- In this video, I demonstrate how to replace the battery in a Huawei Nexus 6P. Though the phone itself is very capable, the battery is beginning to show its age in many units, so replacement may be required. Please note that damage to the glass on the rear of the unit may occur during removal. If you are concerned about breaking it, replacement glass pieces can be obtained cheaply online.

As an instructor, I was very impressed how clear and informative this was. Well done! - a model for others! It also convinced me to let a pro do the battery change for me :)
You're great on stranger things. Glad to see you moved on to better things than mall phone repair kiosks
love it (love the repair tutorial too!)
This is the best video on how to replace the battery on a Nexus 6P as it shows what happens if you don't get your pick down far enough and remove the screen which is what happened to me. Thanks for the video and great tip on using double sided tape to glue the screen back down.
Good work man! I followed your video and was able to easily replace my 6Ps battery. Obviously I removed the SIM tray first. But now I have a new battery and new life to my phone. I was at under 50% battery life. Just opening an app would drop my battery by 2-4% and it wouldn't last 5 hours in standby before.
Thanks for the help. Between you and a few of the other tutorials I was able to get my battery replaced with minor scratches to the plastic backing. Thanks again. :)
Thank you for this video. I have had to replace my 6P battery every year since 2018 because the phone will start shutting down when it gets below 40-50% of battery charge. I had previously taken it to a shop that would charge me $70 for this, so this time I had decided to do it myself. Also, I had just successfully replaced my Sony SmartWatch 3 battery, so I felt confident that I could do this. I watched about ten different videos on how to replace the 6P battery the night before. Yours came up on my TH-cam recommendations right before I was going to start so I decided to watch it, too. None of the other videos had mentioned the danger of taking off the display. The panels on the back came off easily and the screws came out with no problems. I was especially cautious not to take off the display because of what you had said and... I pulled up the display. I tried to tamp it back in and concentrated on digging down below the level of the screen to get below the circuit board so I could pry it up. This was especially hard, even harder because of the screen having been pried up. I was finally able to replace the battery, but I could not get the phone to come back on. Or at least I could not get the screen to come back on. I think the phone was on because I got a notice on my watch that I had missed a couple of calls and using my fingerprint reader would result in a little buzz. But otherwise I'm afraid this phone is toast. I have a backup phone so I'll be switching my SIM card to it. And I'll be relying on the shop for this service from now on. I wish they would just make the phones with user-replaceable batteries like they used to.
Great tutorial man. Was losing like 30% in 20 minutes by the time my battery came in. Mangled the case a bit but oh well it only needs to last until I get an S9 in the spring. Thanks again
This was actually a very helpful video. I watched this and 2 others before replacing my battery last night. The mistakes of removing the screen and turning the phone on were both mistakes I would have made if not for this video. No other video really shows common problems you may run in to.
Great vid! I was worried about replacing my battery, but your step-by-step instructions made it very manageable!
Great video, as others mentioned, remove the sim card first. Also, if you're having trouble getting the edge up on the camera glass or the plastic at the bottom, apply more heat. I used a heat gun(obv don't over due it. But experiment in steps) then put a straight razor blade(thin cheap kind) in the crease between the camera glass and frame and push the blade flat to create lift. When you've applied enough heat it comes up quite easily. Once you're under the glass there's no need to keep using the razor blade around the edge, stick the blade in the portion you have up, apply more heat with it wedged, and then go around with a guitar pick or plastic spreader and gradually apply more heat, and keep spreading the edge open with your tool. Just did the replacement without breaking anything and the phones working tops. Also, two suction cups really help to pull the phone from the frame. Use the suction cups to pull on both sides of the bottom corner of the phone, and then stick the pick perpendicular to the screen in to the gap you create. Did not separate the screen from the phone and didnt bend it or break it this way. Once one corner is up you just run the pick around the edge while pulling apart with the suction cups and it comes right out. Also when re assembling you can re-use the old battery tape, and also apply heat to the back of the glass and bottom piece before re installing to re set the glue that was left on both pieces. Seemed to hold well. Thanks for a great vid!
Thank you - for me, the clearest instructions I found. And the phone is up and running!
Took 40 minutes! Thanks to your video my Nexus 6P is as good as new!!!! Thank you! And Subscribed!
Thanks, this was super useful. I was able to replace the battery quickly with your instructions.
thank you! made a tiny scratch trying to remove the bottom screw plastic part but other than that , phone has a new battery and works well so far! keep up the good work
Sometimes, you will scratch a product while repairing it, but hey, if the choice is between a scratched product and a dead one, I don't mind a scratch, especially on a hard to see part of the phone.
This is why batteries should be removable. You can still make the phone waterproof. There are phones that have both removable batteries and waterproofing. This is simply built in obsolescence.
Thanks for the video I've fixed many iPhones and Samsungs before and this phone was easier than them all. The only problem I had is a wrecked the camera glass and plastic cover at the bottom but just ordered spares for them with the battery and all is good.
This was great! Thanks for including your mistake taking off the screen. It really helped me to avoid it! Otherwise, I definitely would have made the same mistake.
