Q. Okay so i have a samsung galaxy S2 and i have had for maybe 5 months and it recently started saying that its still charging when really it's not even connected to the charger like OMG! what's going on! Please help!! and also the worst part it that the battery drains like crazy!
A. Try pulling the battery, then put it back in and restart the phone. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset (your provider will help you if you don't know how). That should cure both problems. I think sometimes a conflict occurs in installed applications that causes a partial system crash, weird things like no sound from the speaker, but sound OK on the headphones, fast battery drain problems, GPS not updating position etc.
How can I charge my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket?
Q. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket but the charger port is broken. I need a way to charge my phone. Any ideas?
A. Battery charger rather that phone charger should do the trick. Youd have to remove the battery from phone and the charger will connect to the battery thus bypassing the damaged charging port on your phone. I've seen them before but never used one myself. Check a RadioShack in your area or online. Sorry that's all I can suggest. Good luck !!
Or just as a quick temporary solution to hold you over til you can figure something out you could find someone you know with a galaxy and charge you battery in their phone then just put it back in yours once its done charging.
The battery is always dead on Samsung Galaxy W?
Q. My girlfriend is having a problem with her Samsung Galaxy W. The battery is constantly dying. We even went to the point of buying a new, higher capacity battery for it but it's still dying within a few hours. In the course of three hours it will go from 100% battery down to 20%. Anybody have any ideas about what's going on and how to improve battery life?
A. In addition to what BethyMac said, the biggest battery killer for smartphones is the display. If you look at the battery status tool under Settings, you'll see the bar graph for the display is the lingers of all.
If she's indoors, she needs to keep the screen level lower. Most screens look fine at 50% or less indoors. Outdoors is different, since it's harder to see. There are widgets on the Play Store that you can install (for free, in many cases) that will allow her to toggle the brightness of the screen. Also, in Settings -> Display, she can adjust the brightness and turn on automatic brightness, which will allow the phone to adjust the screen based on the surrounding light.
She should also condition her battery from time to time. Lithium ion batteries have a chip in them that needs to be refreshed on occasion. Run the phone until the battery goes low enough so the phone shuts itself off. The attach the charger and let the phone charge for one hour after the charge indicator says it's full. You might want to have her do this two or three times initially, then once every two weeks after. That should help recondition the battery.
