I'm planning to replace battery that saw better times and cracked front panel at the same time, but is it actually worth to replace it?
1. Screen on time is pretty bad it's less than 3h (~2h 30mins or 2 full charges/day), rarely it will reach 3h. I simply browse web, listen to music and watch some stuff on YT. Also it can discharge on standby randomly, it will simply get massive battery drain for no reason (which happens more often, but still randomly).
2. The crack on the screen seems to be a bigger issue than I expected. While gray line on top of screen disappeared, it slowly start to crumbling under fingers near hit spot and around bigger cracks. Digitizer wasn't damaged after all so it's just glass on front panel. Is it better to get just glass or entire front panel with digitizer and is it worth to buy and disassemble entire device for these two?
Warranty won't cover physical damaged so if I want to get rid of them I have to make it on my own or pay LG but I don't want to.
I would I need a new battery for mine I get 3 to 3 and half hour mixed usage.but it's cheap and easy to replace parts on this
Changing the battery requires a bit of time since you have to pry the case open and the battery is glued in. I used a hairdryer, carefully, to remove my old battery.
I worked to improve my screen on time, and in two separate tests I got 6.5 - 7 hrs, running video.
Changing just the outer screen is a real pain; it took me quite a while, but ultimately it worked fine. I think I would replace the entire screen assembly, rather than just the outer screen.

So I got this nice (albeit beat-up, but 100% functional) G2 from a friend, and for about 3 weeks it had no problems. I rooted it, put CyanogenMod 7.2 on it, worked fine.
About 3 days ago, it started behaving really weird while I was using it. Interfaces not responding, at times opening things when I didn't have my finger on the screen, usual possessed phone behavior) I did some investigating with the Developer Tools' Pointer Location display, and there's this massive dead-zone on my digitizer! The dead-zone (while holding the phone in landscape) goes from X=255.1 to X=401.1, and covers all the Y-values in that range. if I move my finger slowly enough through the deadzone from one fo the sides of it, it will register as being directly in the center of it. Other times it will show a very light touch on the right side of the zone, activating interface elements and the like.
What happened? Do I have to replace the digitizer? I don't have a warranty on it, seeing as I got it second-hand. Possible fixes, if it's not a serious hardware issue?
I don't have money to spare, so buying things to fix it might take a lot of saving.
EDIT: Got it in the mail finally, replaced it in 45 minutes. I had to use the dorm's heated-air hand-dryer to get it off, and I kinda messed up the glue a bit, but it's working just fine.
If you have to replace the digitizer, I would not worry. I just got done replacing the lcd on my G2, and it works. I bought the lcd (in your case it would be a digitizer) off ebay and my purchased also included the screw drivers and plastic tip thingy to open the phone. For the digitizer you might need to also get double sided tape.
There is a youtube video showing how to take a part and put back the phone. I think the video was like 30min, but when I did it, the time was 1.5hrs totally.
good luck if you go that route.
Previous post is spot on, for most people I would assume this won't be a hard task, I have opened and repaired dozens of g2s (and many other phones) and although sliders tend to be the most complicated its really straight forward
Find a YouTube video or other instructions online and look at it ahead of time to see if its something you feel comfortable with. Then if so, order the digitizer (90% this is the cause 10% the main flex) for around 15-20$ and all you need is a #0 Philips and a t5 torx and a hairdryer/heat gun
You won't need tape as there is more than enough sticky left after prying of the digitizer. Expect about that hour in half if your new to this, but can be done in less than 20 if you do it a lot Here is a link to info on your phone including repair guides

Best of luck!