Thanks dude, I'm going to give this a go.
For anyone trying this, be very careful when taking the front out.. I found that nobody really mentioned how careful you need to be. I appears most are taking the screen out but you actually need to dig really deep to get the phone from the back case. If you start lifting any of the glass/screen then stop as you'll most likely break it like I did..
bye bye 6P..time for a new phone I guess.
Changing a phone battery should not be a science project. I don't know what Google was thinking.
They were thinking: People replace their phones about every year anyway, so might as well milk it.
Google have some prime lib-tard douche bags working for them. I suspect that's the reason.
Thanks for the guide! might want to change the "Until next time, Bye" thing tho haha
Thanks for the video.
I just replaced the battery in my Nexus 6p.
My glass panel on the back did crack, but it didn't break.
I ordered a new glass panel when I ordered the battery, but I didn't want to wait for it to do the battery replacement since my old battery was terrible.
My glass panel cracked at the bottom of the flash opening but stopped there.
I just applied more heat using the iOpener and came at the glass from the other side.
The glass came off ok but it now has a small crack.
When I get the new glass panel, I'll swap out the old one ASAP.
Watching you cut toward your thumb gave me the shivers. Remember, cut toward your chum, not toward your thumb!
Great tutorial!, best of luck.
Thanks for your help
Good info! Nice video dude!
The best video by far
Hey @DODID I love you dumper diving videos, will you do more? I myself do the same exact thing. I go to my local eWaste center and they allow me to take whatever.
Nicely done video. So, can you measure the improvement with the new battery? Can you tell the difference?
Great video , thanks
I love my 6P, but goddamn the battery
Thanks for the vid.
Hi, where did you get the replacement battery...? i am looking at one on amazon... excellent video
Really should have advised caution about using a card to get the battery out. You can only safely stick the card in 1/3 of the way to remove the battery. There is a ribbon cable that apparently goes to the camera. I bent mine using the card technique. That shot changes so quick you don't get to see the ribbon cable underneath. My camera is bricked now and I'm going to have to by a new phone because I bent that cable. Too bad because the new battery is great. Mind the ribbon cable behind the battery if you are going to attempt this.
or... Just get a new cable...
TechCentre Was leaving for trip overseas. It was fix the cable or buy a new phone. No time to ship. I managed to get the cable working. But thanks for the tip... Lol.
You didn't mention eject the sim tray.
Very good point. Yes, make sure to do that, otherwise the phone won't come apart properly.
@@Dodoid Should've researched eh man
@@Night176 I actually did research this, and I did remove the SIM tray when doing this myself. I even filmed it. Just forgot to edit it in or mention in voiceover.
@@Dodoid oh cool
This was a pretty easy fix I replaced the battery and had to change the bottom charging port. put everything back together now the bottom speaker doesnt work with phone calls but works for everything else. also fast charging doesnt work anymore. Any ideas?
So, buy a new phone. Got it.
Me...😒
Yes 😂 I predict a flood of cheap nexus 6p's for sale soon.
basically.
Yes buy a new $700-$900 phone or pay $15 for a battery and repair it yourself I choose replace the battery first.
Good instructions - but folks - TAKE OUT YOUR SIM CARD FIRST! and also, getting the glass lens cover off was way harder for me than you, but I'm hoping I can buy a replacement.
Yes, you do need to eject the SIM. For the glass cover, you need to heat it quite a bit, and have a sharp knife to get it off.
The old battery had a flat ribbon connector at top that I didn't see you remove. When you pulled out the battery your hand was covering that connector. The new battery didn't appear to have the same ribbon connector. Is it needed?
The three FPC ribbon cables are for the battery, and USB board (which has two). When I put the new battery in, I plugged in the battery to its connector, then later (at 4:34) plugged in the USB board connector. The old and new batteries also seem to be slightly differently constructed. One has a loop of battery cable over the top, the other has it underneath. I presume this has to do with Huawei changing how they make these (the original battery was original from the very early 6P, the new one was purchased just before the video was released).
Hot melt glue on glass is so much easier and if you glue something to it, you have a handle. After its easy to remove hot melt with a soft scraper.
Swapping out the battery on the Nexus 5 was challenging enough. There's no way I'm trying this replacement.
Hi, Can you please mention where did you bought the OEM Huawei battery from?
I got it from eBay, but there are many available online.
Which battery to buy and get temperature sensor and fast charging?
Sorry, I'm not sure. My new one supports neither (other than that, it actually works fine though).
I noticed it wasnt mentioned that before pulling the phone out of the back, you need to take out the sim card tray. It is very important to pull this sim card case out before removing the back off the phone.
Did it a few minutes ago. Easier than i thought. Do this if ur Battery is garbage!
can i heat the camera glass with a hairdryer to remove it? because i dont have a heat gun
You don't need a heatgun, watch the video. You use an iOpener. In absence of that, I don't know, but I would strongly suspect the hairdryer is not hot enough. I would suggest the iOpener, it's cheap and useful for other repairs too.
woooo hahaha i have just done it, even with the hairdryer, everything is perfectly, i didnt brake anything!! it was easier than i expected lool
You must pull out the SIM and the tray it sits in. Break this and you're up the creek without a paddle. You'll need the SIM removal tool (like a thin long wire) to pop the SIM and tray out.
