@lgsp @iFixit @right2repair I might have to go this route because Ubreakifix put me on a waiting list for the alleged free battery replacement and I never heard back. I usually have to charge 2-3x/day depending on usage, which is very annoying. There's literally nothing else wrong with this phone and I could see myself using it for a couple more years at least but not with the battery crippled.
I bought the ifixit kit, worked great! First time repairing a glued phone, so I was a bit nervous, but with their guide and the kit it went smoothly. Took about an evening, and now by battery is better then when I first bought my phone.
Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
