slow charging

It's almost a month now since I bought my z1, yesterday I updated my phone to kitkat. But since update I am facing this problem, my phone is charging really slow. And also it is getting heated up like **bleep**. It takes nearly 1hour to charge even 10 % and contrastingly it is charging really fast when it is switched off..... Any suggestions????

I suggest you force shutdown the phone(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates 3 times).Connect to wall socket and let it charge.Turn it on.

Wall socket charging is of any benefit???

Wall socket charger that comes with the phone has a 1 Amp+ rating and it charges faster than the USB cable connected to computer's USB port.

You should only connect with the adapter that comes with the phone and the USB,nothing else.
