Help! Incredible 2 won't charge!

I've had my incredible 2 for about 10 months and haven't had any problems. However, as of two days ago the phone stopped charging. I've left it on the charger over night and the orange light blinks (only for short amounts of time) but doesn't stay lit like it normally does when on the charger. I don't know what to do, I tried taking out the battery and nothing has been solved. Anyone else having this issue/know a way to fix it?

Did you just do the Droid update on July 5th or close to that date? I did and my phone is losing it's charge very rapidly, rebooting constantly, dying whenever it feels like it, etc. It corresponds 100% with the update as I had no problems before an immediately had issues afterwards.

Incredible 2 won't charge...

My Incredible 2 is doing the same thing. Whether it is my wall charger, car charger or the charger to my pc, the phone won't keep charging. Most times, it shows it is charging but there's no progress showing, meaning that it has a lightning bolt, but no advancement of the green filling the battery icon.
I have to wiggle the charger in the port to get it to show it is charging with progress. I have to hold it in order for the progress to continue, which is not really convenient.
Considering that I just got this phone 5 months ago, this is not acceptable!
There are so many posts of people with this same issue! NOT IMPRESSED, HTC!
Can I exchange this phone at a Verizon wireless store because such an issue is under the 1 year warranty?
I'm positive this phone hasn't had any water damage, etc.

Dodo422,
I'm so sorry to hear that the port is no longer charging working as designed to charge the phone. Luckily, this is why the device come with a one year warranty from the manufacturer. If you are still in need of assistance, please PM me directly so I may help further.
Thank you!

Help! ipod won't charge or anything

so, i'm not sure as to whether or this goes here, but...
i guess my computer is not detecting my ipod
i'll plug it in, and it will say it's charging
but when i unplug, it still has the same battery life
i can't put anything new on the ipod, and itunes doesn't pop up or read it's there when i plug it in
help would be appreciated, thanks

You'll probably need to format your iPod to this computer (i.e., restoring your iPod will do this).
Your iPod won't be able to be restored, though, if it's not recognized in iTunes.
To get it recognized, first try putting your iPod in disk mode, then connecting it to your computer. For more info on this, read here : Putting your iPod into Disk Mode
If that doesn't work to get your iPod recognized by iTunes (to restore it), give the Five R's a try. For more info on the Five R's, read here, and here.
If this doesn't work either to get your iPod recognized properly in iTunes (i.e., you should see it in the left panel of iTunes), I would suggest trying assigning your iPod a different drive letter. Follow these instructions below:
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
After this, (whichever technique worked: disk mode, five R's, or the different drive letter), restore your iPod.
This should format it to your computer. Although this will delete all the content off of it, this may be your long-term solution (so you won't need to connect your iPod in Disk Mode every time you want to sync songs to your iPod).
I hope that helps you. If you need any additional explanatoin of those things, post back wit the details of your issue, and I'd be glad to try to help you again with this.

Help, my phone won't charge!!

I have an iphone 4 and i upgraded today to ios 5.1.1. I was just about to go to sleep when I noticed that my phone wasn't charging. I was charging it the way i normally do, via macbook pro, but after 30 seconds it stops recognising that it has the power cable plugged in! Is this a fluke in my case or should I be worried that Apple have created a problem with their latest update? It seems to be charging now the laptop is open but it shouldn't matter if it is closed or not...
Any reply would be much appreciated.

It does matter if the laptop is open or closed.
I'm not that familiar with macbooks, but they must support pass-through power when the device is in sleep mode or turned off to be able to charge that way.
The majority of computers simply do not support this functionality at this time.
Since it worked previously (I'm going on your statement, not any actualy knowledge) I would suspect a fluke or the macbook actually does not support this and you only think it was working previously.

Help - iPad(Original) won't charge

I tried hooking it to my computer, tried different adaptors, different outlets, but nothing is working. Any suggstions?

I tried a reboot too

My ipad with retina display won't charge after ios7. I have purchased a new cord and adapter but it won't charge at all or even recognize that it's plugged in most of the time. Help!!

My iPad is less than a year old, still under the one year limited warranty, though since I don't know the exact problem, I don't know if my problem is covered. I have spoken to AppleCare agents 3 times, during all of which my conversation was cut off. In my last conversation I was told to do a complete reset, which I have now done. Problem is, I am now stuck on the set-up screen, as I cannot get above a 2% charge, meaning that my ipad cuts off long before I'm able to do a restore using iTunes, iCloud or even set it up as a new device. So, basically, I now have a $600 coaster... and I'm not happy about that. Especially since I'm nowhere near an Apple Store. I also bought the iPad at Wal-Mart, which I guess was a mistake, because once 30 days have passed, they couldn't care less about helping me. What do I do now? And please, don't throw a bunch of technical jargon at me.. I won't understand it and it'll just frustrate us both if I try. Thanks!
p.s. I'm not 100% sure what OS it currently has, though I do believe I was able to update it to 7.0.3 or possibly 7.0.4 through iTunes, though I can't check it now.
p.p.s. I have always used the charging cord and wall adapter that came with the device to charge it. When this problem first occurred, I also purchased new, exact replicas of both of these, which, obviously, made no difference.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Since downloading ios8 iPad 2 won't charge or turn on! help!

Hi guys,
i updated to ios8 last week, since then my ipad2 has done nothing but run terribly slow, two nights ago my battery went low and cut out all together. I put the iPad on charge aand it just won't charge up or turn on at all now.
I Have tried pressing the two buttons together many times. It's been on charge for two days straight, I've plugged it into my laptop to see if the greater power source could boot it up. None of this worked
Tonight i went went to the Trafford centre Apple store and got no help at all. qued for half an hour to get my iPad plugged into a laptop and forgotten about, felt like because I wasn't buying anything they didn't want to know! So going into a store hasn't helped me either.
I Was just wondering has this happened to anyone else? I don't know what to do about it and am lost without it! If anyone has any advice please help!!

1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

HELP! My ipod is frozen on and won't charge!

Hello!
My ipod is completely frozen and won't charge. It is stuck on a picture of a folder with an exclamation point(!). I reset it several times and it just goes back to this picture. I have tried to charge it but it seems to not connect to my computer because the battery does not come up and my ipod icon does not appear in my itunes. I tried to charge it on another computer and it would not charge on that one either. I updated my itunes but still nothing. Restoring seems kind of extreme (losing ALL of my songs!!) so I was hoping I could fix this problem without having to do that! Can anyone help me or has this happened to anyone else? Suggestions are welcome! Please Help! =)

Do you have a windows or a mac computer?

If you have a pc, does the iPod appear as a drive in "my computer"?

My "4" won't turn on. It won't charge when connected to a charger or to the computer. It's never been dropped, or had any water damage. It looks like its brand new! The warranty ran on on Feb 23rd, help!!!

Hello Breejumpp,
Try Reset ( No Data will be lost )
Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.

My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time

iPhone 5 has ran out now it won't charge ? I can't reset because my power button is broke ? What can I do, please help will my one year warranty cover this ?

Try cleaning the dock connector. Try a new cable or charger.
If no luck, it should be covered under warranty.
