my battery has a 5 hour window! I have never had a phone with such a short battery and that was making 3 calls in the 5 hours! What is making the battery use up so fast? I need it for work till 5 and dont have a car charger cause my lighter doesn;t work. What can I do? I need the phone to work till 5!
i have a galaxy s, and when i make a call i only have 27 sec. before the phone hangs up is there anyway to disable the call timer or extend for more time?
