iPhone 5s SLOW charging all of a sudden
Hi all,
I have had my iPhone 5s for about a month now and this problem only started two days ago. Well night to be precise. I usually charge my phone at night and when I woke up at like 4am and quickly checked my phone, I noticed it was only just on 98%. Anyway since then it is taking forever to charge. I have cleaned out the charger port thing which was pointless as there's nothing in it and like I said it's a new phone. I tried using my iPad lead and charger and still the same, slow slow slow. What is causing this!? I even deleted 2 or 3 apps. I plug the cable in, it has the green charger thing with the strike in it, yet the number isn't actually going up!? Oddly enough it occasionally goes DOWN even on charge!? wtf |

Reboot it first. Hold down the sleep/wake (top button) and the home button at the same time and keep them held down until you see the Apple logo.
If you've tried the genuine charger it came with and using the Lighting to USB lead that came with the phone (not a pound store, or eBay clone) - and you've tried another adaptor (iPad charger) and you are still getting the same problem - call Apple. You get 90days of help for free with new phones, or take it to an Apple Store if you have one reasonably close. |

Thanks for the reply.
As a test I asked my friend at work if I could borrow their charger (it was a slightly different charger, bulkier..higher wattage or something..I'm crap with this stuff lol!) and my phone went to 100% in about 15 minutes. Yet on the THREE plugs I have at home, it either gets stuck on a certain percentage, doesn't charge at all, or even more oddly DOES charge (when it feels like it). I then used the USB to iPhone in my laptop and it charged fine. So Do I need a new plug or what? I'm so confused lol I hate this techy stuff |
