Most importantly make sure the phone is fully paid off and ALWAYS check to see in the settings-general-about under carrier lock and make sure it says “no sim restrictions” next to it to make sure the phone is fully unlocked. Most likely 100% of the time when you see this it’s fully paid off and not on a payment plan because carriers will not unlock your phone unless it’s full paid off. Other than that these tips are awesome and I always check like this when buying a used phone.
When it comes to battery, I would actually do the contrary, the lower the battery health is, the better, that could potentially mean that seller has nothing to hide and hasn't "pimped" his phone before selling. Battery swap is cheap and it's better to do it yourself (or take to trusted repair shop) than rely on the phone's seller.
How to check if the phone is repaired or not. Or if some parts are cheap after market. Thanks love your videos. You are helping a lot of people really needed someone like you.
I usually compare the phones max brightness with my parents or siblings iPhones which are original and you can easily spot the difference between a fake display and a real one
I’ve bought phones from people in the past cause usually they are cheaper than getting them at a store but this time i was lucky enough to buy from a store and i’m grateful and thankful for that, cause you never know with buying a used phone from a person what can happen. The phone may have some issues that the person didn’t tell you about or something might be wrong who knows
6 Steps 01:05 Check Exterior (Charging Port,Camera, Buttons) 01:31 Activate the phone (Check iCloud, Face Id and Touch Id) 01:55 Sim Ejector (Check Network Connectivity) 02:14 Make a call (Check Mic, Earpiece and Speaker) 02:31 Check Touch and Flashlight 02:57 Check Camera's while recording and switch.
1:30 if you need to activate on the spot before buying, how long would this take? Because it would be kinda awkward to buy the phone and then waiting for it activate xD
When checking the battery you don't want to just look at the health because sometimes it is inaccurate. What you want to do is check the battery Maximum FCC (max capacity the battery had when produced ) and Nominal Charge Capacity ( current battery capacity). Convert the ratio of them into a percentage and that will give you the true battery capacity
Very nice. For practical purposes I'd love to see repairs of the Google pixel line, but for entertainment I'd love to see some of the more innovative companies like OnePlus, and what remains of LG.
I got a used iPhone 12 at a phone store and i checked the phone and it was in mint condition, battery condition 100%. But i understand if you buy from a person and not a store making sure the phone is legit and in good condition is something people should do
Hey phone repair guru it's me fayyaz from India Mumbai and I do really like to watch your videos and it's really amazing to see you repair the phones as its looks like its being made new in factory I would love to work with you and learn phone repairs as you do so that even I can be the phone repair guru like you keep up the good work in India phone repairs Suck
always ask a video of them going to settings general and showing the IMEI so you can check on apples website about it question it and then further inspect it in person easy as that
I just got a iphone xs max for 100 bucks. small crack on the back and a small crack on the front! I will try to repair the front and sell it for the current market price here in sweden which is about 300 bucks
Thank you gor your guide! Actually I thought to watch this kind of video after only buying the iPhone, and later discovering the scratches, as I was told it has screen shield, which was a scam. Hopefully all other features work normally
Well in practise i see here that Many dont charge right maybe test before is a good Idea and looking if it is Just dirt or charge flex damage Im from the Netherlands BTW And had a lot of help using your video's thank you 😄
Nice videos man keep it up great going and i have a question if I get a phone like the xs for around 150 bucks with face Id not working should I get it or its a no no?
If you don't use it then maybe it's fine, but personally I wouldn't buy it if it doesn't have face id because it means that the phone has been broken/repaired in the past.
Hi, i have an iphone 7 that's stuck on activation(no service), i did some google and found out it could be either blacklisted or an infamous network ic issue... Is there a way(jailbreak) to fix this?
He i got an iPhone 5 an 6. 5 needs a lot of work 6 just needs a battery to be unlocked we're can i find the link to now we're to send it to get back to me please. Dope videos btw Man
I wondered if my own 8 Plus bought brand new passes all the tests, and luckily the only "problem" is the battery at 77% condition, still happy with it though, I prefer keeping the original water seal and stick with the old battery, although the lack of power is starting to show
Hey! Live your vids so I just got a phone today from a place called cex is nationwide to the uk and very popular I recently brought a b grade iPhone 11 and audio seems to be muffled any fix?
My dad had a black 7 plus and the battery health was 76% but it was a hand me down from my brother so we know the phone had no problems and nothing sketchy was going on
Please make a video about any complex phone's teardown(for ex. Samsung A70) and after teardow how to remember which screw was where and how to fix the parts of the phone back in the same place where it was. Pls
@@PhoneRepairGuru its just my personal preference, it doesnt really take me long to login, i prefer just to be able to test everything with a simple pass fail and not have to worry about anything slipping though.
if apple care status: No, black list status: clean. and Find my iphone: off. is it okay to buy it. and how peoples locked there phone after sold it on facebook marketplace. does they claim it or not if they claim, how to prevent this thing before we bought second hand phone
The beginning kinda reminds me of mrwhosetheboss. It's not a complain tho!
Yeah, you’re absolutely right!
Yeah yea, I watch like both
The „Dont worry, i got you“ reminded me of Money Talks Wireless ^^

