I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon Wireless (SCH-I535). My problem started about two weeks ago. I charge my phone at night. When I would wake up and check it, one of two things would happen.
1. While it was still plugged in it would read 100%, but after being unplugged it would immediately jump down to 50% or so.
2. It won't charge past a certain point, say 35%.
The percentages would vary day to day.
So I decided to take it to the store and see if the could help. They had no idea so they sent me a new phone. I just got it today and I am charging my battery in the new one, as it did not come with its own. I am wonder if it is a fault in my phone or the battery. I would like to keep my old phone if possible and just order a new battery. If anyone has any ideas, they are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Update: It is currently at 80% and has been charging in the new phone for about 2 hours. It was completely dead when I plugged it in.
