I flew 2518 miles for Turkey. Last night My Samsung S4 mini decided she no wanted to charge battery. I noticed at 22% SOC.
I had USB power meter with me, It showed 0.00 amps. My other USB devices worked normally showing expected amperages. I have been careful with micro USB receptacle, It does not appear loose. Micro USB cables tight, quality, cared for, blemish free. Magnifying glass reveals nothing obvious.
Deoxit gold g5 lubes/cleans/refreshes terminals somewhat regularly..
It appeared phone just did not want to charge battery.
Soft reboot. nothing
CAshe delete reboot. nothing.
COnnector wiggle finesse, no change at all.
It made the plugged in/ charging sound. The battery icon had the lightning bolt through it indicating charging, but percentage screen crept downward. USB meter showed 0.00 amps
Stress.
Flight day after tomorrow.
Am Used to using phone as boarding pass. Music at proper volume through headphones mostly obscures screaming children. Printing boarding pass in sister's house could prove a tool throwing curse fest. I Don't check bags, right to security, don't want to print at airport.
Batteries + stick and brick. Overpriced duracell replacement in stock. Check for charging in store. No charging, but employee's Samsung phone showed 1.21 amps. Kept overpriced battery (42.59$) for travelling, turned off phone, but forgot to press OK/Cancel after turn device off.
Drove back to sister's. Plug in phone, presented with cancel/OK screen. Pressed cancel.
Look at USB meter. 0.98 amps flowing.
Who freaking hoo!!
I will be purchasing an wall plug in style external battery charger for $8.49 for when it happens again. Can't really buy one in any stick and brick.
Mex!

If you come a bit NOB next time, Deoxit Gold G5 awaits your s3 micro USB terminals, after d5 of course, if required.
