Virgin Mobile Kyocera K9 Pay-As-You-Go Wireless Phone
Phone is great and battery might not be an issue
I love the phone and the pay as you go service is a great deal. I think I figured out what is wrong with the battery. I think its a problem with the phone. If you are charging the battery and unplug it from the charger then plug it back in you will notice it doesn't start back up charging again. I think the phone is clueless on figuring out when a full charge occurs. What I did do was wait till the phone was completely out of juice. Then I plugged it into my AC charger(note: The phone needs to be off and should be if it is truly out of power). You will see a message that the phone is off and charging. At this point press your red handset button to turn the phone on. You will see another message that it is still charging and the phone will turn on automatically(at some point). That's it. Just make sure it gets charged fully and is not interrupted at any point or as I mentioned the brain-dead phone can't figure out how to complete the charging process. I did this New Years Eve and have been running on the same charge for almost 5 days! That's the most I have EVER got! Perhaps this is a fluke, I'll have to try it multiple times but this may be a good workaround for folks. <br /> <br />Happy charging!! :-)
