AC Question
Hi everyone,
In recent weeks my battery (Samsung Galaxy S3 mini) has been draining very fast. I tried switching off apps such as Facebook which I don't use, Skype, Google +, S Voice. This made no difference, and I was charging the phone 3 times a day. Then I discovered that 'Talk' didn't work anymore because apparently Google 'could not be found'. I went into the Play store, can't download anything there - can't even do a search for anything. So I tried downloading a software update, and a lot of Apps seem to have been updated, but I have the same problem with Talk - now known as 'Hangouts', where when I try to sign in (I have a Gmail account) it tells me that Google 'could not be found'. And I'm now experiencing even worse problems because the phone will just switch itself off randomly or restart, and even if I had 80% battery before it randomly switches off/restarts, it will then have 'critically low' battery when it comes on again.
Can someone please help me? I can't download anything with the Play store because it can't find Google, I can't sign into 'Hangouts' which used to be 'Talk' and I can't understand why it keeps switching itself off and on again despite seemingly being charged. I tried going to the '3 store' here in Ireland as that is the network I am with and was told that they can't do anything until I finish my contract in 6 months!!!
