Galaxy S5 not charging efficiently?

Well I've had my Galaxy S5 for around a week now. The only thing is, the battery charges super super slow whenever I have it plugged into a usb 2.0 or similar port. It even LOSES battery when I charge it. Is there a way to fix this?

    Don't charge on your computer. Use wall charger and charge at night.

    Every samsung phone does this at some point, i do not know why.

    Simple fix. Use a different charger. If that doesnt work:

    Shut the phone off, pull the battery for 5 minutes, put battery back in and plug phone in. Keep phone off for that first initial charge. It should fix it.
