Charging Problems

[ariee]

Hey all,

My Droid Eris will charge from about 20% to 100% in a matter of 1-3 hours- it's always quite fast!

Last night, my phone was at 20% when I went to sleep at about 12am and when I woke up at 6am it was only at 40%. The phone felt very hot. I took it off the charger and put it in another plug. It is now 4pm and the phone is only at 80% and at times feels hot.

I checked out the cord and there are no lesions or breaks or any visible problems w/ the cord.

I'm not sure what's going on- any thoughts?

I'm going to take it to the VZW store to obtain an understanding.

It's only been 3-4 months that I obtained the phone...

Thanks all,
A

Probably a bad battery if it's getting hot like that.

did you try turning off and restarting the phone? a reboot does wonders sometimes.
