My one year old Samsung Galaxy Note 1 started to exhibit some strange behavior last few months.
When I use some camera applications or such other applications, suddenly the phone's screen starts to flicker resulting in the phone getting switched off.
When I switch on the phone, battery mostly shows 1% charge.This was very strange as before getting switched-off, there were instances were I had more than 80% charge in the phone.
If I again restart the phone, the phone shows 60% or so charge.It was very odd.
After the flickering and switch-off issue because very frequent, I searched in net and found that many had experienced this problem.
I faced another issue, my 32GB SD Card became read-only.Nothing could be saved in it.Seems because of the frequent switch-off while the card was in use, the card got corrupted.
When I checked my phone battery,I noted that it had slight bulge.So I decided to buy a new battery.
Went to Lulu Mall, Kochi and purchased a new battery.Rs.1599.With the new battery the flickering and switch-off issue is resolved now.
I also had to purchase a new 32GB SD Card.Rs.1500/-.
So I guess if any body else has this issue, a new battery is the only solution..
Check the battery, if there is even a slight bulge, replace the battery with out much delay.A faulty battery can even explode.So please be careful.
After some analysis, I found out the possible reason why my phone battery became faulty within a year.
Most days before going to sleep, my phone charge will be almost getting finished.So I used to plug-in my phone before going to sleep.So the phone was in charge mode the entire night, resulting in over charging and the battery getting corrupted.
Now I understood that this should never be done - once the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger.Also, once charged, better to recharge only after atleast only 20 to 25% charge is remaining.
