Was about to change my S10's battery because it's draining too fast already. After watching this, I'm like "My battery still works perfectly fine."

[@CameronDC-Grimes]

I'm not Samsung certified or by no means a phone expert but in my experience a battery that is near end of life usually doesn't hold a charge. Most certified refurbished companies will test the batteries to make sure they hold at least 80% charge before shipping. If it goes below that it's going to degrade rapidly. If it's holding a full charge you should have some life left

[@danielschofield6985]

😂 basically you need the equipment a bank robber needs and a " heat plate"

[@AckzaTV]

u can buy a battery case . ima use it till i decide to fi ally do this

[@CashIsKing_UseItOrLoseIt]

Yeah, I had a bit of a change of heart too. Not quite as bad as I thought the worst scenario could be, but still a bit of a risky pain in the rear. To me it looked kinda like you may not need to take that speaker/shroud part off at the bottom so if not, I'm hoping to skip that part. If I ever change it now, I think I'll try it myself as the battery was only around AUD$18 on Ebay & I recently got quoted AUD$350 At a vendor/repairer in a shopping mall. I'd had 3 deterioration messages(s10) & at least one on my s7, & multiple overheats some time before that on both phones. All after I started playing fishland & farmland on Temu. Those bl00dy stupid games are so processor inefficient they heat the phone up fast to crazy amounts especially when your phone is trying to do other stuff simultaneously. To anyone reading this: if you want to play those games on your s10 or s7, (& pobably the s8 & s9 too) practice these 5 things to preserve your battery: --- Always play with power saver on as it will limit your Cpu to 70% --- Don't have a miniplayer video going from any app while your playing --- don't be fast charging while playing. --- Have it out of it's case wherever practical while playing as heat can dissipate quicker that way. --- Try to not have the screen brightness over ⅔ to ¾.

just finished my battery change! I did not remove the bottom portion at 5:19 and all went just fine! Thanks!

[@kwaaaa]

Thanks for this, I was wondering why that was removed for as it appears not to be blocking the battery at all. Appreciate sharing your experience.

[@thesatelliteoverhead6776]

Yeah so half of these steps I won't be doing, my battery overheated and all the adhesives came off, all of it. The back cover comes off easily, the plastic camera part connected to the back cover, the black piece he unscrewed is loose enough to bend back.. pretty sure when I get my battery tomorrow it will only be take the battery out, as it's already falling out on own, reconnect flex cable to new battery and then lastly... see if the battery comes with an adhesive to glue everything... I will also perhaps test my phone and turn it on before i glue it all up. Super hope the battery has been the issue. It seems my s10 didn't like to have nearly 100% storage capacity used, and using everyday all day having all my apps, social media etc, open. I'd like to get a phone that can handle the amount of things I do on it... but im hoping my s10 will be able to with the new battery. It's hard to decide what I want to delete but I'll try and delete some stuff, well thats what I'm saying but I've said that a hundred times before so.... 128 gb just isn't enough for me (I forget how much of that comes free though, a percent is already being used by the software)

[@matteoturrina4317]

​@@thesatelliteoverhead6776 same goes for me, the back cover of my s10 comes out very easily with very low force.. did you find a battery that has already adhesive or not? If not how you glued it?

[@Rayer24]

@@xeneize285 Not really. People want all this bleeding edge technology in a thin package AND high water resistance. Tons of glue is the best way to protect all these sensitive components. For the battery itself some glue is necessary to hold it down but it shouldn't be hard to remove it. For the S10 I would say this is moderately difficult to replace. Some battery pull tabs would be nice. I think they did that for the new S23 series. I've seen iphones in the past that have batteries that are near impossible to replace even for professionals.

[@OrphanRusty]

Thanks for posting this. I have one more tip that makes everything go a lot easier and that is, before you start with the heat gun, try taping your phone to the table with two sided tape. {specifically Alien tape} when you are done remove it from the table with a twisting motion. this cut the back removal time significantly.

[@thesatelliteoverhead6776]

My phone overheated and all the adhesives have loosened themselves, when I get my battery tomorrow it will only be a matter of exchanging them, I don't even have to unscrew anything looks like because the back piece can bend back once the adhesive is melted... Seems pretty straightforward, would feel bad spending money to get this done, not to mention this might be really dumb but I'd like to try, if I can repair my own not only do I save money but I learn how to do something else...

