Has anyone run into this? She is still running ICS 4.0.4. Her original battery gave out (swollen, drained very fast, wouldn't charge, and would even occasionally beep repeatedly as if continually plugging it in and out). I bought her a new battery, and when I first put it in, it appeared to have about 55-60% on the screen (powered off, just the big battery gauge). I plugged it in to let it charge to full, and the moment she turned it on, it reported only 19% charge. She turned it off completely again and plugged it in, but it never rose above the smallest bar. I moved the battery to my phone (same model, but I'm running JB), and it seems to be charging OK, but I want to see what happens when I let it charge all the way up and turn it on, just to see if the new battery is actually bad).
I just wonder if her device is simply hosed and needs to be replaced.
