    Hi guys, thought i'd through this out here as theirs a whole bunch of technical genius's on here :cool:


    In the space of the last week, my mobile phone and my iPod have developed the same problem - the battery won't keep any charge. Both connect to my PC to transfer songs or to put into speakers and play music and show that it's charging but I could leave it in until the moon turned blue and it would just say low battery when I removed it. I have tried charging them both on different machines and using different wires so that's not the problem, just strange how this has happened to both of them within a week. My Samsung was saying Charging paused as battery temperature too hot/cold, but I have no idea what that even means.


    Any help would be appreciated, cheers!


    (The phone is Samsung Pixon 12 and it's the iPod touch 1st generation) Phones a year old, iPod is 3 in January.

    Sorry to tell you this mate but with lithium ion battery's they shit out quick. Your best bet is just to replace them. Albeit, you could try buying one of those instant battery chargers. If that doesnt work then its time to replace your battery's.

    I think you are just extremely unlucky and probably received bad and handicapped devices when you bought them.

    So yeah I would listen to Mr Carlson.
