to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid disconnecting from the
network or losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully
charging the battery.
13
Getting started

may stop charging.
•
If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a
Samsung Service Centre.
