Porkpie Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Any one got any ideas why this would happen. New phone (bout 6-7 weeks). Not been dropped or banged or anything. Battery was last bout 3-4 days atleast now its dided twice in the past three days and have'nt used phone once. Quote
Porkpie Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 charger seems to work and the battery indicator showed as fully charged Quote
AndyP Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Wireless turned on ? Bluetooth turned on ? Faulty battery, faulty charger, faulty phone .... Quote
Porkpie Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 No point in repacing battery. They bout £40 from the phone shop and i can get the whole phonE for £70. Hate bloody phones. They never seem to last for me! Quote
AndyP Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Depending on the type of battery you may be able to get a new one off eBay for a few £. Quote
mario Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 what make, model is is ? whoever has told you £40 for a phone battery is a robber. Quote
Porkpie Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Its a Samsung. Think it a J700 or something Quote
mario Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 if you can get me the correct model, then i can point you in the right direction this is the j700. is it this one ? Quote
Porkpie Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 very similar but not that one. It aint a U700 either. Can't find it online !!! lol Quote
mario Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 you will need to look at the sticker under the battery for the model. ;) Quote
Uno Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 battery dying out unexpectdly sounds spooky...you better call yvette :mac1: Quote
TranceManDann Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 this one, batteries dying is usually either a dodgey battery or the software on the phone that is corrupted doing thing in the background wasting power without you knowing. either way if its a new handset it will be covered by the warrenty.

Thats the phone. Have a spare battery i just found from the last phone i had. Seems exactly the same. So i'll give that a try. Quote

If you read the small-print, batteries are rarely covered by warranty. You won't get a new handset if the battery is at fault. Quote

You won't get a new handset if the battery is at fault. dont know about other phone companies but if you got it from o2 then it defo is covered, the repair centre we use will replace it if they find a fault. not sure about other networks, i would imagine that they are mostly the same though when it comes to things like that. and if you got it from somewhere like argos/currys but use it on the o2 network then you can still use our repair centre.

TranceManDann Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Not with faulty batteries they won't. like i said, not sure about other networks but o2 they will. i deal with it daily. Quote
