Re: Samsung i730 dies while recharging

My Samsung i730 goes through periods (3-4 days) where at the end of a
recharge it "dies". In this case I mean that it is completely unresponsive
and needs a reset. Then it will work fine for days or weeks and then goes
back to several days of having the die on recharge problem. Of course this
is really unacceptable because once I plug it into the charger I never know
if someone calling me is going to get through.

I've tried unplugging the charger, taking the battery out of the phone, and
various other techniques to cause everything in the path to clean themselves
up. But I'm still having the problem.

Any suggestions on next steps?

I had a problem that sounds a bit like yours. My MDA Compact was fine until
I recharged it. During recharging the charge level would go up, and when it
was done I'd take it off the charger. A few minutes later the device would
wake up to tell me the battery was empty and it was running on the backup
battery. Soft resetting a few times would usually (but not always) convince
the battery it was full again. In the end mine turned out to be a faulty
battery, easily diagnosed by borrowing a battery and charger.

Your symptoms aren't quite the same. However if the device is in warranty,
then I'd be asking your supplier to exchange the charger and the battery. If
that isn't feasible then see if you can borrow them.
