Iphone 3GS will not charge via wall charger

My iphone 3GS (6 mouths old) will not charge using the wall charger, I recently updated my phone, could this be the problem?? I have two different apple wall chargers and neither of them will charge my phone. But when I used the chargers on my ipod Classic it works fine. I'm able to charge my phone using the usb port on my computer with no problem. Can anyone help me with this problem??

They need to fix this quick. i'm having the same trouble too.
My PC pops up "USB device not recognized"
My wall charger which came with the device i've been using since doesnt charge my phone.
all after updatin to ios7.
SOS!!!

3GS will not charge at all

My iPhone was working fine today, when I plugged it into my car charger it did not charge or even act like it was plugged in. When I got home I plugged it into a wall charger (apple product), then another (3rd party), then an ipad2 charger, still no reaction. I tried to also plug into the pc I sync and back it up to with the same result.
I have tried restarting the pc, checking for updates (software is up to date), hard reset, soft(?) wipe, and now a complete wipe of the phone. Now I am left with 11% battery and nothing on the phone.
Am I alone? I had updated to 5.1.1 in the last few days. The iPhone seemed to be functioning fine up until this happened. I have a backup on the computer from this morning but since I can't connect, I can't restore.

That is plan Z, for tomorrow. Thanks.
Was hoping someone had a easy fix.

My iphone 3gs will not charge after battery replacement

Hey
I've had an iPhone 3gs for almost two years now. Recently I shattered the screen and cracked the back. Last summer I broke my led screen and paid 250 to get a new phone from apple. To avoid this cost my dad decided to order parts online and fix it himself. He is one of those do it yourself dads. After watching tutorials and taking my phone apart he replaced the parts and put it back together (Parts included a new screen, a back, and a battery). Once we finished we plugged the phone in and what happened was that it would be stuck at the charging screen with a think red line. Every once in a while it attempts to turn on, the apple icon appearing but once it finished that it flashes my homepage and turns off. It constantly repeats this.
I've gone through a TON of pages but have had no success in finding a solution. We've tried rebooting my phone (it doesn't work), restarting my computer, multiple plug-ins, basically everything. When plugged in to a computer, iTunes is unable to detect my phone. Any other suggestions?
Any advice would be MUCH apprectiated. Thank you

Nevermind guys, figured out it was a fault in the battery. We took my old battery out of my old phone put it in, sure enough it worked:)

My iphone 3gs will not charge anymore help please!!!

At first it would only charge if i placed it in a specific way but now its not charging at all. Its brand new only got it a week ago and it had these charging issues out of the box. I cant go to a genius bar or use my warranty because i live in malawi a small country in africa where most people see an iphone as alien technology so please help a brother out!!

If your iPhone has a hardware problem and it sounds like it does, no one here can help.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty, which can be used in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple.

Just updated to 10.9.2 and now my computer restarts whenever I open up World of Warcraft. Never had an issue until now.

HI,
I just want to pop in and say I have the exact same problem.
I am using a late 2013 MBPr 13".
Before I updated to 10.9.2 the game run flawlessly, after that I have gone through a lot of trouble shooting with blizzard and ended up removing and reinstalling the game. Did not help at all.
The issue I am facing is that when I launch wow through the battle.net application, the game starts but the screen turns black but I hear the game sound in the background, when trying to change to window mode with CMD-M I get a kernel panic. Same if I try to CMD-TAB out from it I get a kernel panic.
This is highly frustrating.

My iPhone 3GS will not charge. What can I do?

When I plug my iPhone 3GS into my apple charger, it charges for about 15 seconds then says "charging is not supported by this accessory". What can I do? I have restarted my phone and tried to restore it but it won't stay connected long enough for me to dowload it, much less install it. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged. Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush. Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case. If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

