well guys as the title says i am having battery drain issue with my j7 2016 who's 1 yr local warranty just ended last month.the battery will drop very fast from 30% to 0 %.
so i want to buy a new but "ORIGINAL" battery ,the market z full of copy ones.
I checked saddar rwp singapore plaza connect mobile were offering orignal one for 850rs and as per their statement the same one that comes in the box for last 1200 rs.
but they were silverish grey rather than the bit dark grey one that came with the phone.
i checked samsung store locator and they were also selling original one but for 1800rs .This is the one that came with the phone (EB-BJ710CBE)

This is the samsung store battery (EB-BJ710CBC)

Either get a guarantee from the Samsung store in writing that the battery is legit or go to the M&P service center with your phone and warranty card and buy an original battery from them.

so i bought a new battery from official samsung store . but the issue still remains the same it seems some kind of software thingy that i charge my phone 100% of which first 88% it charges like the normal j7 2016 speed but last 12 % it takes just 5 odd min the same thing happens with other battery too both orignal j7 2016 oem batteries.so as a result it does give a great screen on time around 6 hrs up till 18% then the remaining 18% drops like in 5 min to max 7 odd min.

Open the dialer app, dial *#9900#, scroll to the bottom, click BATTERYSTATS reset and then do a full factory reset on your phone. Do this while the battery is low, around 5 or 10%.

After that when it boots up, before going through the setup wizard, power off the phone.

Connect the charger while the phone is powered off and let it charge to 100% fully. Then boot up and set up the phone as you normally would.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
