How to Replace the Battery on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 

The best custom case for your phone - idolcases.com/

never use metal tool for removing battery. battery can puncture and blast. use plastic pry tool

Thank you for making this video. The store told me it was integrated and it couldn't be changed and that a new phone was in order. I found that guitar picks worked very well, thin enough and strong enough for the task. You can find jewelers screw drivers at any hardware store for cheap. The whole replacement cost me under $70 for tools and batteries.

It would have been lovely had you shown heating the phone. That step is critical. Also, nice if you'd have shown ANYTHING you were doing when you started taking the back off. Nice view of the table though.

Thanks a lot. That helped me. During this COVID19 Pandemic, every mobile shop is closed here, my battery was working only for 5% and then my mobile was getting heated and switched off. Because of your tutorial, I was able to change the battery and use my mobile phone now. Thanks again

I managed to short the old battery during removal, while working it loose from the glue. While working the metal slim-jim-like shim tool underneath, I suddenly smelled a chemical odor. I stopped what I was doing and touched the back of the battery. Scalding hot! The battery began to swell a bit. I placed the phone on the driveway with nothing flammable nearby, then aimed an IR thermometer at it. Battery was at 210°F. Thermal runaway temp for Li-Po is 265°F. The temp did not rise any further, so I put a small battery powered fan on it, and eventually it cooled down to ambient. After carefully extracting it the rest of the way, it turned out I had torn the bag open and shorted it with my metal shim underneath where I could not see. I lucked out; it was only shorted when the tool was present. Phone is undamaged. It's a good idea to run your battery all the way down until the phone shuts off before doing this job to reduce the amount of stored energy in case something goes wrong. The glue is very strong, and simply pulling on the battery is unsafe. It needs to be carefully separated along both edges, similar to how you removed the glass back.

For me replacing the battery was the only option because I am still paying for the phone. If I don't use the phone much the battery might last all day. Yesterday I made 1 short phone call and sent and received several text and the battery was dead in 6 hours. If I use the phone moderately I have to charge it part way through the day. If it has heavy usage then I need to charge it twice. So replacing the battery is a must. One of the things you need to be warned about is if you have a glass back it could shatter. I have a heat gun and I heated up the the bottom of the phone, I lifted it up with the suction cup but when I put the pick under it the glass cracked and once it cracks it shatters the whole back. So I went back to Amazon and bought a back cover. All in all with this video I was about to replace the battery for under 40 bucks. Really good price. Also make sure that along with the screw drivers and picks that you have a small paperclip so you can pop out the SD card. By the by could not have replaced the battery without this video, thanks. As a technician I love the internet because you can find a fix for just about anything now.

Wow this is quite a complex process for me! I'm happy I just stuck with my note 3. Swapped my battery out and now I'm all set for another few years.

Wouldn't it wise to test the charging of the battery prior to adding all those screws???

Just changed my Note 5 battery successfully with your tips and precautions in mind. Thank you n cheers.

hey thanks for the video, i completed this process yesterday, my only advice for anyone doing this is buy a new cover before you start as it is near impossible to remove without shattering it. my battery came with all the tools i needed for the small screws but i still needed to use a flat sharp object to both very carefully remove the cover (which shattered the old one) and to remove the battery.

just rescued my baby pictures with your help, Thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful video. Very clear explained!

Got it done! Revived my old note 5 into a functional gimbal camera! $17 bucks for a new battery and your wisdom! Cheers

They broke out of Alcatraz easier than this!

great video and thank you for sharing, I have one question, I see you reused the factory adhesive, is it going to hold up after being pulled apart? is it still really sticky? thanks!

Only question I have ..did u need to use more adhesive when reapplying the back

Back up all your data and then discharge your battery, both CRITICAL! I followed this tutorial and lost everything because my phone did not work afterwards, my battery blew up like a balloon. Be safe.

after watching this im going to buy note 4 at this point

This vedio very helpful. My Samsung Note 5 Battery now is 5yrs no replacement anyway. Now i in counter that if im using youtube watching vedio easy to drained the battery. Thank you for sharing this vedio.

