Tried this....
Held it for over 5 minutes!!
I'm guessing my phone should have done something by then!!
But Nothing!
Ever since the update 2 days ago, my phone is having the "Battery charging indicating issue", & Will not turn on once turned off, or turned off by itself, unless plugged in!
I've tried Everything I can find on these issues!
The phone worked fine beforehand, I did a "Factory Reset", I was hoping a "Hard Reset" Would offer a solution!
But my phone will not allow this apparently!
Anyone have any other suggestions to this??
& I'm sure it's a dumb question, but I'm running out of options, other than purchasing a new phone!-There is ONLY one way to do a "Hard Reset" right?
Any info greatly appreciated!!
