Q: iphone 4s still loses battery percentage when on charge, after iOS 8 update?

I have the iPhone 4s and have recently updated to the new iOS 8. My battery and charging has been relatively well up until this point. Since the update, my phone no longer lasts for 4 hours usage, and if i'm using it while it's on charge, it will still lose battery percentage instead of charging to a higher percentage. I have tried restarting my phone, closing all apps and background activity and turned on airplane mode, and somehow it takes over 8 hours to charge to 100%, which isn't worth it because it will drop before 4 hours of usage. I have noticed using my computer to charge instead of the wall unit helps to increase charging speed slightly yet not dramatically. i have tried all the troubleshooting steps like restarting my phone, allowing it to completely run flat before charging to 100% and nothing has worked. I don't understand because my iPhone was perfectly fine before the iOS 8 update. Please help

iOS 8
