Phone says "charge complete" but then just dies

This is the second time this has happened. A few moths ago I let the battery completely die, then charged it and it said charge complete. Unplugged the charger and everything died. It's just black! Took the batter and SIM card out, put it back together, nothing. Put SIM card in another Motorola - same thing (charge complete, nothing). Took both phones back to Best Buys, the guy took the SIM card out of the other phone, put it back in the SLVR and it just worked! Well, I did it again - let the battery die; now the exact same thing is happening: "charge complete", then black. Any ideas?

I took your suggestion and replaced the SIM card, but the difference is I managed to locked it in tightly. It worked.

How long should i charge a new optimus black

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.

My battery completely died a little while ago and I have it charging now, but when I try to boot it back up it gets to the thinking rainbow screen and stalls...Is that just bc I need to wait for it to

I would let it charge. You may also want to try hard resetting it. Press and hold the power button for about 20 seconds. It should continue to charge.

My phone completely turned off. The battery died. However, I can't talk on the phone while it is charging. The light is orange. I had other phones where the battery died and I can still talk on it...

Some phones won't work until the phone's battery has a minimum amount of charge before you can use it with a charger connected. This often due to the fact that the charger doesn't provide enough power to operate the phone by itself. It can only provide the trickle amount of power to slowly charge the battery. Let the charger stay connected long enough for a 15 - 15% charge on the battery and then try again.

My LG VX9400 phone wont charge when the battery completely dies if i plug it in it just flashes the verizon sign a few times then turns completely off

Hello.

If your phone is under warranty (usually 1 year), contact Verizon for a replacement.

If your phone is out of warranty, I would suggest to replace the battery. There are many places online

Hope this helps.

My phone was working fine yesterday, It ran out of charge last night and when I put it on the charger thismorning it now just flashes white screen every 5 seconds or so ... is it dead ? cheers Wal

The phone should never be left to die out of charge anytime for good health of battery and phone.
So the problem is that the battery has completely died out so its not getting charged again, it bound to happen sometimes. So all you need to do is get it to a repair shop and just boost the battery initially so that it starts charging again.
Its similar to jump start in a car. So do not worry its a cheap fix only and never let it again to die out of charge.

My MOTOKRZR K1 battery/phone will not stay charged very long.

Let ur phone completely die. Don't charge it or anything when the low battery notice comes on. After it completely dies, put it on the charger only until it says charge complete. U might have to do it a few times to get ur battery performing as it should. If you charge ur battery too often, it causes ur battery to swell (weird I know) and your battery starts resisting charge. Hope this helps!! (I used to have the same phone and the same problem. I did this, and now my mom is using the phone and has an exceptional battery time)

ZUNE NOT WORKING! ONLY BLACK SCREEN! WONT CHARGE!

Listen everyone this is what happened to me and what I did. Let the battery drain completely (unplugged from computer). It usually takes 5 to 6 hours to drain completely.
Then plug back in and hold the back and down button at the same time. Zune should resume functioning afterwards. All that is needed is a recharge.

Charge

hi your battery has created a memory because you didn't follow simple battery guidelines:

For a new phone with a new battery;

1)Use the phone the first time until the battery dies,
2)Do a full charge - 6-8hours for the first time
3)Use the phone until it dies the second time
4)recharge the battery for 3-5 hours

then your battery should be good, but now your battery needs to be changed, as it already has memory and can only be restored if completely discharged by a battery conditioner
