Will removing the iPhone 4 battery void the warranty?

Yes, YEs, YES.... point out my spelling infraction. You people that boast these insanely ignorant comments often resort to pointing out spelling and grammer mistakes when you have been called out to provide some proof of your nonsense.

Grammar.

The phone was jailbroken prior to this happening so Im afraid if I take it to the Apple store, they will be able to restart it and see that it's jailbroken and therefore void the warranty.

You voided the warranty by Jailbreaking it, which is known to occasionally cause issues.

You brought this on yourself.

People assembling the phones wear gloves for a reason. They have also been able to check for fingerprints at the genius bar.

I thought anybody wearing gloves when servicing any product is to protect static electricity from shorting out the electronics, not to protect against fingerprints?

Anywho, I'm pretty sure they log each time the phone is serviced. So if there is any damage done at all that wouldn't be from wear and tear, then the warranty would be void.

Honestly I don't know why people try and service phones themselves with the RISK of voiding the warranty. There is two (2 options):

1) Drive an hour and a half to the Apple Store, spending $50 to fill up my gas tank, and get it serviced by somebody who knows what they are doing.

or

2) Service it myself, potentially killing it in the process, while also risking a void to the warranty, then spending $500 on a full blown retail replacement because I am still under contract for another 19 months.

I'll take #2

it does NOT void your warranty, if you're careful

I just made an account to help people in the same situation as myself

I recently had an iPhone that for no apparant reason suddenly no longer wanted to boot. It was stuck in an endless loop with an unknown error. What happened was; phone went black, pressed home + power off for 10-20 seconds, no reaction. Let the phone sit untouched for 2 days trying to drain the battery; no go. Tried entering recovery mode; no go. Hooked the phone up to my computer, FINALLY, reaction.. But then the odd thing started. I got no boot screen picture on phone, and itunes picked up the phone for about 2-3 seconds, and then it disconnected from the computer again. It kept looping this about every 5 minutes. Itunes picks it up, then drops it a few seconds later. No idea what was wrong with it.

Anyways, I wanted to see inside the phone if there was anything wrong with the battery, or if there was traces of moist inside it. I took off the battery cover carefully, unscrewed the little cover over battery plug, unhooked battery, inserted new battery (I had one lying), and there was no difference with the new one. Put it all back together again, made sure there was no immediate visual marks in side the phone, and then tightened and put the back cover back on.

After this I saw no other option than to send it to for servicing, and I did so. Surely now, 3 days later, I just received an email stating that my service is finished, and that I can be expecting my new iPhone to be arriving within a day or 2

Opening the phone does NOT void your warranty, IF you do it carefully. Do not leave obvious marks inside the phone.

I do realize this is an aging thread, but it was the first result I found when googling "remove battery cover iphone woid warranty". So I would assume this post will come in handy to anyone else having issues etc.

Good luck on fixing your iPhones people Hope my post can be of help to someone!

It does not void your warranty as long as you don't mess with anything and wipe up all fingerprints when you close it back up. I know this from personal experience. I've opened the cover on iPhones many times just to look at the inside and I've never had an Apple Store (or Apple mail in repair) deny me warranty service.
