That's a good tip. How the hell did you find that out?

@@dazhobson Think I'd seen it in a few Reddit threads about phone battery replacement

I WAS TOLD TO CHARGE FOR 9 HOURS AND THEN USE AS NORMAL?

@@rayruiz1172 nah, the phone software must just calculate how much Wh does the battery actually have (it measures the consumption all the time and combines it with measured time). Charging it for x hours wouldn't do anything as it doesn't allow it to measure the max disacharged Wh

I've done many battery replacements.This is a good tip but from my experience just charging to 100 and using to near 0 is fine and the phone will adapt to normal as you use the phone

I'm not Samsung certified or by no means a phone expert but in my experience a battery that is near end of life usually doesn't hold a charge. Most certified refurbished companies will test the batteries to make sure they hold at least 80% charge before shipping. If it goes below that it's going to degrade rapidly. If it's holding a full charge you should have some life left

😂 basically you need the equipment a bank robber needs and a " heat plate"

u can buy a battery case . ima use it till i decide to fi ally do this

Yeah, I had a bit of a change of heart too. Not quite as bad as I thought the worst scenario could be, but still a bit of a risky pain in the rear. To me it looked kinda like you may not need to take that speaker/shroud part off at the bottom so if not, I'm hoping to skip that part. If I ever change it now, I think I'll try it myself as the battery was only around AUD$18 on Ebay & I recently got quoted AUD$350 At a vendor/repairer in a shopping mall. I'd had 3 deterioration messages(s10) & at least one on my s7, & multiple overheats some time before that on both phones. All after I started playing fishland & farmland on Temu. Those bl00dy stupid games are so processor inefficient they heat the phone up fast to crazy amounts especially when your phone is trying to do other stuff simultaneously. To anyone reading this: if you want to play those games on your s10 or s7, (& pobably the s8 & s9 too) practice these 5 things to preserve your battery: --- Always play with power saver on as it will limit your Cpu to 70% --- Don't have a miniplayer video going from any app while your playing --- don't be fast charging while playing. --- Have it out of it's case wherever practical while playing as heat can dissipate quicker that way. --- Try to not have the screen brightness over ⅔ to ¾.

@@barcodeguy7627 STFU IP68 and a user replaceable battery are both possible.

@@barcodeguy7627 Ip67 has been possible with removeable back. Id gladly take a removeable back over ip68 but nobody makes them anymore because it is more profitable.

If you can afford a $700+ flagship phone then you can afford to pay $50-$70 for a battery replacement. Just saying.

lol

These are water proof, that's why it is difficult. It's a trade off.

Great tip. I was considering using a sealed polythene bag with hot water in it (tricky to do but possible), but the ceramic plate on a pan of water is much better!

Ah! Nice tip! I'm debating on trying it but the battery is so horrible I can barely get through a day and even on airplane mode it is losing charge so fast. I really hate to upgrade either I grow very attached to my phones 😅

Thanks for this, I was wondering why that was removed for as it appears not to be blocking the battery at all. Appreciate sharing your experience.

Waterproofing changed that one

@@Skatted no it didn't s5 had a perfectly fine water protection with a removeable cover

@@Skatted Thats an excuse, the real one Is to avoid use if you lose the phone or its stolen

@@xeneize285 Not really. People want all this bleeding edge technology in a thin package AND high water resistance. Tons of glue is the best way to protect all these sensitive components. For the battery itself some glue is necessary to hold it down but it shouldn't be hard to remove it. For the S10 I would say this is moderately difficult to replace. Some battery pull tabs would be nice. I think they did that for the new S23 series. I've seen iphones in the past that have batteries that are near impossible to replace even for professionals.

Does buying new back glass mean you can retain the waterproofness?

@@gonzogb8778 the new back glass comes with the adhesive so it should give a good seal.

Hi may I ask how many months did your samsung galaxy s10 battery last?

@@ammarshaikh5067 i'm not a pro at battery replacing but i'm sure these kinds of batteries can last 2-3 years

@@theshred1030 The thing is I've had my galaxy s10 since March 8 its release date, and the battery is absolute garbage to the point that an iphone 8 can beat it in battery and idk why....(No abnormal battery drainage detected in the phone).

@Mr. M I literally tried everything, I'm using a 45W charger, there must be a manufacturer fault in which I guess I'll have to go and replace my battery

@@Dmc63613 that seems highly unusual. I have a Galaxy Note S9 (admittedly, not a 10) and unless I'm streaming video in poor cell access regions it will last 18 hours quite easily. I've had it over a year. If yours is doing that, invoke the warranty. I am sorry to hear that.

🤣😂🤣😂same brother.

Is your battery life much better now? I sometimes wonder if I have too many apps all vying for cpu/internet time. My screen is cracked, so I'm a bit nervous about going through this process. I think I can hold out another 6 mths or so.

@@kiwicam6419 It wasn't like new OEM, but it was definitely improved. Eventually I had to replace my S10 because it ran out of memory. Suspiciously, when I got a new phone and transferred everything over, it now only uses 1/2 the memory that it occupied on my 3 year old S10.

@@jegm6300 I think I'll just continue on as long as I can with my S10. It's ok for now. Maybe a factory reset would help clear things out a bit.

Same here. 3 yes old and still love it. Repair is noble

99 cents if you can order your own

@@chrisriani so you can resell the phone after 3 years of use for about 500$?

@@chrisriani That's not complicated lol. You want complicated, replace a smartwatch battery, though some would even argue that's not complicated. It was for me though. This looks easy.

