Hiya mate, thanks for the input .. ok so the charging situ got worse and worse while airplane mode never helped .. so yesterday morning after having the iP plugged into the charger all night it was down to 1%, I took it back to the place I bought it they tested it and told me my old fashioned charger was at fault, that I must purchase a new cable and a "brick" charger for 37$, which is a lot cheaper than buying a new iPhone.
So I did that and when I plugged it in it worked like a beauty, it took just about 2 hrs to go from 1% to 100% .. ok so we got that fixed, the other problem is when I start up there can be up to about 9 minutes of false starts and "Aw Snaps" before we get a secure connection, not so many when it is at 100% but it still happens .. the day I brought the device home 4 yrs ago it did the same and nearly drove me mad .. the consensus on the i'net is "just persevere" there is no quick fix .. cheers :)
