Chances are your phone charger does not put out enough current to charge the battery. And some PCs also have issues with being able to supply enough current.
Yes, there is a "charge from computer" selection on the camera that has two settings, Auto and OFF. Make sure it is set to Auto.
Also, in your manual - read up on charging from computer. There are some situations where certain software will prevent the camera from charging. Mostly photo software that is used to transfer files from the camera via USB will often disallow charging while in the photo-transfer mode.
When you use a USB port on your computer, make sure you are not sharing that port with other devices. If there is a hub, disconnect it and connect the camera directly to the computer. That way, the camera can get all of what little current the USB port may be able to supply.
Your camera is a high powered device - and requires more current than a phone. Some computers may not supply enough current from the USB port to charge youhttp://www.helpowl.com/q/Nikon/COOLPIXS4000/Technical-Support/nicon-s4000-wont-charge/531819r camera. Or at the very least, it may require many hours to charge your camera's battery from the computer.
Otherwise, I would not call your problem solved until you order a replacement charger designed for your camera.
