Re: Batteries - Page 3

Forgive me if this ends up into a rant.

My Galaxy S2 has started to behave oddly. I could be on the net with it, then put it to sleep and place it on the table. So many minutes later i can not wake it up. I take out the battery, put it back in and on it comes but with, and sometimes, a massive drop in power with a sharp vertical line on the battery usage graph.

I spoke to one of the 02 chat people who advised to get a new battery. So heres my beef. You can not buy a galaxy s2 from a) any 02 store, b) carphonewarehouse. You can buy them at indipendant stores but you will find the price to way higher than 02's £19.99.

So instead of being able to sort the problem quickly, before the phone decides it wont work at all, i have to wait up to 5 days to get one delivered from the 02 online store.

Sorry again but its really wound me up.

At the of the crash you can see the vertical line. Can anyone explain this?

btw current software on my phone is PDA:LP3 / PHONE:LPR / CSC:LP4 (02U) which KIES says is most up to date.

You need to go into your PHONE itself > 'settings' > 'about phone' to find your full current device status. You have no need of Kies and it shows information differently.

I repeat: Learn about your device and all its core features and how to use them and especially power (battery) management. If you can't do that then just get a more basic smart phone.

Hi Jimmy,

I didn't mean anything negative there and I apologize if it came across that way:), It is useful for us to see so that we can raise it with relevant teams to see if there is anything we can do.

Cheers, Toby
