I have an LG Thrill 4G. My phone just went thru an issue where it wouldn't charge past 4%. Sometimes, it wouldn't go past 2%, so I had to leave it on the charger ALL the time - or risk it dying, completely.
For days, the only services shown on my battery usage were:
Cell Standby: 33%
Bluetooth: 33%
Phone Idle: 32%
Display: 2%
I replaced the battery with a brand new one - NOTHING changed. Battery still sat around 2-4% for the entire day, while on the charger. So, I started uninstalling apps like crazy - just to see what would happen.
NOTHING. Same thing.
So, I decided to at least install the Facebook app back...and the upgraded version had to be installed - so I did it.
VOILA!!! My phone instantly started charging ...8%...14%...24%...52%...80%...91%...all over a period of about an hour. Just a constant charge going up a few percentage points every few minutes...
...and all of a sudden, started going back down pretty rapidly when it hit 92%. Within maybe 3mins, the charge went from 92% to 78% - and I wasn't using the phone. I was just watching the meter drop 2 percentage points over a period of a few seconds, each time. I decided to quickly turn the phone off at 78% but left it on the charger.
After roughly 5mins, I turned the phone back on, just to see what the charge would be sitting at. WOULDN'T YA KNOW - 3%.
How can battery life go from 78% to 3% - while it's OFF - within a 5min span??? Therefore, my question is: was it really charged to 78% when I turned the phone off? Or was the battery meter being "tricked" by some app that might be installed?
The first battery it did this to was the 1500mah. Used that battery for like 3 days of this before I replaced it. The battery the scenario above JUST happened to is my new 3500mah battery, and it's been giving this 3500mah battery the 3% capacity for a whole day and a half now...
First of all make sure that the charger and the cellphone is connected properly to each other. There should be some activity going on in your cellphone indicating that it is really charging. Can you see that activity? If not, try plugging the charger on a different location. If it is possible, try a different charger.
One of two things has happened, you are not using the charger that was supplied with the phone when new or the charger you are using, though it is the proper charger, has become faulty.
The best thing to do is replace your charger, of course with the proper size for your LG Dare. See your service provider or purchase from LG directly.
most probably, your phone software crashes or corrupted. we can do nothing about it unless we have a special gadget used to fix mobile phones and buying it cost so much for that purpose only.
To save time and money, I recommend to have it reformat at your nearest service center or dealer if it still has the warranty or to trusted mobile phone repair shop.
Try a car charger. If the car charger works, then it is either
A) Your power outlet
B) Your wall charger Power Supply unit
C) The phone connector on your wall charger.
If it doesn't work on the car charger, then it is most likely your phone charging system or the connection for charging on your phone. Either way, you will most likely need a new phone. Sorry.
Exact same issue. Just rec'd phone via FedEx from Net10. Activated it. Plugged in the charger and it shut off. Will not turn back on.
