Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime: phone battery replacement specs don't match the original- is it safe?

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 22:42:23 -0700

Took my 2017 samsung j3 (sm-j327a) to a repair shop to replace the battery. Original samsung battery specs were nominal voltage 3.8V, 9.88 Wh, charge voltage 4.35V, 2600 mAh. The shop gave me a Duracell CEL11669G which is 3.8V, 8.4Wh, 2200 mAh. Is it safe to use this battery in my phone?

Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime: My J3 Prime doesn't look like the manuals, how do I open it

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 08:17:00 -0700

I have the annoying problem of being told my SD card has been decrypted. Apparently, the only fix is to remove and re-install the SD card: but I can't open the case. All of the manuals and videos and "how to's" say to pry open the case next to the volume controls. My J3 Prime has a rubber case that goes entirely around the phone, with a very fine separation line that goes around the outside. I can't find instructions on how to open this? It definitely says it's a J3 Prime when I start it, and "About Device" says it's a J3 Prime SM-J327T.

Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime: How do I disassemble this without any special tools?

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:54:36 -0700

Hello,

I wanted to take this apart in order to assess some of the water damage it has, and to attempt to salvage it. (it went through a clothes washer)

I don't have any special tools besides a screwdriver kit, I have no way of (safely) heating it up. Is there any way to get it apart without heating it up?

Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime: Where to get a battery for samsung sm-j327a (2017 express prime)

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 23:05:19 -0700

parts shop on here isn't listing a battery for the j327a or any 2017 model. the 2015/2016 battery listed shows a message saying it won't work for the 2017, though the specs make it seem like it could be compatible.

**is it true that the 2015/2015 battery listed in the ifixit parts shop doesn't work with the 2017?

where could I find a reputable/safe/new battery replacement for the j327a 2017?

edit- must ship to usa

It's stuck on Nougat, and I want to be able to do more things on it. Is there a way, without damaging it, to update it past Nougat?
