Help! My phone's not charging properly.

Definitely sounds like the battery is dying.

In my (anecdotal, trial-and-error) experience, I have temporarily improved the ability of a battery to hold charge by playing around like this:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Fully charge it.
3. Unplug the charger and leave for 30 mins.
4. Check the battery %.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 so long as the % gets higher each time.
6. Turn on the phone.
7. Fully charge it.
8. Unplug cable and hope for the best.
9. Order replacement battery.

You missed a step there

Yes it felt like I needed a doctorate in IT just to follow the instructions. If it happens again I will be buying a new phone, not worth the hassle again.

Agreed.....
Trying to follow a 9 year old ethnic lad on Youtube drove me nuts so I went out & bought new phone.
