Android Central Question

how to get a battery out; overcharged to heat and bubble i can guess.
The back button does not work any long with extra pressure from the battery. The bottom piece comes out but battery does not. It appears its a one piece frame and the top glass does not separate from the case; that is also one piece. A way to suck out the battery; somehow. Anyone surely must have this problem before.
yes poor frame design; Should be two piece to remove the back also.
Magnet on the battery; Special tool to slip in; super thin to yank it out ?
Now I have to use app's to turn off display and restart/ shut down the phone. Lucky there !

A "bubbled battery?" That sounds like it's swollen, which can be dangerous to handle.

Personally, I would take it to a repair shop and let them handle it. If you start poking and prodding it, you could puncture the battery and cause a fire.

I agree. A bubbled battery truly sounds dangerous. Do not attempt to tamper with it, and do not leave your phone unattended. Please keep us posted on what happens.
