This phone has a bad history since day one that I had to send back top Spain for the warranty to cover replacing the motherboard. Today my day started with WM 6 not loading up and phone shutting off. I downgraded to WM5 to re install WM6 touch VIII. All went well until it reaches the windowns screen and when I click start-settings or anything else it beeps and shuts off. The only way it stays on is when connected to USB or to wall charger. I have 2 batteries that are about 1 yr old. One of which I was using daily heavily. I noticed the other battery which I use less, when connected to wall charger it does not even turn charger light on. I did leave battery aout of phone for at least 4 hours after I had issues getting past the Prophet touch VIII Gullum screen this AM. Now, should I buy another battery and try it or is this the internal battery(is there one) that does not hold charge and needs repairing. Anyone had similar issues. The search function here did not return anything.

Is your battery charged up? I had the same problem when my battery was down to under 25%. Once the battery was charged up the problem went away.

try a new battery start afresh or use some of your friends whose is only not more than 2 months old ,if battery is the culprit then everything would work fine. these batteries dont last much more than 1 year.

I put the battery that works and charged it off the wall charger. I could see the battery scale go from 0% to 100% in a few minutes. Something really weird, I went ahead and ordered another battery on ebay but its coming from Hong Kong so hopefully the remaining battery won't die. I also reinstalled Touch VIII and it works great so far. Thanks for replies.
