I have had my Samsung Galaxy S5 for about 3 months now and I've noticed since yesterday that charging it has gone from a one/one and a half hour chore to a three/four hour chore. The USB 3.0 chargers I have for it work fine, it's just that the phone itself don't charge so fast. Does anyone know why this would be the case?
Have you tried other usb cable/power brick combos? Sometimes a cable or charger can go bad and cause this to happen.
They are the same age as the phone so I don't know how they would go bad that fast barring some weird issue. I did try chasing it with a toothpick. I'll see if that fixed it. Anther charger worked after doing that so it maybe the combo which as I said barring some freak issue or tampering with the USB head, it wouldn't be going bad this soon.
It was apparently the charger port, swopped ports to an older one and it weighed like a charm.
