Such issues are often associated with the use of aftermarket chargers/cables that in the long run tend to damage an IC called Tristar, handling a number of tasks together with the charging and power ICs. It can be fixed but requires microsoldering as it’s a component replacement repair.

Well, it might be a charger issue. Or maybe a hardware issue. Try soft resetting ur phone.

What is the amperage of the charger? It sounds like it’s not recieveing enough power to charge while powered on, but the lowered power usage when it’s off allows it to charge. I had the same thing happen trying to charge my LG Leon with the power supply for my smartwatch, which is only rated at half the amperage.

My iphone won’t charge unless it fully dies. It’s not the charger because it works fine with other devices. This phone used to be able to be charged anytime without dying. I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
