@@datingsas when you want to make a product that is not made before, you should not think about how it van be fixed in the Future. You figure that out in the second version...
@@Bert1986 I repair these for a living they still use the same crappy back glass on them. Your talking non sense like climate change activists that own yachts and multiple homes.
1. Use a fair amount of heat. 2. Use a playing card, it is the perfect size and removes the adhesive almost perfectly. 3. When replacing the cover, reheat the glass while it is on and you will get much better adhesion. Also the black adhesive waterproofing will adhere much better and not push the cover back out. Take your time and use the heat to your advantage.
Me too, I've been using galaxy phones for 5 years now (I've had 3 different generations) and every time after 6 months, the battery becomes embarrassingly bad. I got my s8 and I'd literally only charge it at night and now the battery drains within a couple hours of LIGHT usage, if I'm heavy using it I can go through a full charge in less than 2 hours. This has happened with every galaxy phone I've owned, and every time I think "surely they'll fix this problem on the next phone" but they never do. Along with the battery, these phones also become significantly slower. My next phone is gonna be a new brand of flagship Android with my #1 priority being long-term battery life because this is getting sickening
Water dunk test after cover removal? I like that another video explained that the inside could be scratched off to reveal a clear back cover. I would just want to make sure there was a new adhesive gasket to ensure the OEM quality water resistance rating.
Yeah it really shouldn't be this complicated. My old galaxy s5 was also water resistant to the same depth as the my new galaxy s8 but the whole back could be removed in an instant. Now that I have to replace the headphone jack I am a bit peeved that its this hard to take off the back of it. This will be the first time I needed to do it, and the s8 back looks much more slick than the s5 back, so there are pros and cons to it.
Thanks for the video. I wasn't sure if it was clips with a waterproof seal or adhesive. Your video told me. Advice to you and your viewers... reheat the phone periodically as you spudge it off.
people so negative ... yes it brakes the waterproofing but i just sent my phone away to have a failed battery replaced and they will not replace it till i pay £270 for a new screen as it has a very small crack at the bottom left .. so after looking at this video i can now replace my battery and not pay £270 for a screen i do not need
So, you showed me how to get my brand new $850.00 broken back glass off, can you tell me where I can buy a new back glass for less than buying a new phone. Had phone about 12 hours then BAMMM.
Chris Martin just pulled mine out of my pocket and now have a crack behind the lock button. haven't dropped it or banged it on anything. this sucks haha.
First thing I did after I bought this phone was buy and extra glass back for $12.00. sure enough, I needed it. This is a major flaw in this design. What were they thinking?
Just wanted to comment for anyone trying, ive been attempting to get mine off for around 3 hours, and it won't budge. Ive heated, suction cupped, pulled, nothing at all. I sincerly don't know how anyone has gotten it open this way.
Too many shots of knuckle instead of focus, "put heat on for a minute or two" -- is it one or two minutes, one is twice as long as the other! RECORD the heating as you do it! Last, hard to trust instructions that tell you you must have the phone off, yet when it restarts during process you do not shut it off again. I stopped watching there.
so old mate here just showed us how to wreck the waterproofing of the phone and not to mention show the whole world the phone's IMEI number. pretty annoyed as well, had my phone for less than a week and all 4 back corners are cracked already.
what if i cannot turn my phone off, thats why im tacking the battery out so i can restart it, do i have to have it turned off or can i remove it while it's on?
Okay, wait, so the galaxy s8 back cover *_doesn't_* come off? Or, should I say doesn't come off easily, or isn't supposed to come off? Idk why, I assumed it did.
You probably figured it out already, but for other people, make sure to note that there is a hole on the top right of your phone, where you insert the pin that came in the phone box, then a little compartment pops up where you put in the SD card. Good luck!
@ @@TheMrVengeance: From someone who read the flimsy arse freaking one-page 7"x10" useless "folded manual" that came with my brand new phone, it does *** NOT *** mention or a provide an illustration of where we can even FIND the sim tray.
@@Deelifull - Then maybe stop buying your phone on the black market. Mine came with a 100+ page user manual, where setup/installing the SIM is the first chapter. Including a picture of where it is. Just Google 'Galaxy S8 manual' and you'll find a PDF version. It's not hard.
Would have bought another samsung phone, not now.liked their removal easy cover back and battery and card inserts...better think protections on my old one..
yes. lose your warranty by fucking your new phone up with heating it in a microwave. thank you for the tip. should we put it in the oven as well? make some samsung burritos?
I just received my s8!!! after this video its going back!! Thanks!! Anyone that don't have money to burn, that keeps this gadget is a FOOL! GEE people you don't need to change pesky batteries and stuff?? If you do its a small gamble no problem just heat it in a fire!! No worry its just money!! Besides you need, got to have the s 9 next week!! Who cares about nerd stuff like batterys and sh!t, come on man!! Your coool they can put this phone in ass!!!!!
My phone is still warrantied and the said they wouldn't fix it bc it was cracked and I'd have to do a claim and pay 150 deductable for a new screen which is stupid
@@daisykearby5535This! I've had my phone for a year and have been paying insurance. $175 deductible to fix. It's cracked in 2 places and I have had a cover on it since the day I bought it. A new cover costs $6 but I don't want to void the warranty/insurance in case of more serious damage in future. Oh well, I'll just get a new cover for it!
Ok so when you was connecting the glass back back onto the phone that little coil you called the heart monitor I believe it's not connected because my s8 died one day I had like 1% left and it died completely out it on the charger and has never came back on
This can't be right. The phone did not come with its own hair dryer or suction cup. Courtesy of Google Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ - Remove SD / Memory Card Ensure the device is powered off. From the top of the device, insert the eject tool (from the original box) into the SIM / microSD slot. If the eject tool isn't available, use a paper clip. The tray should slide out. Remove the microSD card then close the tray
Miranda Mcgriff no no no don't buy it from ebay . it might be cheaper but it won't do the work it's a fake version the sensor won't work and it will break again even faster . i suggest you get the original back cover from the samsung company, it might cost you more than 150$ tho !
I agree my phone has also battery problem,and is so ridiculous to buy a whole new phone, just because Is difficult to open or replace the battery,no wonder they manufactured it that way,for money.
