Might have been a bad car charger. Which one did you get/Where from?

it was my buddys car charger for his HTC Dash. The phone did feel surprisingly warm after i unplugged it, but didnt really think anything of it since its always a little warm after a good charge. The way the phones acting im pretty sure the batter fried. off to the sprint store tomorrow

Generally there is a protection fault in the battery if it gets to hot, after that it won't charge. Buy a recommened TP2 car charger for your phone and see if that works. Some chargers charge at different currents and such...Also try charging it at home on the wall charger and see if that works..if not...then buy a new battery.

when i hook it up to a wall charger the charging light will come on but its not charging. i hook it up to my computer and it will attempt to turn itself on every couple minutes but is not holding a charge. so yea im just gonna say the battery is a lost cause

Try this, I found this out from a Verizon Tech....take the battery out and put it on a smooth surface...and the twirl it one time....and see if it keeps going...if it keeps going your have a battery that is budging and needs to be replaced...if it stops withing 1/2 to 1 turn then its fine. Seems your battery has bit the bullet...I would also have the Sprint repair center take a look at it and see if they can diagnoise the issue.

Me thinks it was probably depressed about having to go back to work on Monday...I know I am :(

Hopefully you've tried removing the battery and leaving it out for a spell. Failing that, hopefully Sprint will see you right. Good luck.

Your TP2 committed suicide?

Wow.

Did it leave a note?

Was the tech cooking with an egg at the time? Because that seems like a test to see if an egg has been hard boiled, or is still raw.
