I've been trying to drain the battery before i recharge it b/c apparently that's what you are supposed to do every once in awhile. Well, this phone shuts off when the batteries are low. Nothing new. Except, when you turn it on, it immediately says low battery and shuts off again. and again. and again. There is NOTHING i can do to keep it on. so, what is the point of saving a little battery if the phone is absolutely, 100% useless. It's counter intuitive and bordering on retarded.
