Hello I wondering if after say 6 months - 1 year of use if we could replace the battery of the HTC One S somehow because my limited knowledge tells me the battery capacity will be much lower after 6 month - 1 year of use.
Thanks!

I highly doubt you can replace it yourself, the back is one whole peice, I'm gonna say that your gonna have to take it to a retail store so they can replace it for you bcuz I kinda asked the same question at the store and they said to just bring in the phone and we'll replace it for you but im not too sure about that, if you don't mind taking apart your phone to replace a battery you could buy a battery from amazon or eBay and just look up how to tear down the one s but the decision is all yours, its your device.....hopefully this kinda helped you

Lol my bad, maybe he wants to do it him self which I really wouldnt recommend at this point but each user makes his own decision, everyone is different....he may want to do it himself (i wouldn't recommend). Im just putting ideas out there you know whatever he chooses to do is his decision but he should think about the consequences should he choose to do it himself, but hey everyone is different so....think about it b4 you make a decision....

Umm, why not? I've opened my phone several times. The battery looks pretty easy to replace.

Dont quote me on this but I've read while it's not hard to take the back out, the battery appeared to be soldered or some other way permanently attached. Not the battery itself but the wires coming from it. I heard the wires aren't just a clip connection to the board but soldered or some other way

Check this video of One S disasembly out, it may be helpful. Removing the back cover doesn't seem hard at all and the battery is is not soldered, as you can see in the video (somewhere around 3:40 they remove the battery connector).
Lols he's making out that because hes opened the back means it'll be so easy to replace battery leave him to it and in a few months we won't see hik on xda because he does not have a one s anymore lol

Allow me to disagree. It appears to be a very straight forward task. You have to:
1. Remove the two plastic covers
2. Unscrew 4 screws
3. Unplug the old battery and plug in the new one
4. Screw the 4 screws, mentioned in step 2
5. Place back the plastic covers
If that sounds dangerous to you, maybe you are probably right not to do it yourself.
P.S. I do not take any responsibility whatsoever for other people's skills or lack of skills and the potential damage they may cause to their devices

LOL. You're assuming that I don't have the technical skill to take apart a phone because you lack the ability. The One S isn't my first rodeo; the process is straight forward and even a halfwit monkey could do it. If you lack the technical skills of a halfwit monkey than excuse me for my disrespect and I admire your willingness to blend into a social setting with your illness. :good:

Nope, we're lucky enough to get flash memory.
Dr. Rick: not yet. The UK body is not compatible with the US S. It has a different bottom. I'm waiting for the black and red US S before continuing my experiment.
I am looking to see if the One J's battery is compatible with our phone. I'll Frankenstein a larger battery. As it stands I've bought a few extra one s batteries and to keep charged just in case of emergencies. The battery is really easy to replace.

Yup check the video posted in this thread by z3ra7ul, post #7 its a real nice teardown vid
You guys seem to have this pretty well covered but just thought I'd include my experience as well. A few days ago I replaced the damaged housing on my International One S because somebody was interested in buying it but then wasn't interested in my asking price because the warranty was now void..
Anyway, it was super easy. Only difference is that, while the one in the video's lower cover just pops off, mine is double-sided stickied in an elaborate pattern and was rather difficult to remove. The sticky stretches out and needs to be put back into place. It was even more difficult to get it back on properly.. but I finally got it.
But yes, The battery is easy to get at, but I don't remember seeing a connector for it (but I wasn't really looking for it specifically.. just checking things out). So I wonder if the EU version is soldered and the US version is connector?

Do you mean the used some double sided tape?
Basically you just need to pop off the top cover, then the bottom with a case opener, remove a few screws, then CAREFULLY dislodge the case from the rest of the device, be very careful here because if you use too much force the metal will bend! Then you can just use tweezers to pull the battery connector off and you can remove the battery.

I was have the same problem with pictures (gray). I've renamed "DCIM" and "Camera" folders in SDCard for backup it, and pictures now works fine. Maybe you should try it, before do some hardware things .
Good luck! Hope you get it fixed. This thread belongs to the Q&A section, this isn't android development is it?

If you already identified the component and have the necessary equipment (the thinnest solder iron and tweezer that you can find, as well as steady hands), all that's left is a good luck, man.

Just solder them with a fine tip on a 15/30w soldering iron. Done it a few times, SMD components are small, but not impossible. Have something to hold the component down and a magnifying glass will help.

How about this:
Take a piece of copper wire about 1mm in diameter.
Wrap it around the soldering iron end.
Wait until it heats up enough.
Now you have your own micro-soldering iron!

