Galaxy S23 Ultra: Broken battery pull tab; Safe ways to pry out battery?

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 01:32:22 -0700

I tried replacing the battery using the iFixit kit (without isopropyl alcohol). Whilst trying to pull out the old battery, the blue pull tab snapped, and I’m a bit hesitant to use a prying tool.

I’ve closed everything back up for now and will buy a bottle of isopropyl alcohol.

Could I get some tips on prying out the battery safely without damaging it?

Samsung Galaxy A52: My Phone won't charge and I don't know what to do

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 17:25:23 -0700

So my Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G won't charge as of ~45 minutes ago; it was at ~25% back then. I've already tried using other Cables and Restarting it and whatnot, but now I'm down to 14% and I'm getting kind of desperate.

In the months leading up to tonight, it used to get really really hot while charging, to the point where I had to unplug it every 40-50 percent or so out of fear that it would get too hot and, I don't know, explode or something.

I've also chosen to delay any Software Updates the phone would try to push on me, for the last 1-2 years? Maybe?? I don't remember??? Could it maybe have something to do with that? And it says that the Update can only be done at like +20%, so I'm kind of screwed anyways.

So I guess tomorrow I'll head into town to see if they have some sort of wireless charging thing for Samsung. If that fails, I guess I'll try cleaning the charging port (I have this irrational fear of getting electrocuted whilst doing so but I'll do anything for my camera roll), and if that too leads nowhere, then I guess I'll buy another Model of the exact same phone and Frankenstein the Motherboard into the new phone (I am NOT going to try to remove the memory chip thing, no siree).

...Are there any other things I could try? Ones that, perhaps, involve less emergency invasive surgery on my phone? But as I've said before, I'll try anything at this point.

Thanks for reading.

Samsung Galaxy S21: iFixid battery last less then the old one!

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 14:46:43 -0700

Hello, I did not find how to contact the support so will write here my question. I bought a battery replacement kit for my samsung s21. It's a great phone but the battery after 5 years star to drain really fast.

I changed the battery following the instructions and everything went smooth. The phone works good. The battery got calibrated.

My problem is that this new battery last even less or in best case as long as the old one! How this is possible. A couple of years ago my phone lasted for more then a day. Now with the new battery, as with the old one before replacement, it last half day if i don't use it much.

How this is possible? Did i get a defective component? Can i ask a refund or a replacement?

Best regards

Max

I have a problem with the A51. Only the Samsung start screen is still displayed. No matter with which key combination I restart it, it only comes up to the Samsung screen. It can also not be switched off. The A51 simply starts again and it gets stuck in the start screen.
