feliciabaird1995, this will be a guessing game until you disassemble your phone and take a look at the components. Like Alissa suggest, start with the battery and its connections.

If it was the charging port you wouldn't really be able to use it while it was on the charger... maybe check the battery connection.

more than likely it's your battery. In some cases the logic board could be at fault (have a bad capacitor - basically +/- battery terminals are connected due to the the bad capacitor)

I had the same problem. when I opened up the back It turned out that my battery was not connected right. Maybe that's the problem you've got.
