flashing orange light when trying to charge?

[hurricanes15]

so i just got my replacement dinc today, put in my old battery from my broken dinc.. now it wont turn on and the notification light blinks orange. im hoping this means the battery is dead and it needs a little bit to charge before it turns on..anybody know what this means?

edit: it just need to charge for a little bit. sorry for freaking out guys

No problem, we're glad you figured it out!

Wait, why is it flashing though?

Mines usually a solid orange and stays that way until it's charged up then it turns green.

I'm sure your phone is perfectly fine, I'm just curious why it was flashing.

I love that you get to keep your battery when getting a replacement. When I got my replacement, due to the inner screen cracking, I just put my old battery in and bumped charged it like 6 times, I love it because it increased my battery time by almost 40%. I know it lessens the life of the battery but who cares? I have an unused brand new one if that happens

**I also got another 2gb microSD, Assurion is much better than when I got replacements for my old BB. This phone was brand new in the box still sealed.

i think it was flashing because the battery was completely dead

Mine has done it too. Its only when booting up while charging a pretty low battery.

on my power cord at work, i will charge it til it turns green and when i turn off the phoneto fully charge, it flashes orange at me and wont go to green while the phone is off. at home this never happens with a different charger. it charges to full green like it should. no idea why it does that but i no longer turn my phone off to charge at work.

this only happens when your battery is super dead. sometimes it wont even turn on, you need to let it charge then turn it back on when it stops flashing

if you turn the device off while charging, it will charge up quicker.

I don't know if it's because I plugged it in while shutting down or some other reason. The other day I had a similar problem of a flashing orange and green light. The orange would flash and the green and back to orange then going dark for a moment. The battery was not completely dead, but it was in the red. The orange light went back to solid after I unplugged it for a bit.

im having the same problem with my htc g2. i bought a brand knew battery, brand knew charger. i was still having problems with my phone with the chargin.. it would go in and out. only charge for a bit. and when it would die it wouldnt charge at all. so i took it somewhere to get it fixed.. to come to find out it was my charger port. so i got it fixed for fifty bucks...

ashleymarissa20: where did you take your phone to get it fixed?

Go to amazon.com and find an external battery charger for your phone. You cant have your phone on during charging but it is a 17 dollar quick fix.
