Thank you. Changed my S9 battery thanks to this video! Anyone else who is struggling the hardest part is just getting the case off, keep your hairdryer on it for a good few minutes.
I seriously miss my galaxy s5 but too old fashioned to risk using in todays time. The Nokia Lumia 1020 which I loved and everyone raved about with all Microsoft phones can still be sold to you second hand but deliberately Microsoft made the older Nokias useless by seeing only about 20 percent of your Facebook or internet or typing page. Made mistake of getting one second hand to replace the old one I had with smashed screen but 41mp camera was like the best ever made amazing phones once sold expensive but they upgrade you to useless software to force you to buy a new phone
Even if u shut off and or power off your phone its still transmitting??? Do they want us to NOT be able to shut phone off and not be able to remove battery so they can gather data while I sleep to sell and send me ads🤔🤔🤔
I like how they say they started doing this no removable battery to help save space so they can make phones thinner for customers and that they could design batteries in different shapes to help with making them thinner. lol looks like a regular rectangle battery to me. they just want you to buy more phone's instead of replacing batteries. I hate corporate greed.
John s - Bingo! Thatb really chaps me. I was about to buy a Galaxy 9 but hit the breaks when I heard the battery is not removable. I am waiting to see if they get it consumers want a removable battery. Maybe Samsung Galaxy 10, 11, or 12? I don't worry much about the water proof part.
It's done so your phone is garbage faster. I had my s5 for 3 years and 5 batteries for it. 3 crapped out but the phone worked fine still. NOW with the new phones, as soon as the battery is done, so is your.phone
Xyrik That's a joke statement. I have the older Galaxy Note 4 since it first came out, been through pouring rain and snow and still works like brand new. All I had to do was change the battery one time.
Really glad that I saw this video first, before cracking open my phone. No way I feel comfortable attempting this. I hate how complicated they made this battery replacement. Props to anyone that has the skill to do this. I sure don't.
I just did my battery, and happy to say its all working. Had a scare with the fingerprint reader module, but after rebooting phone this now works and the phone is like new now! :)
It's a very informative video. I've had an S9 for almost 4 years, and it works fine. Battery is still very strong, but I'll save video just in case. It's ridiculous phone manufacturers make things so hard. The obviously want you to get a new one every couple years. Case in point, a little over a week ago I went to store I where I bought phone, and asked about a moisture warning(likely from rain) in my charging receptacle.The warning had cleared by time store opened, but I talked with him anyway. He was very informative, but of course, he tried to sell me on a promotion of a "free" replacement phone of equal value($800 value) in exchange for old phone. Yes, "free" after about paying around $80 in tax and paying an activation fee. The old phone is charging fine, and I bought a wireless charger just in case of future problems. I'll save video, but I hope I won't have to change battery. I just learned current phones are tightly sealed to make them "waterproof." I'd rather be able to change battery quickly than have a "waterproof" phone. My "waterproof" phone got a moisture warning which I mentioned earlier
I had no idea how complicated changing the battery in my mobile was going to be. Thank goodness I found this tutorial on TH-cam. Thanks to the excellent instructions given I was able to perform this extremely difficult task without too much effort. Thank you so much for all your help.
THANK YOU very much for producing this video! IT made it possible for me to change my battery. And I did crack the back cover of my phone, but it still works and I used an Otto Box protector so the cracks are not even visible. You do have to heat the phone up A LOT, much more than I thought was OK, in order to get the adhesive soft enough. The phone had to be too hot to touch in order for the glue to melt. That's why you see the guy in the video wearing a cloth glove on one hand. He knows how hot it is. :-)
Had my S9 for 6 years--same for my wife. Batteries finally started giving up the ghost a few weeks ago. Glad we found your video and bought our replacement battery kits. $19 each compared to $720 over 2 years for A15s sure makes the wallet happy.
Good video, was able to replace my battery using my hairdryer. Tip though: Make sure you sufficiently melt the glue as you go round because if you use your plectrum thing to work your way round too quickly without properly melting the adhesive you will crack the back of your phone... yes I speak from experience.
