Hi mate. I know you uploaded this years ago, but just to let you know it's still helping people today! Phone shop quoted £100+ to replace the knackered battery and cracked rear glass on my S7 Edge. I bought the kit on ebay for £15 all-in, and managed to follow you instructions and get it done myself! The only really hard parts were both bits involving glue - getting the back glass off initially, and then getting the battery itself out. Aside from that, plain sailing, and all running as it should. Many thanks!
Thank you! I shattered the back of the phone trying to use the tool that was included with the battery so I will get the tool you recommend and try again soon.
I followed your video and was able to replace the battery on my S7 Edge quite easily. The only problem I had was that taking the back off caused the paint film on inside of lid to disintegrate. I could use the back in its transparent form but was able to get a replacement back in the original colour for only a small amount. Thanks for the video.
Michael Harris 16 minutes ago The most important part of this procedure is how to go about the removal of the actual original battery. It is stuck really firmly in position...do not lever underneath the battery to prise it out. If you do ...you run the real risk of damaging the circuit on the back of screen....this will result in dead pixels at the very least and a completely ruined screen at worst. Slide a piece of STRONG FISHING LINE. under the battery at the top...while someone holds the phone firmly in place on the work surface...You can now in a cheese wire fashion.. use a left to right sawing action to cut through the bond between battery and the screen...working your way down from the top to the bottom. Persevere and take your time doing this even if you need to renew the fishing line a few times. No one who presents this battery change video on RUclips mentions this and its easily the most difficult and destructive part of the whole procedure if it goes wrong.
Thks for the videos, i watch a few other videos , but your seem very details,. Thanks again , but im not going to do ts myself, because i don't think i can be gentle and careful enough.. 😐
I got a G935W8 (Canada) s7. I was wondering which battery exactly I should get? I'm thinking about buying the $12 tool kit but would I also need the double sided adhesive and the back cover adhesive? Ever test the phone after replacement if the phone still maintains some 'waterproof' to it?
+John Carlo Flores Yes I would recommend getting all that. I'm not sure which one exactly will fit your battery I would recommend contacting the seller of the bed are you like best and asking them specifically.
I changed my battery as explained... but after assembling the antenna suddenly doesn't work anymore. I don't have any connectivity. I bought a new antenna. But still it doesn't work anymore. I restarted and resettet the phone and still it doesn't work. What can I do?
great video.. i am thinking of doing this.. my s7 is completely dead. when i plug in the charger all i get is the battery icon with a lightning bolt but it doesn't charge at all. do you think it definitely is the battery that is bad?
My tip is to use a hot water bottle instead of a hair dryer or heat gun. You can control exactly where you warm the phone and you know it won't get too hot.
This is such a headache thank you for this video. on my twelfth screw.. bottom right of the camera at 2:43 PH000 or PH00 didnt work i had to get a PH0 to get it loose. maybe someone else opened this phone before
I’m not sure but it’s pretty straightforward there’s usually a plastic film on both sides so you peel off one side and stick it on the phone all the way around the perimeter. It should make sense right where it goes when you hold in your hand because they should be made specifically for your phone model.
You are amazing! Thank you for your help and the links!
Thank you so much I’m glad it was helpful
!!
Smart Easy DIY Most welcome 😊It definately was!

Wow that’s great! Nicely done! Thanks for letting me know.

Wow so much step to replace the battery for this Samsung! Hopefully I can get it done safely. 😁 thanks for sharing
Yes there are quite a few. Just take your time you’ll be ok. All the best!
Thank you for the video. How will it remain water-resistant?
Thanks. If you replace the seal it should do ok. It may not be quite as perfect as original but shouldn’t be too bad.

Ok I’m glad you got it without spending too much. Nice job!
Easy peasy! Couldn't have done it without this video! Thanks so much!
Awesome! Thanks

Well thanks I’m glad it helped you make a decision at least. Good luck whatever you decide to do
I did it Thank You So Much Very Good Instruction well done
Awesome great job!! 👍 Thanks
Do you need to buy additional adhesive for the back to stick back on?
I would recommend getting new yes that way it retains the water resistant better.
I would make sure everything works first before sticking the back down. Other wise you'll be undoing it all again..
+hellraiser6662 Good idea.
Excellent Video!! Where do I buy a good OEM compatible battery? I've had bad luck on ebay with counterfeit ones sadly.
+MRBADASS EBay is the best place that I found, if you look for OEM original ones I found quite a few.