You really shouldn't be playing around with the motherboard if you aren't 100% sure what you're doing. But seeing as you already have, the best bet would be try contacting Samsung and if if they'll fix it under warranty. Just be sure not to say that YOU messed with it. Just put everything back to where it was and make it look like you didn't open it or touch it. I just got mine back from warranty for a faulty motherboard so I know they can replace it easy.
Good luck,

My M8 is being goofy and I need some advice. For some reason the thing keeps randomly kicking over to docking mode, playing my ringtone, and the diskette defaults to speaker which is getting real hard on my hearing.
I tried wiping and restoring to a NAND backup but the issues persist. I'm thinking firmware or radios are the issue.
If im wrong, can someone suggest a fix? If updating the firmware sounds wise, could some kind soul post a link to the latest firmware for the Verizon M8?

You aren't going to like my answer but this problem can be solved by replacing the flex cable inside the phone. I have had to do this for a few phones already. It's a $15 part plus you would be wise to buy the $11 speaker grill stickers to replace the ones you take off as they won't be reasonably reusable.
There are very small ic and smd on this cable that can break loose and cause this exact symptom.

You're right. I don't like that answer a whole lot. Then again, I do like that it can be fixed for a somewhat reasonable price. The phone spends a lot of time on the dashboard of a big rig and the harsh vibration made me wonder if something like that might be the case. Is is the flex cable for the USB port? I'm probably going to take it to a shop and have it done rather than try it myself.

I keep my phone on my body as little as possible. Its real uncomfortable to have a phone this big stuffed in a pants pocket all day and I almost never wear shirts with pockets. Even when I do I don't put the phone in them because its fallen out too many times. I'll probably lay it on a towel up there or something.
Mege-thanks!
I wanted to take a moment to give many thanks and utmost appreciation for the help on this problem. I got the board today and just finished installing it a few minutes ago. It's working like charm! I'm VERY happy!
I am looking to replace my battery on my Nexus 6P, I've abused it in the form of basically charging it all the time, all 8 hours at work, it sat on the charger all day, since I use it heavily. I now know the erro of my ways and I want to repalce the battery.
I've watched videos on how to do it, I know it's not easy, but it is possible. Has anyone here changed it, also where did you get the battery, I've found them anywhere form $10 to $50, I ahve no problem paying more if I know it's an OEM battery.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe someone, but I've not heard of anybody doing it....
Not here either....seems like a terrible time haha Best of luck to you if you try but when my battery life degrades to that point I will be parting with this phone and either buying another one of some sort. Even working with electronics for years there no way I'd personally succeed the first time lol
I have dissassembled my phone to replace random components after falling on it. its not that hard to get apart in my opinion, and its super simple to replace the battery if you can source the battery

Buy extra camera glass pieces. Thats literally the only thing that normally goes wrong if you dont have a real heat gun. Dont thing hair dryers will do the trick unless your extremely patient. I plan on replacing the housing soon.

Haha yeeeeaaah all that GSM crap and all their "nice" phones Good luck if ya try man, you're more adventurous than I!
I've successfully done an internal component swap. Swapped the motherboard and battery from a very beat up N6P into one that was in excellent condition but was basically a paperweight.
The most difficult thing about this project was not getting into the phone, but getting into the phone without leaving any noticeable scratches. Removing the camera glass and the plastic strip at the bottom took at least half an hour of heating and gentle prying. Getting the screen out without a suction cup tool was a bit tricky too, i had to wedge in a chisel x-acto blade and pry it up, lucky no damage was done.
My advice would be to have on hand as many of the tools suggested in the youtube videos and to be patient while do it.

Thinking about doing mine
I've never taken mine apart but if I plan on replacing my battery I will buy the replacement glass piece and bottom plastic piece at the same time. Those are the only pieces that can get damaged in the process.
I just watched that video. from the looks of it, so long as you take your time. and have that suction cup tool, it should be fairly straight forward. at least you are not having to separate the screen itself from the guts to get inside.
Looks like my battery is on its way as well.
Anyone sourced genuine replacement yet?

Why?
I understand the 2 out of 10 rating on iFixit after replacing the back cover on my phone. 90% of the pain is getting to the 6 screws. I don't think it is possible without scratching up the old cover. Funny thing is that I just wanted to change it from silver to black. A heat gun is a definite requirement. Not for the faint at heart for sure.

Hi all...
Could you check one thing for me pls?
Put your OP6 on a hard surface like a study table(mine is made of wood) and charge it. Take off any case etc. Also without any shoes or slippers etc.
Then run your fingers along the sides i.e. along the metal frame while it's charging.
Do you feel like a hint of current/electricity on your fingers?
I feel like the minutest of minute vibration while running my fingers.
But only when it's on a hard surface.
When I hold it in my hands, I don't feel anything.
Please kindly do this test and tell me.
Thank you.
