Few things are more annoying than plugging in your phone ā and watching it charge painfully slow. ā” At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we see this problem every day, and in most cases, itās caused by simple issues that can be fixed without replacing your device.
Dust or debris in the charging port
Faulty cable or adapter
Background apps draining battery
Outdated software or battery calibration
Charging with a low-power source (like a laptop or car USB)
Battery aging or internal damage
Generic or cheap adapters often deliver less power. Always use manufacturer-approved accessories.
Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove lint or debris blocking the connection.
Streaming, gaming, and navigation apps can slow down charging. Close them before plugging in.
This reduces background power use and helps the battery charge faster.
Heavy use generates heat and slows the charge rate. Let it rest for best results.
Software bugs sometimes affect power management ā keep your OS up to date.
If your phone still charges slowly after these fixes, there might be a deeper issue such as:
A failing battery
