I recently have been using my Acer Liquid Zest for about a year, but over 2 months ago I realized that my charger stopped charging up my phone one day so I assumed that maybe my charger might be slow, but I soon realized that wasn't the case. So I decided to buy myself a new charger. It took me after using my 3rd charger that I realized that the problem wasn't the charger but it was probably the battery or the USB port. Over the months I found it really hard to charge my phone. It used to be able to charge up to 100% no problem, but now it takes almost 6 or 7 hours to fully charge my phone, and if I were to touch or move my phone, the light would disappear and it would stop charging. The only way to get my phone to charge now is to bend it, which I really shouldn't be doing since it will wreck the USB port, but there isn't much option. I could always get a new phone or try to contact customer service to fix it, but I don't have enough money currently at the moment to do so. I feel like that if I keep using my phone it's going to stop at a point where the phone might not be able to charge at all or that the battery might not work. Right now I don't know what options are available other than to get help or buy a new one. The last resort would probably be buying a new phone or paying to repair it, since that I don't have enough money to get a new one because of financial problems.
