probably the charger. It's basically a transformer stepping 120volts to what? 5.5volts at 1 amp. Most likely what is happening is the charger is messed up and is sending too many volt amps to your phone. I doubt it is the actual wall outlet.. i mean if you lost a neutral somewhere you would see the phone literally smoking, so i doubt that is it. I guess it could be possible your pole transformer is sending a higher voltage to your house.. like 130 volts plus.. Your light bulbs burn out really fast?
