The mobile managed to start charging around 1pm today, its now 6pm and its roughly 3/4 charged in power.

I took my phone out of the charger about 30 mins ago - the charger is in a drawer now, but the power bar has now started moving up and down again! lol. So Im no longer going to be able to trust the power bar as a sign of really starting to charge at all.

Im wondering if I had not updated my phone, if I would have any of these power problems at all. The phone is still functioning fine aside from the phone struggling to charge. From now on Ill try and stick to charging it via a computer instead of its main adapter, and see if that brings up any similar issues
