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

https://photos.app.goo.gl/7SKB88y8QPBGWtrF8
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 guys,
I have just broken my Dinc2's glass screen. The underlying LCD screen is still functional and the touch screen works. So, I am guessing that I only broke the glass on the top of the screen... I uploaded pics to make it clear.
The casing near the USB port got bent some time back when I went kayaking... And I think that is where the screen cracked significantly when I dropped the phone.
I can still use the touchscreen and there are no discoloration on the LCD. So, can you guys suggest to me what Screen replacement product I need to buy online and (preferably) give me a link for said product and a How to repair guide. Plus, is this process easy? As in if I spend a few hours carefully following the steps to repair, will I succeed?? Moreover, can I replace the metal casing as well?
Thanks for the help gang! I really need to get my phone back to 100% working condition as I don't have an upgrade available till April '13 and I have cancelled my phone's insurance recently!

I just replaced my digitizer for $11 on eBay.
It's an HTC one too (no "Verizon" branding, just "HTC".
It's for an Incredible S, came out of SoCal.
EDIT:
Here's the Digitizer

So I have dust under my screen even though my phone is completely original and never been dropped. Do you think it's worth taking apart, cleaning out, and replacing the adhesive? How long do you think it would take, and what is the likelihood of doing more damage to the phone?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057OO9OC
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EXHR1Q
I should have probably waited for more replies, like yours, here to get a better product link. Anyway, I guess I bought all the needed parts. I hope I get good quality material and I can get going with the repair... Do you think that they are good? The digitizer and tools didn't ship yet, so I can try and cancel and buy the one from ebay...
I actually just finished doing this a few hours ago. It does take some time to do it but if you have patience you can do it
You have to remove the LCD to remove the digitizer, so you will have all the parts out of the body of the phone. It is easier if you replace the body because it comes with new adhesive already perfectly cut and installed. If you reuse the old one you will have to scrape all the old adhesive off, then cut new adhesive. They are also available in red/silver/black so you can change colors.

When you say replacing the body, are you referring to the front housing/bezel? That is this: http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-droid-incredible-2-front-housing-bezel-replacement.html
If so, where did you buy it, as I want a reliable and reasonably priced product online. Thanks a lot for the help, btw!

That is what I was referring to as the body, since all the parts attach to it. I actually got an entire new housing, came with the bezel, the middle part, and a new battery cover since my battery cover was beat up and I was changing colors. The middle part I didn't need but it was cheaper to buy all 3 parts than just 2.
I got it on ebay. The Incredible 2 and the Incredible S housing parts are interchangeable. I ended up getting S parts because they were cheaper. Most of the ebay sellers are in China so shipping takes 1-2 weeks depending on the seller. Repairsuniverse is good if you want it fast, I ordered from them once and got the part in 2 days.
Parts arrived. Links to tutorials PLEASE!

Thanks, captain obvious!
I wanted to know if there is a detailed how to. Anyway, managed to take it apart. All guides end at taking it apart and say, "well, now you know how to dissemble it, just go in reverse and assemble it. Well. I wish they don't do that and show me through the reverse just to avoid mistakes. I remember having to redo IKEA furniture due to missing a few parts. Don't wanna do this messy procedure and realize I forgot a button or worst still putting the screen on!
Anyway, I am a grad student with a bachelors in Engineering... I should be ashamed if I can't do this! :silly:
repairsuniverse has a guide on youtube for replacing the digitizer. I found it easy to follow. Only difference is when you put it back together put the parts in the new body. You will also have to pull the speaker out of the old body and put it in the new. It is held in by glue, heat it with a hairdryer/heatgun and it comes out pretty easily. You might need to use some new adhesive on the speaker, I was able to pull the old adhesive out of the body in one piece using a hairdryer and some tweezers.

