Ok, so I bought an extended battery and just got it today. Found out that when I plug it in and try to charge it, the LED blinks instead of staying on like on my stock battery. I also can't turn my device on.... Any help is appreciated

Don't know if it is the same thing or not. I bought a spare battery for mine and it did the same. I had to replace it. The seller stated it was defective.

This ones fine. First charge thing I guess. It's all good.

Has anyone else noticed this on the E4GT? I had this problem on my Evo when running Cyanogenmod, but not Sense. I've tried both the Sammy charger that came with it and my old HTC charger.
While charging, the touchscreen becomes erratic. It will input various places nowhere near where you're touching or sometimes not at all. It only happens while charging, remove the device from the charger and it goes back to normal.
Yes, there's a gigantic thread about this already. The gist of it is our touch screens are very finicky and if you use a non-voltage regulated charger (like inexplicably the one that comes with it) the screen will go nuts on it while charging.
I bought a Blackberry charger for it and it works perfectly while charging.

I am going to assume you checked the obvious of a loose battery. Does it vibrate and go off or when you shake it the power goes off?
I believe this would be hardware not software. You can check by flashing a known good Rom. But first check the contact points on your battery. Rub them clean, and make sure they are "springy"
I check the battery and it fits well but it is one of those monster batteries so it could fit loose in there..it does just shut down not a power cycle... thanks kenny guess ill have to go back to stock batt

Try ripping off the cover of a book of matches and placing it between the the battery and the cover. It worked when I used the giant battery.

Exacty Brooklyn, that's what I had to do with my extended battery. It would shut off when I closed the keyboard to hard. A thin piece of cardboard fixed that.

I had to do the exact same thing. anytime I slammed my KB shut the phone would power off.
I just put a matchbook cover on top of the battery and the issue was resolved
I had to do the same thing... you think they would test these batteries a little better before public release.
which exteded battery do you have my gorilla gadgets did that switched to the hyperion doesnt do it anymore.
Yes. Loose battery. Only happens when you buy those cheap ginormous batteries. Careful, I had a friend that lost a left nut when that thing overheated and exploded. I kid you not!
Whenever i unplug the phone,the battery drops to 99%. Is it Normal or just me?

Happens to me too. Or if it does hit 100 it drops immediately to 99 the moment i take it off the charger.
Well It happened on my dad's E4GT too. But fascinate/OG Epic/Illusion/Evo 3d Which I own never did so!
Take a glass and fill it up with water until it overflows, think of this as your battery. Tip it just a little and you lose some, at which point you will not have 100% of the water anymore. The moment you take it off the charger, it would only make sense for it to immediately go to 99%

Looks like its a common problem! Thanx for ur inputs everyone.

Hey Folks,
Does anyone have any experience with the Galaxy Nexus (VZW) spare charger. I bought one for my phone. I charged the new battery with the spare charger and it worked fine. Put it in my phone and everything was ok. It even seemed I got more life out of the new battery than the old.
Anyway, I put my old battery in the spare charger and the led just flashes orange and it seems like it is not charging because when I swapped it to see the battery life it was only at 31% so it gained about 10% overnight.
Does anyone know what these led's mean? There are no manuals or instructions that came with it.
Sounds like the olds battery is going bad.

Yep. My battery goes straight to red mode.

Update to this. When one of my batteries shows an orange light, i stick it into my phone to charge. After that, it charges fine next time.

Okay, let me give the rundown.
Co-worker's E4GT, was running my GB27 Rooted package since the same day I posted here.
Told me today his display isn't working.
Battery wasn't charging so I charged it.
But after that I was able to flash GB27 Rooted Nodata again to rule that out. That's working.
Phone came up, MTP came up and I can even screencast.
Here's what I'm wondering:
1) Battery was still showing zero, so I'm charging again now to see if that restores display.
If I fully charge and it shows on screencast zero I'll replace it next.
2) Although screen shows nothing, phone is completely functional except that.
Audio, LED, even the digitzer responds to input! (It's a little tricky touching based on screencast but possible.)
Any thoughts on what this could be?
They apparently took it to Sprint but said there was water damage on it so wouldn't fix it. (I call BS on that by the way until I open the back case. That will be on Monday)
Hate to see him get a new phone when it works fine except the display itself. Thanks!

That's a new one... I bet you're on the right path with the battery.. Did you give it the spin test I hear so much about..
If its the LCD that's bad thankfully it can be replaced pretty cheap.

Yes. No spin, so I'll let it charge overnight and see if it holds a charge.

When on screencast can you mess with the brightness setting?
