Thanks bro, pretty straightforward with your help. I'm kind of pissed at Samsung for that shameful battery life though 😡

Ridiculous to make it this tedious to take a battery out of a phone! My other ones..you pop them open and just lift the battery out with your fingernail..This is absurd

Forgot to mention that u need to be careful when removing last cover. The volume buttons can pop out if ur not careful! Other than that, I appreciate the instructions. I made the replacement ... Lost & found the volume buttons & only lost 1 screw (i hv fat fingers!)😅

Well played samsung. Due to the age of the phone and how difficult they made it to replace the battery I have decided to just get a new phone, from a different brand! 😂

Hahahha! Getting a phone from another brand - same as I thought! Man. Removing a battery in the smartphones, it seems, could be as easy as in the times of the minimalistic cellphones. The risk and difficulty of using heaters and glues, and the lack of a native, complete backup tool... they induce us to wait too much with a swelling battery, a smartphone with a "mouth". Now I understand how the services fix it. An official repairing service shop was asking me factory reset and a 7 days deadline.

Many thanks for this video, very easy guide and swap over was relatively painless as a result (I have done a few phones previously though). Important to make sure you have all the tools to hand - small screwdriver most important, can use guitar picks/library card in place of plastic pry tool, and a hairdryer instead of heat gun. Back cover came off relatively easily after hairdryer use and managing to get in the opening with a thin enough guitar pick. Didn't quite appreciate how to get phone frame off but easy once I figured out what I was doing wrong. Battery had a LOT of adhesive on the back, was tricky to prise it out and it was already bulging (Yikes!). Probably worth replacing the battery every 3 years on these regardless as a proactive measure if you can (mine was 4 years old and was getting very hot/stopped charging at all). Used clear tape rather than glue to secure everything back together, in case new battery is rubbish/defective and I have to take it all apart again soon - phone in a fully enclosed case anyway so nothing going anywhere. Powered back up and everything back up and running faultlessly! Many thanks once again!!! 🙂

I got my new battery in and getting the back off the phone was tedious to say the least. It did require some careful heating and patience. Next after taking the sim card out first and getting then the screws out of the frame I used a piece of milk carton I cut out of a milk jug to release the frame from the phone. Go back and watch the video on how he did this. I had to go back in my phone twice. Apparently I did not have one of the ribbon cables fully pushed in. I did not apply any glue/adhesives to the back of my phone case lastly. I just re heated the existing tacky stuff the factory used and the back went back on nicely. GO SLOW on this project and do this when your rested and and not in a hurry. It took me almost 3 hours but I had to do this twice. My phone is like brand new again. Good luck folks.

It's pretty straightforward once you get going and just take it a step at a time - only took me about 30mins start to finish and that was encountering issues here and there (some my misunderstanding). New battery was only £10 as opposed to at least £150 on a decent replacement, so worth spending 30mins and £10 for me.

It's so ridiculous how they made it thay hard to replace a battery. This design is just intended to prevent normal people doing it.
