LG chocolate my phone will not charge, i dont know if its the charger, or the phone, but when i plug the charger in nothing happens, and my phone is almost completely dead, and i need it...can someone help me?

I used to have the same phone. I took it to get it repaired and they told me that when anything goes wrong with that model there is nothing you can do.

i am having a somewhat similar problem with my samsung gleam. so far all i did was pull out the "bad" battery and put a battery into that phone that i know was charged. when i did that, the phone worked. then i put the "bad battery" into my phone and turned it on. it immediately shut off. i plug in my car charger and nothing, no indication it was charging or anything. i take it home and plug in my wall charger to it and after half hour, charges fine. try swapping batteries and then charging in a phone you know will charge it, that is what i am getting at here.

new phone get them for £10 argos make sure its the same provider and reuse us sim

Hello I have a serious Question please help..?

Buy a new charger. It will not charge off the usb cord unless it has 25% charge.

You can go to a cellular repair store in order to get the charger port fixed. Some places my charge and arm and leg to do so you have to look around and compare prices. I know I found on place that said they would do it for $75 and another that siad they would do it for $35. Some stores that sell cell phone accessories may fix it but you should call and find out everything before you make that drive and make sure you compare prices.

did you charge the phone???

battery problem buddy

when that happened to me it could have been caused by two possible problems:
1) water damage. If you know it's not water damage, it still could be because if you had your phone in the bathroom while having a shower, steam can seep in and if it's one thing I noticed about chocolate flips they get water damage really easily.
------>>> If that is the case then you have to take your battery off and take a really fine ground sand paper and rub along the contacts (like the copper that is on the battery and the phone that touch when you put ur battery in) and that will rub off any kind of oxidization (rust) and possibly make your phone work. It happened to mine and I did that and it was successful

2) you could not be turning your phone off regularly enough. Technically, you are supposed to turn your phone off every night when you go to bed to give your battery time to re-vamp. Also, I was speaking with a rep from telus and they were saying that you should also turn your phone off during the day, just for a minute then turn it back on again and apparently it recharges the battery as well.

Hope this helps!! It only comes from personal experience so it all depends on the reason why it's doing that.
