Minty boost problem
by Hockey30 » Tue Oct 23, 2012 3:25 pm
I have a Samsung exhibit II phone and when i plug it in it vibrates and tells me it is charging. The screen does not remain on though. I was excited with my success but i looked at it two hours later and it remained at 32% for two hours. This was the same exact percentage as when i started. I was surprised it didn't even go up one percent. What can be the issue? Do i need a bigger battery?

Did you turn the phone of while charging? Many phones disable power management when they detect an attached charger.

There is a big difference in performance between different types of AA batteries.
