8600 battery status Need Help!

[BigPimP]

I have the audiovox 8600. It works great no problems at all. My only question is that when I plug in my charger to charge the battery it goes to 2 bars around 2 mins after that it goes to 3 bars in about 5 mins or so. Is my phone a defective one? Also when the battery is full it will go down 1 bar 4 to 3 bars than after awhile it goes back to full. Does anyone have this problem ? I did drain my battery completly down. only complaint about the phone is the ringer tones which suck but its ok and that the speaker is kinda low u have the turn the ear peice volume all the way up in order to hear good but overall its a good phone. Plz give me any info about the this thanks!

its not a defective phone mine does it too. I think a lot of phones do this though, my last phone LG5250 used to go to full immediately after plugging it in.

Leme gues, while using it it drops down to one bar...when you are done it pops back up to 2, 3, or 4. Sounds about right? Don' worry. TRhe real question is, when fully charged, ie when it says chatge complete, how much talk time do you have? 2-3 hours? good, 3+ hours? fantastic! less than 2 hours? you got problems.

I get around 2 and a half hours talk time and about 3 days standby time depends on the network signal. I do like my phone alot just wish it was a lil bit louder volume on the speaker phone. Also my phone makes a squeeking noise when flip open and held firmly to the ear. does anyone had this problem? thanks

lol, when i first read your post I was like how is a sanyo 6200 squeaking?! I thought you had huge problems with your phone! but then i remembered you had the 8600. My phone does not have that squeaking problem, my old LG did but I think it was just from over use that the flip got looser and looser.

You might be holding it to your ear a little too tightly to your ear?
Try being gentler and see what happens.

That sounds fine for batery life on that phone.

well I did that and still does it. I guess its normal for a filp phone to do that because of opening and closing I dont mind the squeeking noise as long as it doesnt' break off on me.
