I received a brand new phone and it was pretty dead. I put it on changed and left it there for an hour or so and checked it and it had a black plug icon.. the bar wasn't full, I unplugged it and plug it back in and a few minutes later it happened again.. I don't know if it's the charger I'm using or the socket in my phone.

Can anyone help please?

It could be either of those issues. Are you using the original charger?

[2c]

you are using original theme or custome theme?

Remove the battery and put it back in.

Can your computer see the phone if connected?
If yes, try to upgrade your phone software with BB Desktop Manger and try again.

I've removed the battery quite a lot..

Yes, the computer sees the phone and how do you update the software?
