Go through your phone’s battery usage and disable background battery usage for apps that you barely use. This reduces the amount of power available to charge your battery. Background apps are the holes in your smartphone energy from your charger will simultaneously charge your battery and power background activities.

It’s just like trying to fill a bucket with holes.

Having too many apps running in the background will cause your phone’s battery to drain faster and charge sluggishly. Also, you shouldn’t clean the port with sharp metal objects like needles, pins, or paper clips. Water vapor from your breath can corrode the port and cause serious damage to your phone. Note: Avoid blowing air into the charging port with your mouth. That’s safer and recommended by many smartphone technicians. Better yet, use a can of compressed air to clean the port. Be as gentle as you can, so you don’t push the particles further into the port.

If you find particles on the metal contacts in the charging port, use a toothpick or a soft brush to carefully get them out. Phone cases may further reduce wireless charging speed, so make sure you remove the case before placing your device on the wireless pad. A wireless charging pad will charge your phone relatively slower than a cable. One of these limitations is the slow charging rate. Wireless charging technology is cool and fancy, but it has several shortcomings. Try using a different USB cable and power adapter, but make sure it has the recommended amperage (or higher) to charge your phone. If your phone doesn’t ship with a charger, make sure you purchase an authentic charger from an authorized store. Or charging accessories that your smartphone manufacturer recommends. It is recommended to always use the charging accessories that ship with your phone out-of-the-box.

Examine your USB cable and check for external damages. A good power adapter + a bad USB cable will charge your phone just as slow as a bad power adapter + a good USB cable. This is a common reason phones charge slowly.
