Not sure if this should be on the phones thread, please feel free to tell me if it should...
So I got conned into letting my youngest daughter swap her old Samsung Galaxy SII with my new Galaxy Ace, then a week later realised that there is something wrong with the SII (she scammed me, what can I say, just like her grandfather).
The SII never stays charged overnight even with a new battery thats fully charged, it also locks up during the day and if you are relying on it then you need to keep removing the battery and restarting it every couple of hours, I deleted a load of apps that she had downloaded in the time that she had it and eventually I did a factory reset on it and just installed the apps that I wanted but I suspect that there is something else running in the background chewing up memory and battery (although he task manager shows nothing out of the ordinary).
Just to prove a point I made sure that the battery was fully charged, removed the memory card and removed the SIM then did another factory reset, the phone has stayed on and functioning normally (in that you can select the default apps and browse the screens ok) albeit without any connection to the wide world, for three days now and the battery indicator is still showing full - this is by far the longest time that I have ever seen it keep working.
So, I want to make sure that I really have removed all of the crap - the reset that I did was "Vol up" + "Home" + "switch on" and then select "wipe data/factory reset", it sounds like thats the correct option but is there anything out there that can check to make sure there is nothing lurking in there ready to start consuming power again and are there any obvious apps or default programmes that do this ?
