If you had your handset for a while, then try replacing the 'standard' AAA rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries (same or higher and better current 'mA' ratings) as they have a finite life span and will gradually loose the ability to retain charges over times (typical symptom is they appear full and after a few minutes use, they are completely depleted).
Hope it helps: let me know how you go.

My iphone won't charge up at all i put it on charge when its was at 5% on the battery life so i put it on charge tuesday night i awoke wednesday morning it wasn't charged at all the only thing it shows is...

I was very skeptical of this fix when I found it on YouTube, but it's worked twice for me now without any issues.

If low battery shows up, but after being plugged in for hours has no change in battery life do this:

1.Unplug your phone from the charger.
2.Take a hair dryer or heat gun and use the typical back and forth sweeping motion to heat the back and sides of the phone while it is laying on its screen side.

**I keep my hand right next to the phone when doing this so that I can feel how hot my phone is getting.**

Obviously if its too hot you can hold the heat source farther away from the phone or take little breaks giving it time to cool down.

3. Wiggle the dryer back and forth all around (except not on the screen) until you feel a tinge of pain on your hand. Then pause and do it again x2.
4. Plug you phone back in and it should start right up on its own after 2-3 seconds.

If you feel nervous or confused google this hair dryer battery restore trick and watch a video of someone else doing it. Use your best judgement. If it's too hot for you it's probably too hot for your phone.

CAUTION: If you over heat your phone you risk ruining the LCD or worse -the phones brains and guts.

This worked great for me and my friends iPhone's. I hear it works with androids as well. When my iPhone's charging capabilities were restored it held it about the same and before. This is necessary many time after putting your phone in a drawer for a year or letting it discharge 100%

I have just inherated the at&t e5634b phone system. I have replaced the batteries in the hand sets. As per the manual I have de-registered each hand set. The problem is that when I register the...

This problem can be caused by the following, A bad battery, (which you say you are all new). A full base memory and a Faulty main base unit
This main base unit can only expand to four handsets and no more. If the base unit has been reset then the assigned numbers for each handset would begin with " handset 1" if they show any other number when reset then it would not have been reset..To re-set main base you will have to
De-Register All Handsets
Unplug the power supply from the base unit then Remove all handsets from the charge cradles and base then Press and hold the PAGE button on the base.
Plug in the power supply again while pressing the PAGE button, Continue pressing PAGE until the IN USE and CHARGING indicators are lit. (this could take up to 10 seconds)
Release the PAGE button All Handsets will display "enter base id".
If this does not solve your problem then you will have to replace the main base

Env2 charger wont fit in the hole and wont charge my phone

The issue is the charger port on the ENV2 breaks fairly easily. Thefirst step is to contact your carrier to see if it is covered underwarranty. If it is, great get it replaced.

If not, you have 3 options:

1. you can get the charging port repaired. The cost is about 50 dollars. I recommend Cellulardr.com

2. you can get a new phone. cost ???

3. You can get an external battery charger to charger the battery separatefrom phone. cost about 25 dollars. Check out the following link forones that are available on ebay. A extra battery is a good idea as well so you can have one charging at all times.

Phone not charging unless i hold it in my hand and squeeze the charger. Same thing happens with a new charger

Try to reduce the length of wire of your cell's charger.Cut the wire of your charger and reduce its length.Reconnect both wires the same way they were connected before and please make sure wires wont touch each other.Set your phone at charge and see if its charging,if not then connect the wires again but differently.
If you have the same problem with other chargers too then the problem is with your charging port.You'll have to take your cell to cell phone repairer.

Thank you!

The phone ( sub-unit) links to the base on and off from time to time. How can I do ?

Sounds like the RF (radio frequency) module may be bad. If your battery is really old it could also be the problem, especially if the problem is more likely to happen after the phone has been off the charger stand for some time.
