I bought a generic Mini-USB wall charger off eBay and plugged it into my phone. As soon as I did, the phone started behaving strangely. The interface would lag and the touch screen could barely interpret any of my input. I left it charging for a couple hours because I really needed to charge it. It started getting a little warm so I unplugged it and haven't used the charger since. The problem now is that the battery discharges in about 2 hours even with little to no usage. Also, the phone itself becomes warmer than usual when plugged in to the OEM charger I purchased as a replacement to the generic. I figured the charger destroyed my battery so I replaced it with a new one, but I'm still having the same problem.
So my questions are these:
1) Did the generic charger permanently damage the hardware in my phone so that I must now replace it?
2) Is it possible that the issue is due to corruption of the phone's power management software and that it could be resolved by a factory reset?
3) Are there any possible fixes you can think of?Despite its shortcomings, I like this phone and would rather not replace it. However, I am due for a discount with a 2-year contract renewal with Verizon and am open to replacing it if there are no other options available.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!
TL;DR - I plugged my phone into a generic charger and now the battery drains in about 2 hours. Battery replacement and new charger did not fix the issue. What now?
