I randomly fixed it by trying to plug/unplug the cable and at some point that battery with the flashing plug changed color to green disappeared.

Found the problem(S)
Like people on the other website, the issue is the copper piece on the batteryis not contacting with the phone. That's why the battery icon shows only when its plugged in and nothing at all when its not plugged in. All the complaints I read on the internet has just one problem. It just happens I got two on this phone.........
1) I had to use a tiny needle to bend the copper piece out to ensure its making contact with the phone
2) after I bent the copper piece, the battery is still not contacting right, (you can't really tell by looking at it, I was just trying everything people were saying on the web. I spent hours on it and I got it !!!) I had to cut a business card to slide it underneath the battery. (2 business card thick). If u have same problem, u should try one card thick first.
Now the back cover feels like its swelling cuz of the business cards, but comparing to a $600+ phone, this $99 phone I can do everything I need it to, I can deal with that. Just wish I could have found the problem(s) sooner.
Hope this will help people with the same problem
