A cool tip for checking your waterproof feature without putting your phone in water would be by going to the keypad and inputting *#0*# Click on the sensor button and look for the section under barometer. If you apply some pressure to your phone and it is properly sealed, the barometer number should go up.

[@florinalinbeudean]

so if from 978.68 goes up ti 978.90 should be all good?

[@fahadabdullah7566]

How do i start

Helpful video. I'll be changing mine when the part comes in. I also have a Galaxy Tab 4. I know, I know, it's a dinosaur. But mine is rooted and I have like 6 custom ROMs I switch between so I've been loathe to let go of it. It was the first device I rooted and installed TWRP on so it has sentimental value. The damn charging port has finally gone completely out on me though. I know this repair requires some soldering. It'd be nice if I could watch you do the repair before I attempted it

[@deadpoollane4229]

Thanks... worked well for me. but i was lucky to have the lens cover on the new rear cover and switched over the touch senser thingy very easily. but once again THANKS :)

Never understood why the back is made from glass. Why? Should be a tough plastic since most use a case anyway. Mine shattered even when a case on it.

You know what? I'll just put silicone under there. It might not be able to stay 2 metres underwater, but one thing it'll do for sure. Stay sealed when using it in rain or with wet hands

[@kiaya611]

Absolutely beautiful job!!!! Perfect instructions. I absolutely know it is VERY hard to see things like re-connecting the fingerprint sensor, but for those that might have trouble, if you can find a way to show the insides while you are connected it, that would help. I work with electronics, so for me, it was PERFECT!!!! I am just thinking of others that it would help!!! Keep it up! These phones are SO expensive anymore and are going to the "Gorilla Glass" for the backs, IMO is absolutely stupid! They could completely make the bakc out of Titanium or similar and put the exact same finish using paint and save people a great deal of possible problems. Best wishes, Steven

[@brittneyberrer6583]

That was very helpful, thank you

[@scottdodd7354]

Great video... I have a S8 with both front and back glass replacements, so the info was very helpful. I also do 3D printing and have a heated bed, sooooooooo guess what I used for heat to soften the adhesive???? That's right, set the bed to 85° C and waited about 5-10 minutes..... perfect..........Thanks............

Is it sill water proof

what type of adhesives would you recommend to return it to its water resistance? thank you... if anything ill send it to Samsung... they'll do it for 65 bucks, I love this phone enough !

[@iPhoneRestoration]

If you want to guarantee water proof send it to Samsung. You can make it water proof but I still don’t recommend putting it in water after.

Your phone still seems to work even with the back broken My phone's back is broken, and the phone doesn't work anymore and just flashes white Not sure if that's because of the broken back tho So would changing the broken back help the phone to work again or is it a lost cause?

Hi I'm going to replace my front glass on my s8+ I just want to know if I can just use the OCA sheet instead of the uv glue? Can you tell me please

[@henrimalan530]

I don't think you can. If I'm correct the oca sheet would cause air bubbles below the screen because it's more solid and sticky than the uv glue.

[@iPhoneRestoration]

The other videos pre open and take the phone apart so its easy to do. This was taken apart on camera like it really would.

[@SS-Tommy]

You can still make it waterproof if you use the right glue. Obviously the new glass out of the box won't be waterproof.

Is the S8 Waterproof after replacing the Back Glass? Please answer me.

Vladica once you crack the phone it isn’t waterproof. After the repair you can possibly make it water proof but I still don’t recommend to use the device in water again.

Why is the back made of glass???

The easy way ? Stick on the NEW back on top of the broken glass Back ? Thicker phone but less dangerous to the novice ?

[@magdalenamoreno1744]

If the phone falls again would the back glass replacement open up or the tape makes sure its perfectly sealed

[@iPhoneRestoration]

Magdalena Moreno the tape more or less return it to factory but it still would not be waterproof. So it will survive a fall and stay on.

Has anyone started a class action suit over this high dollar piece of junk? Mine broke first time falling from top of night stand into the open drawer below (maybe 1 foot.)

Not to mention that it is no longer water proof after repair. This is BS, these phone cost way too much money for such piss poor quality.

If you buy one of these phones you should spend and extra 100 on everything to keep it safe. IE Nice PROTECTIVE Case., Screen cover and or Liquid glass screen protector. I have dont the liquid glass and case and have had my phone for 14 months and nothing has broken after numerous drops.

Never had any issues with mine. Had it since day one and just cracked it yesterday after falling hard on some tile. That's 2 years of use without a problem. You just need to treat your expensive stuff like it's expensive.

Dunno how you keep breaking yours but mine has been dropped countless times. I've dropped it many times on nights out onto concrete from hand height so like 4ft maybe? There are scratches and scuff around the edges but front and back glass are still fine

[@michaelvalentine5019]

What a stupid product. Why is the back plate made of such a fragile material and glued on?????? It just makes it slippery and more likely to be dropped. Just make it out of sturdy flexible plastic. I bought one and it cracked after gently handling it the first day. It's been 4 days and the entire back is destroyed. What a piece of shit.

What’s kind of crazy is that cheaper Samsung phones have a plastic back cover.
