Charging issue
S24 Ultra charging issue
My S24 Ultra is about 1 year old and has recently developed a strange charging issue. It only charges when the USB-C cable is inserted in one specific orientation. If I flip the cable over, the phone doesn’t detect the charger at all. I’ve tried multiple USB-C cables and the same thing happens, so I’m wondering if the phone’s USB-C port is the problem.
Previously, a full charge took around 1.5 hours. Over the last few days, it first increased to around 2.5 hours, and now it can take nearly 4 hours. When I plug it in, the estimate may initially show around 1 hour, but within a few seconds it jumps to 3–4 hours.
Could this be a damaged/dirty USB-C port, or could it be a charger/battery issue? If I continue charging this slowly, could it damage the phone or battery over time?
