So early today I was texting on my phone and was having no issues. When I arrived at work today I set my phone down, and it was then the issues began. The phone turned off suddenly. I held the button to turn it back on, and it stayed on the opening white screen that said "HTC" in green letters. It remained like this for about 15-20 seconds, then turned back to black. Then, without me touching it, it turned back to the white screen, remained there for 15 seconds, then turned back on. This continued for about 3 minutes, in which it drained the 10% of my battery that remained.
I decided to plug my phone in to fix the problem. The notable orange light took about 20 seconds to show up. It then blinked for a second, then began doing a short blink every 5 seconds after. After this happened for a bit, it remained at orange, then a few minutes later, I got the general picture of the battery on the black background with the % charge under it. I waited until the battery was at 15%, which was a reasonable amount to see if it would turn on. With the phone, still charging, I decided to turn it on.
The process of going to the white screen, waiting 15 seconds, and turning off, repeated itself again until the battery drained. I currently have it plugged in with the picture of the charging battery visible and the orange light seen, with a charge of 20%. If anyone has experienced this issue, please explain how you fixed it. I am considering ordering a new battery, although I am just not sure why this happened so suddenly. My Vivid was showing no sign of issue early in the day.
