Samsung S4 taking most of the day to charge

Anonymous
Not applicable

Had my S4 back in September 2014. Started having problems with battery expansion in March 2015, contacted samsung (I had a faulty battery) battery was replaced all was well. This last week I've noticed the battery is taking forever to charge. If someone could please suggest some ideas (hopefully I've added something I shouldn't?), I don't think it's the battery again, could it be the wall charger? Any info gratefully received TIA

Have you updated to Lollipop yet?
If not, you should do as Kit Kat did have an issue with slow charging.
Alternatively, when you put it on charge, put it on Airplane Mode and see if it charges faster - this would then indicate that some app was keeping the processor running too much.

I would be inclined to try airplane mode too and if no success, definitely try another charger.

Hi everyone, I've checked the actual battery and it's not bulging. Put phone in aeroplane mode and it made no difference, tried a different charger and it's still charging at 1 per cent every 10 mins. How do I check which operating system the phone is using. Thanks

Thanks M15 did that but doesn't say whether it's lollipop or kit kat, says it's got no more updates to do?
