Hi there,
I've been having a weird battery issue with my s3 lately
A few days ago I Iet the battery die completely as I didn't have access to a charger. Since then, no matter how long I left it charging, nothing happened at all, the phone didn't even recognize it was connected to a charger. I tried leaving it over night with a few different usb ports and still nothing. I assumed the battery had given up so bought a new one off ebay, connected it and low and behold the phone boots up as normal
Again(foolishly I know!), I let the new battery run down completely and the exact same problem happened again. It's like the battery is so dead, it doesn't have the power to even start the charging process, if that makes any sense.
So now I think it must be a problem with the phone itself as both batteries charged normally when I put them into a friends s3
Can anyone shed any light on what this problem might be? I was looking into buying an external charging device that will charge the dead battery just enough to boot the phone and then let the normal charging process take place. Obviously not ideal but is this the only solution? The phone had been running perfectly until this problem and battery performance was as good as can be expected
Thanks in advance for an suggestions/help
