Question

why does the battery drain so fast?

i bought the samsung galaxy ace smartphone on sunday and have charged it fully but it seems that the battery only lasts around 4-5 hours without the use of things such as apps and camera, i also have the GPS and WIFI turned off and the brightness down low? could anybody help with this problem or is anyone experiencing the same problem, thankyou

Unfortunately the battery on a smartphone does not last as long as older phones. However there are applications available in the Android Market to help! I strongly recommend an app called Juice Defender. I can honestly say that it has doubled the interval between charges for me. It works by disabling the data connection when the screen is off, which makes sense because if the screen is off you are not using the phone.
I don't have any affiliation with the makers of Juice Defender, I am just a happy user of the app.

I have had my Galaxy Ace for a couple of weeks. The battery is lasting a day or two before it needs charging. If you look under settings, about phone, battery use, you can see what is running it down. I turn off the Bluetooth and GPS unless I need to use them. When you charge the phone keep charging it until you get a notification that the battery is full, this is some time after the green battery icon on the screen shows full. Check that you have the current android version 2.3.3.

Hi Steve,

On other samsung touch screen phone we need to press the volume up and down to adjust the font size of the text messages, on the galaxy phone there is no option to adjust the font size of the text messages, we can actually download an apps at the market place and look for font that is big enough for us. the pitch to zoom on the galaxy phone can only be used if we are on the mobile internet.

Hi Steve,

The Galaxy Ace uses a pinch and press system. If you place your thumb and index finger on the centre of the screen and spread them it will increase the size.

When you pair the phone with the Bluetooth in the car, check in the notification area at the top left of your phone screen. When I paired my phone there was a message asking if I wanted to share my phone book with the car. When I selected yes, all my contacts and call lists appeared on the car display.

Seems that most network providers advertise this phone as capable of running BBC iplayer. Are they right or wrong!

It's compatible with BBC iplayer, YouTube, BBC News and Sky News, so you can always stay up to date. There's also a video player that supports a wide variety of formats including DivX and XviD.."
