    Ok, so I'm 65 and changed my Nexus 6 battery with the help of this video. the best part is my grown daughters are proud of me! But yes, this video helped me with breaking thru to a new ability. It wasn't 100% easy though. I broke the the first new bsttery connector. And because I was sent the incorrect # tork screwdriver, I ruined the head of 2 of the 22 tiny screws! It wasn't easy but long story short..I DID IT! Thank you for the guidance of your video.!!! I won't hesitate to do it again. But I will be very careful about small and delicate parts. Going a little more slowly would help next time. Love my Nexus 6!!!! I understand it.

      Beth Bernier Great job! From what I've read, there are two different variants of the N6 with different size screws. That may have been the problem...

      Some are saying it's torx size T3 not T4. In fact the kit from IFixIt has a torx T3 in it. Very confusing.

      hi!
      i'm facing the same issue about the screwdriver... i ruined 1 head of the 22 tiny screws...
      according to your experience, do you think it would be a good idea to change this screws/to not replace it, or would it be better to put it back, even though it is gonna be even harder to make it turn ?
      thanks in advance ;)

    • @rkgsd
      @rkgsd 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would take a good screw from a non-critical area on the sides and just replace the bad one with it. There are too many screws so it won't crack open or flex anyway.

  • @SmartEasyDIYer
    @SmartEasyDIYer  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hey so a lot of you had a torx T3 work better than a T4 so i would recommend getting both because it seems like they used some of both. The T3 was too small on mine. Best of luck!

    In Jan 2018, I replaced my Nexus 6's original battery. Now it's Nov 2018 and I've already had to replace the replacement! Used your tutorial both times and would never have been able to succeed without it-you have my thanks, sir. Who knows how long this battery will last, but should I need to replace it again, I will find myself right here once more. Much appreciated.

    • @SmartEasyDIYer
      @SmartEasyDIYer  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Man yeah that’s too bad it didn’t last longer. I’m glad you were able to replace it successfully both times though. Take care.

    Battery started to fail in my Nexus 6 a few months ago. I keep it on life support (pretty much always connected to a battery bank or charger) to make it to Black Friday hoping to find a deal on an upgrade, but nothing came close to the value and form factor of the Nexus 6, even 4 years later. I had already tried to replace the battery some weeks ago. But once I got the back cover off, and saw all those delicate ribbon connectors, I wimped out. I use my phone for work daily, so if I screwed up and broke it, it would be a huge hassle to deal with the downtime of replacing it.
    Today I broke down and ordered a new Nexus 6. But once I transfer to it, I'm still going to try to replace the battery in my old one with this guide.

    • @SmartEasyDIYer
      @SmartEasyDIYer  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s great that you’ve gotten that much life out of your 6! I know my bro in law has one and he loves it too. He just doesn’t want to give it up. That’s a long time for someone to hang onto a phone nowadays it seems. For the price phones should last a long time! That’s probably good you have a backup phone while you replace the battery in this one. Hopefully you won’t have any issues though. Best of luck!

    Just finished doing this, and I used your video as a guide, and I had no problems, and I was relieved to see my phone turn on after I resembled everything. One thing to note, y'all may need a T3 screw, even though T4 was what you mentioned in the video. Patience is key, so if you're planning on doing this, I would set aside at least 45 minutes to an hour to get this done smoothly. Thank you for this tutorial.

    Worked for me too! I had to use a loupe to see the teeny tiny parts, and used a Torx #3 not #4, but I did it. Instructions were very clear and accurate. So great; my phone lasts all day now, was dying around 2-3PM each day if I didn't charge in the middle. Thanks for this video!

    Thank You Very Much for the Video. Quick and All Informations that are needed!
    My Suggestion would be to put the Battery Pin Back in BEFORE u put the Screws back in, because for me the Battery Orange Thingy was kinda Squeezed so i had to open the Screws on the Botton again.
    Also idk my Nexus 6 had kinda different Look in some Parts so for me T3 was better then T4 for the Screws.
    Small Question - With the Change - is it possible to Damage other Parts like Telefon Function, Button Functions or other Stuff or is it Safe since i only Touche everything beside the Panel?

  • @hapyhzrd
    @hapyhzrd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Be careful with the little door that houses the volume/power ribbon connection, it's easy to break and the ribbons won't stay connected by itself! Had to use a little adhesive to stick them together.
    Great video, thanks!

    I've replaced the screens on other phones, so it should be straightforward enough, though that said it was much better back in the day where the screws weren't hidden under a stick on panel.

    Don't know if it's just me, but I wouldn't recommend disconnecting the power/volume button ribbon at 1:26. It's very sensitive and is a pain to reseat. Took me a ton of retries to make it right. I would've just keep it connected, flip the midsection and leave them side by side while working on the battery.

    This phone's gonna kill me :P With help of this video, managed to get it done, though the little battery connector next to the lip to get the battery out of the frame broke off...knowing there's no solid fix I had to try anyway to put that little thing back in its place, use a small piece of the tape to hold it in place while re-assembling...moment of truth phone was booting up yay! Afraid the battery might explode on me if I'd try to charge it, I hesitantly put the charging cable in...BZZZ notification from hangout message from my mother *mini heartattack* ... So far though seems to be charging despite the broken off piece, so I managed to connect it alright as it should. Hope this baby can give me some more years of pleasure!
    Thanks to your good video. Only remark is that the screws are T3 not T4 (which I figured by earlier research)

    • @SmartEasyDIYer
      @SmartEasyDIYer  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow good job! I’m glad you improvised and figured it out ok. Yeah I’m not sure why some are t3 and some t4. Maybe my screwdriver was worn enough to fit. But for mine the t3 was too small and just wanted to strip the screws.

    • @kleinwolfje
      @kleinwolfje 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe, or it's ever so slightly different american vs european..though that should not be! One being worn out is more likely. And yeah I was so surprised, we're short on money but my phone has been dying randomly at first when making photos and sending them to people on whatsapp (when I was dogsitting) , then I thought because of winter weather shutting down while there's clearly enough battery left. Then I read similar experiences and this random shutting down was mostly around 60% battery...so while having bus cards on the phone, needing it for photos and as alarm I couldn't afford a new phone, a battery with the tools is already plenty expensive to us. So I'm happy and amazed I got the little connector just touching enough to work! Now I hope I can get through the day again without fearing I might get caught on the bus without battery needing to prove I've got a bus ticket or get a big fine.
