No issue charging battery. I purchased extra batteries with external charger. Touch screen works great!:) Very Happy with this camera.

No problem with the battery, t.s. works fine for a resistive Screen, Not good as an capacitive one.

Yes. I am pretty sure you can get extra batteries. If you are considering this camera, go ahead and check out the samsung galaxy 4g w android. By far in my opinion worth the extra $ and reasonable on cellular plan using verizon share plan. I have both.

The same thing happened with me. Thankfully, I was able to get another charger and it'll charge it it's sitting a certain way. I cannot text or even touch the phone while it's charging, though.

I had the same problem. The reality is it isn't a very good tablet. You buy a 99 dollar tablet...you get a 99 dollar tablet. I had mine for 5 months and it stopped taking a charge. I learned my lesson.

I got the replacement battery from Amazon, works alright, but have found that the batteries on this phone don't last much more than a day. Not sure if is a battery issue or phone issue.

I love my Samsung Galaxy S3. on the other reviews to Amazon, the service is great, they call you back if you have question and they only charge when items are shipped. I order a lot from Amazon and never had a problem.

Hello Mark, I did get the battery and it worked well with extending the talk and idle time without re-charging. I did however have trouble with placing the cover on my phone. I could not seem to get it to totally close. I tried to get used to it but I have taken the battery out of my phone and put in the original battery and cover back on. Check and see if they have made an improvement to the cover for a better fit.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

I am having the same issue. It worked for a few days and now it seems as if it will not charge my phone at all, it shuts itself off? Anyone else find the problem or a fix to this? Thanks.

For me, it doesn't look like it takes excessive time charging comparable to the original one that came with the phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). Maybe yours is defective. I suggest contacting the seller.

Thanks, Todd. I went for it and found a refurbished one for less than $75 over the cost of a new s1300. I'm sure it will be worth it.

The battery is very poor. If I watch youtube videos for 30 min the charge is about 20% from 100% charged. Since the beginning I have had charging issues as well. I would recommend returning if you can. Here is link I was sent about the tablet: http://www.mymidpad.com/FAQ.html

I myself am having problems concerning battery life on my phone. My new battery purchase did not solve my problem. My phone is due for an upgrade so who knows. Sorry I could be of no postive help. Can tell you though that battery life when phone was new was excellent. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure the battery changed from the 3 to the 5. I have the S3 and this works wonderfully but when I went into a retailer he told me that you have to be very specific about your Samsung model #. I wouldn't chance it.

Well better the first week. but since I saw the question I decided to test again before answering. So I had the battery fully charged before going to work. A few hours later, I watched a 1:43min movie that was 1080 and it got to 14% batt. by the ending of the credits. My suggestion is to turn off wifi when not using due to apps updating info/status wasting battery power. Hope it helps. I would buy another thats how happy I'm with it. Just realize its not a samsung or samsung price

I cannot say what is wrong with yours...but I just tested mine. The extra battery charged fine in the cradle portion of the device. I then attached a USB charging cable from the USB port to my phone and it also showed a charging current. So mine does appear to be working properly. Try a different cable from the USB port, and if it is not providing any power "out", then I suspect your item may be defective.