I am 100% done with the repair. But there are a few issues. The Vibrator motor seems to be not working. Then, the Digitizer I bought doesn't have a hole for the front facing camera! That is not a major setback as I rarely use it and I have a tablet and a PC to skype chat with... But it is sad that a feature is missing.
The big issue is the vibrator not working. I didn't mangle it and put it back in place as I am supposed to. Finally, I have 1 or 2 small dust particles under the screen and that is ok. I couldn't remove all the dust and it is a miracle I managed to get it that clean. Finally I seem to have a slight green tint/screen bleed at top left corner. I didn't have that before and I didn't distort the LCD while replacing. Is it due to a smudge on the LCD there? I suppose it is a minor issue and not something that will amplify as I have a Transformer prime that has screen bleeds and it is apparently because the screws are too tight.. So may be I tightened something too much? Anyway, if it doesn't deteriorate I am ok, as it is a very, very minor problem.
So, bottom line: Main problems > (1) No FFC (due to improper digitizer) -> I don't intend to fix it. (2) Vibrator motor not working.
Can someone help me with 2?
I fricking fixed it! I have WORK to do and I spent about 4 hrs fixing my phone!!! I'm kinda screwed for tomorrow! At least now my phone works...
That is odd it didn't have a spot for the front camera. I replaced my digitizer and it has a clear spot for it but it is not even close to centered. It actually looks like it would obstruct the camera but it doesn't. If you take it apart again for some reason you can scrape the black off the back so it is clear. However, it is very hard to do that and make it look decent.
Getting it perfect with no dust between the lcd and digitizer is very very hard to do. The first phone I did I actually took it apart again because there not only was dust but smudges on the other side of the digitizer. As for the bleeding I wouldn't think you could cause it from pressure in the inc2 because the lcd and digitizer are just held on the front by adhesive. The LCD has adhesive around the entire edge of it, I don't know if that also blocks light from the edges but if it does and there is a little bit missing maybe it is the cause.

The following are the images of my fixed and "pimped" Dinc2.

Is the two tone color combination looking sweet, or should I change the back to red as well? I have a spare black back cover. If anyone has a spare red back cover, I can trade!
Plus, the "smudge/screen bleed" at the top left edge is seen in this pic:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/illeve11tomyrtw/2012-09-25 00.54.23.jpg (The black spot on the middle of the left side is a dust spec!)
Close up: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ys4r2e6xmxfhnh/2012-09-25 00.54.48.jpg
Is the smudge bad? I think it is just a smudge on the LCD and not a damage to the LCD right? In that case, I am cool, as I most likely will cause other smudges if I attempt to redo it anyway. Plus, I am kinda bummed out about the lack of FFC, but I hardly use it and the whole process of removing the screen is SOOO tedious (and I don't have a heat gun, so had to put my phone a feet above a gas burner! ) and it was so painful and stomach wrenching to safely remove the LCD/digitizer that I don't wish to do it again to repair the FFC...
So, what do ya say?
I think the two tone looks good since the red phones have all black accents. I thought it was weird that the speaker on the red phone is silver, while all the other accents are black.
There seems to be a problem with the adhesive. The digitizer is raised by about 1 millimeter at the top while it is attached better at the bottom. I think it is because I had an additional horizontal strip of adhesive at the bottom to attach the digitizer to both the LCD and the buttons firmly while I didn't put such a horizontal strip at the top as I didn't see one when I dissembled it. If I put pressure on the digitizer for a while, it sets back in place for about half a day. Is this a serious problem? I don't feel like dissembling again.

I just broke my screen and im looking to go the same route. This is a good phone to have as a back up after i get my upgrade and i dont want to get rid of it.
Anyway, did you need all those parts to successfully change your screen? I thought if you bought a new housing you would not need the adhesive tape?
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

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. :/
I was wondering what role the back cover of the note 4 is for?
Mostly asking because I might have ruined it when I was trying to put this stupid carbon fiber skin on it -_-;; Why did I think using a hair dryer would be okay... *face desk On the bright side, I'm pretty sure I exposed only the back cover to heat and not the phone itself lol d: If I did I'm dumb and don't deserve this phone >->
Anyways, I think I've accidentally ruined the back cover of my droid inc4g and the phone just never worked the same after x_x The signal sucked and the battery stopped holding a charge... x: I'm using an s-cover case on my note 4 at the moment, but still curious in case I ever decide to use something else for protection s:
nope
Samsung even makes a flip cover case where you remove the back completely, you don't have to worry about the cover.
However, if there was any damage to the phone itself, but they take some pretty good heat.
I live in SoCal and left it a couple times in my car and it was like 107 outside, so!
Check out ebay. You can get all kinds of back replacement plates at good deals.
Eve b customized ones if you prefer

Probably should let this thread die but...
What is this part of the back cover for? Never really found out I think.. or I just have bad memory :silly:
107? I live I Phoenix and just going outside exposes the phone to 117+ on a regular basis. Heck I have even mistakenly left my phone in the car before and it gets 160+ easy in there. I bet it will be ok
Hi all,
i'm very disappointed because i'm just breaking my screen when my zenfone fall of 60cm.
LCD is ok but screen is dead
On ebay i know you can find only the screen with kit, and LCD + screen
Does any one have advice for replacing the screen or screen + lcd? (video or pictures).
Asus France ask me 180€ to change that
thank for your help...

