    It's only 9 months old... not using it any differently than a few weeks ago when an overnight charge would last all day at least. .. Now I find I have to do a half charge or more some time in the afternoon. ..

    Anyone else find this. .. Any suggestions?

    GT-I9505 running 4.3....

    Just seen that there might be an update... I don't check for updates very often hence only updating to 4.3 around a month ago...

    also seen that there's been a battery recall on s4's...

    One of the above perhaps...???

    I just got my back today from a repair on battery. Battery becomes swollen for some reason and is a known fault. They said the replacement should give no issues.

    Just spotted that my battery is swollen. I'm raging, because I purchased my phone in October, and by November I was having issues charging my phone. Had to send it off for 'repair' through O2 and that cost me 50 pounds in STERLING! Now I can see what the issue is, the battery is physically distorted. Did anyone encounter problems getting replacement batteries?

    I had no problem getting a replacement battery. Staff member told me straight out it was a swollen battery, sent it off for repair and it was back within the week.
    They also admitted it was a fault and samsung were aware of it.
