Q. I've been looking for a replacement charger online and Samsung sells them so expensively!! I have a Samsung Galaxy S II T989 (for T-mobile) and I read on a website that bad chargers not from the manufacturer or OEM can actually hurt/ruin your phone. However, it never explained how or why. Anyone know the reason or what can happen using a "bad charger"?
Here's the website that I got the info from: http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/cell-phone-chargers.htm
A. It's not that big of a deal. They just want to sell their chargers because they make a huge margin on them. They get the chargers for 2 bucks and sell them for 30. Look up the standard usb amperage on the internet and get a cheap charger that is close or the same. If your phone gets hot or charges too fast, the charger is too powerful.
How to properly charge mobile phone? *Best answer*?
Q. So, I just got a new samsung galaxy S, and just wanted to know whether your pattern of charging the battery really matters or not. I had another samsung for a year, which I just charged whenever I thought of it. I have the feeling now that the battery of the previous samsung is less durable than it was (after only a year).
So I want to know, what is the best thing to do? Is it necessary to let the battery drain almost completely before you charge it, does it matter whether I stop the charging before the battery hits 100%, does it matter if I just plug it in the computer for an hour to upload files on it (plugging it in the USB also makes the phone charge the battery)?
Only answer if you really KNOW the answer, not if you 'heard it from someone', because more rumours don't help me out.
Thanks
A. First battery charge should be done as directed in the manual.
Swapping out the OEM battery for an Extended Life battery is always a good option, especially if the battery does not need a battery door swap, for one that sticks out.
No need to let the battery die completely, before charging, charge as you feel you need to. A partially charged battery can be topped off when ever you want to, during your commute in the car when using GPS, at work, especially when making a lot of calls using bluetooth, are always a good times to top off or use AC.
The newer batteries and phones, have circuitry to prevent over charging, so once the battery is charged, it's not going to harm the battery or the phone to leave it plugged in, unless you are using a charger not made for the phone (then all bets are off). Same voltage, but higher amps can damage the phone and the battery. Same voltage but lower amperage will/may charge the battery slower, or possibly not at all if charging a dead battery.
Help with phone? (Battery)?
Q. I would fully charge it but my phone would die in 30-45 should I get a new battery? I already tried setting my phone to facory settings but nothing changed. Any suggestions?
A. I would just try a new battery they are cheap i have two for my Samsung galaxy Fascinate since it drains battery's so flipping fast. Amazon is a great site to buy something like this. Mine only cost 4 dollars and the charger for the separate battery was only 3. 7 dollars is completely worth a full day of phone charge spring for OEM its a lot cheaper they are the same as brand new just not in the original box. Good luck and God Bless!
