I have a sprint epic refurb that I got from sprint in october 2012. The phone had been fine before today but after leaving it in my pants pocket overnight (and the battery going to 0%) it has developed some strange peculiarities.
1) If i pull the battery from the phone for 30 seconds and put it back in the phone will immediately boot by itself. (power button is not stuck, operates normally to lock screen on/off)
2. If I turn the phone off through menus, there is no way to turn it back on, power button doesn't seem to do anything. Reboot by removing the battery and putting it back in
3) seems to have gotten picky about usb cables and chargers. Cables and charges that worked before no longer work, but they work with other phones. More picky the lower on charge the battery is. after I get it over 25% it seems to be less picky.
any idea what is going on? I am stuck with a sprint contact for 8 more months.
