VX6100 Battery Problem
Ok heres the issue. I will fully charge my phone and then when I go to make a call anywhere from 10-20 mins the phone begins to blink low battery or sometimes shuts off. If the phone shuts off and I turn it back on or I end the call the battery indicator goes back up, to say two or three bars. Is this a problem with the phone or the battery? It does this all the time.
Thanks!
Thanks!

How long have you had it? I ask because this is a phone that has been out for awhile. If you have had it a long time, I'd say first try buying a new battery and see if that helps. If not, it is probably the phone and if you are still within your 1 year manufacturer's warranty, take it into a Verizon store and have it replaced with a FRU. Or you could always take it to a tech and have them decipher what the problem is.

I had 2 LG 6100's at the same time in my family. One of my 6100's did the same thing, the other did not. The phone would often power itself off as soon as I took the charger out. It would also power itself off for no apparent reason, even though the battery was fully charged. I think the problem was a phone defect, not a battery problem. I ended up just getting another phone as the problematic 6100 was over a year old.

This one i've seen as a battery problem. take the battery out of the phone. It most likely is startig to buldge in the center. take a look at the batery terminals. there's a Liquid Damage indicator right there. on the older style batteries it should be a sold black that shifts grey/purple when wet. Some may have white/red dots that bleed when wet.

I'd try purchasing a new battery. if that doesn't resolve it, you have 15days to return said batery.

The phone is 18mos old. So now I am trying to decide if I should just get a new battery or a new phone. The phone is in great condition and I love the solid construction of the LG, just not crazy about the 8100.
