Sony Xperia 1 IV Teardown Disassembly Repair Video Review 

You're welcome and thank you. Do people want there to be a playlist chosen by me for them to watch? never thought someone would want something like that.

@@PBKreviews Kowing how easy is a phone to repare may contribute to buying choice. Great thanks

Thanks and you're welcome :)

S22 Ultra is miles better than this. You made the correct choice bro

@ThatVoidDude no I didn't. It's a tad bit worse than my s9. Random restarts (option is turned off), vibrations weak, fingerprint scanner fails to recognize around 50% of the time, pictures and videos are MASSIVE in size, phone gets too hot while charging, 128gb doesn't last as much and phone lags too much. I restart my phone every month to keep it nice and running but it still randomly reboots twice, maybe 3 times a week. I made sure to enroll my fingerprint so it doesn't miss. Still does. A single picture is at around 5mb for some reason. Location tags are off. At 4:3. Can barely feel my phone vibrate despite it being at its strongest setting. I use a 10w charging brick, it shouldn't be getting that hot. It's in a cool, fresh place. Phone just lags. Do I want to type this comment? Phone starts stuttering. Do I wanna restart the phone to solve the problem? Too bad it's not gonna show me the power options. Do I want to see my notifs? Phone decides that it wants to show me the wallpaper instead.

@@ThisHandleIsNotTaken. Then I say that you have the Exynos variant.

@@thatvoiddude6188 oh I wish. It's the snapdragon version from AT&T

@@thatvoiddude6188 From my experience with both phones Xperia iv faster than s22 ultra Especially after a period of use for at least two months Also the speakers in 1 iv clearer and with 360 audio can not be compared with s22 ultra speakers , s22 ultra speakers It looks like an average phone when I compare it to Xperia1iv , There are a lot of things Sony beats Samsung like colors display , Sony has an creator mode and x1 mobile color and 4k 120 hz display and don't forget sd card slot and 3.5 headphon jack Also Much less weight than s22 ultra and comfortable in the hand

Glad it helped!

👍 :)

I wish a cooling fan could be added on the back to make this phone more efficient.. like those gaming phones

Hi, thank you. You can if you want, but make sure the thermal paste is not a highly conductive one since some are conductive while others aren't and if it leaks onto anything around it, it can short. I don't think the display would overheat.

Thanks!

👍

Hey, did you do this in the end? I am facing the same issue and debating doing the two together

Happy new year. I don't think gluing the screen to the phone would help it be shock proof, if anything it might made it worst. As for water proof, if the phone is not water resistant, then it can still get in from earpiece speaker, loud speaker, sim tray or any other openings like mic hole etc. You're better off getting a phone like the Galaxy XCover pro or similar durable and water resistant phones which offer rugged designs as well as water resistance.

i would say that, sony's UI far far one of the best over a decade. No illogical menus, bloatwares; digusting, over designed surfaces, what are getting slow after some months

I have Xperia 1 iv too, and it gets hot when I use it for the first time. But I tweak some settings.. But now.. battery last long and no heating issues. Go to location setting.. Turn off some apps you don't need to use location. Because there are app uses location even though its off on toggle settings. The the display. Only put apps you want to use 4k restitution.. the music. Also only put the app you want to use the 360 or dsee ultimate...

Hi, after you disassemble the phone as shown in the video, all that is left is to heat up the screen and pry it off. If you mean just the touch screen, its not possible for end users to replace since its glued to the screen itself and requires special tools and machines to do it correctly.

I mainly use my phone for music outside of web and calling, I can say that its speaker is one of the best clearest sounding one out there.

👍

Hi, no the glass is adhered to the screen, replacing the glass alone requires special tools and machines to do it correctly. You would need to replace the screen assembly.

@@PBKreviews Thank you! Would you then do the same to the front as how you removed the rear? Or do you actually have to go through the back and remove all of the parts to transfer in the new screen assembly?

You would need an original pre cut adhesive like this one www.ebay.com/itm/403037928096?hash=item5dd6eebaa0:g:EQUAAOSwA~9hB9JD&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoP5R9LRBAJz3DIz07x2%2FrvLk4cICuO5jYzgKB8Zc%2FJFJQ9Zk%2FKW3nluR%2BT%2BZbBkFq7%2F2MznQi%2FQZZza963GjR6%2FTe5bgzSCTf5TPO0MWipSS7iojW%2FV4175PRNX9KH%2Ff8hAfxwPEDtEZ3nOsG%2BOfF83c2N2X6TRApYlDhM2OWdwV5EbRviV3%2BeOpGM10GvADpje5NviVFvFd%2FFFFoaz1k%2BY%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6KplPmzYQ

You're welcome

I'm not sure the exact temp, but you can always use a hair dryer to be on the safe side and just heat it up gradually till its hot to the touch and apply more heat if needed while working your way around prying it off.

Yeah for the most part you should be able to do that. Some different region devices will have different antenna setups but that usually is on the plastic covers internally and the sub boards/charger port boards etc. Rarely would there be a difference in the actual frame of the phone antenna wise. So as long as you swap all the components internally from one to the other, should work fine.

hi, sorry no I don't usually keep the devices.

​@@PBKreviewsno problem, was worth asking. Tha ks anyways!

You're welcome

Glass

@@PBKreviews Thank you

Once you disassemble the phone, there are a few screws holding the volume and power button with fingerprint sensor flex assembly to the frame which need to be removed so that can be pulled out and replaced.

@@PBKreviews You're a legend, thank you

You're welcome

I already have a teardown video of it

Really, can you provide link please? @@PBKreviews

Thanks

Not sure but I used a 1.5x25mm Phillips screw driver and works fine with them.

👍

👍 you're welcome

lol

👍

yeah I understand, I just had a lot of people asking for this one so I ended up doing it. I will consider the 5 IV if I find one at a good price.

thermal grizzly paste per your criticisms

👍 just make sure the thermal paste you use isn't highly conductive, since if it gets in places it shouldn't or spills over the sides and touches metal, it can short the board or components.

At the moment I don't have plans for doing that one, its already been done by someone else. But plans might change.

Hi, I'm not sure where the power controller would be. Sorry :(

Not sure what you mean

👍

Will look into it
