I currently have a galaxy S3 thats starting to lose power quickly and freeze up.

I am at the end of my contract in a few months and can upgrade in May, so how much would it cost to pay the contract up now?

Monthly cost is £25 inc Vat


cheers for any ideas

    Quite possibly £25 multiplied by months remaining. Vodafone would let you know though.
  • Might be worth spending a tenner on a new battery

    Factory reset the S3 .
    You can use your network contract sim in any unlocked phone .
    You can sell your S3 its not in contract .

    Worth trying - back up contacts/photos etc first though, but it worked for me with my S3

    Are you sure its genuine? Lots of fake batteries out there.

    Look at your battery info. Whats using all the power? Got GPS and maps running? Phone tracking software running?