Aw. Was hoping this wouldn't be the solution.
That sucks. Just went and ordered one, it came with screwdrivers and the prying tool, but I don't have any double-sided tape. Let's hope it's still sticky. Well, it supposedly gets here on the 9th, so I'll read up on replacing from these links. Thanks for the support. Hope I don't break the thing. :/
Hello guys,
I had an accident where I spilled liquid on top of my phone's screen, it was alcohol based, so it got through the bottom speaker and went to the screen layers. After a couple of days of trying to dry it out, there are still terrible looking streaks that look like water damage. I tried using a hair dryer and a suction tool from my car mount for the phone, to remove the screen, but it won't budge. This method worked easy with my old Nexus 5. Some heat, I pull up and it comes right off. With this - I heated as much as I can, and then pulled with all my strength, but screen will not come loose from the frame.
Has anyone removed the screen on their phone, or does anyone have experience in doing such things, to help me pull this off?
I believe that if I manage to remove the screen, and clean the layers, screen should be back to 100%.
I asked a friend of mine to lend me his heat gun, but I am afraid of applying too much heat and killing the LCD, or doing bad things to the plastic body of the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have you checked out the dismantle video on youtube? I believe you have to go through the back.

NO! I know how ti disassemble the phone... What you are posting doesn't even include the screen separation from the frame.
I have been watching videos a lot, but I myself, after following them, am unable to separate screen from frame. And to be fair there is just 1-2 videos out there that actually show people doing that. In one a dude used heat, a suction tool and a precision knife to lift the screen from the frame. I don't think using a metal tool on a heated plastic, to lift a glass is a good idea, especially when the adhesive is so strong. I guess the screen from that video has already been removed, that is why it looked so doable. I bet if I try that, I will f*ck up my pristine frame (phone is 1,5 months old)
You have to go through the back. See link https://youtu.be/Y8XpqwLsrUo
Same problem here, I cannot manage to separate the screen from the frame. Did you manage to remove it?
I broke that damn glass into pieces from the back holes, allowing me to insert a guitar plectrum and finally remove it all. Fixed
Alright guys, I need help. I purchased my device right at the launch day. After a month, I accidentally dropped it badly, and even after it had tempered glass at the time (didn't have bumper) the screen got cracked along with tampered glass. Device was new at the time and I didn't want to spend another 100 bucks for display. And it wasn't that much badly damaged either, so I could live with it.
Fast forwarding to this date, after 2-3 months, the device was lying on the bed. A minute before it was working completely fine, but now it's display is dead! It was just lying there and there was no damage done whatsoever.
LEDs, charging, everything works just as fine, but the display shows some random greenish strips at random places when I press power key to turn it on.
Now, earlier accident was not covered under warranty, but this is definitely not my fault. If I take it to care center, how can I convince them that the screen did not die because of accident and that the accident was 2 months before.
Kind regards
try to heat down and the bottom of the screen. sometimes helps for amoled display if there isn't any visual damage to actual screen under glass.

Like I said, there are 2-3 cracks on screen as well when it was dropped earlier.
Has anyone replaced your battery on tab s2 where you source it?
You can find New Samsung ones on ebay for around 10 English pounds.
Easy job to replace too. Takes around 5 to 10 minutes.
Just loosen the back with a sucker then go round edge with Guitar pick.
Couldn't get back off fully from the Camera, but you can easily get out the battery by flexing the back open gently.
Battery stuck down with a few spots of glue but easily popped out with the guitar pick.
Back popped right back in.... Bit of play on the back so not as water resistant as before. No issue if you use in a case for me.
Beats the 30% wear on the battery after just 14 months.
Forgot to mention, I have the 8 inch version SM-713
I looked around ebay and amazon. Those Chinese man probably selling used ones pretending to be new. Is there any reliable source for really new ones? Thx.
hi anyone here?

Try Amazon. I just replaced the battery in my T713
I’ve replaced mine twice and sent back three or four batteries.
As far as I can tell, it next to impossible to get a good battery and original is completely unattainable.
So far I have never found a decent battery.
I've asked the local Samsung support a few months ago, it cost, in usd, ~$50, so I sold the tablet instead
Anybody who has done the replacement have any issue getting the back cover back on? I broke a couple of the clips off and can't find a replacement back. I'm hesitant to glue the back together in case this battery takes a dump. I am using double sided tape that came with a screen replacement kit but it is still pretty easy to peel the back off.

