Help Battery Charging

Anyone having a hard time with the battery charging? Mine is taking 7 to 7 1/2 hours to charge!!! That is wayyyy to long. It's taking that long whether the phone is turned on or off....anyone have any suggestions??
 
mine takes about 3-4 hours to charge from ~30% to 100%. However, i've noticed that the phone takes forever to get from 99 to 100%, and it never stays at 100% for very long. in fact, my battery life is pretty poor from 100->90, then gets better from there.
 
That's way too long, try a different charger if you have one available. It should put out at least 1000 ma, computer usb ports and cheap chargers are only 500 ma. If that doesn't work contact Virgin and have them replace it.

That's quite normal with all li-ion batteries.
 
got to work at 830 with 30 percent battery. plugged in OEM charger and cable, at my first break at 10 when i unplugged i was sitting pretty at 87
 
I am using the charger that came with the phone

I know, that's why I suggested trying a different charger to try and diagnose if it's phone, battery or charger related. You have to start somewhere and a lot of people have a spare charger laying around.
