Arrow OS 5.0 Phone Powering Off *FIX*

After installing 5.0 on my 8350i, Like many... I had MANY problems.

One being that my phone would randomly shut down even with 3/4 battery and I would have to pull the battery or plug it in to get it to power on.

I downgraded and Installed 4.6 313,

Now instead of it randomly powering off, The battery would drain so quickly that it would just say "Battery too low for Radio Use" which.. is basically the same thing as powering it off as you can't use anything on it.

my friend who downloaded os 5 as well had the same problems, including when he downgraded. My phone isn't under warranty and I have had it since 09 SO we decided to just get new batteries and see if that would fix it. And thus... behold it did.

SO...the question is.. what is it about 5.0 that is screwing our batteries up? I thought it was just coincidence that my battery would go bad at the same time, until my friend's 83 did the same thing after the upgrade.


Anyways, the point of this post is: Don't think your phone is screwed up if it's still randomly shutting down and you no longer have warranty. Just replace the battery


I'm considering buying an extra battery and reloading os 5.0 and see if adding the new battery after will help... not sure