[@EriahSylverstone]

See, I don't actually have a problem with the back cover being hard to take off because the battery popped it off for me already...when it swelled up due to being on my wireless charger all the time. Reason I had to use a wireless one was because Samsung made the charging port oversensitive to moisture, so even when there isn't even any there, it still gives me a notification that there is and won't let me use it. So I was forced to use a wireless one, and then, well, THIS happened. So it was either not use my phone at all because I can't charge it, or blow up the battery on a wireless charger. Hopefully when the new battery comes in from Amazon, it'll work and be easy to swap out. I bought two, just in case something like this happens again. But I'm not happy about having to do this in the first place, due to Samsung's incompetence with the charger.

[@businessimprovementgroupbi9567]

Thanks - our s10e is alive again. Great Video!

The only reason to glue the battery down is to make it harder to replace. Its already in a tight confined space

[@jayroo10]

i was thinking that. I rememebr when the battery used to be on the outside, and people would easily replace it. So Samsung immediately thought, lets make the battery even harder to replace now,. and they hide it right at the bottom too, under all that crap to put people off from replacing it. Greedy pricks

[@wintonsam496]

the end goal for the phone companies is to make u buy a new phone not replace anything hence why it is built like that.

Also, they don't want you to take the battery out so that Big Brother can track you 24/7

[@iDoctorUK]

This isn't true. Yes, it's in a fairly confined space but the space still allows movement. This movement, constantly shaking around and slightly impacting the sidewalls of it's enclosure will cause the battery to swell.

Charge uninterrupted to 100% and charge for around 30 minutes to an hour extra 2. Run down to near 0% battery with normal use 3. Charge back to 100% uninterrupted and leave for an hour extra charging This just allows the software on your phone the calibrate to the new battery and monitor how much power it has left accurately :)

Here's a tip, if you don't have a hot plate or a heat gun: just boil some water in a small pot, put a ceramic plate on the pot and leave it boiling. It will heat up to almost 100 degrees C, so you can put the phone on the plate for a couple of minutes and have the adhesive soften. Works like a charm!

These days Samsung have taken note of planned obsolesence so much so that they now completely solidly glue the battery of the S10 in the phone in hopes that you don't try change batteries a year or two later (when they inevitably degrade because of battery chemistry) and instead you're forced to pay them for repairs (like the way you're forced to with apple cause they seal everything in) or even better for them, pay an exorbinant amount for their new flagship next year.

[@kiwicam6419]

@@jegm6300 I think I'll just continue on as long as I can with my S10. It's ok for now. Maybe a factory reset would help clear things out a bit.

Same here. 3 yes old and still love it. Repair is noble

right?! i hate it!!

This is what i hate about the new generation phones.

[@ellenfarrell2785]

Totally absurd to me. I had no idea until after I purchased the phone. I don't know if I can do this.

I was thinking this. Looked like there was no need to remove it to get the battery

[@humayuntariq3530]

I think you should have replaced the back glass adhesive.

[@stevengm]

Wow. They really don't want you to get in there.

[@gooseknack]

No, they don't! Part of it is also the water proof or water resistance rating. It has to be well sealed. It makes it difficult to get into them.

[@JG-oc8ov]

Do they sell the adhesive? i dont trust reusing that for water resistance.

[@MansoorAli-du9ld]

There's a company called Asesino that sells a whole new backing with fresh adhesive on it

Thanks for the video, this is my first phone with a "non user replaceable battery". I was worried about having to do this someday seeing as how I usually keep my phones 3-5 years but your video put my mind at ease that it's not super complicated

@@PaperBagMan884 Go ahaid and remove a power button of the galaxy s10e where you have to remove the whole front screen, all the inside just to be able to put in a freakin button that actually is very cheap (3$). But the risk for breaking the screen is too high, so youre kinda forced to pay 65 bucks at an phone repair shop

ur gona break the phone lol ur gona be so mad whej u realize u cant do this and habe ro pay someone 50 bucks

[@thesatelliteoverhead6776]

I actually wondered how phone repair shops get much business... obviously if they keep trying to make things as complicated as possible we will be going to pay the repair shops to do it but as long as it seems possible, I feel like only people that don't have a clue about technology and don't want to know will go there or people who don't like doing things themselves. If I break my phone doing this though... maybe I will start taking things to the shops

[@roburgosg]

It works. Just be extra careful when reassembling the phone. Make sure parts fit right and screws roll smoothly and all the way.

[@bramijzerman242]

So how do you glue it back on? With the old remnants that are still on there or a new specific glue?
