Hi everybody 2 questions . Plugged the phone in and it charges the phone maybe 5 seconds then it shuts off. Does this sound like the charging port or the battery?.
2nd question How is Metro with their warranties in case we do have to get it replaced?.
Thanks in advance ,
Tony
 
If the problem is with the port, then it will disconnect after some movement occurs around the port (indicating loose wire or loose connection).

MetroPCS gives free defective replacements for 1 month. Also, if there are any defects found within the first year, they will replace the phone for a reduced fee. (After that you're on your own without insurance)
 
After the first 30 days of buying the phone, it will cost $15 to replace if it can't be fixed.

I no longer wish to break my phone :rolleyes:
 
I have that problem ocasionally when my battery goes dead ( which i try to Never let happen)
So i plug charger in it starts then stops

Unplug plugin,repeat
2-3 times. Always works for me
 
This has only happened when the battery is dead
I believe the oposite of most people
I try to only let my battery die maybe every 2 months
I try to keep it charged
But one day my battery indicator stayed at 100 till it died
I think half the problems may be caused by whatever weird sh##
Lg does. fake battery stats and signed images.
Never seen so many weird issues with batteries on other ohones
 
I've had 3 of the LG Motion's and have not had battery problems with any of them.

If my battery gets below 10%, I just turn my phone off. Letting the battery go down to 0% can damage it's life.

I read the forums ,theres all kinds of problems
Wrong stats
Stay at 100 till dies
Reboot stats change drastically

Yup, on reboot with my last motion, it would go from 50 to 60, then down to 40 with a reboot per minute....:eek:
 
You think it has to do with charging it with wrong charger ? I tried charging mine with my friends note 2 and it went from 0 to 50 in 3 minutes .
 
I have mentioned several times in the past
But i think only 2gygayte and newer people ever listen
I am not saying this is the problem but
It does make me wonder

start sensors
}

#
# Allow persistent faking of bms
# User needs to set fake bms charge in persist.bms.fake_batt_capacity

case "$fake_batt_capacity" in
"") ;; #Do nothing here
* )
case $target in
"msm8960")
echo "$fake_batt_capacity" > /sys/module/pm8921_bms/parameters/bms_fake_battery

Does anybody know what all this is for?
There is another several lines of code somewhere concerning fake battery stats
I think if you if run getprop in terminal shows service

Not familiar with the language but if it finds "msm8960" it sends whatever is found in "$fake_batt_capacity" to what is probably a program called bms_fake_battery.
