2g iphone will not charge

my 2g will not charge when plugged in. the only thing it does is flash a blank screen on and off. tried to charge on computer and wall but only flashes. please help.

There clearly is an issue with iPhone charging. My wall socket-USB combo does not work at all (I have ordered the replacement). The charging with the computer is sporadic, maybe because it is asleep.
There must be a software design issue - it is absurd that the phone will not charge when hooked up to the computer and the computer goes to sleep. I hook up the phone at night, get up the next day and it is not charged. I currently have no other charging options.
Can something be done for the next software upgrade that tickles the computer to send power to the USB even when it is asleep?

    Iphone will not charge; claims it is not supported, though it has worked for s a few years.
    Oredered a iphone 5, which arrives Tuesday.  Did apple cancel my previous phpne chargeabiity?

    Ordering a new phone won't impact your current phone's ability to charge.  Have you turned your phone completely off and back on?  Also, you could try a Reset by holding both the Sleep Key and the Home Key down until about 15 seconds have passed.

  • My iphone will not charge

    My iphone will not charge and it is not the charger. I tried plugging it into my computer and that will not work either. I spent 2 1/2 hours at the apple store tonight!! They replaced my battery and said that would fix it and I got home and plugged it in and it wouldn't charge. I restored it to factory settings and that didn't work. I only have like 10% battery left and I use this phone for work a lot. I need my phone to charge!! Please HELP!!!

    The best way is to bring to an Apple retail store and have them look at it. Bring the phone and charging cable with you.
    Or it could be just an old dead battery and Apple store can replace that.
    However if you can get a hold of another charging cable (complete) you can try that first.
    Good Luck

  • My Iphone will not charge properly!!!

    I have had my iphone since last november 2012 and it has worked perfectly. However about a month ago when i plugged the lightning cable from the wall into my iphone to charge, i had to bend it into a certain position to get the phone to charge. I figured it was the charger that was busted as at the top of the cable some of the plastic had come away and there was exposed wires, so i purchased another lightning cable from apple, which arrived today. After plugging the new charger into the USB and the wall, the phone will not charge properly again unless the cable is bent into a position where it suddenly starts charging and then unless its kept in that position it will cease to charge. Is this my phone or have i just got unlucky and been sent a faulty charger?? please help.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Please be more specific about "it wont connect back to the computer" so that appropriate troubleshooting steps can be provided.

  • IPhone will not charge from wall socket only from Laptop or Computer!

    Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
    My IPhone will charge sometimes and sometime it wont:
    I mean like sometimes it will charge from the wall socket and sometimes it wont!
    It will go so far as to turn off because of no battery life! Then I plug it in to the Laptop and it starts charging!

    I have had this problem for some time. It applies to both a wall charger (the one that came with iPhone and a third-party model) and a car charger (third party). Both wall and car chargers are rated at 1000 ma which should be enough power. Yet when the battery charge goes below a certain level the phone will not charge from wall or car charger, but it will charge from a computer.
    I did some research on USB power. Per specification, a USB client (the iPhone) cannot draw more than 100 ma from the USB host (charger or computer or hub) unless it asks for and gets permission to draw more current. (This is so it does not interfere with other USB devices connected to the host.)
    Inexpensive wall chargers do not contain any computing elements. They short the D+ and D- lines together. This makes it impossible for a client to negotiate a higher current draw, so the iPhone, working per the USB standard, limits itself to 100 ma. When connected to a computing device such as a computer or USB hub, the iPhone can negotiate a higher current, up to the 500 ma currently allowed by the USB standard.
    This begs the question, why can't the iPhone charge on 100 ma when the battery is almost completely discharged? After all, when the battery has more charge, the iPhone will charge nicely from a wall charger. Perhaps someone has some insight into this aspect.
    There is evidently a new USB standard for wall chargers that will fix this issue. Both the host and client must implement in order for it to work. (I haven't read the standard, but suspect it involves the client detecting that the D+ and D- lines are shorted together.) Obviously, either the charger or my iPhone 3G don't comply with this new standard. Maybe the iPhone 3GS does? Or maybe we have to wait for another iPhone model that has the hardware that complies with the new USB wall charger standard.
    Meanwhile I have to be careful not to fully discharge my iPhone battery when I am away from a computer. I recently went on a 30-day trip and had no problem because I charged the phone every night. Of course, I did not use it much because it was an international trip and AT&T roaming rates are horribly expensive.

  • IPhone will not charge

    I've had my 3GS for three days and actually activated it yesterday. I let the battery run down, so that I could charge it as I do for all rechargable electronics I own. However, this time, my iPhone will not come back on. It has the charging bolt but does not gain any charge, so far as I can tell. I've tried three different cords, three car chargers, six different outlets, my laptop, and my Xbox 360 and none of them can produce a result. I know I'm not the only person with this problem. What's going on and how do I fix this? And for any "go to an Apple store" responses, the nearest is nearly 2 hours away so it's not exactly a viable option.

    Sorry but you've tried all the stuff you can do at home. The Apple Store is the next step - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

  • My iPad and iPhone will not charge or sync with itunes.

    My iphone and ipad both will not charge nor sync with itunes when connected to my computer.  They will not charge when connected to an outlet.  The problem started at the same time on both devices.

    Did you ever get an answer to this?
    Today both my iPad 2 & iPhone will no longer charge or connect to iTunes. It's so weird!

  • HT4972 I did this and now my Iphone will not charge?

    I updated my Iphone and now it will not charge. I plug it into the wall and it doesn't. I plug it into the computer and it doesn't even recognize my device. Please help! 

    Me too.  And I just noticed a newer post saying the same thing.  Actually, my phone will show up as charging from the USB port -- but it will not sync.  At all.  Not just the itunes -- not calendar... nothing.  The wireless sync for email seems to work, but the hard sync and iTunes don't show up at all.
    Just wanted to second your question, so that perhaps we can get a reply more quickly.

  • My Iphone will not charge or turn on. Help.

    My Iphone 3G has suddenly decided to never turn on again. I have had the phone for about five months now, and it is in great condition. The phone died, and it will not charge, and it will not turn on. Nothing happens at all. I have read where people have had problems with their phone turning on and showing a screen with an Apple image on it. This isn't the case with mine.
    Any feedback?

    have you tried resetting it with the on/off button and homescreen button? hold them both down until the apple logo appears. not sure how long you hold them down for, 30 sec maybe.

  • IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

    My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
    -error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
    -would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
    -person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
    -when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
    -cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
    -when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
    Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

    Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
    And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
    I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
    But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

  • My iPhone will not charge when I plug it first, I have to unplug it and when I plug it again, then it charges

    My iPhone 4 (GSM) will not charge when I plug it first, I have to unplug it and when I plug it again, then it charges... It is very weird... Has this happened to anyone?
    Thank you in advance for the answer.

    It is yet happening to me. In my case it happens when I plug it to any kind of charger: socket, car... I have to pull it out the phone and plug it in again so it reacts and starts charging.
    Of course, I tried cleaning with a soft, dry brush. This had no effect.
    Thanks again and best regards.
