dash crashing/shuting down erratically

[rob331]

Im starting this thread bcuz it was hard for me to find the information about my dash shutting down on me in the middle of stuff (specially online videos) so here it is: battery. Its what I came across looking around the threads (for a while) and it makes sense. Your phone is working great for so long that it seems weird at first and it makes you worried when it just blacks out in the middle of something. Any more advise on this issue will help.:o

Same problem here... a couple of weeks ago my dash started to suddenly shut down. The battery looked ok, since it reported 60% or so, searching in the forums hinted to the battery dying so I've bought an extended battery in ebay and currently I'm waiting for it to arrive.

The phone started reporting weird power levels since I upgraded to 6.1 (first rickys vanilla version then kavannas). It would show something like 60%, then after pluging it in and turning it off during listening to music, it would show a green light after only 5 mins or less (after turning it back on it showed high 90s on the charge, but after a couple of mins it droped dramatically to mid 70s). It makes me wonder, but I guess the battery is about 3yrs old, so no argument there. If anyone has other reasons why the phone would just black out, post them so there's more information available in one place.

ALSO post the solutions, for example: the battery you bought and a review of the outcome (how the battery plays with the phone, what you learned looking around, EVEN the place you got the battery from and why). This will help many. Thanks

I would definitely recommend getting a new battery if all possible...

Im probably buying the 2200mah:cool: if it looks proper, but Im still shopping, so any helpful advise about fit, performance, buying, etc is appreciated.

Oh yah the best place you can get one of those from would be from ebay... thats where I got mine for only 21.95... and that is not a bad price at all...
