Android phones are known for long-lasting battery
capacity irrespective of how many processes you
are running at the same time, the battery life
shouldn’t be an issue. But it could be really confusing
when you discover your android phone not charging
when connected to your charger only for your battery
percentage to remain at the same level for hours or
in fact drop steadily.
The problem occurs in various ways, either your
phone won’t charge when it is plugged in, or it only
charges very slowly (sometimes barely faster than
it is discharging). It’s a very common complaint,
and I recently encountered this issue with my
blackberry 9790.
Am very certain you must have thought of “Why is
my Android phone not charging or discharging
despite being connected to a power source?”
Lets see the obvious reasons below:
Insufficient power source : If you’re charging
using a PC (via USB cord) or from a faulty power
source then this is possible.
Bad USB port: A loose, cracked or broken phone
USB port could be a cause.
Bad charger: If the charger is faulty or not
powerful enough then you can expect something
like this.
ROM Issues: If you flashed a custom ROM /
Firmware upgrade with power efficiency bugs
then you have another possible reason.
Heavy Usage During Charging: If you’re running
processor / battery intensive processes during
charging then you have another possible cause
Bad battery: Some batteries have problems
retaining charge after extensive use.
Some of you may have suffered from a phone that
won’t charge properly and probably rushed out to
buy a new charger to fix it, well, you are wrong.
What if the issue isn’t the charger? and the actual
issue is your phone battery.

Below are 100% tested and trusted ways based on
my experience and am very certain it would work

even though it’s plugged to power source, first
action is to:

making firm contact

being 100% certain you need to, so you don’t waste
your money and time.