Is this about the 8" version? The 9.7" version needs to have the screen removed, mid-plate unfastened (16 tiny philips screws, including 2 easy to miss ones w flat-black heads).
I've just replaced my battery, the one that was in there was an OEM Samsung but my screen was glued on w black 4mm tape that covered one of the mid-plate screws, so I dunno if this was the original battery.
I replaced mine because I was getting 'storms' of reboots, thought the battery might be the issue (FWIW, still getting the same reboots post-battery-replacement.)
FWIW, I already had a killer suction cup on hand (from a RAM mount setup), these thin pry/cut tools https://www.fixez.com/categories/repair-tools/pry-tools/qianli-stainless-steel-ultrathin-pry-tool made it easy to get the screen off.
I also had an industrial quality heat gun to soften the glue, but that turned out to be unnecessary (you might need one if you start with your tablet cold)
I just changed the Battery on my T813.
It started to do some odd things, like rebooting even though there was plenty of charge or simply discharging to flat from 100% in a few hours without being used.
I got this from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KSZCDCB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it was a breeze to fit, back cover came of really easily after the initial poke around at one of the top corners (camera end)
No screws to undo, no adhesive, once that corner popped up (using the knife seen in pic 1) it was very easy

undo the connector cable, undo the 4 screws, remove
replacement is the reverse, and pop the case back on
Holds charge better, doesn't run out while using and as yet, no random reboots
In 2023 is it possible to buy brand new battery for SM T813?
Hi, since I got up this morning the screen of my Note 10.1 has a white halo on it.
Do you think it's a hardware fault? New screens sadly cost double what a used note 10.1 would cost, but maybe its just a loose connector?
Its flickering and getting worse the more contrast it has to display.
Anyone have seen something like this before
That must be a mechanical defect. Probably someone sat or laid in the Note. One of the two glass plates or the rear polarizer have been bent in a concave ir convex shape.
Can also be caused by excessive heat, like on the small lcd in my car dashboard, where a similar phenomenon has started to occur more and more often and in a more severe manner recently, caused by sun exposure and the car's heater and disapperaing when cooling down.
Or delamination of the gapless touchscreen. Now there is a gap on the outsides.
Thx for the reply. I have the tablet hanging on the wall, using it as an interface for my home assistant, so the screen is on pretty much 24/7.
Therefore i can't really imagine that there was too much pressure on the screen at any time and heating up could've maybe happened if it locked up during the night, but that hasn't really happend ever and in the morining it was running just normal, except for the screen. The sun can't really get to it either.
Well good thing is the problem fixed itself. The affected area started getting smaller and smaller and the effect also lessend over time. About 2-3 days it took.
Maybe there was some moisture inside it or something idk
Something had snapped or bent from and then back into shape.
I'd suggest that it was heat related, bootlooping while charging,probably.
I could trace such with the history of my battery monitor app(complete with temps and for as long as i set the the range), but the course graph of the system battery monitor could have have provided hints, too. But that's long gone now.
My very first Android device was a tablet, that once too many went into a bootloop. During charging AND during the time of the exploding Galaxy Notes. The whole surface (metal and glass) had the same temperature, no more hotspots, and was almost too hot to touch(50c at least).
I'm not sure whether the screen was discolored, there was only the small boot logo on black, but i immediately threw the thing into the bin outside, display still glowing in the dark.
This is really dangerous when the device is connected to the mains and the surroundings not fire resistant.
In the meantime the battery of my P605 started to blow up.
Middle of backside and even touchscreen are bent outwards.
But the display is still fine, though this kind of malfunction could happen to me later.
Will get a replacement battery. The original one from 2013 still has more than 50% capacity, but is much thicker now...
