Back soft key not responding and android os high

[hazi1964]

Ive done a quick search but couldn't find anything.

Just wondering, does anybody find on the s2 that the soft back key doesn't always respond? I'm sometimes having to tap mine several times before it responds and it's driving me bonkers.

Also, I have noticed that the android os is high on this phone and the strange thing is, the percentage seems to go up when the phone isn't actually being used for anything, as in, sat idle for a few hours. Just wondering what the average percentage should actually be with this phone.

My battery life is rubbish too. Thursday and Friday, it was fine but I didn't use the phone much at all. Today it was fine until 6pm, again, didn't really use the phone but this evening, I have been texting and it dropped 40% in three hours and I've had to put it on charge.

I'm not happy with this and will be contacting Samsung on Monday but before I do, would be interested to hear what other people are experiencing with the android os and back key. Battery life is more or less irrelevant as that varies from person to person according to usage. I'm just disappointed as I seldom had to charge my galaxy s before bedtime unless I tethered, which I hadn't done today until I had to put the phone on charge.

Thanks in advance

Alison - Loads of threads on here about battery life :-) Varies greatly between firmware versions, signal strength usage etc (as you know). Sammy extended batery (with new back cover is excellent bit of kit). I get 3 days "normal" use from mine. No issue with back key either as long as I make sure I hit the centre of the key....

I did say in my post that battery life is more or less irrelevant so that's not what I'm asking about. It's the other problems I'm asking about.

You don't have to tell me there are plenty of threads on battery life, I already know that and stated in my post that it varies from person to person.

I used the search function prior to posting but couldn't find answers to the main problems.
