Is it plugged in to the mains or plugged in to the USB port on a PC or similar device?

I believe a phone will charge quicker if plugged in to the mains, and is slower if plugged in elsewhere.

Forever in my book means more than 10hrs
There's a lot of complaints around the web for slow charging of this model - though none are quite as slow as yours!
You might want to try it on a 2Amp charger rather than the one that came with it. Also, make sure that it is not somewhere very warm (like on a windowsill in the sun), as apparently there is a thermal limiter which will slow down the charging rate if it gets too warm.
Have you overcharged it? Ie. Leaving it charging overnight or carrying on charging when it’s at 100%?

If so you’ve killed your battery, get a new battery or pay for it to be replaced is the only way.

Ive never overcharged it. I normally charge it for 2 hours max.
So being 2 months old. The battery shud be under warranty?
Question Author
