This is my second major problem with Samsung Glyde. For some reason, its battery stopped to hold charge long enough. Up until 2 weeks ago it was OK; I didn’t have to charge the phone for a few days at least. Now I have to charge it every day or twice a day on some days. I don’t use my cell phone much, so I don’t know why it cannot hold charge. The phone is fairly new, so the battery has to be fairly new also.

I went to a Verizon store to have the battery checked but they didn’t have the equipment to do it. I wanted to buy an extra home charger because I wanted to have one at work and another at home. Well, the store didn’t have it in stock. I thought about buying another battery but batteries are rather expensive. So, I bought a home charger online.

The short battery life is really a problem in an emergency situation. I do have a car charger, so it helps a bit. Samsung Glyde is the first cell phone that I want to replace only after 6 months. I griped about the touch screen problem of this phone here. If you are in the market for a cell phone, I do not recomment this phone.
