HT201263 My iphone gs3 stopped charging a while back.
When turned off, then connected to a charging device (car, wall or computer) it would turn on, but not charge. Now it seems to be so dead that connecting it to any charging device does anything. B/4 it went completely dead, I tried the reset holding the Power & Home button at same time. No posative result. Suggestions?
Morning irishmikeh,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
Hope this helps,
Mario

My 4 month old iPhone 5s stopped charging, original cable with adapter works fine on other iphones.
I have tried restarting iPhone while its connected to my macbook pro and when it restarts, I see it starts charging again.
After this, when I plug phone to wall outlet, it works perfectly and charges but next day again it stops charging.Will Apple cover this under warranty if the port is damaged due to unknown reasons as its under 1 yr warranty?
Also, I am out of USA now and would like to know if I can send it through a friend and get it checked out by Apple tech...
Never has any iPhones of all generations that I owned gave such problem. -
iPhone 5 stops charging after a minute. It's been a bit temperamental for a while. Earlier today I removed a big piece of dust/tissue from the charging point. Is there any thing I should be doing. Or do I need to take it to the local apple store.
Your comment about it being a bit tempermental is not the most helpful but it does sound like a trup to the Apple Store is called for. Call and make an appointment.

My iphone 4s stopped charging for no apparent reason...
Hey guys,
I have the same problem with a brand new 1 month old iphone 4S.
It was perfect then last night I had this issue of not charging or not even recognizing that it was plugged in to charge. I have tried everything from a hard reset to trying different cables and outlets but o change. I am back to my old Nokia now and it kinda hurts. Quite the downgrade
BFH 2011, did you sort your issue out? If so any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

After I downloaded the ios7, my iphone 4s stopped charging.
After I downloaded the ios7, my iphone 4s stopped charging. Even with the original cables. I've tried pluging in it at the AC charger and two different computers and nothing. It seems that the phone connects and disconnects every 2 seconds.
Hi jujuschmidt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone isn't charging reliably, first make sure you've restarted and reset it:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the behavior persists, try restoring the device:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If restoring is necessary, doing so should resolve the issue or isolate it to the hardware itself.
Best,

HT1267 My Iphone has stopped charging, what can i do?
My Iphone has stopped charging, what can i do?
Does it still work normally otherwise?
Does it sync normally?
Have you tried a different computer? Wall charger?
Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. -

iPhone stops charging a few seconds after being connected to a USB slot, it will charge when switched off is I think it must be a software issue.
HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

Hello,
Last night my iphone would randomly stop charging and vibrate everytime I made a sudden movement. Today, it has stopped charging all together. It is very low on battery, and the phone is only a few months old since I recently upgraded. I never had this issue with my other phones, and didn't have it on this phone until I installed the iOS7.0.2 update.
The pop-up message when it stopped charging each time was "This accessory may not be supported."
What should I do? I'd appreciate any help.Fixed it. It is on Chevrolet's end. Press config to access the configuration settings. Turn menu/tune knob to highlight vehicle settings. Press menu/tune to select the vehicle settings menu. Choose return to factory settings.

Iphone 4s stops charging then overheats if kept plugged in
I have been having a problem with my iphone for a couple weeks now where it will randomly stop charging (or stop recognizing the charger) even though it is not fully charged. If i dont notice that it has stopped charging the bottom of my phone will heat up to the point of causing burns to me. The cord on either end will also be super hot. I have used four different cables, two charging adapters, and my macbook and it has done it all on all of them. My computer will give me a warning saying that the usb is drawing too much power and will cut of supply or something. Sometimes it wont recognize the charger at all when I first put it in but I can take it out and replug it in and it will charge it for a little bit. I did do a docking port replacement about a month and a half ago due to the last one corrosion but the problem didnt happen till recently.
Any Ideas? Im not having luck with googling anything. I also cant figure out if its a software or hardware issue. Please help! Thank you!CeeLea wrote:

It sounds like the previous repair you did created some problems. You should stop using it and setup Out of Warranty Service through Apple. -

Does my iPhone 5c stop charging at 100%?
Ever since iOS 7 came out the charging icon never changed from the lightning bolt to the plugged-in icon when it was at 100%.
So I want to know if I have been over charging the battery by leaving it charging over night.
Please Help. Thanks.Yes, it stops charging at 100%. No, you haven't been overcharging it.

My iPhone has stopped charging and I can't get it to charge at all
I tried to charge it yesterday it vibrated to tell me it was charging then suddenly stopped straight afterwards. I've tried all the apple troubleshooting guides and noticed that the red battery screen is flashing twice instead of three times so I don't think it's that it's not receiving charge I think it's something more. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? Or should I send it to be repaired? Thanks in advance
Try resetting the phone: Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears (~10 - 15 seconds)>