Very intelligible guide to follow. My only critique would be to advise us how delicate the back cover is, inadvertently broke mine. Oops! Other than a momentary lapse in judgment, it went smoothly.

It helped My impatience didn't Bye note 5, i will miss you

2016: watching a 12 min tutorial on how to replace a battery on a cell phone. what planet do we live in??

Do you think the cell phone repair stores would be able to use this method for repairs? I just need to charge my phone to transfer some important pictures and word documents. I have already purchased a new phone.

Very nice video, you did well!!! Thanks for sharing.

Just revived my old note. Thanks for your video.

For those who want to know, you must heat the back glass immensely. It should be so hot that you can't touch it without burning yourself. Only then will it start to come off. Taking the glass off is a real pain. The battery is bad too, but not as much as the back.

This alone will make me not own one of these because I have had to change the battery on every phone I have owned.

changing batteries in samsung new phones is very easy.i must say as easy as building a space shuttle in your garage

How'd you do that without breaking the rear glass. Mine broke immediately

This video does not show how to remove the glass properly (and can be found else where), BUT he does a good job of putting it back together. :) Thanks.

So If you didn't hate this phone before... try replacing the battery :D thanks for the video, I have a new found respect for phone and computer techs...

Where could i buy the battery. Is it the same with note 4? I cant find it here in ph.

Great video EXCEPT, You didn't say to heat up the front panels edges before removing it !!!! Because of that, I have damaged the upper left and lower right corners. Knowing the heat is required would prevent the damage.

nice video... would have been nice to show if the phone is still alive though after running it through that

Thanks a lot! this video really helped me and without using heat on my phone

Thank U so much I saved $40.-$25. replacing the battery myself 🤗🥰🔋

I did it! Only lost one screw. Also I had bad apple undo the back cover for free for me. :)

Great job on explaining process. Thanks, pretty thorough, except for heating part. What if don't have a hairdryer? What else can I use. I understand, avoid using metal to pry off back. What else can be used besides guitar picks? What size Phillips screwdriver did you use. I'm just starting and need to get some tools for fixing my phone and my laptops. Thanks. Jeff

Thanks, very helpful, I have a Note 5 intact and I want to revive it.

I tried to do this, the battery replacement went great exept that the back piece looks awful now and the screen on the phone went black, I don't blame him, I should have just taken it to a cellphone store

Same question? what did you use to HEAT >>>>????

Brillian, "have to give it some heat on the back cover" then you neglect to show us how it is you gave it some heat. Thanks!

what did you use to heat it up ?

Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot.

isamsung , great ! always support your phone , now you make no sd slot and removing battery so difficult ...wtf

where do you get the glass back cover? i broke mine . thank you

That wasn't helpful you didn't show how to give it heat

Why they changed from the Note 3 removable back is a mystery. Changed my Note 3 battery in under one minute.

Nuts !!! That's why i stick to Note 3 and get aftermarket triple capacity battery

so what happens if the glue of the back glass wasn't working? is there a glue/adhesive to use?

Biggest problem: finding a reliable replacement battery. Most are just as bad as the one you are replacing.

Easier to just buy a new back when you buy the battery. Back is very thin.

Helpful share, thank you 😁

Where do u buy your batteries?

Can you please clarify one thing. If you cut the glue off the back of the first case to get to the screws and in the end when it comes time to place the case back on again, would it not make sense that the case will not adhere and seal as well as it did before cutting the glue. Don't we need fresh new adhesive to make sure everything seals back together well like the first time before cutting and melting the glue?

really helpful 🖒thanks for your hard work on it XD

i serg you have A screen replacement video for this phone tanks jorge?

Question - if the battery is to change, the shop will make it possible, or not?

Nicely done, thank you.

So I want to permanently remove the cameras on this phone. Is it doable or do I have to drill it out?

Seriously. They put glue on the back cover and battery to the point you end up breaking something. Crazy

Everything it work for me but don't heat the screen to remove your battery, just use the tool and try to remove it slowly. By heating the screen, the black background on the top and at the bottom become transparency.

