Originally it appeared as though my extended battery was not charging. This still may be the case as it has been plugged in for hours and is only at 38% or is this normal? This is both through the wall charger and car charger.
This model battery.
HTC Droid Incredible 2150mAh Extended Battery & Door
And I just received both the phone and battery from Verizon today.
The phone is a certified "like-new" replacement after the first one got stolen btw. Now it will not turn on...Thanks for the help so far. It is difficult to help fix a phone without being hands-on with it so I will bring it to Verizon today and see what they can do. For "like-new" replacements do they still honor the 30 day guarantee? I had no such problems with my first incredible and would not mind waiting for another that works, I love the phone...and i'm sure as hell not going back to the LG Dare!
EDIT: I have got it to power up. It seems to have died and drained completely overnight while plugged in...ill be looking at it again though.
I went to Verizon this morning and spoke with a very incompetent technician. His first question was if I made sure I plugged it in all the way...
After a while of him just leaving it in the charger and telling me that having wifi enabled and surfing the internet you can literally "watch the battery drain" and that on these android phones that making one 5 minute call can deplete the battery by half.
I didn't buy it but I realized I wasn't getting anywhere with him and told him I did a hard reset and restored the phone to factory settings. No apps, No data. No SD card so nothing was really running and I disabled the WIFI, GPS and Sync functions and left it plugged in overnight for 8 hours in hopes it would charge. Nothing. I woke up to a battery at 4%, unplugged it and it was dead.
I told him this and he said well you can purchase another battery if your convinced there is an issue. I then asked him what time another technician came in and he said 5pm.
So I'll be back at 5pm for round two.
how did the second trip go? if it was unsuccessful i would recommend calling 611 as well they are always great to me although i know two of the techs at my store so i never have issues there...
