My Galaxy S4 decided to melt its usb port in a car charger about a year ago. Since then, I've bought a couple of extra batteries (much cheaper than expected) and a couple of external chargers. Whenever I get around to upgrading and get a phone with a working charge port, I expect I'll continue my current practice. I'd much rather throw a spare battery that's little bigger than a credit card in my pocket than faff around with usb cabling or hope I make it through the day. Also the external chargers top a battery off much more quickly than charging through the USB ever did.
- shard 11y agoHave you considered getting a wireless charger attachment for your S4? That way you don't have to shut down your phone to fill up the battery, at least at home or in your car.
- douche 11y agoHaven't really thought about it. With the spare batteries at hand, it's only a few seconds to swap them. Have to be careful to shut it down completely before popping the old battery, or it will occasionally think the SD card needs reformatting.
