there's an inordinate amount of people hating on the nails. someone does you the kindness of a step-by-step, well-produced, free video tutorial on how to fix your device and your first thought is that you don't like how they dress? while it's true that the nails could get in the way, that's not your problem, and they did the whole process just fine. "Everyone should have the right to repair what they paid for!" unless you like your nails a certain way, then you don't count.
The nails looked pretty great I thought, also if it's possible to do this repair with those then maybe I have a chance at success with my awkward man hands :)
"Quick and Easy" - is that an attempt at irony? use 10 different tools, including some specialized ones, heat up the phone, insert picks but watch out for cables, avoid twisting, brackets require force to release, carefully peel up the tape, unscrew 16 screws, insert spudger, clean off thermal paste, disconnect battery cable, remove antenna screw, bracket and connector, remove battery spacer, heat up back of device, use pull tabs to release battery, clean remaining residue, apply adhesive to new battery, reconnect cables, apply thermal paste, fasten 16 screws back, reapply silver tape, clean residual adhesive, attach display adhesive, reconnect display cable and bracket. Did I forget anything? Quick and easy would be something like: unscrew 4 screws to remove your phone's back panel, use pull tabs to take out your old battery, use new sticky tabs to insert new battery, close the back panel. Done.
Look up the steps for a Samsung phone besides adhesives they basically swamp the competition in repairability. They even claim that it's possible to do. Unlike the fruit social club.
@@infernaldaedra The "fruit social club" that has a double-opening phone where you can replace the battery without removing the screen and the entire midframe? And without needing thermal paste, without needing the additional step of using heat to melt the adhesive holding the phone together? Maybe you need to re-watch iFixit's video on replacing the iPhone 14, 15, or 16's battery...
Alot of the steps and tools used here aren't necessary for a successful repair and is just to ensure the best result for a beginner so yeah it's relatively quick and easy while not being the easiest
just had my pixel 6 battery replaced a few weeks ago. it swole up and pushed the screen forward, luckily nothing was damaged. i guess most batteries last about 2 years
I miss the days when one could pop the cover off and replace a battery with no tools. Is it worth all this hassle to shave a few mm of thickness and gluing everything down? Batteries are consumables, yet the design of these devices don't make it easy (and in some cases make it intentionally difficult) to replace.
4:20 WHY we need to re-apply adhesive for the new battery?, it was so snug fit, is it really necessary? can't it be something else like a thin FOAM to make it more snug and not rattle around can Ifixit test the theory out?
Trust me if it wasn't necessary they wouldn't do it. The old Pixel phones tried using masking tape and all those phones ended up getting recalled or they failed immediately.
The tape might help with transferring heat from the battery to the back of the device where it can radiate away, so using foam doesn't seem like a good idea to me. The tape on the new battery seemed fairly small compared to the original tape though. Also because the lithium batteries could swell over time, maybe it is important for them to be aligned neatly with space around. But I'm not sure about that.
I have used them for years without any problems or anything breaking. My Pixel 2 is still in use and has been running fine for already 7 years. My Pixel 6a dito. The only issue with the Pixel 6a is that the under-display fingerprint reader doesn't really work with a glass screenprotector (works fine with a TPU screen protector luckily). Google bought most of the HTC-team to make their phones and HTC were one of the best quality phones when it still existed (I also had those without any problems or breaking). :)
Quick and easy? 🙂
Yes haha
Yes that is quick and easy. If you keep asking for slimmer phones and "water resistanance". 😂😂

You took the words right out of my mouth. Myself, I'm happy to be owning a Fairphone 4 - it ain't perfect, but boy are those batteries swappable...

EU set out a law that batteries have to be removable in phones again.
If we're lucky, this will also be Applied in other countries.
Great video
Complex
Love the nails!!!!
Is it ok to disconnect the screen before the battery?
No, Always disconnect the battery before anything else.

Hi, can upgrade Samsung S9 battery with higher mah capacity..?🎉
I’ve never seen someone put a battery so badly 😆👎
Do you have a video on iPhone 12?
Ignore the haters, your nails look great! 💅 Thanks for the guide! ☺️
Those Raptor Dinosaur finger nails had me dry-retching.
Pixel phones! The worst built smartphones in existence with the slogan made by the inventors of Android. 🤣

But the reparability seems like a hassle looking at this video. Like with most brands. Replacing a battery should be way easier.
Merci pour la réparation.🙏👍
Denatured Alcohol works better than isopropyl
Please give me a samsung s20 ultra display 🙏
why do you want something for free? Maybe buy one with your own money?
Bruh
@@oiuqreofnqoiruegnqerg I am buy new phone I spent all money and now I have no money and dead display
Stop begging and get a job
the first step for you is to trim your nails and then atleast wear some gloves before handling electronics.
