Please charge the phone for atleast 12 hrs initially and keep the power button pressed for a minute and then release. The phone takes a few minutes to start up. Also if you phone is on the charging wire please take it off charge and then try. Also check if the terminals have not got a small tape on them. Please check with both battery if needed.

hi i bougth one too but as soon as i got it i try to charged it, it charged but when i tryied on my phone it didn't work, i pluged it again for 24 hours put it back on my phone didn't work either and when i was just about to trew it away i discovered that the on button has to be press until it start charging the phone, besides when you chaged and unplug it, you have to be sure it's off otherwise you waste your charge and time. im from colombia south america living there, so i hope i was useful and hope it ll work for you, best wishes

I don't know about your particular problem but I received a bad battery. The phone would show 5% and charging and after a few minutes would say it was fully charged but the phone would not boot up. I returned the bad battery and ordered another one from the same vendor. The new battery worked fine. Not sure if this is any help but wanted to share my experience.

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.

Getting the same issue on mine. Red light never goes off while charging (overnight), and then won't ever turn on using the power button. I've used this model of a friend's, so I know how they work. But these are simply broken, as near as I can tell.

Got the same problem. Going to try a different battery. If it happens again, I will try the recommended "reset" instructions to see if that works. We should not have to do this if hundreds of other people are not having to "reset" their battery/phone.

Hi- If the base of the Accessory handset is getting electricity, and charging, a red light should go on showing that to be the case. If you're not seeing a red light, make sure the outlet you have the cord plugged into is a working outlet. Maybe move the handset to a different plug to see if this helps. If still no light, it's possible that either the charging cord is no good. OR- the battery inside the phone may have gone bad. If none of this helps, I would suggest you call Uniden directly for advice. But these are the things I could think of off the bat.... Hope this is helpful.....

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

Same thing has happened to me. What I did was wait and tried again, held power button down. I also made sure charge was full. When u plug in charger there is a small red light. Be worried if the red light doesn't show

My recommendation is to return it to Amazon for credit or new phone. Question can you answer calls on phone if not it may not be plugged in properly check that prior to returning it. Dale Starks

same thing happened to me and it's past the return date. I unplugged the unit and removed the battery and then it worked....for a few days and now it's back at it again....won't charge my phone.

Try holding the power button down for 10 - 15 secs. My daughter's Nabi would not turn on this morning after charging all night and this worked for me. Hope this isn't a frequent issue.....

I haven't had that problem. Take it to a carrier store and ask them to try a new battery. It may just be a "bad" phone. We've always had a Gravity as far back as when they first came out. Best dumb-phone out there.

Check your owners manual to see what should happen when charging. If not try a quick Bing or Google search for the exact model # online and believe me people in most cases will have similar questions and many times good answers above and beyond owners manuals. Again if there is a charging problem make sure you take it into the carrier store in your area to have them check it before something happens due to a defect.

Is the phone still working? Mine did that for a couple days then shut down. I ordered the original motorola battery and my battery life is better than originally! Does that answer your question?

Make sure to charge the phone upon receipt for five hours at least. Before charging try to wipe the battery contact wires and the phone units contact wires with a clean dry cloth. Then charge. If, after that, it still does not turn on it may be possible that you have a dead battery (common), a bad charger or, worst case, faulty phone charging cell. In my experience Nokia's is very good (and kind) in reponding to warranty issues.
