Phone Won't Charge!

[katelewis95]

My Samsung galaxy precedent won't charge. I'll plug it in and it takes awhile for it to recognize that it's even plugged in. Then when it realizes it's plugged in it says it's charging when it's really not. My battery is about to die and I 've turning it off, taking out the battery, making sure it's really plugged in, but nothing works. Then when I do take it off the charger sometimes it says it's still charging. Please help!

Had you yet a close look at the phone's and cable's microUSB connector for debris?

Yeah I cleaned it as suggested on another forum and it says it's charging but it's staying at 4%.

Could you try another battery? Slight change that the charger is the culprit, but I don't think so.
