  1. The new update for jdq39 has made it almost impossible to charge. Two hers. &I’m only at 48%. Is there anything that can be done to correct it?

    1. I’ve heard that if you have Exchange installed, you need to uninstall and re-install that… which resolves the charging issue.

  2. I’m also having issues. Phone is hot, hot, hot and after a full overnight charge, the battery died completely in less than 3 hours, with minimal use. This is a disaster. what can be done?

    1. I ended up having to go back to factory defaults. Was a pain but it took care of the problem I was having with the charger.
