Charging issue

[samurikuma1971]

So its been 6 hours and my phone hasnt reached 100% yet. Tried all the obvious fixes battey saver, killing apps, and all that. Been getting worse over last month or so. Help me Android Central....your my only hope.

Sounds like your battery is on it's way out.

True. Only problem is charging. My phones 4 months old this month. Wonder if I bought a new charger?????

How much charge is it showing?

 

[samurikuma1971]

Started with about 20% when I went to bed, had about 76% when I got up. No data connection after 5 minutes screen off and all that.

Is this using the Wall Charger or USB from the computer. It could be a faulty charger.

Using wall charger, I had no problem charging when my phone was running on ICS, It all started after updating to jellybean.

Wall charger. I let phone die last night and pluged it in at about 10:45 by 4:40 this mornng I had 85%. Faulty charger is what I was thinking also. Will get a universal one and see if it helps.

Is your phone running on ICS or jellybean?

Im doing Jelly. Have since I bought phone.

Bought a different charger. Seems to have done the job.

Glad you got it sorted.

This does not sound like the phone. Most likely either the battery or charger. If it is the battery most likely the battery will be swollen and will not hold a charge long. If it is only taking a long time to charge i would suggest a new charger.
