I'm reading that some people have problems with the battery not fully charging, or draining quickly. Would this be the battery problem or an issue with the Galaxy S III phone? My phone is two months old, battery new with phone, and the phone itself...

I hope that helps. I had the same problem. That is why I ordered the new battery. Battery was fine. It was my 8 month old phone which was still under warranty. Now I am scared so I took out insurance. I know have a spare battery if I ever need it.

my phone came with 2 batteries but I haven't even opened my second one if you go to settings it will tell you what your battery percentage is and I plug mine in at 25% let fully charge and I am good to go another day or two depending on usage. I would assume that this phone uses the same battery as the Galaxy S3 so you could go onto Amazon or Ebay and find what you are looking for.

Yes, it has happened to me as well. It depends on what I am doing. Sometimes if I try and charge while playing certain games the battery still has the warning it is getting low. and then there are the times that it charges. I guess it depends on how much battery use is required for each app that is in use. I found it useful to shut it down and charge while not in use. It seems to charge a lot faster that way.

Maybe partially but I can't even get a full charge on my Galaxy S3. Not worth it especially the 6+ hours it needs to charge up and then not fully charge anything. I returned mine.

I have not incur a problem with the battery. Not sure what was your problem beforehand or how long you have had your phone system. Often I have left one of the phone off the charger for a day or so, or someone in my household unplugs so to use the outlet. I re-plug and it recharges fine. I appreciate knowing customer service is prompt & attentive to your battery issue.

Hi Marie. With my phone I haven't had those kind of issues. The only problem I've faced is that the battery seems to last a lot less now (understandable, given the fact that the cellphone is a little old now) Did you try using another charger, cable or even a computer? If so, and the problem persists, it could be: 1. the battery or 2. the actual port of the phone. For #1 I've seen some batteries not that expensive in Amazon, but again, if the problem is #2 you may want to look for a technician or start searching for another phone. These things are sturdy, but unfortunately, nothing nowadays is designed to last more than 2-3 years. I'm sorry if I can't be more helpful. Bye.

I use a it for a galaxy now and now an S3 and it charges fine. U might want to check it battery if it's old or the power source or adapter it using because from the where the phone docks to the where the power enters its to short to believe there is power loss due to the connection length

The same thing happened when I had mine. When I put the battery in my phone it only was at 80% and would never fully charger. That being said I returned it.

There is a good chance that the current output is not high enough to charge the battery really fast. Additionally, it is better for the battery's longevity to charge it slower. I would have to take out my multimeter to check into it, but my guess is that its good for over night charges and not super fast charges. What I recommend is purchasing a second battery and keep one charged up so you don't have down time. I personally have an S2 and when at conferences, typically pull out that second battery.

Just started to have a problem with charging at four in the morning of course. Tried taking out and putting the battery in, nothing. Got it to work as long as it's plugged in but disconnect it and it died. Just tried the suggestion from Mommy Jane and that little red light kicked on. So grateful. I know we need to get a new battery. Just doesn't hold a charge like it use too. We have had ours for over a year and a half and we like it very much. A few gliches but no real problems.

I have not had any problems with my flash or camera I have the S3 if that has baring on your decision - I have noticed a slight decline in length of charge but still well worth the money and I'm still very happy with the battery!!

My phone is working well with the new battery. I accidently dropped it in the toilet on the way to Lewiston, Id and couldn't get a battery locally. Hope this helps you as I'm not good with electronics. They've passed me by!!

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.

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 also have the Galaxy S3 T999L and the battery works great on it. I have the phone set to battery saver and I have had no problems so far.

I'll try to answer this. If you purchased this new, and it won't stay charged, it's likely a malfunction, but if you bought it used, or second hand, the batteries in these devices are only intended for about 1 year. Also true with any other mobile device. Go on the uniden site and buy a new battery.
