Hello guys. I wasn't sure where to post this but my dad owns a galaxy s plus.
If he charges it ovenright, it's empty in the matter of minutes. It randomly reboots as well.
It is stock, non rooted and hasn't been tampered with. We still have warranty. My idea is that the battery could be dead, but I've seen several cases on the internet of this. Would it be wise to turn it in for warranty or can should I try a new battery?
I once had the same problems and it was because my battery was dead. AFAIK this is not a case of warranty, but you can try sendibg it to Samsung. Maybe you're lucky.

Hey guys
I have a mate whose SGS i9000T will no longer turn on, it is about 5 months old, battery is fine and just died while the screen was off, was not even being used. The last app used was browser. Can't get into Recovery or download modes and the backlight doesn't even register while the AC is plugged in.
Any suggestions would be great or is this a hardware fault? which too me it sounds like
Theirs two possible reasons for this bud....1, custom firmware incorrectly flashed. 2, hardware. I had the same problem and I had to send mine off to Samsung, if you blame the damage on Kies, say after the update it wouldn't turn on they will fix it for free.

Cheers for the reply,
The only things applied were a lag fix that was weeks ago though so i doubt that is the problem, sounds like hardware problem then

No custom kernel or anything? And it just died? Does he tend to drop his phone a lot?

In that case I'd put it down to hardware bud! Are you in the UK? as we have dozens of Samsung service centres, just blame it on Kies if I were you, say after the update it wouldn't turn back on, and they'll fix it for nothing bud

Sounds defective. How long have you had it? I've had mine since release week and haven't experienced those issues once. I'm rooted, but still on factory stock.
May want to return it for another

Suprisingly still hvg that flickering screen at 2% after changing new batt ( original ).

yes the screen flickers at <3%.. i have seen it in 3 notes... so i guess it happens
Usually this happen when the battery isn't original.
Its happened to me with fake battery. No problem with stock one.
I think battery issues could be case. Many nowadays including myself

it could happen with any battery if quality is not good or diminished. I think so at least Check your battery, does it look out of shape?
You could try a friends battery, or an alternative rom could also be another issue.
You can also experiment with the power saving features to turn them of.
Uninstall if any, power saving apps/ screenfilter apps.

Doesn't the warranty on batteries last for 12 months ? Why not get Samsung to replace it if it fails withing that time frame.
Then again, For the price of one, Is it worth all the aggro of sending it to Samsung, Waiting, Waiting some more, Then having it sent back ?
They do go pretty cheap online, And the Anker 5000mah are worth considering (except the size increase)

As they're classed as consumables I believe warranty on batteries is only 6 months, but I think it would be great if we could somehow make samsung aware of how short the battery life is on these, maybe some sort of petition.

hey guyz i woke up today and i held my note and it was boiling up like fire i couldnt hold it so i quickly took out the battery and let it cool down then after when i try to put the battery back in im having trouble getting it in its like the bettery is bigger than its supposed to be !!!
plz tell me what is the problem and how can i fix it ??/
If the battery is swollen up you need to change the battery

Obviously the battery is faulty. Is it a genuine Samsung one or one of those cheap Chinese knock-offs ?. Dont use the battery again or you may destroy your phone next time.

yes its the official battery that came with the note
i will go to samsung to buy a new one !!
thank u all for the help
don't know how but these official Samsung note batteries don't last more than a year
Mines still okay after a year #touch wood#, i think it depends on your usage.

Hey guys,
I replaced my battery with a new Samsung battery for note and it seems to be working fine. But at times, or may be every time i put my phone on charge, it heats up a lot and doesn't charge at all, when i notice, i unplug it, switch it off and charge again and it works.
Any idea what is going wrong? This never happened with the battery. Also this new battery takes almost 4 hours to get fully charged.

Does the problem come after replacing the battery? If yes try to ask samsung
Hope it help