I ordered a screen replacement on AliExpress. I've only cracked the glass on my phone, but I don't think it's possible to replace the glass on its own. (Unless you have the hands of a neurosurgeon and special equipment.)
Tried changing screen today, but it requires a complete disassemble of the unit. I managed to remove the back and disconnect the components, however I wasn't able to remove the battery since it seems to be glued (?) in place on one side. I even tried using quite a bit of force, but eventually I chickened out since the battery started bending. I have no idea how they do it so easily in the video. If anyone here has managed this disassemble I'd be very interested in getting some details.

Try using a hair dryer on the battery for a minute, but keep moving the hair dryer up and down, to spread the heat all over, this should make the glue soft enough to make it easier to peel the battery off.
Finally managed to replace the screen. This one was really difficult to repair compared to the previous phones I've worked on, but maybe in part because there are no complete instructions out there yet. Lots of glue and tape holding it all together.
The battery isn't really glued, but rather held down by some sticky plastic. (Kinda like chewing gum.) I don't think heating will help here. I used a long, flat plastic object to reach underneath and loosen it from the battery.
I forgot to take pictures, but here are the steps I took. You can find some photos for the first half of the procedure.
Remove 14 screws from the back cover
Carefully remove back plastic cover (double sided tape on center)
Unplug the three connectors going to the top PCB/SoC (these are screen, SIM/SD and battery)
Remove speaker (black piece at the bottom, nothing is holding it in place)
Remove bottom PCB: flip up the little black switch to loosen the connector cable next to the battery, then unplug the wire going to the top PCB, then you can remove it. Vibrator piece doesn't need to be unplugged.
Battery can now be removed, but is as mentioned fastened very well. Try to pull it up on the left side to reach under it.
Unplug digitizer connector on the left side of the top PCB. Just peel off the yellow take and pull it out.
Peel loose the part of the metallic shielding that fastened the top PCB to the surface under where the battery was.
Top PCB can now be removed, start from right side.
Peel off the little "sticker" the digitizer connector goes to. This is probably part of what you're replacing, so it doesn't matter if you destroy it in the process. Otherwise try heating it.
Screen can finally be removed. It's removed from the front of the phone, same as for Zenfone 5. Start at the bottom. It's fastened with glue along all sides. If you're hoping not to ruin the LCD while removing the screen you will probably need a heat gun and extreme patience.

Screen can finally be removed. It's removed from the front of the phone, same as for Zenfone 5. Start at the bottom. It's fastened with glue along all sides. If you're hoping not to ruin the LCD while removing the screen you will probably need a heat gun and extreme patience.

Just cracked my phone. :crying:Thanks for the instructions. Before I decide to do this, are any of the adhesives necessary to put the phone back together?
Yes, order some double-tape for cellphones.
Glad I'm not the only one that succeded althought I scrapped the battery in my case .
I followed mostly the same steps but for anyone that want some pictures, I posted them in another thread

Can asus ze550ml screen will fit to ze550kl model
@Ptselv: probably best to start a new thread rather than hijack one that is several months old.
And to answer your question: No, a ZE550ML screen will not fit a ZE550KL phone. My suggestion: search AliExpress.com for "ze551kl digitizer" and you'll be likely to find what you need.
has anybody ordered and replaced the LCD screen on this phone?
i managed to crack mine after some month of abuse. anybody recommend an lcd screen assembly from ebay?
Yes. I have replaced a few as I work in a mobile phone repair shop.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post eBay links here but anyway here it is:

The client actually bring the screen for me to replace his broken screen, came with screen and frame pre-assembled like this. While I have ordered one for a similar model for the Huawei Ascend G8 a few times it's pretty simple and hassle free when you buy it pre-assembled like that.
I could buy without frame but you get the hassle of adding adhesive manually which comes with the risk of the screen either not sitting on properly or pushing up because the adhesive was too weak or not applied properly. I've done a few G8's with and without frame, worked pretty well in my experience.
Note that the huawei P9 has two pentalobe screws on the bottom like the iPhones do and you will need to take the sim card / sd card tray out before opening it up. The whole metal back cover pretty much unclips from the screen frame. Do check iFixit disassembly guides on how to do so. Most of it is unplugging cables and unclipping stuff, the battery is a bit tricky the adhesive is usually strong for them. You gotta pull the battery adhesive tab if there is one and most likely the battery will still be stuck to the housing even with it removed because there is even more adhesive that is separate from that tab (pry carefully if you intend to do so of course, LCD cable runs under the battery if I remember correctly).
You can also buy cheaper from here but the quality as you can see is quite lower: http://www.eddogo.com/lcd-display-t...-with-frame-for-huawei-p9-eva-al00-black.html
As always make sure to match it up with model number.
