It’s showing just 1% charge and no lightning icon on, but otherwise works for browsing. What gives?

No, that’s a 3 month-old cord, still works particularly on PC. The unit just doesn’t show charge progress, but I did a 3-lap stint on Real Racing 3 (intensive on a phone that old) and it still kept up.

The thing was that whenever I plugged in on sleep, the big battery icon comes up empty. It doesn’t show percentage charge on the lock screen.

No that’s the thing—I’m waiting for a new phone to arrive from the UAE either tomorrow or next week.

iPhone 4S? I’m going with a wasted battery.

Hardly. Literally whole morning it was working fine, one percent loss every five minutes. Now it’s stuck at 1% indicated and I’m not sure if it’s real. No lightning icon either.
