check if the adaptor warm or not, if it's not. then the problem is in the adaptor. get a new one.
if the adaptor is warm, check the mini usb cable, see if it's properly plugged. unplug and plug.
if still not working, feel the battery, if it's not warm, then the battery is dead, buy a new one.
if it's warm, maybe it's overheat.
go find somewhere cooler (right down of an air conditioner, or a fan). wait until your battery a bit cooler, and charge your phone.

while doing this, stop or pause any application or update that's taken place within your phone

if after the battery is cooler and your phone is not charging, well then. time to replace the phone :)
 


The adapter not being warm can easily be an issue in the phone's charging circuits, or any of a dozen other places...

This really isn't that useful.
