How do I know if my iPhone is charging?

I got an iPhone 5 about 5 months ago, and the charger that came with it has already started to fail. I have to twist it a lot before it's in a position that it's happy to charge my phone in. My phone went dead today and so I can't tell whether it's charging or not by the bar at the top, and I was wondering if there is a way to tell whether it's charging when it's dead? When I hold the top button, it comes up with a flashing red battery sign with a plug a the bottom of the screen with a lightning bolt over it. Is there a different image shown when the device is charging?
I can't get a new charger until tomorrow.

If it won't turn on after about 10 minutes on the charger, it's not charging.

    just got iphone today.  was charged when i purchased it.  now it's dead.  plugged in to charge, but not able to power up iphone.  so how do i know if it's charging?

    If the screen doesn't light up with a chargining indicator after 20 minutes (at the most), then there's an issue somewhere. Try plugging the iPhone into iTunes instead, and try a different USB cable if possible.

  • How do you know if the iPhone...

    How do you know if the iPhone that I bought new in fact it is a refurbished product?
    Since I upgraded to the latest version of IOS, is worse. The wi-fi does not work anymore, 3G network makes it even more hard to get, some apps that should work, close or take a long time to load, even the screen to make phone calls has long recharge times. Do you have suggestions? Thank you!
    E' possibile sapere se l'iPhone che hai acquistato per nuovo in realtà è un prodotto ricondizionato?
    Da quando l'ho aggiornato all'ultima versione di IOS, è peggiorato. Il wi-fi non funziona più, la rete 3G fà ancora più fatica a ricevere, alcune app che dovrebbero funzionare, si chiudono o ci mettono molto tempo per caricarsi, perfino la schermata per telefonare ha tempi di ricarica lunghi. Avete suggerimenti? Grazie!

    Hi, thank you for having responded to me so quickly. Excuse me instead for the delay with which you answer.
    I tried "lifetime" or a similar word in my preferences panel but I could not find. I have the software in Italian.
    I attach screens. You see something that might look like the "lifetime"? Thank you very much!

    Hey Cherielly,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

    How do I know if my iPhone was unlocked after I did what was said

    If you go the "your iPhone is now unlocked" message after restoring it, it's probably unlocked, but the only certain way to know is to try a SIM from a different carrier.
    Regards.

  • HT1695 How do I know if my iPhone 5 is using a local wifi or cellular data?

    How do I know if my iPhone 5 is using my home wifi or my cellular company's cellular data? 
    My phone has been set up (connected) to my home wifi but I have no idea if it's using my cellular data plan or going through my home wifi.
    I've had my phone for 2 days and burned through almost 1GB of data and I haven't been using it that much.
    Is there something running in the background that is eating through my data plan?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    you could monitor data usage in settings/general/usage.  if it is a problem for you you might go to settings/notifications and turn off notifications from apps that you don't want to receive notifications from. also try turning off cellular datain settings/general/cellular.  you might turn off push notification for email in settings/mail/fetch new data and just manually check for email messages rather than have the phone do it constantly

    HOW DO I KNOW IF MY IPHONE 4 IS UNLOKED?

    Did you buy it from Apple or an Apple authorized reseller and did you specifically request an unlocked iPhone?
    Otherwise, there is no way to tell from the phone itself.  Stick a SIM card in it and see if it works would be one test.  Plug it into iTunes and update or restore it, then try a SIM and see if it works would be a better test.

  • How can i know if my iphone 4s is factory unlock?

    how can i know if my iphone is factory unlock?

    Hi there,
    Ask the vendor where you bought your iPhone, they can tell you if it is locked, and if so, when you can have it unlocked. If  you don't know, where the phone originally was bought, you can also contact Apple and have them verify the serial number of your iPhone against their database. If it has a carrier lock, they will know.
    Please note that if your phone does have a carrier lock, only the carrier, who had implemented the lock, can authorize Apple to remove it.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris
