Default battery charge taking a long time

The last few times I've charged my battery it's taken forever. I don't use my phone while it's charging and a minimal amount of apps are running in the background. This morning it took an hour for the battery to get from 68% to 78%. At that rate it would take practically all day to get a full charge.

I charged it though the wall outlet, not through the computer's usb port.

anyone else have this issue? Charging had been pretty quick up until a couple days ago. Come to think of it, I think this started the other day after I let the battery die all the way overnight.

Now when I try to charge it won't get past 82%. Tried to upload a pic but it wouldn't let me. Just stayed at 82% for about 90 minutes.

I've found the quickest way to charge the phone is to use the stock HTC charger (coming from a wall outlet) with brightness set to 0% and phone on standby.

It doesn't charge as fast as say, the iPhone, but it's still quicker then every Samsung device I've owned.

I am coming from the iphone and it takes a ridiculous long time to charge. Very annoying if you run out of battery and just want a quick 5min charge to get you some more minutes of usage.

No, I didn't flash another rom.

What's weird is that until recently it charged pretty quickly.

This pic shows how it wouldn't charge past 82% yesterday.

That's not normal, if you're stock. Were you using the supplied HTC charger? The only thing I can think of is you were using another USB charger and it wasn't supplying enough voltage. I notice that when I'm at work and I use my Kindle's charger, my phone takes longer to charge than when at home on the HTC-supplied charger.

Outside that, I'd say contact your carrier and get it swapped. Mine will charge from almost zero to full in about 2 hours on the HTC-provided charger.
