Samsung phones are crap. Last week, my sister was complaining that her battery keeps dying on her Samsung phone, always causing her grief. She got stuck in the countryside because her phone died and the address she was going to was in the phone. She finally found a gas station in the remote area, and the attendant put a charge on her phone enough to get the address. She complained later, and again another day to me about her phone. I told her to buy an Apple iPhone and to trash the Samsung.
Finally, I met up with her and gave her two portable battery packs, a car charger and a wall AC adapter, and told her not to bother me again about her Samsung phone. Sheesh, Samsung owners are idiots.
Yes my mother has owned iPhones given to her by work, and changed jobs and decided to go cheap and got a Samsung phone... now all she does is complain about it, never gets her text messages etc etc...
I gently remind her she didn’t have these problems with she had an iPhone, to which she responds its not that bad... we have this conversation weekly or so and have now for nearly a year.
I don’t even bother trying to contact her by text any longer because she never gets the messages...
I don’t care if you own an android phone or an iPhone, but the people I have to deal with who are systemically complaining about their phones all own androids... period.
For the past few years nearly everyone in our family have used Samsung phones almost exclusively on Sprint and T-Mobile MVNOs. They have mostly been purchased used. Most of them are S3s that are several years old and still going strong. I currently am using an S5 and my wife has an S4. None of these phones have given any of us any problems.
My wife prefers using an external charger and she pops a fresh battery in the phone when she gets a low charge warning. I haven't timed her but it seems to take her around 30 seconds. And then her phone is magically ready for another couple days of use. The batteries generally cost around $5 on Amazon.
I guess because you do not have the option of popping a fresh battery in your iPhone you never though that instead of giving your sister “two portable battery packs, a car charger and a wall AC adapter”... you could have just given her an extra battery.
Of course when I am using my phone for battery intensive activities in the car such as Google Maps and at the same time playing Pandora music through Bluetooth on the stereo, I keep it plugged into a car charger. That is called “common sense” something your sister apparently does not poses.
