villarule123 Posted November 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think my S3 is dying The battery only charged to 50% in 7 hours overnight, and in the space of half an hour it's gone from 34% to 22% without me even touching the phone. Even me typing this message has used up 4%. Think I'll stay away from Samsung in the future if this is the case, not to mention the phone is weak with how easily my screen cracked. 7 months left on my contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted November 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2013 Good thing you can replace both the battery and the chargers then It's probably one of them at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both fobbed off with the same excuse. My N4? No issues at all. Makes me very excite for N5. Edited November 2, 2013 by dodgyknees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2013 How much is it to replace battery? Im pretty sure it's not the charger as I'm having the problems whilst it's not on charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can't decide whether to go for an N5 now or wait. I reckon my S3 is worth around £200 and plummeting, is the N5 £100 better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure it's not the charger as I'm having the problems whilst it's not on charge Double the preformace 9 quid And do a full factory reset as well in case there some rouge app stirring shit up. Don't forget to backup Edited November 2, 2013 by Tegis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted November 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2013 Non amazon looks to be in the 15-20 quid range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 2, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2013 My black 16GB N5 ha been prepped for dispatch. As it's parcelfarce I wonder which random will get my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Mine was loaded on the van in Birmingham at 11.29 this morning so looks like a Monday delivery now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Mine still says pending. Think you'll do well to get £150 for an s3, that'd what I'm expecting anyway. You can get a brand new one for £230 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted November 2, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2013 I suspect like mine that when you track it, it hasn't been collected by parcelfarce yet. It'll probably be collected on Monday and delivered Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm due an upgrade and the Nexus 5 is currently winning as my next phone. I went into Carphone Warhouse yesterday to have a play, and the videos on YouTube seemed to stutter/be choppy when playing. After doing a bit of research, it seems like quite a few people are suffering similar issues on a variety of Android phones. It definitely wasn't the connection as it was happening at the start when 2/3 of the video had been downloaded. This would be my first Android phone so I'm just wondering if you guys have experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah I've had that when its an embedded video on a site like VT or eurogamer, watching it in YouTube itself seems to resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was happening in the YouTube app. Do you watch videos through the app, or the web browser? It would be connection related. Ignore what it says about how much it has buffered. Either the WiFi connection or bandwidth/connection quality was poor. Also ignore for the most part what you find on the web for who has had what problem. Everyone has different issues due to varying environmental factors or faults or apps installed etc. Would it really be likely that Google would allow a major part of their platform in YouTube to not work correctly on another major part of their platform in Android? It would piss all the employees off enough to fix it themselves for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
