Does anyone else notice this issue on the Dinc? I'm on to my second Dinc and it happens to that one as well:

Once the battery gets in the "red" (i think 10% or 15%) it doesn't start charging at all unless it's been plugged in for 20 - 30 minutes.

Regularly if you charge your battery (from the non-red level) you see the little lightning bolt appear and then you see the progress bar go higher and higher and reset and go higher, higher, etc.... When the phone is in red status, you just see the lightening bolt and no progress is made. I tested this by leaving it plugged in for 10 - 15 minutes and unplugged it and it did not move up 1 percentage point. After 20 - 30 minutes suddenly you see the progress bar move.

This really sucks because once your phone is in red, it takes a while before it starts charging...

I brought my phone to Verizon, had it swapped out and my "new" (refurbed) phone does the same thing.

Searched the forums and checked out google and found tons of battery issues, but nothing like this. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

I keep monitoring the battery level via Menu-->Settings-->About Phone-->Battery.

Give it a try. Let your battery run into the red level. Before you do that though, review what happens when you charge your phone in non-red level first. Take note of the graphic and the time it takes to charge serveral percentage points.

The threshhold of red is 15% i believe. letting it hit red and IMMEDIATElY charging it for 15 minute or so doesn't pull it out of that RED status.

 

Can one of you just try it?
Let it hit the red and immediately charge it for 10 mins. Take it off charger. Still will be in red. Charge in small 10 min increments and it will never charge.