Good tutorial, thanks! Instead of using a heat gun, put almost boiling water into a ziplock and just put the phone on it for a while. It can't get too hot then. Also, at the end put the phone back on the hot bag to make the glue more sticky and get a better seal.
I did it! With your help! I got a CPB mini pad and axGear metal spudge along with the guitar picks and small philips kit. Only thing I want to suggest is if you're going to replace the back cover then plug the finger print scanner flex cable 5:40 in first when re-installing then put the back on to it, way easier to plug it in.
Youngblood you rock ! If an old geezer can change the the battery per instructions anyone can ! great instructions Thanks so much , yeah , I am still using the S9.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I watched this video three or four times, and then had it on (paused in between parts) while I replaced the power cell in my own S9. Thank you so much for this, I don't think I couldn't have done it without actual instructions.
This is utterly ridiculous! Why can't they make it like normal phones where you just snap off the back cover, take out the old battery and pop in the new one? I've got 4 spare batteries and it takes me 30 seconds to swap my phone's battery. I'll NEVER buy a phone like this that makes it so difficult to change out your battery! Lithium-ion batteries degrade and should be replaced each year. This phone just isn't practical.
They Can. They won't because they need the battery to degrade so that you will be forced to buy a new phone in about 18 months. They pitch waterproofing as the reason for sealed batteries but it is really all about $$$. Planned obsolescence.
tanzanable basically almost all modern phones which are waterproof have this issue now. Smartphone batteries are horrible after 2 years of heavy use. Some people say to not charge more than 50% to keep the battery healthy which is ridiculous. No one is gonna constantly looking at a phones charging state.
Ibrahim Alzandani - I'd gladly give up the waterproof feature! I don't care about waterproof because I'm careful and never take my device anywhere near water. Drop the waterproof and give us back our replaceable batteries!!
Thank you for the very informative video. The greedy phone makers are doing their level best to get people to ditch their perfectly good phones and buy new ones just because a battery needs replacement. Like throwing away your remote control because the battery is gone. I'm glad that the EU is passing regulations that require phone makers to have replaceable batteries.
open a cellphone is easy, open it without damaging is the real trick, and this video help me a lot to repair my cellphone at home, and it works wonderful now!! thank you for so detailed explanation video!!!
I MUST ADMIT S9+ WAS THE BEST PHONE EVER. BUT SEEING THIS BATTERY REPLACEMENT WAS EXCRUCIATING. I'D RATHER KEEP MY PHONE WITH THE OLD BATTERY AND HAVE MY POWER BANK ON A STAND BY
I use to think this was complicated like everyone else. Once you do it, its actually really really simple. the hard part is getting the back glass off without breaking it.
just lazy as heck that they can't put it together with screws and a good rubber gasket. For ~800 bucks you get a glued together piece of planned obsolescence.
Thank you for the detailed video. I was considering taking this on, but not anymore. A back cover this hard to remove? I'll deal with slightly degraded battery life thanks. Props to you man and that skillset.
Thanks for this helpful Video. I was able to do it with my S9 and I didn't even have to remove the speaker as shown in your video. I could do it all without needing to do that step. Thanks again.
I think you're correct about two things. First, this gentleman posted a helpful video and I also thank him and second, the bottom piece with the speaker (and the screws holding that section) didn't need to be removed to replace the battery. I've replaced the battery on three different S9s and haven't ever needed to remove the bottom piece or the screws that hold that section Whenever I've replaced a battery on a Galaxy S9, I've only removed the top portion. I'm not sure what the reasoning would be to remove the bottom piece. I've replaced the battery on three S9s and haven't ever removed that bottom piece. This tech obviously knows what he's doing so there must be a reason he recommends it...but as I amateur techie, I'm clueless! My curiosity was piqued though so I searched for additional tutorials on TH-cam, but I couldn't find any additional information so perhaps it's a personal preference. Another thing I'm curious about...he said to remove 15 screws and either there are only 14 screws, or I'm missing a screw (or I have a screw loose - which is a definite possibility in my case!!).
