My mother, despite her Samsung Galaxy Tab 2's age, and despite already having a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, could not bear part with the former because of one thing: she is already in the advanced levels of Candy Crush in her Tab 2 and doesn't want to start all over again. I know there's an option to save your progress so you don't have to begin at Level 1 the moment you change gadgets, but that's kinda difficult to explain to my mom who just recently discovered the wonders of technology. Believe me, dutiful daughter that I am, I already tried explaining it over the phone. I could only do so much, though, with her being in Mindanao and me being here in Manila.
Anyway, when her Tab 2 broke, I was given strict instructions to have it repaired but not reformatted. I was to exert all efforts to save her Candy Crush progress. Lucky for me, there's an accredited Samsung Service Center at Robinson's Manila, which is not too far from my apartment. They identified that the cause of the tablet's non-charging is a faulty battery. Replacement cost me almost Php 3,000, which hurt my pocket. But hey, a daughter's gotta do what a daughter's gotta do.
Since the battery was replaced, there have been no problems since. And my mother now continues to enjoy her Facebook, Wattpad, Mantano Ebook Reader, and Candy Crush on the same gadget. If your phone is a Samsung, it's best to have it repaired by those who know Samsung inside out, and this is it. read more
