My phone will not charge, with any of my chargers!? WHY

My phone has not been charging and I have no idea why. None of the chargers I have work. I do not sleep with my phone by me so there is no way the charger port is messed up. Has anyone had this problem? I have a galaxy S4.

Try taking the back off the phone, remove the battery for a second then put back in and put cover back on. Try charging again. Sometimes, phones with removable covers allow static build up between the battery and charging ports. Basically, it just bounces the charge back & forth but can't charge. Lots of times, the battery heats up and if it happens often, can actually damage the battery. Static build up is caused (mostly) by keeping phones in pockets, pants, coats, sweatshirts.. or even in/out of purses or any other fabric lined anything. This is also what drains battery life. (The only downfall of removable batteries). Anyway, just get in the habit of removing the battery at least once every couple of days OR at anytime that u feel the battery getting hot. Good luck!

Torch will NOT charge with Wall or Car Chargers, only USB - what is the fix?

About 3 days ago, my Torch decided it no longer wants to work with ANY wall charger, or car charger for that matter. I have been using it just fine for the past 6 months, and charging it just about every night, topping it off for a fresh charge for the morning.
Now, NO wall chargers work, simply no response. The ONLY way I can charge is via the USB cable and my laptop. This is VERY annoying and no one at the AT&T store seems to know what's going on.
I've tried all kinds of battery pulls and reboots - even upgraded to the latest software, downgraded back - NOTHING seems to be working!
What is the solution to this problem? How can I get it to charge again in my wall and car chargers?

If the device (Blackberry phone) will recharge using the computer this means that the port on the device should be functioning properly. The USB port on your computer puts out up to 500 ma at 5 Volts. The voltage regulator in the phone adjusts the power coming in to be in specs to charge the battery. The Blackberry charger is a 700 ma charger. The computer will take about 30% longer to charge the phone.
I have had the connectors on the chargers and car adabtors go defective from handling and use. I have also had chargers fail. Since the phone can be recharged using the computer this tells me the fault has to be with the charging devices you have. Unfortunately these chargers are not serviceable. As for myself, over time I bought a number of spare chargers.
I would strongly suggest to try another charger. Maybe you can go in to a store that sells them and try another charger that they have in stock.
When buying or trying a charger, it would be best to get an original Blackberry charger. This guarantees the specifications will be exactly correct for your phone, and also for the electrical safety for your phone. It is also known that many of the universal chargers will not properly charge the Blackberry phone.

Will not charge with new cable

I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

There is no difference. They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?

Hello,

yea it sounds like a hardware issue, going to apple would be your best option

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

My phone will not charge any one else have this problem

I have plug my charger in to every outlet I can find and my phone will not charge. I have tried more than one charger and no luck.

KC9NVV,
We never want you to have issues with charging your device! That's definitely no fun! Are you using the charger that came with the phone? Have you tried restarting the phone to see if that makes any difference? If you look in the charging port are there any signs of corrosion?

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

My phone will not charge (4S). It is now dead and I cannot charge it or turn it on. Any ideas?

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try cleaning again with small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If all it needs is battery, battery replacement program with Apple is $80. Replacement iPhone with Apple is $199 for perfect iPhone 4S exactly like yours. Otherwise replacement parts to consider are battery and charging port assembly with flex cable.

My iPhone 4 has just shut down. Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge. Any suggestions

Try charging the iPhone via a wall socket for at least 30 minutes then try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

I have a 5s which has been working fine until about a week ago when any calender event added to my phone will not sync with my enterprise server. Any calender event entered on my PC (enterprise) does show on my phone. Mail is working fine both ways,ideas?

Will not charge on any charger, will charge with USB connected to PC

iPod Classic (60 GB Photo) will not charge on ANY charger - usb, firewire or car charger, I tried multiple versions of all of them, but it will charge when connected to my USB port on my PC.
When connected to a charger, is shows that it is charging but it doesn't. It doesn't matter if the battery is dead, 1/2 charged or 3/4 charged, it leaves the iPod battery in the same state, not charging at all, no matter how long it is left connected.
It charges perfectly normally when connected to a USB port on a PC.
It's not the chargers not the cables since I've tried different ones.
HELP!

I have the same problem with ipod nano.
When I connect itt o mains USB charger the ipod switches on and is in pause mode but appears to be charging.
After a few minutes the ipod switches off and the screen is just black with no charging indicated.
If I set it to play then after a while the charging logo goes off and it just runs on the battery until it is dead.
If I switch off the ipod then it goes to black screen.
This is different behaviour from connecting to USB on a computer, where the
charging persists. Even if you switch the ipod off then it still shows a charging logo.
It seems like the computer is supplying a signal to keep the ipod awake and that it does not get from the mains USB supply.

My phone will not charge, it says This cable or accessory is not certified an may not work reliably with this phone

My phone will not charge it says this cable or accessory is not certified an may not work reliably with this phone? What do I do?

Is the cable the one that came with your Apple device? Is it a replacement cable that you purchased? If it is, did you purchase an Apple certified cable?

Phone will not charge

phone will not charge, losing power down to 20%, charging not working, what can I do?

Try a different charger, a different cable, and clean the connector on the bottom of the phone. If it's an iPhone 5 it is most likely the cable; if any other model most likely dirt in the connector. Inspect it with a magnifying glass and clean with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick.

Although I plug my iphone5 into a power socket or my laptop,the phone will not charge. The phone indictaes it is charging, but the phone does not recharge

Hi syvliebaby88888888,
If you are having issues with recharging your iPhone's battery, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
In particular, this section -
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
