Default Charger Woes.

Phone is about 2 months old. Ive been usually charging the phone at night. As of late my battery would go low and once i get a hold of a battery charger.

1.It would charge back to about 20-30% and it would appear to stop charging. Right away I notice that the charger is noticeably hot(with the phone being hot also). I tried to switch outlets to see if that would change and it didn't.

2. then I went to my USB charger and it looked like it would charge but I had it on the charger for like an hour and I saw no difference in battery life.

3. I used a car charger after that and saw no change also after having it on for like almost 1.5 hours

now I come home and use my wall charger that I had unpluged and with in ten minutes battery life went up and is charging like normal.


The phone is fine but this charging situation is very weird I dont think I have a bad charger or maybe I do? Has anybody had this situation before where there is inconsistent charging.

you've prolly already pulled battery and rebooted? I've noticed my BB charges much slower using USB connected to a laptop than with wall plug adapter.

is it true that it's bad to charge your battery all night because the battery will over charge and in the long run end up killing your battery?