Serious problems of late syncing... never had any issues until now

Updated all the latest software a few days ago. I am away from home on business, in a hotel room, and the way I keep my phone charged is plugged into my MBP overnight. It always works at home. Yes the MBP is plugged in. I wake up to find my iPhone at 20% power.
I unplug and plug it back it, it starts the sync, then my iPhone goes away (on the left side of iTunes) and the phone says "Sync in progress" but there is not syncing going on in iTunes, and the iPhone is no longer down the left hand side. I cancel sync on the iPhone, try again, same thing.
So I go to restore. It locks up the restore, while the iPhone says "RESTORING", iTunes stops and kicks the phone out of iTunes like during the sync.
I went through the steps to force the restore (holding home while plugging it in) and it wiped it fine, then I had a very difficult time getting it to backup the iPhone with an older backup. It overwrote my latest backup with a backup of no data, but I had one from September that was OK. Each time it tried to backup, same thing would happen, and phone would say "RESTORING" but iTunes would kick it out.
Tried restarting the computer, creating a new profile on the MBP, etc. What finally did it was just continually trying to force the backup, it finally kept the phone syncing and restored it properly.
Now when I got to plug 'er in to the MBP, it sees the phone, starts the sync, and then again kicks the phone out of iTunes and leaves "SYNC IN PROGRESS" on the iPhone. And of course it stops the charge process.
So *** did Apple do to iOS 4.2.1 or the new iTunes 10.1 (54) that totally botched the syncing process up?
For information, I have had this phone since January and have never had a single problem with it other then it locking up once a month after I got it and never since. It is an awesome phone, but this sync issue is beyond frustrating. The phone was not dropped, damaged or anything, and it has a hard case on it. Further, I had two different USB iPhone connectors that all do the same thing, in both USB ports on my MBP.
Thanks for any insight, hopefully Apple reads this. I am relatively computer savvy so I do not think this is OE.
Matt

Yes the MBP is plugged in. I wake up to find my iPhone at 20% power.
Is your MBP set to sleep automatically after a period of inactivity when connected to a power source?
So * did Apple do to iOS 4.2.1 or the new iTunes 10.1 (54) that totally botched the syncing process up?
Not sure. The syncing process has not been totally botched up or botched up in any way with my MBP and iPhone running the current iTunes version and iOS 4.2.1.
If the same occurs with a new computer login account and there is no change after downloading and re-installing the current iTunes version over the existing, there may be a problem with your iPhone.

HT4061 my iphone shows battery sign that need to be charged, will not charge and turn on

Iphone shows a battery symbol that need to be charge, but will not charge or turn on

Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My phone showed battery low sign when 10% was remaining. I put my phone on charging, it was showing charging sign and for a few minutes it showed USB sign ISO charging signal but very strange it was not actually charging as the battery was still running out. In few minutes my battery went to 1% and then my phone switched off and did not come back to life after that.
I tried Hard reset/ several different chargers/ restoring from I tunes but there is no response.
All it shows is a battery low sign and when I put it on charging, it only shows charging signal but do not actually charge as there is no change in the battery status. It shows the same red bar.....

I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
Sorry but that makes no sense at all. How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device? Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development. They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally). So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly. No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

Why did my charger already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now phone will not charge..only had it 2 months..what a disappointment so far..should have stayed with Apple..would like to get my money back. Terrible experience so far.

Why did my charger from Verizon already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now the phone will not charge..what a disappointment and a hassle..should have stuck with Apple..only had the phone 2 months. Hope they will exchange it!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is either a Phone issue or an Electrical issue in your home.! when charging Do you always use the same electrical outlet? or did you try others..
You will know or should know if there are any issues with your other Electronics.. that you Plug into it..
If it is the s5 which it sounds like it could be then the Local Verizon store at there Discretion will determined if replacement is needed you have a 1 year Manufactures Warranty that covers for things like what your Describing I would take it too your local store see if they'll get you a Replacement or you may have to go through Samsung..
But I would Try another OUTLET just to see if your phone charges with it.. And Good Luck b33

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, seethis article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

My ipod (4th generation) will not charge.I have tryed a wall cherger and charging on different computers.Nothing! what should i do?

help me my ipod 4th generation will not charge. i have tryed a wall ataptor an other computers.What should i do? Should i get a new ipod or should i try and get a new charger and see if that helps.It has not been changing for two weeks straight now .Help Please.

Either your USB cable for the charger has been damaged or the part of the iPod where you insert the USB cable is damaged. This usually happens due to water damage or carelessly removing the USB plug off from the iPod. Hope this clears some doubts
You might also wanna try and check with the Genius Bar at Apple, they usually know whats wrong.