If you want a new intro, i can make one if you want me to! I'd be happy to help :D
Oh man, I don't know why but man I wish I had one of these, even though its getting a bunch of issues and I have a better phone
It's a nice phone. I like being able to run LineageOS without Play Services on it (for privacy) and the specs are totally fine for my use. I don't see myself upgrading for a few years, unless a particularly good opportunity presents itself.
Be careful when you pull up the battery - if you push the card too hard you can mangle the cable that sits beneath the battery.
Can i use a hair dryer to heat it?
Maybe, but I haven't tried it. It might not be hot enough to melt the glue properly. Continue at your own risk.
Halp. The widest internal power ribbon won't get + stay back in place. :/
Crazy
I guarantee everyone that the random shutting down issue will be solved after replacing the battery. You won't get original battery these days easily. So, go for some other company battery.
Get the 3450 mah battery from Flipkart or Amazon after checking their star rating. It will cost around 9$ to 11$ only. I did that for my 3 year old Google Nexus 6p and now it doesn't shut down until below 1percent battery.
However, do this yourself by seeing some TH-cam videos on replacing battery diy. No need to find a Google or Huawei service center for as simple thing as changing the battery.
I love my phone very much now and I play minecraft on it daily.
This phone is great, no doubt. But other phones too get their battery weakened after 2 to 3 years. So, do not blame your Great Nexus 6p guys.
B L I N K!!!!!
Hey that's the kid from stranger things.
Follow Ricks Tech 15 minute video to remove the bottom; don't try to remove the glass. Need a little more detail in getting to the bottom part where the battery is.
Is this your main phone? If it isn't what is your main phone.
That is my main phone, but for privacy reasons, I am looking into ways to get rid of my cellphone entirely. The dream setup would be a low-ish frequency (maybe some stuff meant for drones, no idea as of now) self-pointing directional-antenna radiomodem on my roof (speed would be slow but all I use my phone for is very occasional SMS).
Dodoid cool.
Thumbs up if you also cracked your glass!
Sadly, you lost me at: Glass. :P I'll just have to keep charging it until I can afford a new phone.
It isn't as hard as it looks. Just order a replacement 6P glass camera cover (they're like $2 on ebay) and then if yours breaks you have a new one to replace it with once you're done.
Dodoid you lost me at ifixit heat pad thingy. heat gun. whatever. tool i will use once that costs £15. but great video.
sir i form india py phone is not charging please help sir
Have you changed the battery already, or are you asking about changing it to fix this problem?
Please open to donations, or a patreon so you can actually buy a better camera. I like your videos!
My camera isn't too bad, though it only does 1080p30 (it's a DSLR, so video isn't really the priority). I could maybe use a macro lens for small work like what's seen in this video (it would be particularly bad here, since the camera is very zoomed in and grainy because of it).
Oh, that's the reason. Probably it is using a combination of optical and digital zoom. By the way... I like a lot your dumpster diving videos and stuff like that. I'd love to do that... but here in italy it's not so common to find things like that.
Nope, pure optical, but zoomed in way further than that lens is really good for. The camera is also an APSC sensor as opposed to full frame, so not as much light is hitting it and the ISO has to be cranked in order to see anything, hence the grain.
Dumpster diving is cool, as are garage sales. Expect another garage sale video coming soon, though unfortunately no dumpster diving in that one.
Cool...waiting for a new video with good used parts and things to salvage!
Kudoz!
Sophie Dee look alike
Blink
I have lineage os too lol
I cracked my screen while prying out the back plate :~(
You haven't been in my subscription feed
Strange. I don't want to be one of those annoying "SMAAAAAAASH THAT BELL ICON TO GET ALL MY VIDEOS STRAAAAAAIIIIGHT INTO YOUR INBOX" people but maybe that would work if subscriptions are not working for you?
LineageOS!
so it's harder to open it up than it is to close it up... lol
usually its the otherway around
Is it just me, or is that porn on the screen in the back?
Nah, it's Final Cut with the phone on the table and the discoloration resulting from filming a monitor (I filmed intro and outro halfway through editing the main content). At the end of the video you can see the same screen but viewing another event, this one with my intro and outro clips as well as some audio.
No, no, no, not an exacto knife. Use plastic tool made for this.
I found that the panel gaps were too narrow for traditional plastic opening tools, or even a thin metal spudger-like tool. The knife worked fine and is unfortunately the only real method for this I have heard of actually working.
your wife has nice hands
Hey kid blink!
thanks
SLOW DOWN just a tad ! Geez.
First, you need a haircut. Second, I really don't feel confident that you know what you're doing considering all of the mistakes you made (however you did acknowledge them). Third. While filming, either the instructions were out of camera shot or your hair was in the way. Fourth. I think I'll pass on using your video for replacing my battery. Have a good day.
Great video , thanks
