S7 Bloated battery

[AizenSousuke]

Anyone has this problem before?

Samsung plaza sing asking for $100 (shld be water proof back)
Ah beng shop asking for $60
DIY (ebay) $18~
Cost of new phone (xm 5 plus) $270~

Should I just get a xm or just DIY or just get it fix by 'professionals'?


What do people normally do?

If the phone have no other problem and u can resist the urge to change phone, I would replace the battery at Samsung for 100.

S7's performance is still pretty good and the camera is right among the top few. Don't think xm redmi series can compare yet.

Ah beng battery is cheong one. Not lasting.

I just DIY. Follow YouTube. Get a battery and also a back cover in case. I'm not sure can get water proof because I did not put in water. Its pretty easy. Get original battery by reading reviews but OEM back cover.

Yeap waiting for my battery... I didn't purchase back cover. Back cover meaning the outside one or the one covering the battery? I think the one covering the batt would be deformed due to the buldge.

Ofc not waterproof anymore...

actually i suggest go back samsung do. $100 change battery. sometimes out of good will they will change the frame cos it is glued together. somemore got warranty. 3rd party anything happen, no warranty. further more the specs for s7 is better than redmi note 5

5 plus = note 5?

i know the risks... but I'll take it as a learning point.

had sorta a similar problem with my s7 flat. apparently started with me dropping it screen down. outside no visible damage but then the next day battery drain overnight plus constantly hot. charging with phone off also damn hot till back cover detached.

sent to samsung sc at plaza sing and they quote me 300 to change batt + motherboard (for wad sia). refused to pay since it was out of warranty and cost also higher than trade in value. decided to go to 3rd party shop see if can replace battery and now still working perfectly. 55 bucks and probably waterproofing gone case but whatever la.

Personally, would DIY. You could bring it to those mobile shops for them to replace it on the spot for you.

By the way, do you usually leave your mobile phone plugged in (charging) for long periods of time?
