My phone has started playing up and keeps beeping and showing the battery as charging when it's clearly not.
My main problem is that due to it thinking it's charging the lights won't go off - which are killing my battery and making my phone quite unreliable in that after a couple of days from charge it goes from 3 bars to low battery to dead in the space off a few hours - not good when you are ready to give birth at any moment!!!

I first thought it was a problem with the menu's but have made all the lights settings to Always Off yet it's still showing the lights on 24/7.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas on how to resolve it?

I'm not keen to PAY someone to do it as it's an older phone but am hoping it'll last me until the CDMA telecom network ends.

Thanks for your time and hopefully your help :)
