Phone charging very slowly
4.5
The phone takes 5+ hours to reach a full charge, or barely gains percentage while in use.

- Heat while charging
- Battery drain > Charge rate
Possible Causes
- Low wattage adapter

Step-by-Step Fix
1
Use Original Charger
Switch to a high-wattage (20W+) PD or QC charger.
2
Clean Charging Port
Remove lint that might be preventing a solid connection.
3
Turn Off Screen
Charging is much faster when the device is not being used.
When to See a Technician
Charging from a computer USB port is limited to 0.5A, which is very slow for modern phones.
