When you left the phone charging overnight, but it was not plugged properly

Luckily fast charging gives me at least enough to make it half the day in the time it takes to get dressed.

Not too long ago I had bought a power bank, for a holiday, and since returning I've found myself occasionally using it when I've done something a bit worse than this: I've been so tired before bed, I've forgotten to even plug my phone in!
I think I've used the power bank, after waking up, more at home than on holiday.

I rolled over my charger end in my office chair. Now it’s 50/50 whether it’s charged in the morning. :(

Unfortunate that this won’t help Android users, but I had a trove of lint stuffed up my iPhone port, and the Apple Store cleaned it out for free.
- You can do that yourself with the sd slot opener they give you in your phone box.
  
  You can do it yourself with a toothpick or compressed air, but it often won’t get everything especially if it’s deeply packed. They apparently have special tools for it.
- Whenever I get some lint in my Android phone I just use my 100,000 PSI water cutter to spray a little water in there and it cleans the lint right out.

The USB port on my phone is getting a bit tired and doesn't properly hang onto a USB cable anymore, so I'm mostly charging it wirelessly now. Which in some circumstances can be a bit of a problem but the phone still works.
- Have you tried cleaning it? I had the same thing happening until I removed 1mm of dust at the bottom of my charging port

Having a phone that charges 0-100% in a little less than 30 minutes has really changed my charging habits lmao. I don't know this pain anymore

On the positive side, at least you didn’t electrocute yourself trying to charge a phone.
- Huh? How?

Happened to me this morning, nothing worse than a goddamn brick instead of a phone when you wake up (late for work)
- And voicemails from your boss and coworkers wondering if you're OK

I bought a $35 battery pack that has enough to get me at least one full charge, and I never worry about this anymore.

Its a blessing that where i live has chargers at every seat on the train. Plugged it into the fast charge and it was up to 50% when i got off from the 5% i started with.

When this happens to me 9 times out of 10 there is a build up of lint in the charging port.

When I plug in my phone but it drains faster than it charges.
- I have this while watching videos on the phone, it feels like the phone is in the ICU
  
  In my case I am not using the phone but hotspot is on with 5 clients.

Degoogle and you might not have to worry so much about battery life. I almost never have to charge mine overnight, just once every couple days when it gets low.