So I am really trying to understand how you did this; the end. I don't think that you can just put the back glass cover back on without adding any glue. And Maybe possibly after that heating it up or something to activate it and make it stick. But I can tell the cover is not going to just stick back on have factory grade resistance after that. Also, trying to place the cover it looks like it might have gotten smaller or something, some of the undercarriage exposed by like a 1 mm of space and two of the corners don't completely seal either. Any ideas on workarounds or other experience anyone can share?

Does n920v lcd is compatible in n920c lcd?

Life saver in 2023. Any one uses note 5 in 2023 ?

Awesome but what to use to hit hot gun or something else

Pro video editing tip: We do not need to watch you remove every single one of the 20 screws from the back of the phone. Removing one screw is the same as all the rest. Shave 2 full minutes off of this video... Edit: And nearly two more minutes putting every single one of those screws in on the reassembly.

how much is the cost for change the battery ?

Glad they told me about this lovely feature... wtf!

Thanks teach -- you are saving people a lot of bread here. I bought a replacement back cover as well, if it's got a few cracks it'll crumble upon removal -- same thing happen to my iPhone.

Thank you for the video. I did mine safe and sound.

Does someone have to buy new cover or can u use old one as u did? Heard you need a new one

He did not mention what are tools needed to do this? Also how did he heat up the back?

i hate to backup the data. do i need to? just to change the battery?

Bonus points on mine, the battery started to swell and actually forced the backplate half off. Yay for saving a step, lol.

you saved my life !

I'm not sure if I want to attempt that. Easy to fallow but I'm just not sure.

Sorry,How much cost replace buttery,only job?And weare?Thank you

What heat?

Man I just purchased this damned phone off of Amazon. Of I had known about this phone not having an easily accessible battery I wouldn't have bought it. Great video man. I'm going to need it in less than a year in sure, lol.

This worked! Thank you!

Thank you. Just got a 5 about 6 months ago and battery died. Had to replace it.

Max M -> JJ SS Max M - My note 5 was unable to be stolen because of this. I installed tasker and another app that tasker runs when the screens turn on to prevent the phone from being turned off when locked. They also couldn't lower the ring volume. Even if they did, it doesn't matter. I used tasker to set a routine where if I text my phone a specific text, the phone rings loudly until I text another message that stops it, or I unlock it. Since the above method to remove the battery is the only way to remove the battery, the battery can't be easily removed to turn off and steal the phone silently. So when I forgot my phone at a small store, using both the gps, rfi signals and the phone constantly ringing, I found it quickly. The kid who had it looked so embarrassed too.

great video .

Thanks. Big help!

dont you need new adhesive?

why is it so complicated to remove the battery

Is there an sd card slot in a note 5 or not? Please answer

Dont you need glue againg to put the cover back on ???????

what do you use for heat

I want to do this on my phone but my problem is where can i buy a good battery.. cuz my battery is severely damaged, everytime i plug it to my charger it immediately shows 51% already even though i just plugged it in at 15% then drains easily.

Hi I've completed the battery replacement. Now my screen monitor is not working, would you know what happened?

Oh, I totally forgot that I have this kind of suction cup in my bathroom; It's what keeps my soap and body sponge hang in a basket. ☻ I'll use it right away!

hello how much time heating because i cant get that gap and i already broke the glass :{

What about re attaching?

Do you guys know about the battery quantum 6600mah that can be use for note 5 ?

After this does the phone still work the same?? I'm sure something got damaged with that heating and prying shit.

So pissed off rn. When it got 2 the part to pop the back off you say it just comes right off and in the video it does. Well on mine it didnt Idk why but it was very difficult. And now the screen wont come on at all. Just the blue light. I'm dying

Please I need help. My note 5 SM-N920V just started bootlooping on its own. I have tried flashing the firmware from sam mobile but it still bootloops. I can't boot into recovery mode and the only option that works on the maintenance boot mode is restart and power down. Please help.
