I decide to upgrade my cell to Galaxy Nexus this past Sat., the tax free weekend. I was happy with the size and look of the phone. However the battery SUCKS. After fully changed right after I purchased in the afternoon, I woke up the next day in the morning found out it was out of battery. Though I did install some app, that was with the changer plugged, apps shutting down afterward. Then 2 days in a roll, I had the same problem and found out my battery never lasts beyond 7 hrs.That's ridiculous. I mean I've read some reviews about the battery problem but I think mine still doesnot sound right. So I took it to the store today and was told the 6-8 hour is normal and all I should do is purchasing another better battery.
With my trust on the phone and the new battery gone, I decided to switch to Galaxys3. SO, That's how my idea of saving tax ended up with paying for $35 restoration fee and another $33 for the tax!!!!! I am totally disappointed as a customer with them for years. I guess I will go for another wireless company after this 2 yrs contract ends.
did you research the phone before buying it?
if its a known issue, its on the web someplace
how long is your s3 lasting?
did you reserch that one?
I searched but mainly based on my friends' review. My friend told me his Nexus lasts about 8-10 hrs depends calls/msg. In my case, I barely made calls/use apps and that's why I decide to go back. As to S3, my husband currently uses it. It is not bad. Basically full day without charging. But obviously it is more expensive than Nexus.
nexus is like over a year old and there are much better options, return it and get a better phone
