My girlfriend has an env3 phone and found out that her kindle fire charger also works for the phone.It charges the phone but when she plugs it in the phone gives her a message saying the charger is not for that phone. She started using the kindle charger for her phone once in a while out of convenience then after while she left her official phone charger somewhere so she could use it when she's there and she'd use the kindle charger at home. About 95% of the time she uses the kindle charger.
She's been using the kindle charger, almost exclusively, for about 6 months now on a daily basis. About 4 months ago she noticed that the battery wasn't holding it's charge as long as it should, although it wasn't bad. Then and bout a month or so ago the phone started shutting off when the battery still had charge. She turns on the phone and it works for a while then shuts off… maybe an hour or so between shut-offs. She gets about 70% out of the battery's charge she should but she has to keep turning the phone back on about every 30minutes to an hour and it's getting worse.
Could using the kindle charger have damaged the battery and getting a new battery and only using the official charger for that phone solve the problem?
