Received mine last week. Battery only lasts 6min max on full charge. Have reset &amp; tried different SDs to no avail. Is my device defective?

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off? It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged. Try it out...it may make some different.

I don't know about your particular problem but I received a bad battery. The phone would show 5% and charging and after a few minutes would say it was fully charged but the phone would not boot up. I returned the bad battery and ordered another one from the same vendor. The new battery worked fine. Not sure if this is any help but wanted to share my experience.

Hey Bev, sorry i bought this battery! There is only about 45 minutes of battery life so i basically have to keep it plugged in all the time. This is the second replacement battery I have bought. Next time I'll go back to Best Buy and spend more money. Nope not a Samsung battery.

It's not the battery. Your memory card is full. Delete the pictures and try again. You'd be amazed how quickly kids can go through 300 photos. Mine did in less than an hour.

I have had nothing but trouble with battery life on this "monster". I received it as a Christmas present, charged the battery for at least 3 hours initially, then used it for an hour or so. When I tried to use it again the next day, the battery was so low the device would not boot up. Recharged it to 100% capacity, closed it down to sleep mode, tried to use it again after about 24 hours. The battery was again completely discharged. This has happened 3 times. Who wants a device that you have to charge for 3 hours EVERY 24 hours in order to use it 6 - 8 hours?? I don't recommend anyone buying this item!

I bought mine a month ago and when I put it in my galaxy s3 it started charging right off. Suggest you might have a bad battery. Good luck, I'm quite happy with my new battery.

Hi there! Sorry for the late answer :)Please watch this review where everything is explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QigDxFWdPKoDid you put in the battery's? Maybe the ones that have been delivered aren't good anymore, we had the same problem and replaced them with new ones.Greetings

Sounds like possibly a faulty battery. Have you tried sticking a straight ion into the little reset hole? Sometimes that works. Also, did you charge it for the recommended time before the first use?

I have the same issue. Not sure what is going on. Tried full charge with no load. Only time I would have 100 percent is when the charger is hooked up.

Mine still charged but wouldn't power up. Had to send it in for replacement. Make sure to back up all your pictures on a regular basis! Luckily, I did that.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

I have the SD700 and I am looking to upgrade to the 850 or something similar. Both seem to have the same battery indicator issue. It would be really nice for them to include an indicator but, alas, no. So what I do with the 700 is 1) have a second battery. I rarely need it but it is good to have on vacations and other high use periods. 2) The battery will last for WEEKS when I am not using it to often, so when its convenient I throw it in the charger. It usually takes less than an hour to come to a full charge. Good luck!

The SD card has to be formatted. If it still says SD full, then more than likely the card is bad. I had that happen to one of my cards. A new card fixed it. Thanks, Jim
