Default Battery problem with my Verizon 8830 - 07-30-2007, 09:43 AM

As of this weekend, my battery meter only goes up to 75% no matter how long I charge it. I've had my 8830 for 2 months without any problems. Has anyone else seen this kind of issue?

I've tried rebooting and running a diagnostic but no joy so far. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

boket, have you tried letting it drain to about 10-15% a couple of times in a row to "reset" the meter, so to speak?

Also, you might try using a different charge method (i.e., if you have been charging via the wall charger, use the USB charge next time?).

Take the BB in to a verizon store, they will replace the whole thing free of charge. Its all covered under the warrenty on the phone. Your other option is to call customer service and they will ship you a new one and you just ship that one back.

Thanks a lot -- I did both of these last night and it is back to 100%.
