Has your phone been turning off spontaneuosly? Like when you pulg it in? Or unplug it?
Mine does... and drives me nuts. The t-mobile guy thinks I am insane.
But they also dont hold a charge as well as other phones.

Yeah, I charged it overnight and, when I unpluged it, it turned itself off and won't turn on. THe battery is apparently not charged at all.

However, after taking it apart several time, it seems to be charging now. Who knows.

Maybe dirty contacts. Try cleaning them with the eraser on a pencil.

WTF, is there something in the air? Just the other day, my phone rebooted itself when I plugged it in to my car charger during a call. It's never done that before.

Not Afraid · 07-31-2006, 01:31 PM

My contacts are clean, I pulled out the sim and cleaned that. I don't know what's up but it FRUSTRATES the hell out of me. My and my phone are really joined at the hip. (Is this news?)

My phone goes through phases where it'll say it's charged, but after a say two minute phone call the battery will be down to one bar. It did this when I first got it, it's a razr, and they replaced it. Worked fine for a few months but now it's doing it again, but it's hit and miss. Usually if I charge it - then unplug it and plug it back in - it will fully charge.

Maybe the solution is to get one of those phones that no one seems to like. My Sony Ericsson hasn't had charge issues (the charge doesn't last as long as it used to, but that's to be expected; I've had it for a couple years now).

But I've also been told that it's a crappy little phone. I happen to like it.

My sister saw this message on the marquee of the high school from which I graduated.

“Our Goal – Basic or better.”

Wow. Good to see that they've finally started to raise their ambitions after 10 years.

So today's "Leanne we need you to come with us on an errand and bring your UW credit card" trip involved stopping at Fran's Chocolates. Any errand that involves me being able to pick up some salted caramels is okay in my book.

Our new phones have issues.
Its not so much a battery thing.. its a psycho wierd thing
When it turns off of its own accord, it doesnt WANT to turn back on.
If these phones werent brand spankin new, I'd think that we had dirty contacts.
I think its a phone flaw.
