How do I tell my new Iphone is charging?

Hello,
Just taken delivery of a 16GM white IPhone. Plugged it into the mains but after the apple logo vanished, there is no obvious sign the phone is actually charging.
Could somebody confirm whether or not this is normal? Also, anybody able to confirm how long I should leave it charging for since there is no indication the phone is fully charged?
Thanks, Rob.

Not too many people know this but remember to keep it charging overnight and not just till its full because a long first charge makes the most of the battery's capacity though I'm not sure how long it can actually get you. I think the target from Apple is 12 hours on charge. BUT IT HAS TO BE THE FIRST CHARGE AND ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO DO IT!
You are propagating bad information here, that survives because many people do not understand that lithium-based rechargeable batteries (such as the one in the iPhone) are quite different from the older, nickel-based rechargeable batteries.
See this linked page for a more detailed explanation; the relevant quote is, +"Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Stickers instructing to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days. "+

    The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact an iPhone Authorized Service Provider or contact Apple if you purchased your iPhone directly from Apple.

    How can I tell if my iPhone is in-warranty?
    Apple’s Limited Warranty for iPhone begins on the date that the iPhone is originally purchased and covers the iPhone for one year from that date. To determine your warranty coverage, find your iPhone serial number or IMEI and either enter it in Apple's Check Your Service and Support Coverage tool or contact an iPhone Authorized Service Provider. The iPhone Authorized Service Provider may need to examine the original sales receipt for your iPhone or another valid proof-of-purchase document to verify your iPhone's warranty status.
    Note: The service coverage information described at the Apple Support site is based on the date-of-purchase information available to Apple, depending on when or whether you registered your product or if you purchased it from an Apple Authorized Reseller.

  • How can i tell if my iphone is unlocked?

    How can I tell if my Iphone 3GS is unlocked.  I bought it used and it still has ATT info on screens but the seller said it was unlocked.  Is there a test or message somewhere?

    If it is a 3Gs from AT&T it is locked. It could have been "unofficially" unlocked (what iOS version is on it?) but if you upgrade it will relock to AT&T.
    AT&T will not unlock iPhones period. Contact the seller and get your money back.

    how can i tell if my iphone is ios 7

    I heard that there was some type of security breach for iphones that use ios 7 and that users may need to go and do some type of system update.  The security breach meant that people could actually access our email, texts, and even our bank account apps.  Has anyone else heard of this, and if so what is it that we have to do to ensure the security of our phones?

    how do I tell if my iphone is a 3G or 3GS?

    The iPhone 3G only went up to iOS 4.2.1, so when you connect to iTunes you will not be able to update to a higher iOS version. The 3GS can go up to the latest iOS, currently at 5.1.1 and soon iOS 6.

  • How do you tell if your iphone has been hacked?

    How do you tell if you iphone has been hacked? I have an iphone 3GS and I've gotten text messages from 2 different people that i don't know, telling me they can't see the pics that I've sent them & wanting to know what the pics are of. One of the numbers had been part of a group message that I recieved from a friend. I just thought she ended up responding back to me by mistake thinking she was sending a message to the originater of the group message.Then a couple weeks later i got another text from a person I have never contacted wanting to know who I was & why I was sending multimedia messages that she couldn't open. Just trying to figure out what is going on. If I postd this on the wrong group, please let me know which one I need to post this on. Thanks.

    Well that's good to know. As far as I know the phone has not been jailbroken, unless it was done before I bought it. I purchased it used from an individual who said it was restored to factory defaults.
    It just concerns me that people are texting me telling me that I'm sending them pics that they can't open. I've checked my bill online & nothing shows up that shouldn't be there.
