ATT SAYS TO FULLY CHARGE NEW IPHONE 4 BEFORE TURNING ON

OK. but then how do you know it is fully charged?

because AT&T says this:
step 1 - leave new iphone off and charge it fully.
to activate smoothly and quickly, keep your iphone off
turning your iphone on could cause activation problems
if you already turned your iphone on, turn it off.
step 2 - activate new iphone using itunes
Don't believe AT&T. While activating, the USB cable will be connected, so the phone will be getting power from the computer, not the phone's battery. The battery will be charging, not providing power. There is no reason to fully charge it before activation.

Is it bad to always fully charge an iPhone 5?

I'm confused on how to charge an iPhone. I've been reading a lot of posts saying that always fully charging your iPhone 5 can shorten it's battery life span. Is that true?

No. Just use it how it best suits you.

Use iPhone Regularly
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

My iphone is fully charged but it will not turn on unless plugged into a charger

Hi there. Any luck with your phone? I'm having the same problem

With the new iOS 7 update, does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" will do? If you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.

With the new iOS 7 update. Does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" means or will do? Obviously I do know what Bold Text is. It says if you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.
Thanks,

It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

ITunes saying 'Welcome to your new iPhone'.

I plug my 3 year old Iphone4 into my Mac's Itunes, and it says, 'Welcome to your new Iphone'.
I am given two options; 1] Set up as a new iphone, or 2] Restore from this back up.
I should add, on Saturday 22nd Feb to install the latest update the phone had to be restored to its factory settings but Itunes said I would be able to regain all my data from a backup. So I faced this same situation on Saturday after installing the latest software. The backup only returned my contacts, but not my apps, photos, notes etc. So over the past 2 days I have been adding all my apps again. The last backup option on the itunes is from Saturday.. which will mean I'll lose all my data again.
Any advice on how to back up what I've got right now?
And how to make Itunes realise my phone is not new, and I do not want to restore it, or return it to the previous backup?

Since owning my iPhone I’ve had this happen to me a couple of times now, I plug in my iPhone to do a sync and recharge and get a message telling me “An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer” and gives me the options of setting it up as a new phone, or restoring from a previous back up. Neither of these options describe what I want, as I don’t have it back up on every sync I would lose too much data, and I certainly don’t want to start fresh.
As it turns out, this screen is very misleading and not as threatening as it may appear. Selecting the option to set it up as a new phone does NOT revert your phone back to its starting point as the message may imply. The only change that is made is you will be prompted to rename the phone, after that your phone will sync and all of your settings and data will be preserved.

Well the blinking light shows it's charging, however just to make sure.
Reset the SMC, then connect the machine to a power source that doesn't have a lot of other power items on the same lines (in the walls) in the same room and see how it is in the morning.
For instance use a powerline in another spare room that isn't being used as much.

New iPhone says not fully charged

I just got my iPhone yesterday and charged it overnight. When I went to get it this morning, the battery picture says that it's mostly charged but not all the way (80 or 90 percent). Any thoughts on what to do or why this is?

maybe it is not good to leave it left charging after it is FULLY charged, that will cause an overcharge, and maybe that is what causing the problem!!
am not an expert and that's only what i think about!!
make the phone go off by itself when no battery left, then charge it during the day till it shows that the battery is fully charged!!

Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

My new iphone 4 wont turn on/charge/ connect to computer

Today I went to Disneyland with some friends. My phone died earlier in tha day. When I got home I plugged it in to charge it and it charged up to about 15%. Then It randomly just turned off. I tried reboot it and everything. I know its not dead becuase its been on the charger forever! I read that I should restore it but when I plug it into the computer it doesnt reconize it!! Then i tried to recovery mode too. It wont even let me do that! HELP PLEASE

While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.

Charging new iPhone 3Gs

Forgive me if this is a repost. I'm one of the newly converted and got my iPhone 3GS on release day. My question is about charging, all the crappy phones i've had in the past stated that you should not leave the phone plugged in after its fully charged b/c eventually it will degrade the battery life. Is this true on the iPhone or can I just leave it plugged in all night? Thanks in advance, i'm sure Apple figured this out already.

From what I've read on several forums is that once the battery has actually reached 100%, the charge icon will disappear. So as long as you see the charging icon while it's at 100% it actually isn't, it's just rounding up.

HT201269 stuck on the screen that says "Welcome to your new Iphone"

I need some help.. I've recently repaired my iphone 4 and had it in recovery mode. I plugged it in to itunes (using Windows on a PC) and it sorted itself out of recovery mode. A screen then opens saying something like "Welcome to your new iPhone" where my option is to set up as new iphone or restore from backup. (shown as a screen dump under nr 6 in the checklist here: iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device)
I restore from a backup and everything seems to be going allright, when the restore is done iTunes says I will have to go through a setup on my phone. I do the setup and the phone now contains some old photos, textmessages, contacts, web favorites, e-mail setup and other things. But iTunes still shows the Welcome-page! I cant continue with the sync of my music and apps! my only option is to set up as new iphone or restore from backup again. I've tried a number of times to restore from backup and the only thing that happens is a new backup is shown in the scrollbar. (sorry, don't know if scrollbar's even a word..)
Whats wrong? Anybody?

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

ITouch says its fully charged when its empty

Ok so I plug in my ipod because its in the red. It makes the bloop charging noise, but the battery has the fully charged 100% plug icon! and it doesnt seem to charge just drains and dies. Sometimes it charges and sometimes it doesnt, but today it did not at all and even though it was plugged in, it ran out of battery and is now dead. Wont even turn on Help? Or is it gone for good

Hi. A reset may help. Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release buttons.

Updated my iPhone 4, fully charged and it will not turn on or do anything. HELP!

It was fully charged, update took less than 5 minutes- it rebooted and then nothing. DEAD! Nothing!
I have tried to reset it with holding down the home button and power keys....again nothing.
PLEASE HELP!

Try to hold the Home & Wake/Sleep button simultaneous until the device restarts itself.
