iPhone Issues: Slow Recharge for Dead Battery

If Blackberry wants material for their next commercial, I have the perfect anti-iPhone anecdote.

On two different occasions during the past couple weeks, I became a victim of the iPhone's slow recharge speed.  I was spilling my guts and emphasizing a crucial point during a pivotal conversation with a "friend" (the controversial  word which prompted my call in the first place) when my phone died. I knew my power was draining, because that annoying indicator told me, but I figured I could plug it in and get back to business- Nope.

Two-hours later, my phone was still in the "Red" zone, and I was still in the 'Friend' zone. I couldn't even access the home screen to text. Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper. (The fire was definitely out.)

Have you ever rambled on about a certain point or topic, only to hear silence on the other end?  It usually goes like this:

Anyway, I know I talked your ear off, but I just had to get some things off my chest....(silence) What? Now you don't have anything to say? Hellllo?

At that point,  you realize your phone died somewhere in the middle of your rant, but you have NO idea what point of your rant it was. So they could have heard anything from  the first five seconds to the most critical segment of your speech. Thanks to iPhone, I'll never know!

Last night, I used all my battery life, and now I'm starting to wonder if it's a phone problem or charger problem, because it was still in the red when I woke up this moning. I want fellow iPhone owners to tell me how long it takes to recharge your phone, and if you have your own story, feel free to share it with me.

Yes, its true. when your battery drains and the iphone turns itself off, then shows the recharge symbols it takes me more than 24 hours to recharge my phone. i know this is NOT NORMAL. I have 3 jailbroken iphones and they all do the same. i can leave it plugged in for hours and it will turn on when it feels like it. I have rebooted my iphones in the past and the problem still occurs. I even got a new iphone as replacement from Apple and this still occurs. It usually occurs when my battery is already low and i continue using the iphone until it turns off. I HATE THIS!!!! APPLE HELP!!!
