T-bolt dead...

So a few days ago, my battery died (what a suprise) I have the OE Rezound battery. Been working great for a while, but noticed it seem to slowly get worse and worse. Well, plugged it in and noticed it the charge light wouldn't stop blinking red. I let it sit overnight to charge, in the morning though, it wouldn't turn on at all. The battery did get extremely hot too. Figured the battery crapped the bed so I went back to my stock battery. Few days later, battery died again, just wasn't near a charger. I plugged it in, blinked for a minute or so then went solid. I turned it on and got a message saying, current charge not enough or something then the phone died again. Tried multiple chargers at this point and wouldn't stop blinking. The next morning, same thing, completely dead. I brought it to the Verizon store where the guy checked the batteries and tried resetting the phone and even used a charger he had which he said was a powerful charger? Still nothing, I thought it might have been the batteries just going bad but he said the phone is completely dead. Not sure exactly what happened but luckily the kid I traded the phone with bought the extended warranty so I have a new one coming in tomorrow...

Just kind of curious if anyone else has had this problem in the past... Everyone else I know that has the tbolt doesn't have a single issue besides battery life of course, I have always had "good luck" with this stuff lol. My buddy mentioned I'll be the first one to get a virus on an iPhone lol

Either way, thanks for any info, hopefully this "new" one will be better.

FYI

The phone was rooted at one point via Revolutionary root method, I brought it back to stock and it worked fine for months after, could it have been charging it through my PC sometimes which I have done in the past when I forget my charger somewhere?

Got the new p[hone all set up, working great besides the fact that last night when I went to connect to WiFi, I went into settings>wireless and networks, and where it says WiFi, right under it, it says Error. The box is unchecked. when I go to check it, it grays out for about 10 seconds trying to connect then just says Error again... hmmm, maybe gotta return this one too???

Charging through PC wouldn't have caused it. I'm thinking it was using certain chargers and getting that pop up saying the charger wouldn't work with your phone and to unplug it immediately.

The wifi is probably broken. I had that issue on my old one.
