    Help Battery Flashing Red

    Okay, a couple times I've noticed this, so I'll ask. Maybe it's something simple. Occasionally, when I plug the phone in to charge, the battery flashes empty and red and doesn't appear to charge. I turn it off and charge it with the power off. Any idea what the flashing red means? Thanks.

    Gangstar: West Coast Hustle HD?
