Why can't I have the Samsung Haven replaced without paying for a new phone since the battery needed for this model will not hold a charge more then 24 hrs?

The Haven is my husbands phone and he calls me from work every night and we talk about 15 minutes. He calls my verizon phone so there is no charge but the problem we have is the phone will not stay charged. We took it in and had it tested along with the house charge and the car charge. All three device are fine so they ordered us a new battey. We put that in and the same thing happens. We don't text, receive text, take or send pictures. We have texting blocked so nothing can use up his battery and yet it still dies. Can you please tell me how we can get this phone replaced without buying a new one. The contract isn't up for renewal until Oct. 2013. We have been long time customers of verizon and I feel we should be able to get a product replaced if it is a defective product the company is selling. It seems Verizon knows there is a problem since there have been so many complaint filed in the last 9 months. If we buy something from Home Depot or Lowes and that product is not working right, they replace it and they go back to the companies that supply it. I am willing to bet Samsung would take Verizon,s complaint more seriously then they would an average consummer. Please tell me Verizon is finally listening to their customers.

Hi THerman!
We definitely don't want you having a phone described as a lemon so let's work on getting everything back up to a peachy status. What you've indicated is certainly an issue. So, let's fix this.
First, when it comes to your calls not ringing or registering in your log, my recommendation is to update your phone. To do this, simply dial *228, choose option 2, wait for completion and for your phone to restart itself. This will have it resync with our network for optimal usage. Regarding the battery, personally I like to pull my battery every now and again for up to 60 seconds before reinserting (all while the phone is powered off). If you don't notice improvement, we may need to look into a replacement if life is shortlived below what was described prior.

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149. It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station. It will not hold a charge. What do I need to do?

My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked.. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!

Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

Why can't I get ilife on my ipad without paying when I have it on my macbook?

I have ilife on my macbook and I'm wondering if I can put it on my ipad without paying the individual price for each one.

Because Apple needs to create and maintain the iOS version of it separately. This applies to any product which has both Mac OS X and iOS versions; the developer can require separate payment for both if they so wish.

All of a sudden my new iphone will not hold a charge even when it is not being used and I can't figure out why???

my battery drains even when iphone is not being used. It is a relatively new phone and this battery draining just started and I can't figure out why????

Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

Why can't I download a purchased book via cloud after I got new phone?

I purchased a book in ibook and downloaded it just fine. Couple months later Apple switched my old 4s for a new 4s because it was damaged. I re-installed ibook and synced and the book showed up in purchased items with an icloud sign but when I tried to download it it just said "downloading" but didn't do anything and went back to the icloud sign.

You should be able to. Make sure you are doing it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. If you are and it isn't working, download it to iTunes on your computer and sync it to your phone.

Palm Pre Plus Battery WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE throughout the day!!!!!!

I have been a Palm user for many years and just traded in my Treo for the Pre Plus, what a dissapointment. I am continually looking for a place to charge the phone so I can use it when needed. This is very frustrating. Took it back to Verizon but they were not helpful, they just offered to sell me a car charger at 50% off and let me know that this has been on ongoing porblem with the PRE. I have dimmed the backlight and turned off automatic updates for most applications. Any other suggestions before I trade it in for the DROID.

Battery life on any of the current crop of smartphones will be pretty disappointing especially if you really use the heck out of them. There are some things I can tell you about the Pre, though:
When you first start using it, especially if you add a good number of email, calendar, facebook, etc accounts, it chews through the battery really quickly as its constantly pulling data to populate those accounts on the phone.
Add to this that the radio requires more power the lower the signal wherever you are. You can thank CDMA for that, and the best you can do is try to stay in a strong signal area the first day or two, especially if you're seeing a lot of data use.
The GPS is on by default (or at least it was initially, not sure on the VZ plus devices). TURN THIS OFF (GO to location services app and from the menu make sure its checked off) if you don't use it.
Finally, I don't know the chemistry here, but the first few charges on the battery seem to "condition" it, and you'll see life improve as the first few days and charge cycles are behind you.
Palm has some general tips for maximizing your battery use, too. Find them here:

Someone could assit me on this particular issue?

When you open the application you will have the opportunity to select software update.
You can also go to the App store and check under Purchases and Updates and if the update still does no appear select Store > Check for unfinished downloads.
Having said all that, please do think carefully before you do upgrade. For a great many users the latest version has been a bitter disaapointment (see various other discussions here), as it has lost considerable functionality in the drive to ensure compatitbility with iOS.

Why does my nano not hold a charge?

I have a 1st generation Nano and it will not hold a charge. can anyone help me?

Todd,
Considering that the Nano is a 1G Nano, meaning it's quite a few years old, it's likely that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can choose to have Apple repair it, a third party company, or you can even choose to replace the battery yourself.
However, another thing to consider is whether or not the repair would be worth the cost giving the iPod's age.

Samsung Fascinate Will Not Hold Charge

My Fascinate will not hold a charge longer than about 8 hours. I went to the Verizon store and they said I should get a new battery. I did. It held better for a couple of weeks and now it is worse thatn before. Any ideas?

Hello brookssanford,
Are you still experiencing opportunities with your device holding a charge? If so, I would suggest a factory reset to the device. Since you received a different battery the common denominator would lead towards the device. To do the reset you would navigate to Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset>Reset Phone>Erase Everything. The phone will reset and prompt you to re-activate the phone. Please keep in mind this will erase everything from your device so please back up if desired. Please let me know if this helps. Thank you.