Problem is.. even if I totally wipe my S5 it's slow again within a week..Samsung have definitely fucked with the O.S. to make SURE you have to upgrade..hence my shitty S9 ..
THANK YOU for posting such a useful, and do-it-yourselfer-friendly video ! This is among the best videos, because the communication is on spot.

@@MrTubeniko - Thank you, Niko ... I never RE-OPENED the phone, so while I was still using it, that feauture no-longer worked. I appreciate your imput; unfortunately, it's a few months too late.
@@dirtyweapons3459 This has nothing to do with work ethic, it's just a fair assessment of the situation. If every time you have to go to bathroom, you will have to open up 4 combination lock, solve 5 puzzle, and then do 6 stunt jump and hold your breath for 2 minutes and swim across a under water tunnel, I would say it is complicated. But if you do that to steal an art work worth 50 million dollars, I will say it's a walk in a park. Got it?
Thank you for this video. (The only thing I thought you were going to do at the end was run the heat gun over the phone once after you put the back plate on again).
I just got done doing this. It's actually really easy!!! If you don't mind the back of your phone looking like a brick was thrown through a car windshield.
This video was great thank you very much it helped me change my S9 phone just now. One suggestion though at 3:58 not need to remove laud speakers to remove the battery as the battery seems to come off with load speakers on so one step less.
I'm glad I saw this first. I was considering buying this phone. Didn't know the S9 was designed not to accommodate battery replacement by the consumer, because of the waterproof feature. Got to pass on this phone, as I like the convenience of snapping the back off a phone to swap batteries and micro SD cards in and out without a production hack like this. Thanks for posting this video.
One thing very very important is to heat ALOT the back cover. I broke it because it didn't heat enough. You need to have difficulties holding the phone in your hands because it is hot, then you know it's hot enough. And be very gentle.
Great vid, apart from my S9 does not have its fingerprint cable attached to the back case. Also the logic board cover would not come out until i removed the camera lens cover which exposed another hidden screw that needed to be removed before the logic cover could be removed. I'm not sure why mine is a bit different as it is a Samsung S9 not a + but maybe because it from the UK. Thought I would post this as it might help someone out if they have the same problem. :)
Coming here to report on my experience. (This is not my first time doing teardowns. Ive done older iphones, laptops, plenty of androids, so this was frustrating). Step 1: Removing the back cover: Almost the entire part of my back cover was glued. I had no pry tool that reaches far into the phone that could bend the way its expected. They seem to have made the back cover impossible to remove without breaking it (yes i broke it cause I cant pry the glue further. I suggest cutting up a gift card or credit card thin so you can reach far while it bends with the curve. (bought a replacement back cover in amazon) More heat may help, but honestly id rather risk a broken back cover than a forever heat stained touch screen. I only had a hair dryer so its easy to overdo it. My fingerprint sensor came off from the back cover (probably due to the amount of heat i used). Made it easier to remove back cover though. Which will make replacement back cover easier too. Second layer of cover was easy. I didn't have to remove the bottom portion. Battery, I did heat it up and eventually used a cake stripping knife to avoid bending it (just stuck it on the top left, all the way down. All adhesive came off with it. great cause my replacement battery provided a pullable adhesive (that i had to resize) Replacing second layer of cover was slightly tricky, had to make sure its at the bottom of the gooey sticky layer at the edges. Put back the broken glass cover (for now), with packaging tape holding all the broken glass. So far everything works (including fingerprint sensor). we'll see how good/bad the battery i bought is over time.
