Hello and I hope I get some answers here.

I finally decided to get a smartphone. I bought a stratosphere because it's easier to text but the battery doesn't keep a charge. This is my 2nd phone since I bought it in April, the 2nd phone was working until the past few days.

Whats wrong with it? Can you give more detail on what's not working? The battery doesn't keep a chare? As in it dies fast or doesn't charge up?

Basically both. The battery doesn't last and also doesn't take a charge. I read here that some people are taking the battery out for 10 seconds and putting it back. When I did that, it took the charge. If I have to do that everytime its better then a useless phone!

Lol yeah. And with early 4g phones the battery life was crap!. My thunderbolt would only stay charged for 4.5 - 5 hrs :/
