Thanks for all the responses. I believe have a GTA02v5, but there's no identifying mark to say which version. As for purchasing an additional battery or a battery charger, that is NOT a solution. That's a stop-gap. It's the same as purchasing a new car, finding the axle broke in your driveway ove

Hi, I wouldn't recommend this that you'd go and buy a Nokia battery to boot up your phone. IMHO the first thing that needs to be fixed is a wall charging thing, with Qi/u-boot. You do get Taiwan made fake batteries for 30 INR (0.6 $) but they may explode, and I wouldn't recommend it. -Karthik
