Battery health

[muiz6849]

Battery health dah keluar warning.. Tapi bateri tahan lagi.. Tak drain.. Patut tukar atau hold dulu? 

Update: Samsung Galaxy S20

Update 18/9: Rupanya ada artikel pasal battery status ni bug.. Kalau nk cek btol kena tekan *#0228# pastu tgk (0-8), kalau bawah dari tu baru kena tukar..

Tak urgent sgt tapi saya recommend utk plan tukar dlm masa terdekat. Just risau battery kembung & mungkin akan menyebabkan kerosakan pada component lain (display terangkat, ribbon display terganggu, kebakaran / letupan kecil, dan lain lain). 

Saya tgk Screen-on time tu 2 jam sahaja, bila guna dia cepat turun eh?

Kt graf tu yg slop dia curam skit tgh guna.. Kalau on navigation + spotify boleh tahan 6 jam cmtu..

How old is your phone already?

[muiz6849]

Bought it used last month.. But usually an S20 should be aged 2 years above..

Maybe you can try out your luck from Samsung service center and see whether they can exchange a new one for you or not because your phone is just like 1 month old. No harm to ask. Try call them or chat with them.

If not mistaken, the original battery cost is like around RM 160 - 200

** labour cost is like RM60 - 85 and service charge is RM 30 (not included in the battery cost)

Here is their contact page in case you need it:

I bought it from regular store.. Not samsung..

Regular phone store still consider under Samsung because end of the day you still  need to register through Samsung during your purchase. Either they do it for you or you do it. Meaning you still eligible to go to Samsung service center. Don't worry to ask them, you still can contact them for sure.

Btw, you still can go to other branded repair shop to replace the battery with a cheaper price too.

For myself, i won't do that because i tried some of those shop before and ended up..... It is all about trust. Whether they are professional or not, well...

The choice is with you.

I think I get a replacement from a nearby store.. Taking it to authorised service centre is difficult considering the place is far away and I don't have other phone to use if I need to leave the phone..

FYI, please note that if you go for an unauthorized repair shop, Samsung will consider you void the warranty due to the changes made, modify or replace by others which is not directly from Samsung official. Meaning you might have trouble if you want to claim anything like warranty, repair, etc directly from Samsung Malaysia in future.