You saved me a lot of trouble...I am decent at fixing stuff...but I also know what I don't know...and I know there is a good chance to mess this up...was going to get a used S9 and a used S10...but now I will just buy yesterdays old new phones...I'm not getting a used one now...I will spend a few extra bucks and get a brand new old model...think about it folks...if you aren't good at gadgets...and you buy used old brands...you then have to take it to an expert and you pay for it anyway...planned obsolesce...harumphh
🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺 My charger has been given me grief for ages, now it barely works. I have to do all sorts of things to get that "lightning" sign to show, and then once the phone is laid down it stops charging. What do you suggest? I have manouvered the charger loads of time, each time I'm gentle so as not to damage it.
I think if you reheat the phone again when you putback the cover , that will make soft again the glue, and when you give presure to the panel will stick again to the glue.
Wouldve been nice to know that underneath the battery where you have to pry is some delicate copper foil that is part of the screen... guess that's what i get for clicking the 7 minute vid. Not blaming you ofc but I barely touched it, and now there is a white line on my screen. wish your video mentioned it
I don't charge my phone with a cable. I have about 15 batteries that I charge with a wall charger and change them in 2 seconds with my galaxy s5 active. This is why I wont buy one of these phones with the batteries not removable.
I feel similarly, but you may not have a choice much longer, sadly. Hence why I'm watching this video, in case it comes to the point where it must be replaced. Either that, or pay someone to do it if it's economically feasible.
I agree with you, but I sadly had to succumb to buying a new one as my S5 was no longer usable. In time all things give out. I was happy with my s5, my car from the 80s and many other things that have me set in my ways..... but you can only fight the inevitable for so long. RIP S5, I will miss your battery options....
Any recommendations for what to do when the glue won't release? No amount of heating [Used a gun and hot plate] has helped. Can't get any separation gap using suction cup, no chance of getting a pic in at all. ☹
due to the large otterbox case i use, i cant/dont use the fingerprint scanner, and i also dont use wireless charging so thats two less things to worry about! (aka if i break them i dont mind as long as it doesnt mess with the rest of the phone, which i don't think should happen) 😄
Well this looks the easiest of phones I've owned to replace that battery. Some you have to go through the whole damn thing like you were replacing the screen.
Hi SergTech, can I ask you something, I've S9 64gb model S960U1 and batery 3000mAh, my batery is does not working, I can buy any batery S9 or threre's specify a batery for this kind model s960u1. thanks
Hello from the Philippines. I only had the chance now, 2022, to own an S9. Is it possible to fit in an S9+ battery in a regular S9? The battery performance of the S9 is not so good. Thank you so much - Cris.
Very good tutorial - thorough, but not too much info or awful music -- you mention possible snags, cautions and solutions. One minor suggestion -- maybe carefully test operating of the phone and speaker before reinstalling the back cover? Provided the new battery has sufficient charge of course.
@@furkansahin5061 You're not making any sense. All phone batteries die at some point and it's cheap to replace the battery. It doesn't matter if your phone battery is 1000mAh or 50,000mAh. It will die and will need to be replaced. You're an idiot.
Yo, you forgot something. At 2:50 you see a loose cable on the back: that's not loose when you first open up the back. It's still connected to the phone, you need to loosen that cable before opening up the back as you otherwise WILL destroy the fingerprint scanning module. EDIT: 3:05 LOL, NOW you're telling. xD
It's still waterproof you can still get water splashed on it.... You just cant play with it as a submarine battleship like my 4year old nephew does when I leave it where he can get to it....
No, minus the waterproof feature, Galaxy S7 had a removable battery too. I just recently bought the S9. Now after watching this demonstration I feel fooled🤬
Fortunately mine is a work phone and they are talking about just exchanging it for newer one! This is completely nuts! This is how these companies make their money because they make it so that you have to compromise the case in order to change the battery! You heard the guys say that once you do this you the waterproof is voided!There is actually no way I would ever go through this!
If u need an alternative for a hot plate, just take an old IPad and play an 8k video on it at max brightness, will heat up plenty to use to heat up your S9's adhesive. 😄

@@dirtyweapons3459 This has nothing to do with work ethic, it's just a fair assessment of the situation. If every time you have to go to bathroom, you will have to open up 4 combination lock, solve 5 puzzle, and then do 6 stunt jump and hold your breath for 2 minutes and swim across a under water tunnel, I would say it is complicated. But if you do that to steal an art work worth 50 million dollars, I will say it's a walk in a park. Got it?
