Try this: Discharge the battery completely until the phone shuts off. Plug in the cable and then let it charge while the phone is off (best to do at night). Leave it there for at least 4 hours. Then power it on and check if it fully charged. Thanks0 Reply More

Oct 12, 2012, 5:23:16 AM via App Oct 12, 2012 5:23:16 AM via App You can try to go to Recovery Mode - wipe battery stats in the advance menu. Drain the phone fully then charge it and do it for 3 or 4 cycles. Thanks0 Reply More

Apr 11, 2019, 9:18:13 AM via Website Apr 11, 2019 9:18:13 AM via Website Simply you need to get another battery. However, if that doesnt work thertes only one other thing to do is... GO BUY YOU A BRAND NEW PHONE. I mean why keep spending money on the same phone that you know for yourself that aint gone work after you think of something that may be the problem that might fix your phone that youre trying to fix.
