ever got your answer

[@therealmerf]

​@@mikeoxmaul1373 Hello, no I ended up buying the thin battery called "Auskang Slim Portable Charger 5000mAh External Battery Pack Power Bank Charger" on amz and I carry it around :-(. Then I use "blu-tack" to hold in on the phone in my pocket to recharge it lol. Ironic for space consuming I know... If you have a better option to propose I'll take it.

[@tehserenity]

in best case you will buy a battery with the same parameters as factory one. in most cases oem batteries worse then original

[@dubmob151]

@@tehserenity I went the cheap route and bought an OEM battery replacement, which had a manufacture date 1 month earlier than the one I removed. I'll see if the $10.95 battery is any better, after running it through a full charge cycle-

[@dubmob151]

From the results from the Accubattery testing, the capacity from the replacement Samsung OEM battery went from 71% to 86 percent. The replacement I got actually has a manufacturer date that's a month older than the one I took out, but with less cycles on it. 2019, a 4 year old battery- For the $11 cost it's a good enough improvement. It's equivalent to a 1-1/2 year battery out of the 3-1/2 lifespan I got from the original one, so it should be good for another two years. $6.50 a year battery cost-

[@antramo7726]

Excellent instructional video and worked flawlessly!

[@Hoskin55]

Thanks, great and simple tutorial.

[@seiji-kun9488]

My phone is more than 2 years old and due to constant heating I guess, the glues went loose on it's own. Now I can remove the back panel just by any pry tool or even my nails. Best time to replace the battery!

[@dubmob151]

I was able to just pick up the back cover with my fingernails also, and slowly worked it off without any tools. The battery was the most time consuming part, because there isn't much access to get lifting forces. The iSesame tool worked well from the bottom of the battery, and it eventually started lifting up.

[@kerimca98]

Well I didn't have to pull the cover off since the expanded battery already did that 😬

But where to buy a new functional battery from? I can only find other batteries where it is not clear if they work as described.. anyone knows which of the batteries fit best when there is no new samsung original anymore? Btw the link in the description is dead

[@PaydayGabeBCNV]

🤣 just what the Dr. ordered 👍. My battery, #2 ( Chinese) is about 1yr old and swollen and dying. Its making me freakin NUTS😵‍💫! The phone actually works great except for the sporadic voltage ⚡️ fluctuating. Fingers crossed I can get another year or more from the replacement (Chinese) battery 🤷‍♂️ Cheers 🍻, G.

[@extreme_computerssrl6669]

To remove the back cover I used an hoteplate at 80 degrees Celsius for 4 minutes and the back cover comes out easily. I think 4 minutes was too much. I suggested 3 minutes. To remove the battery I use hoteplate at 80 degrees Celsius for 1 minutes (three times). Last time I used a drop of isopropyl alcohol. It's not complicated but it's not very easy. The battery is well glued, you have to use heat to loosen the adhesive.

[@moosakda4890]

I succeed the process from this VDO Thank you.

[@derbi4stunt]

Thank you for this tutorial, seems pretty hard though, I might just go to a Samsung Repair store :/

[@iDocEN]

Hi Derbi4Stunt, thanks for your feedback! If you take your time and focus on the repair, it should be doable, also for starters. We will provide a video, how to prepare for a repair, soon :) Best, Sabine

[@MiguelRPD]

It's not hard. You just need to take your time.

[@Og-Judy]

Not had for me. Swollen overheat battery took back glass off for me. Have been using packaging tape for awhile to hold it together until I got a replacement battery and a new back glass (Swollen battery caused cracks in it) Sigh..... technology. I'm on a fixed income retirement. I can't keep dropping a grand on a new phone every two years.

[@arbigoeztaman0223]

Where did you get the special glue?

[@DCFTW68]

Soon someone can provide you some of that "special glue" bro 😂😂

[@Winastwan]

Why the waterproofing will not work anymore even after replacing the glue with the original adhesive?

[@iDocEN]

Hi Galih, there are 2 main reasons for this: On the one hand, Water protection is not made for eternity. Small cracks in the adhesive frame can occur due to falls, but also due to daily use. Therefore, you always have to ask yourself whether the phone was even waterproof before the repair. On the other hand, the adhesive frame is applied by certain pressure under certain heat. You cannot be sure if you can reproduce this 1:1 during a repair. Best Sabine

[@AndyMitchellUK26]

It probably will be but they must state this to cover themselves should your phone later die of water damage. There is no guarantee that the adhesive will be applied to the same specifications and pressures as was done in the factory.

[@dubmob151]

​There's an app to check water resistance that uses the internal barometric sensor to measure the pressure increase when you press on the phone face. That's a reasonable way to see if you restored the seal okay.

[@AleSuggests]

Thank you for making this so easy Samsung... may your company have a prosperous bankrupt soon!