This is very easy to do. It just takes a little bit of common sense, which is difficult to find these days no matter where you look.
@@joef7652 Just opened mine to replace the battery but can't get the battery out
Thank you for this video. (The only thing I thought you were going to do at the end was run the heat gun over the phone once after you put the back plate on again).
Mee too I watched until the end just to see that 😳
You should to allow the glue to soften and gel back together nicely.
I just got done doing this.
It's actually really easy!!!
If you don't mind the back of your phone looking like a brick was thrown through a car windshield.
This video was great thank you very much it helped me change my S9 phone just now. One suggestion though at 3:58 not need to remove laud speakers to remove the battery as the battery seems to come off with load speakers on so one step less.
Good video, thank you for the demonstration. I shall save it for the inevitable failure of my battery in two to four years. XD
To make my phone hot I just played ark survival evolved
Thanks, the process went flawlessly for me.
I'm glad I saw this first. I was considering buying this phone. Didn't know the S9 was designed not to accommodate battery replacement by the consumer, because of the waterproof feature. Got to pass on this phone, as I like the convenience of snapping the back off a phone to swap batteries and micro SD cards in and out without a production hack like this. Thanks for posting this video.
so what did you buy ?
I bought an unlocked, brand new, (AT&T, GSM) LG V10 off eBay.
All the new ones are like this. They want the phone to die in a year and a half so you'll have to buy a new one
You are awesome. Very nice tutorial and great camera work. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This was a really good tutorial! Thank you!
One thing very very important is to heat ALOT the back cover. I broke it because it didn't heat enough. You need to have difficulties holding the phone in your hands because it is hot, then you know it's hot enough. And be very gentle.
Looks a lot easier than the iphone 6s. I did that and it had so many connections! The S9 has like 3 and 15 screws.
Thanks for this vid! Very good instructions that allowed me to save a phone.
May you share what temperature did you expose the LCD when you remove the Battery? I have a hot plate like yours.
Lyrics on point! Great job bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the video. Is there not need to replace any glue after this? Will the back plate not be looser?
Is this the Hadron Collider or a cell phone?
Liked video because of the guitar picks :P
Easier than the S8 battery replacement video I just viewed, less to disconnect/reconnect.
Such an intelligent gentleman 👍thanks
adding a battery case instead. I changed my last phone's battery but this just seems a touch more finicky - thanks for tutorial.
Very nice video sir! Technology is where the money is at for sure.👍
Looks like I'll be passing on an S9 ..... No easy access to the battery is weak, I don't care about waterproofing. I don't take showers with my phone.
If you don't care about waterproofing then buy the phone the s9 i mean you just seen it's very simple the change the battery
You sound like you'll be changing the battery every weekend. If you're not comfortable buy a battery and pay someone to do it in a few minutes
@@ahassen1236 i am not paying someone to do something that takes 3 minutes. And I shouldn't be forced to do it either.
Great vid, apart from my S9 does not have its fingerprint cable attached to the back case. Also the logic board cover would not come out until i removed the camera lens cover which exposed another hidden screw that needed to be removed before the logic cover could be removed.
I'm not sure why mine is a bit different as it is a Samsung S9 not a + but maybe because it from the UK. Thought I would post this as it might help someone out if they have the same problem. :)
Coming here to report on my experience. (This is not my first time doing teardowns. Ive done older iphones, laptops, plenty of androids, so this was frustrating).
Step 1: Removing the back cover: Almost the entire part of my back cover was glued. I had no pry tool that reaches far into the phone that could bend the way its expected. They seem to have made the back cover impossible to remove without breaking it (yes i broke it cause I cant pry the glue further. I suggest cutting up a gift card or credit card thin so you can reach far while it bends with the curve. (bought a replacement back cover in amazon) More heat may help, but honestly id rather risk a broken back cover than a forever heat stained touch screen. I only had a hair dryer so its easy to overdo it.
