Razr battery charging

Posted: 09-04-2005, 06:09 AM
Have had the razr for a couple of weeks and I'm puzzled over the charging
indicator. During the last few days I put the phone on change in the evening
and in the morning it still says it's charging. Plus the three bars on the
battery graphic drops to two bars within minutes of unplugging it from the
charger. Got a black razr for my wife at the same time and hers seems fine.

Think I need to make a trip back to the Cingular store?

You more likely have a bad battery. Try swapping batteries with your
wife to see if it's the battery or the phone and return to Cingular with
the result.

Apparently my has had some charging issues also and didn't tell me. Anyway I
removed and reinserted the battery and now I seem to be getting a good
charge, green battery with three bars. Now I need to play with my wife's
phone and see what's up.
One thing I will say, Motorola user manuals suck. They need to include all
possible display symbols, features, etc. and explain them to.
Has anybody compiled a 'unofficial user manual, one with useful info in it?

Is it mostly the indicator that is the problem though, or are you having
actual charging issues?

Agreed

>Has anybody compiled a 'unofficial user manual, one with useful info in it?


I've debated it in the past, but by the time I understand the phone well
enough to write a manual, I lose interest in doing so :|

Like a lot of husbands throughout history, Mr. Webster
would sit down and try to talk to his wife.
As soon as he'd say something though, she'd fire back with,
"And just what the hell is THAT supposed to mean?"
Thus, Webster's Dictionary was born.
