Hello,
please what does it mean when a very old Samsung Galaxy S smartphone with old battery (7 years old Made in China) says it is charging, yet the battery charging level stays at same low percentage value of 8-9% for 5+ hours?
Phone started today randomly shutting down (power cycling) from time to time (sometimes multiple times in several minutes, sometimes runs for a few hours).
When power is interrupted and connected again, phone makes a sound. But this was not the case (no sound indicating bad power connection), so i assume it was/is not likely disconnection of the power.
I have asked AI at https://you.com and it thinks issue may be:
- bad battery
- bad port connection (i doubt that it is the case since no sound indication of a disconnection)
- software is not accurately detecting the battery level or is not properly communicating with the charging circuitry -> suggests software update or a factory reset
- incompatible charger (not the case)
- extreme temperatures (not the case)
What do you suggest/your opinion please?