My fingerprint sensor came off from the back cover (probably due to the amount of heat i used). Made it easier to remove back cover though. Which will make replacement back cover easier too.
Second layer of cover was easy. I didn't have to remove the bottom portion.
Battery, I did heat it up and eventually used a cake stripping knife to avoid bending it (just stuck it on the top left, all the way down. All adhesive came off with it. great cause my replacement battery provided a pullable adhesive (that i had to resize)
Replacing second layer of cover was slightly tricky, had to make sure its at the bottom of the gooey sticky layer at the edges. Put back the broken glass cover (for now), with packaging tape holding all the broken glass.
So far everything works (including fingerprint sensor). we'll see how good/bad the battery i bought is over time.
You saved me a lot of trouble...I am decent at fixing stuff...but I also know what I don't know...and I know there is a good chance to mess this up...was going to get a used S9 and a used S10...but now I will just buy yesterdays old new phones...I'm not getting a used one now...I will spend a few extra bucks and get a brand new old model...think about it folks...if you aren't good at gadgets...and you buy used old brands...you then have to take it to an expert and you pay for it anyway...planned obsolesce...harumphh
good stuff! thanks for reminding me about the water resistance thing haha
🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺 My charger has been given me grief for ages, now it barely works. I have to do all sorts of things to get that "lightning" sign to show, and then once the phone is laid down it stops charging. What do you suggest? I have manouvered the charger loads of time, each time I'm gentle so as not to damage it.
Late reply, but either look into getting a new charging port replacement, new charger or if your phone is able to, use wireless charging.
I think I will leave it to my nabour to do this for me I don't feel confident doing myself great video thanks.
Thanks this was very informative, you touched all the information.
I think if you reheat the phone again when you putback the cover , that will make soft again the glue, and when you give presure to the panel will stick again to the glue.
Thanks for the video. It made it really easy. My phone is back
Be careful Samsung users if you see the back of your phone is popping out replace the battery asap. I ignored it on my s7 and it exploded
holy crap
Well now that you mission it my galaxy s9 looks kind of funny on one side it’s still together but it feels different then when I first got it
Wouldve been nice to know that underneath the battery where you have to pry is some delicate copper foil that is part of the screen... guess that's what i get for clicking the 7 minute vid. Not blaming you ofc but I barely touched it, and now there is a white line on my screen. wish your video mentioned it
I don't charge my phone with a cable. I have about 15 batteries that I charge with a wall charger and change them in 2 seconds with my galaxy s5 active. This is why I wont buy one of these phones with the batteries not removable.
Patrick Carr Same!
I feel similarly, but you may not have a choice much longer, sadly. Hence why I'm watching this video, in case it comes to the point where it must be replaced. Either that, or pay someone to do it if it's economically feasible.
I agree with you, but I sadly had to succumb to buying a new one as my S5 was no longer usable.
In time all things give out.
I was happy with my s5, my car from the 80s and many other things that have me set in my ways..... but you can only fight the inevitable for so long.
RIP S5, I will miss your battery options....
I did the same until I ran over my s5 with an excavator. The so would be perfect If you could switch out the battery like the s5
Hi! Question, can I take it to a shop to replace the waterproof adhesive?
NO YOU CERTAINLY CAN NOT!..just kidding I dunno
Wow.
Crazy.
Should probably re hear it up twice as long and then put a heavy book on top of with even pressure all around it and let cool. :)
Any recommendations for what to do when the glue won't release? No amount of heating [Used a gun and hot plate] has helped. Can't get any separation gap using suction cup, no chance of getting a pic in at all. ☹
Excellent demo. Thank you.
make a video about sealing the phone back up so it's still waterproof if possible
@@immortal2893 I'm never on the toilet longer than 20 min though
due to the large otterbox case i use, i cant/dont use the fingerprint scanner, and i also dont use wireless charging so thats two less things to worry about! (aka if i break them i dont mind as long as it doesnt mess with the rest of the phone, which i don't think should happen) 😄
Is it advisable to replace battery since there is a probability of body damage while opening
Video really helped out thanks alot
Excellent video, well done. Thanks
What about IP68? It is still accurate or after battery replacement it is better to avoid dust and water?
