thunderbolt not charging

I got my thunderbolt in July and had problems like: not getting text messages,Internet not turning on or off, app's crashing or not working, screen locking up and not my battery it being bad. All bugs were fixed, but last night my phone was dieing and I was busy with class work. then it shows the stripped battery icon I hurry up ,and plug it in but it died and the amber light was blinking for a long time and not going solid. pulled the battery for 20mins put it in same thing. this is the first time this has happened to the battery and its on charge now and is warm.

any ideas what to do or thoughts????

PS not a good typer

If the battery drained low enough the power itself off this usually drops to low to power back up until you plug it into the wall until the charging battery icon shows on the screen and then the device should power back on at this point.... ONLY works with a wall charger, the pc usb does not supply enough wattage to allow the devices battery to recover from a battery discharge.

nope it was in the wall going tomorrow for a battery or new phone but if a new phone which do i pick i dont know

Well they wont let ya have a different phone if you have not completed your contract. A replacement TB yes. Also think about taking the charger in. They go bad also.

I would ask for a new battery and charger and see if that corrects the issue

Sounds like a good plan of action One Suggestion see if you can get a Extended Batter since the T-Bolt is selling for $99.99 as a matter of fact i just looked on the Verizon Sight at the Batteries there selling the Extended one for $24.99 when you go to the store ask for the online Price. Some stores will Honor it an some won't. Best of luck on your Purchase.

May i add a side Note Please: i am eating some Hillshire Farms little smokies smotherd in Barbaque an grape jelly Sauce! O boy there so Delicious..

To add to B33's comment. I bought one of the $25 extended life batteries. What a difference it makes. And $25 is very inexpensive for one.

And you lost me when you put BBQ sauce and grape jelly together....ick.

It's Goood!

Hey Budone you would'nt think it would be good but it is you take a cup of your favorite BBQ sauce an Cup of Smuckers Grape mix it in a Crock pot let it set in there for 4 to 6 Hours with the Smokies an it is Yumi. You can add a-little mustard an brown surgar in with it as well. An were Me an mom Got this was from an old Recipe she had. You should give it a Try sometime...:smileyhappy:
