PHOTORECMy phones back and up and running, thank God,
just a quickie (save me opening another thread) whats the best way to "try" and recover a few pictures from the internal storage ?. I thought I'd saved them to sd card before I factory reset it but I mustn't have selected all the media files. I've just conntected to the computer with easeUS data recovery but I can't see were to point the app to my phone. Anyone got any software handy I can use ?
Have you connected your phone with a usb, and does windows see your phone,?I kicked it up but but it only see's my windows HD it doesn't pickup the phones storage location
I fkn hate windows, needs a driver for everything ,Have you got the usb drivers installed on your PC?

I tried everything Baz, older charger the white Samsung ones changed leads galore, from PC a wall usb the lot + loads of cables and gen ones as well. I've always used the charger and cable that came with it from new, boxed sealed. Because it's a foreign Samsung it came with the 2 prong plug so I've used the 13a plug were you unscrew the top and fused and I've tried the straight shaver adapter both didn't work. The same adapter works on the wife's A70 and my sons with no problems so I cannot see it been plugs and chargers. It's as though when I charge it something trips inside the phone then like magic it works for them or their pulling my p*sser so they don't have to part refund. I don't mind paying £20-£30 for them working on the phone no one works for nothing but not £100 if it's not gonna hold out for more than a dayPossibly the Samsung plugs you are using are possibly too high in wattage or not enough power.
Have you tried charging it from a USB port on the tv also try a cheap charger cable for your phone £1 from one below.
It is a strange one for sure bud as it’s same with most devices for example my sons iPad stops charging after an hour on an Amazon lightening cable with genuine apple plug but if I put my genuine apple lightening cable on it fully charges 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
When you get it back I would try without installing any apps or running a backup from your phone just to see if it does it again.So I'm sat down wondering why tf it's randomly stopping charging for me but works for them ?. Then I got thinking, could it be a possible app/software/firmware issue ? or even a battery problem? which if a battery issue would be randomly hard to check on ?.
They've had it for 3 days charging and checking it just to make sure so fair play to them. I got an email late on last night saying they tried it a dozen times over the 3 days, rebooting and charging without a problem.
So this got me thinking about apps and FW as both times I've sent it them it's been factory reset. I don't use any cleaner optimiser apps just the usual.
I don't know if I'm clutching at straws but anyway, I've ordered a new charger from Samsung for £8:50 and I've a few very good quality cables just so I'm doubly sure it's not that.
My old xiaomi used to do that now and again, mostly on this site! But my new one still does it on the odd time, I usually press the square sign at the bottom and toggle back to clearAs above, if it's going to them in a 'factory reset' condition and it's charging ok then it's highly likely to be something you're installing that's causing the issue.
On a related note my screen keeps freezing and won't unlock sometimes, this only started since updating it a month ago.
I've run various cleaners and updates and it's a lot better but for a while I assumed it was finished as it wasn't accepting my unlock code and I couldn't open it, or if I did open it the screen would freeze within a few seconds
I'm gonna install one at a time, there all the usual sh*te BBC Sport , Livescore, Bet365, Fire TV no games or cleaners. I did have CCcleaner but I took that off ages ago.. The only 2 I can think of was a tiktok cracked version and STBEMU other than that most were bog standard PlayStore apps and no games, another thing, do you reckon a dodgy sim or SD card could cause an problem ?.When you get it back I would try without installing any apps or running a backup from your phone just to see if it does it again.
If it didn’t then start by installing an app (or couple) at a time and if starts to do it again then would suggest some bug in the apps your installing was the phone upto date with software updates and security patches
Would be interesting to see if there using genuine charger for that phone or a different one