U can also use isopropyl alcohol on the adhesive and it works great especially for glass backs and under the battery
Will replaced battery be like the original in capacity and efficiency?
Well this looks the easiest of phones I've owned to replace that battery. Some you have to go through the whole damn thing like you were replacing the screen.
agree...looks pretty easy
Well, this helped a lot. my cover is broken, so I needed to change that
Thanks s much for your help! Sucessful battery replacement.
Great to hear!
Shouldn't you re-heat the phone at the end so that the glue can better shape itself for the phone?
I did not watch the end of the video, but reheating the cover after closing should have been standard procedure. And what's with the gloves?
thank you! Worked perfectly
Glad it helped!
Tht was very helpful. Thanks very much
Hi SergTech,
can I ask you something, I've S9 64gb model S960U1 and batery 3000mAh, my batery is does not working, I can buy any batery S9 or threre's specify a batery for this kind model s960u1. thanks
be very careful removing the back cover - it is so easy to crack it , btw it is not necessary to remove the speaker or its associated 4 screws.
Hello from the Philippines. I only had the chance now, 2022, to own an S9. Is it possible to fit in an S9+ battery in a regular S9? The battery performance of the S9 is not so good. Thank you so much - Cris.
so you dont need to re-heat up the adhesive after putting it all back together? to like make it all stick back together strongly?
Very good tutorial - thorough, but not too much info or awful music -- you mention possible snags, cautions and solutions. One minor suggestion -- maybe carefully test operating of the phone and speaker before reinstalling the back cover? Provided the new battery has sufficient charge of course.
When my battery starts to die I will definitely do this.
Battery replacement is expensive and wastes money
better to buy a phone with long time battery
@@furkansahin5061 What are you even on. Not expensive and you can't get better phones with longer battery life.
@@furkansahin5061 You're not making any sense. All phone batteries die at some point and it's cheap to replace the battery. It doesn't matter if your phone battery is 1000mAh or 50,000mAh. It will die and will need to be replaced. You're an idiot.
Yo, you forgot something. At 2:50 you see a loose cable on the back: that's not loose when you first open up the back. It's still connected to the phone, you need to loosen that cable before opening up the back as you otherwise WILL destroy the fingerprint scanning module. EDIT: 3:05 LOL, NOW you're telling. xD
There really is no need to remove the bottom black panel to replace the battery. An unnecessary step tbh. The rest of the video is good
the proplem is Water resistance will stop working
If you get to the point where the battery is fried, then the phone is now garbage too so waterproofing can suck a bag of dicks either way.
Not necessarily, i did my s7 battery and new adhesive and its like new! Broke the back cover rushing it off though 😀 luckily only £7.
dont drop it into water then..
@@jebes909090 Plus you can just put a case on it and you're fine.. just try not to make phone calls in the rain or underwater :)
Put a pile of glue so it will squish out every conner and it will be
It's still waterproof you can still get water splashed on it.... You just cant play with it as a submarine battleship like my 4year old nephew does when I leave it where he can get to it....
Was Galaxy S5 the last samsung flagship with removable battery AND water resistance?
No, minus the waterproof feature, Galaxy S7 had a removable battery too. I just recently bought the S9. Now after watching this demonstration I feel fooled🤬
Fortunately mine is a work phone and they are talking about just exchanging it for newer one! This is completely nuts! This is how these companies make their money because they make it so that you have to compromise the case in order to change the battery! You heard the guys say that once you do this you the waterproof is voided!There is actually no way I would ever go through this!
If u need an alternative for a hot plate, just take an old IPad and play an 8k video on it at max brightness, will heat up plenty to use to heat up your S9's adhesive. 😄
Good tutorial. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
