How long does the phone need to be charged? It won't turn on

The first charge should be 14 hours to give your battery full capacity charge. Then, one 3 hour charge will last for about 36 hours, or you could charge it every night like smartphones.

The actual unit should not take longe before it cuts on....hold the power button down

I charge mine everynight while I sleep, but if I forget it will last me 2 days(48 hrs) if I don't talk for long periods of time. you may have a bad battery. IMPORTANT= if you utilize the water resistant feature of this phone then get a dock to charge on. the tabs that seal your phone only last soo long before they lose seal or break off. only open them when you have to..

Charge it until the green lights go out. this took a couple of hours. I will sometimes charge my phone through the P4000 so that they charge at the same time.

Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

I had the same problem with the charging. I reset it by pressing both the on/off button and the volume button at the same.It still takes a long time.

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

Well, actually, mine wont turn on, but I hear that's a good thing. There's a little door on the back your have to pry off. If I remember right, its smaller than a matchbook cover. Behind it there's an on/off switch. Keep your fingers crossed that it works. Mine phone has worked fine except the ringer btw.

Same thing happened to me. I put the battery in, it showed the red light blinking. I tried to turn it on and the phone lit up but wouldn't turn on. I let it sit charging for 30 mins and the red light was solid but when I came back to the phone the light was out and now the phone does nothing. Don't know where I go from here...

Well I let it charger like 2 hours .unless that your charger is broke. Try to power it on to see if it work.

Once charged it last a very long time. To turn it on hold the center button down for at least 6 seconds until you see it come on. *Note* your phone must have the blue tooth enabled prior to turning on the device. You can turn it off by holding the same button the same way. It will turn off on its own though.

Well like I said in my review you should turn it on when you get to about 20% or before to make sure you get a 100% charge. What really helps is if you turn it on, then turn your phone off. In about 20 minutes you're at 100% & you can more than likely charge your phone more than once.

Doubtable but you can try. My charging port was shot and the battery wouldn't charge. So normally if you bought a new battery your phone should boot up. I would bet its another issue with your phone.

Ehh roughly 6-8 hours of charge time maybe, I don't even use mine anymore because I couldn't charge both at the same time, I also only used it when it dropped below 50% on my phone, just to get it back up to around 80%

The battery that I installed in my phone was fully charged in about 4 hours. If the battery that you recieved won't charge you might have got a defective one. I would try cleaning the contacts on the battery and your phone and then try to charge it again. If that dosen't work then you will have to return it for replacement. I hope that answers your questions.

The red light should turn on. Perhaps you don't have it set well? That happened to me. It took some twisting and turning to get the light to come on. Check the phone. It should show the phone charging if it is working properly.