@@PaperBagMan884 Go ahaid and remove a power button of the galaxy s10e where you have to remove the whole front screen, all the inside just to be able to put in a freakin button that actually is very cheap (3$). But the risk for breaking the screen is too high, so youre kinda forced to pay 65 bucks at an phone repair shop

ur gona break the phone lol ur gona be so mad whej u realize u cant do this and habe ro pay someone 50 bucks

I'm certain they can't guarantee any water resistance with a removable back. Each time you remove the back you would be getting less and less water resistance.

@@CarolinaMiC They managed it with the S5 though, but I get your point.

@@tomkoppenatsch9355 fair enough.

@@CarolinaMiC it's really sad to see Samsung slowly turn into the second Apple. I remember originally switching from an iPhone 3GS back in the days to a Galaxy Note 2 and the fact that I had expandable storage with the ablity to change battery so easily was such an astounding feature; I didn't want to go back cause it mean this phone would be so future-proof and it was, it lasted me like 5 years before the screen cracked. These days Samsung have taken note of planned obsolesence so much so that they now completely solidly glue the battery of the S10 in the phone in hopes that you don't try change batteries a year or two later (when they inevitably degrade because of battery chemistry) and instead you're forced to pay them for repairs (like the way you're forced to with apple cause they seal everything in) or even better for them, pay an exorbinant amount for their new flagship next year. I hate planned obsolesence with a passion.

@@MohammedYaseenAhammed235 ummm it probably doesn't cost that much for a battery replacement. Also, sealing the back means you wont be dropping another grand if your phone gets wet.

Glad it was helpful!

I would have never bought this phone if I knew about the back cover. Shoulda done my homework! Kicking myself.

@@fallspring1033 yeah, I was quite surprised after having only bought cheap phones for years when I finally got a good one and it didn't have the snap on/off back.

@@bighead1602 I like the phone so far. Samsung Galaxy S10. I just hope I never have to have the battery replaced.

@@fallspring1033 for sure, you really shouldn't need to replace it unless you're over charging it or if there is a manufacturer fault, which is quite unlikely. If you do though, it's really not that hard, first time you may be a little worried because you wouldn't want to break your phone ofc but it's really quite simple.

See, I don't actually have a problem with the back cover being hard to take off because the battery popped it off for me already...when it swelled up due to being on my wireless charger all the time. Reason I had to use a wireless one was because Samsung made the charging port oversensitive to moisture, so even when there isn't even any there, it still gives me a notification that there is and won't let me use it. So I was forced to use a wireless one, and then, well, THIS happened. So it was either not use my phone at all because I can't charge it, or blow up the battery on a wireless charger. Hopefully when the new battery comes in from Amazon, it'll work and be easy to swap out. I bought two, just in case something like this happens again. But I'm not happy about having to do this in the first place, due to Samsung's incompetence with the charger.

i was thinking that. I rememebr when the battery used to be on the outside, and people would easily replace it. So Samsung immediately thought, lets make the battery even harder to replace now,. and they hide it right at the bottom too, under all that crap to put people off from replacing it. Greedy pricks

the end goal for the phone companies is to make u buy a new phone not replace anything hence why it is built like that.

Also, they don't want you to take the battery out so that Big Brother can track you 24/7

This isn't true. Yes, it's in a fairly confined space but the space still allows movement. This movement, constantly shaking around and slightly impacting the sidewalls of it's enclosure will cause the battery to swell.

Not exactly right. Still, Apple uses two adhesive stripes that can be pulled out a lot easier

I was thinking this. Looked like there was no need to remove it to get the battery

Any time!

That's stupid water resistance is a requirement and no one will make a removable back on a phone maybe ever

just buy an iphone it s the best trust

@@barosul9712 top ten funniest lies ever!

My samsung S5 is defect now and it holds just 4 years and how is your phone going today? Is it still okay?

just, learn how to remove it -._-.

Use T7000 adhesive glue to stick it back together or the adhesive tape they sell

Once you remove the back cover it is no longer able to be water proof

@@jasonguevara4857 darn that sucks

@@jasonguevara4857 If you flawlessly replace the adhesive then reheat it to settle it again, it can be, although it's very difficult to do and risky to test afterwards.

There's a company called Asesino that sells a whole new backing with fresh adhesive on it

@@MansoorAli-du9ld - Where..? Or, how to find them..?

3:18

Nobody sells these yet (August 2019), at least nobody i can find in the USA - I assume the aftermarket battery vendors still need more time to start making them. And seeing how the phone model has only been sold since June they probably don't even have much demand for replacement batteries just yet. If we change our batteries ourselves now, we'd void the warranty.

These videos don't tell you as it's a trade secret for the most part hence why no one has responded to you

@@HAPPYSLAPS1 double sided adhesive... it's not rocket science

Kinda of not really but I know that this helps 1000% clamp the phone or press really hard for 10 minutes on it when the glue is drying, maybe put like 3 books on top of it lol

But not a water-resistant back

Totally absurd to me. I had no idea until after I purchased the phone. I don't know if I can do this.

nope, he is not kidding

EXACTLY!!!!😡😡😡😤

No, they don't! Part of it is also the water proof or water resistance rating. It has to be well sealed. It makes it difficult to get into them.

Physics. Lifting by the edge requires less force.

They want you to purchase a new phone not a new battery.

@@nellatl ya after u ruin it doing this.....lol I just bought a 10 so was curious....Use to using the Samsung phones u can change batteries easily.

Usually after 2 years of very average phone use you would get a big drop off on battery power. I'll probably change mine after a year and a bit though
