SOS! Basically, I was just talking on my phone and it totally went black and died. Now, I can't turn it on. The battery was fully charged. . . What do I do?

The optimus black phone should take 2-3 hours to fully charge. When you get a new phone, however, it is generally a good idea to let the battery completely die before you start charging it.

Over time, batteries hold less and less charge. Supposedly, by allowing the battery to completely die before charging it the first time, you improve the longevity of the battery.

HI, sorry to hear that...
Basically, if that happens the LCD of your phone is busted. make sure the battery is working also try to use that battery to another phone if does not working that's the time that you have to visit one of your service center in your area...
Thanks

Hello

I've found using the internet even briefly KILLS your batterys, especially if you do anything that requires streaming data (ie, youtube, streaming radio).

For instance, I listened to SomaFM streaming radio for about 10-15 minutes the other day (without headphones), and the battery went down 10% in that amount of time. You're basically talking 1% per minute when streamin audio. All I know is once this thing becomes a little more capable with streaming, I'm going to need to get a spare battery or bring my charger to work and just keep it plugged in.

Even worse is watching Youtube. I had a bit of downtime at work and watched 3-4 Bill Maher clips on youtube (this time with headphones). Over a period of 20-30 minutes, my battery went from 85-95% to 25%. It basically kills your battery, so be carefuly with youtube.

When I use my call normally for texts, emails, and calls it seems to hold a charge no problem. Especially when I consider that my brand new FULLY-charged laptop only lasts about 2 hours when
I'm using it for browsing the web.

You could also try disabling Pocketday.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING FIXYA

You need to replace battery. Battery is going bad and not holding a full charge. Your phone will say full charge, because battery is fully charged to the capacity that it has left. Buy these on ebay, really cheap to buy them there.

Ok first of all you should never let a phone die out of charge at all.IF it dies out of charge there are chances it might charge again once you charge it but in some cases it wont, you need to boost your battery just like jump start your car.It cannot be done anywhere except some service centre. If you are not taking to your service center , then you need to buy a new battery.

if you have had your bluetooth on or have been listening to music for a long time that can drain the battery very quickly . the other problem could be if you are not lettting it die of totally then charging it the battery remembers so when you do charge it the battery dont last long . try turning your bluetooth off or just lettin your battery die off totally then charge it fully

Hi,

Dear Friend,

A friend that worked for GTE advised me some yrs ago to do this and I have NOT had a problem with another battery since
when you get any new Battery charge it plugged in to the ac AND phone jack for a minimum of 24 hrs without using it.
all batteries have some memory and deminish power over time but if it was NOT fully charged to begin with as a yr goes by so does the battery life. hope this works,

You need a new battery
