3a problem charging

[Fisherguy 01]

My wife's 2 year old 3A seems to have a charging problem. I've cleaned the port the cord plugs into numerous times but it's still very flaky charging when plugged in and turned on. Funny thing is as soon as you turn it off while still plugged in all the sudden it DOES charge?
The phone has not gotten wet.

I know it's a few models out of date but kinda sucks we need to think about a new phone just cuz of this charging problem.

You've also tried different cables? Does this also happen in Safe Mode?

What do you mean by flaky?

Have tried numerous cables and chargers, no difference.
Haven't tried it in safe mode, that's a bit of a hassle to do every time you want to charge it.

I mean you plug it in, nothing happens, sometimes putting the cord in the other way works, other times it doesn't work either way. Sometimes you plug it in and you hear the notification that it's charging, then it doesn't, then you hear the sound over and over like an intermittent connection. Flaky.

Safe Mode would be a troubleshooting step, not a solution. If the problem goes away in Safe Mode, that would suggest something you installed is interfering. It's unlikely, but worth testing.

Ya, that's what I'm thinking. I live in a small town, no one here does that and not something I wanna tackle myself...

Have you tried different outlets, just to be sure?

Ya, different AC outlets, different power supplies, different cords.
Mailing it off to the hospital tomorrow.
