Same is with me.

[PoPo]

Mine just stopped working. Firstly, it won't lock manually. Then it locked itself and won't unlock. Took out the battery, now it won't turn on Goodbye Samsung

[godspeed4476]

wanna buy mine ?
OK, i have not timed the charge time yet, but it takes longer to charge than the iPhone 4. However, its battery life is also higher than i4

What horrible things did you do to it ??
try the Format method..
you know how, don't you ??
Don't you worry, these phones are never bricked so cheer up and try that format routine.

It's working again, I guess it might be a firmware issue. It shows low battery and turned off and I'm charging now. Strange, it didn't show low battery on the HOME Let's get it charged and I will report.

Whats the difference between normal screen guards and these shields? dont these take away the feel of the phone, also whats the difference between zagg and bestskinsever?

Sorry for too many questions but i have never used such shields and will like to get detailed info from you

I am just trying to get the extra one sold

NO, this is not a firmware issue PoPo..
if the phone discharges completely and shuts down then you wil have to charge it to a certain level and it will start again..
so no need to worry..

Normal screeh guards are not god to feel, leave residue on the glasses and are a pain to take off..
these bestskinsever ones are so nice to feel, they do take away some of the glossy and smothness of the phone but they add a little tack to the touch and gliding, so it feels more natural.. and easier to control..
as for the difference between these and the Zagg.. I think having used both, I can safely say that these are better.. cheaper and more wrinkle free..

Why I'm saying it's a software issue as the HOME screen didn't notify me of any low battery, the battery was like 70% full and the POWER / LOCK button wouldn't work. Now, it's working though But the phone should show low battery naa ?

[ManISinJpr ♦]

There is no warning, but what you can do is, make a systematic schedule of charging it !!
the top notification bar shows the battery icon.
use the settings to use the battery saver function.. it is quite effective,
also when your phone stopped responding, was it charged ??
what happened there??
did you try after taking out the battery and then inserting it again and then powering it on !!
