Can I leave an iPhone 5c on charge all night?

Hi, I have recently purchased an iPhone 5C and just have a few questions.
Does the phone have to be powered on for the alarm to go off?
If so, can I leave the phone on charge all night so my alarm will go off in the morning without causing any harm to it?

Correction: the alarm will go off if the phone is sleeping. If the phone has been turned off, that is you have done the "Slide to power off", then the phone is inert. Switched off is switched off. No power. The alarm will sound whenever the phone is powered up again.  It's easy enough to experiment.
Yes, the iPhone can be left plugged into the charger for a month if you like. It can look after itself.

  • My Iphone 4 was charged all night but is saying it has no battery life

    Ok this has happened many many times. I will have my phone plugged in to charge all night and when I wake up it says it has no battery. If I unplug it from the charger eventually it turns off and turns back on, that is in the past, and when it did, it would say the battery was fully charged. However, today it will not turn off. I have held down the home button and the button on top, held down the button on top, and unplugged it for over an hour so it would completely die. But nothing is helping. What causes my phone to do this? It is so frustrating. Please HELP ME!

    You need to call your service provider, and ask them if your SIM card is activated.

  • Keep iPhone 6 Plus Charging All Night?

    Hi there,
    I got my iPhone 6 Plus two months ago and it's amazing. I had a 4S before for a few months before upgrading. I'd like to know, after doing much research:
    1) I've read dozens of sites about how I should not keep it charging all the time. However, there are conflicting reports, so I'm going to ask here in the hopes that somebody can answer clearly. I currently use my iPhone with a JBL Dock (with speakers) as my alarm clock. Why? Because I use an app with sounds to go to sleep (it's very relaxing) and I like using the Wake app as an alarm. But is this detrimental to my iPhone? I've read so many different takes on it.
    2) How can I see how many cycles my iPhone battery has been through? And how can I check out the health? I want to confirm that charging it at 99% counts as a cycle or not. The battery is amazing and lasts a long time, but I want to just keep tabs on its degradation, if at all possible.
    3) I have read the Apple manual on it, but it isn't clear (at least on the web site). Any more info on the care of my phone would be greatly appreciated.
    (I did read in a thread on here just a few hours ago that draining the battery all the way once a month, and then recharging it, is no longer recommended. Since I only did that the day that I got my iPhone, I feel very relived at not having done that again).
    Thanks for any information.

    So it doesn't degrade the battery at all?
    No, it doesn't.  If the device is at 80% or greater, then the charger drops to a 'slow charge', and then when at 99-100%, it drops to a 'trickle' charge.  That means it's not pushing too much power to the battery so it won't damage it.
    Charging cycles by themselves will eventually degrade the battery.  But the design of the battery and the charger system minimizes that degradation.  While you might technically get more life out of the battery by only charging it when it is less than 100% and never charging it while it's at 99%+, the extension of life would be so minimal as to be almost pointless.  Compare that extension (maybe a few days, honestly?) to the convenience of being able to charge it whenever you want and not have to wait until it's fully discharged before charging it, and to me it's an obvious choice.
    Add maybe 1% more total life of the battery compared to being able to easily avoid my device running out of power at an inconvenient time?  Easy decision.

    When the battery reaches 100%, charging stops.

  • I work from my truck. I use my iPhone almost continuasly. Is it ok just to leave it plugged into the charger all day? So the battery is fully charged when I leave my truck.

    I work from my truck. I use my iPhone almost continuasly. Is it ok just to leave it plugged into the charger all day? So the battery is fully charged when I leave my truck.

    Yes. Charging automatically stops when your battery is full, & you can't overcharge.

    You can't.  Place it in lost mode and it will be implemented if and when the lost device is recharged by someone and connects to the internet.

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

    My IPad will not turn on despite charging all night and all day.  The Apple pops on but then shuts off again.  It does this over and over. How can I fix this and get it up and running again?

    Hey bellabeanbag,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps if your iPad is not responding:
    iPad: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
    If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If iPad still won't respond after you restore it
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. If you receive an alert in iTunes while restoring your iPad, refer to this article for instructions on how to resolve common issues with updating and restoring.
    2. If you cannot restore your iPad in iTunes, or if iTunes does not recognize the device, refer to this article for instructions on restoring using recovery mode.
    Thanks,

  • New iphone 4 working fine,then just went dead this morning. Its been charging all night. what's the problem?

    Just got iphone 4 on tues.  It has been working fine. Made 1 phone call this morning. 30 minutes later tried to use the phone again and it would not turn on. What could be the problem. Phone was charging all night.

    Sounds more like it might be frozen up.  Have you tried resetting it by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for ~10 sec?

  • Iphone 4S not charging, has been on charge all night, its like it is frozen.  Unable to power of etc

    Iphone 4S not charging, on charge all night.  Saying it needs charging, frozen, unable to turn of etc.

    Try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    From the above Link  >  Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    If the Issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • My iPad ran out of battery completely.  After charging all night, it is 100%, but my apps won't start.  I can access email, Safari, etc.....just not game apps.  I have restarted it several times.  Thanks!

    My iPad ran out of battery completely.  After charging all night, it is 100% however I cannot get my apps to work.  I can access Safari, email, etc., but cannot get game apps, etc.  I have restarted it a couple of times.  Any help?  Thanks!

    Try downloading any free app from thee store and then re-try your apps - the free app can then be deleted.
    If that doesn't work then try closing all your open/recently used apps completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