EXACTLY. Most important thing
Good point
I didn't know about that.
When it comes to battery, I would actually do the contrary, the lower the battery health is, the better, that could potentially mean that seller has nothing to hide and hasn't "pimped" his phone before selling. Battery swap is cheap and it's better to do it yourself (or take to trusted repair shop) than rely on the phone's seller.
Depends on the age of the phone, and if you are willing to pay for a battery replacement! Good input though:)
I guess you both have a valid point.
if its 8 years old with 99% then sure it might be pimped but if its high and only 2 months old then…
the downside is you lose water resistance when swapping battery
Will be buying a used iPhone next week. This video reminded me of the important things to remember and consider. Thanks 😁
Helped this non techie check that marketplace phone like a BOSS! Thank you!
A few steps of these I didn’t even consider, this is very helpful, thank you
You're welcome!
I've never bought a brand new smartphone yet Alhamdulillah all of the used phones I purchased performed flawlessly

Haha same. But tomorrow starting now
"Don't worry I got you " reminds me of Money talks wireless 😂

Best youtuber ever keep it up ❤️❤️

Yep the best

Hi! Cool that you made this channel.
(I have a felling i have a lucky day today. Only good stuff happened.)
Then you will have a lucky day!
@@prgrepairtutorials I think. The week was bad, but this day made it better. It will be over soon (for me atleast) though...
Since your video was so on point, I'm subscribing
When checking the battery you don't want to just look at the health because sometimes it is inaccurate. What you want to do is check the battery Maximum FCC (max capacity the battery had when produced ) and Nominal Charge Capacity ( current battery capacity). Convert the ratio of them into a percentage and that will give you the true battery capacity
Also you can find those in analytics data under the last log aggregated file if Im correct
Question, if it is inaccurate then by how many?
@@chatterperson1803 there are tools that can rewrite the battery health percentage like how a bad person would rewrite the mileage of a car
How do you check the battery’s max FCC?
Nice, checking the charging port would be good too.
Very nice. For practical purposes I'd love to see repairs of the Google pixel line, but for entertainment I'd love to see some of the more innovative companies like OnePlus, and what remains of LG.
wdym “innovative” oneplus just copies others and doesn’t innovate at all.
Yeah my Pixel 3 needs some work, I'd love to see some tutorials about fixing issues with more than just 🍎 products

I got a used iPhone 12 at a phone store and i checked the phone and it was in mint condition, battery condition 100%. But i understand if you buy from a person and not a store making sure the phone is legit and in good condition is something people should do

Wow this is a amazing video
What if the battery percentage got programmed with Qianlee Device? Don't we need to check 3utools for replaced parts?
Can’t stop watching it
Is it also safe to buy an iPhone from your phone carrier like AT&T. Verizon. T-Mobile. And Sprint?
Yeah but this video mostly applies to iphone 13 and below, what about newer iphone like 14, how do we test the esim to see if it actually works
How to know they changed some interior or some screws inside are missing?
You forgot true tone🗿🗿

the app phone diagnostics does all of this especially touch with visual indicators. a lot easier to just get the app. appreciate the vid though.
Nah not really, you’d have to log into your iCloud account, then download the app. These steps really don’t take ling

Hi 👋 huge fan if you have time please upload more on your other channels 😊
Doesn’t work to do all this if the phone has been reset. Unless you’re going to go through set up. Which idk if a seller is gonna allow.
what about checking the IMEI for bad status?
You should go to the settings and see if it really is the iphone you are buying like if it is a x os xs or 11 etc.. they can be modded phones
I change you to do a full repair with in iPhone 5
Hello watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
Wanna ask that how do you check for IME number online 🙏
What about testing if the phone has original parts
I think checking the IMEI to see if it's stolen, I heard. Not sure how you can tell if the camera is a low tech fake, etc.
Can you make an updated version of this video?
Please man, I want to see more videos over here 🙏
just posted one :)
how do u check that they dont still owe money on it or something like that
