Just an update - overnight having left the SIM in with a full battery the level had dropped down to about a quarter , which would be acceptable to me as I'm never far from a charger or PC, I can live with 8 to 10 hours (even though my works BB runs for thre or four days on one charge). BUT - sat having my brekkie this morning thinking that I was getting somewhere with this when the screen suddenly came to life all on its own and displayed the boot-up Samsung logo screen and then froze - this is what must have been happening without me noticing (usually through the night) all along, I think the phone needs more than a quarter charge in it or it will crash, at the moment there is nothing on the internal SIM so its probably just the network comms that are running in its standby mode. Its now on charge for another day of leaving it to see at what point it will crash - I'm a persistant bugger, second-guessing what electronics are doing is part of my day job |
