my sgs2 seems to have a buggered battery. it's been misbehaving for a week or so now.
it started off with it being on around 50% battery left, then because i'm often in a bad signal patch, i restart my phone to see if it improves and then my battery is on 10%.
but recently it's been worse. yesterday i charged my phone and in the morning it was on 100%. i unplugged it and used the radio through a shox speaker for about 15min then went browsing the net for a bit while "doin some business" and then it just died.
i switched it on and it was on 5% battery, then it died again. plugged it in to charge and switched it on and suddenly it was 65%. it charged full and then i went to visit my mom where it died again. 15min later it was on and i had 60% battery left and it was fine for the day.
i took a screenshot of my battery graph, because it shows the battery actually gained life while on standby. also, i don't know if i'm imagining it, but the battery looks slightly swolen.
i'll buy a new battery because i reckon this one has lost it's marbles.could it have been killed by the energiser charger cable we got from work for our dingleberries? just cable plugged in without charging my phone beeps and says charging stopped because voltage too high.
(screenshot coming soon)
