6800 right light on always

For some reason, starting last night, my Verizon 6800 had top right light turn on, and stay on. It was amber. I tried resetting the phone, no luck. I pulled the battery, and as soon as I plugged the battery in, the light came on. (phone was off). I plugged the phone into a charger (usb/laptop and wall) and the light turned red. I left it on overnight to charge anyway. Every few seconds, I saw a faint green light blink, as per normal behavior. The light is now yellowish and blinking green per the status light. I know when I call Verizon, they'll have no answers. So any suggestions.

Orange Solid = Phone Charging but not full
Orange Blink = Overheating and I think notification for text and voicemail
Red Solid = Something is attempting to charging but not charging
Red Blink = Low battery
Greenish On = Phone is done charging
Green Blink = Radio Check
Blue = Obviously bluetooth

I think that pretty much covers the LED indicators.

If you need more you can try out nueLED and see if in the documentation it mentions others..as it is a tool that lets you control the LED indicators.

My phone is unplugged with a solid green. If I pull the battery, and put it back in, (not turned on), the light comes on immediately.

Does it give battery low notification when the battery is low? (the red blinking)

Also, do you have a spare battery to test? it may just be the battery.

Sadly, no spare battery to test. I may try to head over to a vzw store and see if they have one. (doubtful). I may try to order one off ebay if I don't get any answers.
I was hoping someone had experienced this before and knew before I went crazy sorting it out.

Just call verizon you will probably get a free replacement if you have insurance. And if you bought the phone within a year a free battery is possible.

F***ing figures. I just canceled my insurance. Maybe it hasn't gone through yet.

Why would you cancel insurance. It provides a free replacement forever and if no replacements are available you get upgraded.

I was overpaying for a crap phone. Obviously I just learned my lesson. But the Verizon rep agreed to send me a replacement battery. I'm going to call back and see if I can get them to undo the insurance removal.

I wouldn't want an upgraded device, as they all require data plans, which I don't want.
Being that this was my 3rd replacement, the guy saw its only been a few months and had sympathy on me. I had to slightly argue that the 'refurb' phone could have damaged my battery, but he agreed and sent it right out.

they are usually very nice about replacements.
