I have the Galaxy Exhibit ii 4G. Prior to the most recent OTA update it was able to charge both third party as well as Samsung OEM batteries. After the update it no longer charges the 2 third party batteries I own but still is OK with the original Samsung battery. With the 3rd party batteries it gets a disconnect message regardless of whether the phone is turned on or off and regardless of what charger I use. When this happens it will no longer charge these batteries in the phone. These 3rd party batteries charge just fine outside the phone.
From all my tests is seems the charger is fine and the batteries are fine. So I believe there is an incompatibility issue between this latest update and certain 3rd party batteries. There is likely something in the updated battery charger program that is very, very finicky.
The kernel version I now have installed is: 2.6.35.7-perf-T679UVLG3-CL1165714
Samsung's response is simply that they don't support nonSamsung products; i.e. third party batteries. So far no one has given me a reply in the Tmobile forums. So I am still looking for a solution.
Has anyone else found this same problem? Is there a fix for this available? If not, what is the easiest way I can get back to my original build preferably without having to reinstall everything again? Is there a way to just simply uninstall that last update? Also, does resetting a phone back to Factory state relock the phone?
Thanks
