Victory battery issue

Posts: 6FreedomPop Newbie ✭
I just received my Samsung Victory, but it arrived with the battery already inserted and completely drained (presumably from resting on the power button during shipment). I left it charge for a few hours, but the phone only turns on a few minutes before powering off. Would one of the admins be able to help arrange a new battery for me? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to FreedomPopIf moved - it's the battery
If put - something's different about the phones, hardware, or installed apps ?
Thanks Rich for the suggestion. Will also try the battery switch test.
Just shut the phone down at night? No harm no foul? Battery Crisis averted and you use no extra data....Every phone I get, I make it a point to charge before I go to bed at night, and or leave it on the charger. Make sure the charger you have is the type to turn off after the battery when it is charged. I picked up a few on ebay, that came with a battery.
You might even check ebay for a battery bigger than the one you have.Example-I have a few HTC EVO 4G's. The stock battery is only a 1500mah battery. Basic talk and use....6 hours if I'm lucky. I found 3500mah batterys on ebay. My cost 11-14$(came with battery/Case back/rubber case cover/Charger). With the 3500mah battery, I get almost 2 days before I need to charge. If I turn off at night, I get even more.
check this link out...make sure this is the correct model before you purchase...I just typed in Samsung Victory 3400mah battery in the search.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3400mAh-Extended-Slim-Battery-For-Sprint-Samsung-Galaxy-Victory-4G-LTE-SPH-L300-/281431421870?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item41869eb3ae
I just checked--These battery are a little more expensive than the HTC...But I bet there well worth the price...you could probably shop around and find them cheaper.
Hope this helps...

Welcome to FreedomPopNo I only bought the cheap standard batteries. I'm not away from home that often except on the weekends. So hopefully between the extra batteries ($12 for two 2300 mAh batteries and wall charger), the two battery power packs, and charger in the car should provide us enough power backup for our two phones.

Welcome to FreedomPopHi all : We recently got two Samsung Victory phones thru Freedompop and they are mostly working great! However, there is
one of the phones that seems to have come with a defective battery.
One phone charges and operates perfectly, and the other phone works fine, but when charging, the battery never reaches 100%, ever.
You can take the battery out of the phone and put it in the other phone, and then, the same "bad battery" behavior happens in that
phone. We've moved chargers and batteries around and it always
follows the battery. Could someone please arrange for us to get
a good battery for this phone?
Thanks!
mmmooo
I found this one did some experimenting first.