[@iDocEN]

Hi Ale Suggests, to be honest, Samsung isn't the "meanest producer" when it comes to smartphone repairs^^ But I can understand your upset. From experience we also know that every repair is doable, even for starters. Take your time and focus on the process, we try to help with this detailed instructions. All the best Sabine

[@Noksus]

Probably worth it to check if you can power on the phone before you glue the back cover back on again

[@stevewall7044]

This does not have a single upvote, guess people prefer to play the no testing roulette and opening a second time.

[@dubmob151]

I did on mine, but because I just reused the old adhesive for both the battery and cover, it'll be an easy process to do it again if needed. The water resistance app available on Android showed the phone doesn't have a seal any more, as expected, while it showed a pass beforehand.

[@ВасяПупкин-ы9ч2у]

Спасибо. Сначала, как водится, сломал крышку, а потом зашол посмотреть как надо было делать)

[@diegotosi5]

Hello, I made the decision to change the battery with an expert of course, I don't know if I was ready for the change but I made that decision, when I disconnected it with the battery at 100% it said 14 hours remaining, I suppose that time is estimated up to the 1% or when it is about to turn off, the battery it has is the original one, and if the equipment is from 2019 and we are in 2023, it surely deserves a change for a new one, my question is, how do I know if they are not scamming me? put the supposed new battery, maybe it's my distrust and nothing else... thank you very much...

[@PK-mx7nf]

Modern phones suck. My 3210 you just clicked the cover off and you could replace the battery. And yes I realise why it's so hard; so they can make money selling you a new phone instead.

[@iDocEN]

Hi P K, I think the evolution of smartphones is a combination of many drivers, like making money but also the customer's demands like water resistency. Have you heard of Fairphone or Shiftphone? They make sustainable phones where you can easily replace the battery and other components. They are trying to bring easy repairability back to the market. Best Sabine

[@derbi4stunt]

Galaxy S5 from 2014 also had that fast battery replacement like old Nokias. I wish they kept that feature.

[@Matanumi]

@@derbi4stunt that was truly the best S phone for that reason

[@PK-mx7nf]

@@derbi4stunt YEa that was a great phone actually. I don't really need the water-resistance that much. I'd rather have easy battery replacement.

[@derbi4stunt]

@@PK-mx7nf The S5 still had the IP67 dust/water resistant even with the back being able to be unclipped, it's crazy.

[@kubix0n1]

Quick question - if the back glass is cracked will it break totally while removing it (I'm gonna take the phone to a proffesional service I just wanna know if they gonna charge me for backglass change too)

[@dubmob151]

you can buy a replacement back cover; might be worth getting it if everything works okay after the replacement battery is installed.

[@giulioonorato7758]

After this the phone would not be ip68 cert anymore, right?

[@tVideoUTube]

Yes a pain that it is not replaceable like the old ones, but people want thin, light, waterproof. Pick 2.

[@dubmob151]

I'd normally pick user replaceable over all three of the others, but glad for the waterproof, from the time it fell out of my pocket straight into the toilet. Luckily freshly flushed 😅. It survived thanks to that waterproofness. I'm figuring on sacrificing some of that waterproofness for now, having just reused the old adhesive for the replacement. I might consider applying a bead of sealant or PDR hot glue on the outside edge perimeter. Appearance doesn't matter since I use a case with it anyway.

[@makphisto]

Hola! Llevo casi 2 años con ese celular y esta super genial en rendimiento y tamaño, he visto baterías de 4500mAh en el mercado alguien ha hecho ese cambio? me llama la atención que el s22 tiene 3900 mAh y el s10e tiene 3100

[@sergsergesrgergseg]

Is it easy to break, worth risking?

[@iDocEN]

Hi name01, if it's worth risking, you have to decide for yourself. The backcover is made of glass and is hardly glued, so it could break during the opening process. Once you've opened the smartphone, there should be no barriers. Best Sabine

[@dubmob151]

Heartily glued maybe- if it was hardly glued on it should come off easily-

[@rolandow2]

At what temperature was the heat gun set?

[@iDocEN]

Hi Rolandow, as a rule, it should be 60-80°. Best regards Marc from iDoc

[@LC-iv8lf]

You must mean Celsius, right? That's not hot in Fahrenheit

[@obnoxiousweese]

Would you say it's probably still splash resistant? I take my phone into the shower 😅😅😅

[@iDocEN]

Hi Daniel, a phone isn't 100% waterproof after repair (also not necessarily before repair 😅) There are some features that provide water protection, including a correctly placed adhesive frame and small pads on openings. During daily use, small cracks can appear, which reduce the protection. Even after the repair, no one can guarantee that you have attached the adhesive frame 100% correctly again. If you are interested you can watch a video on this topic on our German channel :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaolnhrmquDm5o Best Sabine

It's always easier to buy new, if there's not much work involved with getting the money to do that. Just depends on the work you do if it's a matter of working for a few extra minutes, hours, or days to buy new rather than spend your time, risk, and effort picking and prying at things.
