I just recently had gotten the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G touch..I've had it for about 3 weeks now. When I had went to get the phone, they knew I was switching over to Sprint from another service. It was about 2 hours before they were gonna close for the night. I asked to get this phone and they said it was currently on back order. I said "oh well i'm leaving in 2 days" I was home visiting for the holidays. They said oh! well we can get it for you by Open Tomorrow! I agreed as long as it wasn't a refurbished phone. They said nope, it'll be brand new in the box. Sure enough they had it the next morning by 10AM. I made sure to ask how long on average it takes to charge a completely drained battery, he specifically said "45-1hr". I've had so many issues with batteries in the past with phones so I had to ask. Well I have tried both charging the completely drained battery, & when it was about 25% full. When it's completely drained it would take about 2 1/2 hours to charge. Today I had plugged it in at 20% at 6:00PM, it is now 10:00PM and it's still NOT done! It's been at 99% for the past hour and has not reached a full charge. Before the last hour it was 92%. This is just crazy. Well over 4 hours, and it's still not done? Is there a chance they lied and it's refurbished even though I just signed on with Sprint onto a contract..which technically isn't legal..right? Please any opinions if you have the same phone would be wonderful. It just seems outrageously long, especially when it wasn't completely drained this time. This morning I unplugged my phone after it fully charged at 10:00 AM, by 1130 it was down to 60% and I didn't touch it all morning! I haven't really touched it since it's been on the charger either. I am not a very hardcore phone user. I don't have live wallpapers on it and the skin I have is dark. So no bright colors. I do not leave apps running when I'm not using them and I always keep the brightness of the screen on the lowest setting.. I've talked on my phone twice today. Only about an hour in total between the two calls..and it was already dead. WHAT GIVES?! I'm frustrated!!
