She started freaking out because my phone worked fine and hers wasn't, so I did the chivalrous thing, we swapped phones, I got the "broken" phone and we headed to the Sprint Repair Center. Standing in line, I popped the battery out and noticed the contacts didn't look right. She bent at least one of them attempting to put the battery in backwards/upside down. Using either a knife, pen, needle, or tweezers, (don't remember...) I pulled the offending contact out slightly and didn't need (or want) the repair center to look at it and it's worked fine since.

i did the exact same thing and thought the exact same answer but convinced myself id just make it worse if i tried to preform even basic surgery on it. This post convinced me to do it and it worked perfect. much thanks
