Takes forever to charge?

[Anderain]

Does anyone else have an issue with how long it takes to charge? Even when I turn off data and plug it into the wall I only add about 15% of charge per hour to my battery.

I'm having the exact same problem. It's gone up 50% and has been plugged in for 8 hours. Were you having issues while it was plugged into the Samsung charger? (Mine is in another mini-USB charger.)

I had this, except the opposite -- it would un-charge from full, then when it got to 50% it just did an emergency shutdown. I could charge it back up and it would be fine until it fell back down to 50%.

It's a bad battery probably -- I suspect the battery is really two banks of batteries internally, and it electronically switches between them, and one had gone bad.
