      If the battery on your Samsung Cell Phone does not charge properly or the device turns off, it might be due to dirty battery terminals. Wipe both gold colored contacts with a clean, soft cloth and try charging the battery again. If the battery still will not charge completely, replace it with a new battery after properly disposing of the old one.
