    • Hi, please try to backup all of your important data, then do hard reset or master format your Lenovo A369i, after reformat finish, then do not install anything, just try to charging your phone, usually the battery will reach 100% more faster then before. Why this is happen, because if your phone already install with several applications, some of them will consume battery more for specific work like connect to Internet or something like that, therefore your Lenovo A369i input and output charging will work together and make slowly to reach 100%.
