    I have a lovely Galaxy S4, got it in the last days of August, very happy with it.
    Until now anyway.
    The other day it decides to switch off with 40% battery power still indicated.
    And so it has been for the last few days.
    Googled it and find this is a common flaw affecting 3 in 10 S4's out there, a battery issue.
    Samsung recommend going to a Samsung Service Centre for a replacement battery, except there doesn't appear to be one in this country.
    Not only that, but Meteor want to send my phone off for a week or two, while they probably will wipe my phone, restore everything, then put a new battery in.
    So, what's the deal?
    Anyone else have this nonsense with the handset?
