Why won't my phone charge?

Question

All of a sudden my phone won't hold a charge for barely anytime. And then when I plug it in for the most part it will if anything keep the charge at the percent it's at or will increase EXTREMELY slow. But the lightning bolt next to the battery is always on but usually doesn't do anything just is dying. This started outta nowhere and was working just fine right before this. Anybody know what's new going on? And can I do anything?

Answer

Go to an auto parts store and see if they have charger cords. They usually do. They are about twice the price and they are much better than what you have been getting.

Answer

My cord did the same thing last week. There is a short in the wire. You are going to need a new cable. They aren't built to last unfortunately. I'm replacing cords every 2nd or 3rd month

Answer

charging problems can often be something as simple as a dirty charging port. When your phone lives in your pocket, it's bound to pick up a little dust and lint, and every time you plug in your cable, you pack that lint in a little tighter.
