I've had it plugged in with its original charger all day and also tried a few others but cannot get it to come back on. Mostly the red light is blinking but sometimes it is completely blank or the charging battery icon shows on the screen.

Even after wiping android (yep, Ubuntu has better battery life). Found it's trivially easy to buy a new battery and replace it, if you're comfortable opening up your phone. Actually, have now replaced most of it... frame, back cover, front lcd & digitiser x 3... have been a bit hard on the poor device. Good luck with it. > > M > > -- > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp >
