- Q4Why is there no battery charging icon indicated on my phone when I plug it to the charger?
Once the battery hasn't been used for a long time, it is probably that the battery had been over discharged. In this case, the phone would have no charging indicator when you plug it to the charger, which doesn't mean the battery is broken. You can charge it for at least 10-30 minutes and see if there is anything changing. If the same symptom persists, the battery may really fail, please send it to our repair center.