The best video on the subject. Thanks a lot!
Awesome I’m glad

For just removing the battery why we have to remove all the cables?
great video.. i am thinking of doing this.. my s7 is completely dead. when i plug in the charger all i get is the battery icon with a lightning bolt but it doesn't charge at all. do you think it definitely is the battery that is bad?
+paulieroxx Yeah it sounds like the battery to me.
Did you reset battery cycles after replaced battery ?
No I didn’t. Maybe a good idea.
Thank you. How long did it take?
+Rick M I can't remember exactly may be a half an hour.
My tip is to use a hot water bottle instead of a hair dryer or heat gun. You can control exactly where you warm the phone and you know it won't get too hot.
Interesting I wouldn’t think it would get hot enough. Thanks for sharing the tip.
Also do you lose the water proof ability?
+MRBADASS You can. If you seal it up good with the adhesive I think it's OK but it may not be quite as good as original.
This is such a headache thank you for this video. on my twelfth screw.. bottom right of the camera at 2:43 PH000 or PH00 didnt work i had to get a PH0 to get it loose. maybe someone else opened this phone before
OK no problem I’m glad you got it figured out OK great job!
these phones are way to complicated to remove a sem card or Battery
I used a plastic card to slide behind the battery was way easier
Awesome good improvising!
Thanks this helped me!
Why did they make it such a pain in the butt????
+mydejavooo1 I don't know but it seems like they're getting worse.
So that more people buy new phones instead of just replacing the battery.
I do recomend removing the motherboard. I did not do it and it was extremetly dificult to remove. I also scratched the lining underneth the battery.
Thanks for sharing
Hey I have the edge but mine turns on and doesn’t pass the Samsung logo is it the battery ?
So if i get my S7's battery replaced at a samsung store , will it still be waterproof ?
+Samy_06 If they seal it up good it should be ok. Probably not as perfect as from the factory though.
Does this reset the phone back to factory or is everything going to be as i left it?
No it shouldn’t reset anything.
I'm scared to even try
Khaled Boutamine that's their goal. They want people to buy a new phone instead of a $20 battery
Can you tell me, how much does the original battery weigh? in grams
Thanks! :)
+JayRay00 Sorry I don't have a way of weighing it in grams.
It doesn't have to be grams, I can convert it from pounds/ounces etc
I just did mine and the original s7 edge battery weight is 50.1 grams. Replacement was 48g.
How to get water resistant even after change the battery?
Make sure to use good adhesive to reseal the back cover then that should help.
thanks for the video. good to know.
How much does it cost to replace battery ?
It’s pretty inexpensive. I have a link in the video description below the video where you can find the battery if you wanna check it out.
Should have kept my galaxy S5 gave that to my son was so easy to change the battery from the S5
can we use s7 edge battery inside s6 edge..
+Ghanshyam Paunikar I don't think it'll fit no.
One slight move and CRACK! This is a stupid design.
Where can you get a heat gun?
+MrHjld There should be a link in the video description below the video where you can find one.
It isn't in the link.
it's so dumb the way they designed this
+John Dobransky They sure like to make life difficult.
thanks!
+Brian Teborek You're welcome!
Screen is below battery without protection, if you dont remove battery carefull you will fuq your oled screen.
tnx
+أيوب بجديد You're welcome.
why didnt you show how to put the adhesive on? =/
The battery or the back cover
Smart Easy DIY back cover
I’m not sure but it’s pretty straightforward there’s usually a plastic film on both sides so you peel off one side and stick it on the phone all the way around the perimeter. It should make sense right where it goes when you hold in your hand because they should be made specifically for your phone model.
Didn't the adhesive need to be on the cover not the phone?
Because of this...I will replace phone and it will not be samsun g with this pain in the #### design!
Sadly this is the way most phones are anymore.
