permanently I mean. Its an old Nokia and been very slow to receive texts lately. Friends phone is either switched off or broke but know its been slow lately and probably on its way out. Is that what happens when battery abut to go, with texts not being delivered etc. Can’t get in touch with friend to ask.
How can you tell if a mobile phone battery is about to die?
- No trackbacks yet.

Hi i wouldnt have thought it was your battery it could either be your network provider is having problems hence the taking of the time to get through or it could actually be time for you to upgrade to a newer model of phone! but then if your friends phone is not on or broke then obviously your texts wont get through cant you text somebody else to see if its the network or phone ? …. hope this helps

it depends on type of phone, there is a big difference between how a nokia battery and sony ericsson dies. if your battery is not charging or never gets fully charged then your battery is about to die. texts not being delivered, call your provider customer service, they either send you settings or shows you how to change its settings. it has nothing to do with your battery.

The voltage on digital devices is typically very well regulated, so a drop in power shouldn’t have any affect on the functionality of the phone.
So regarding low battery, it will either work, or not work, there isn’t a middle ground. If the phone is slow to receive/send texts, it’s either the network, bad antenna, or something else that is wrong with the phone, but very unlikely to be because of the battery.
The best sign of a weak battery is that it doesn’t hold charge very well, meaning that after you fully charge it, it doesn’t last very long.
