HT201401 iphone 4s not charging when power ON

iphone 4s not charging when power ON

Amish/ Selvars4, i have exactly the same issue. I'm sure its software issue as mine has done it also just last week. i had it happen previously about 3 months ago also. the phone would only charge via a USB from a pc or if the phone was turned off.The way i got it working last time i kept reloading previous version of the phone back up and finally it worked normally again. It was always visible to iTunes so not an issue. Last week though i have had exactly the same problem as Selvars and itunes cannot see it now, and not charge by any device except when turned off. I did a backup and iTunes sync about 2 days before this problem started. (now thinking back it was the same when i had the previous issues with charging) this time its invisible to iTunes, pc,won't charge anywhere except turned off. i left it plugged into pc where it wasn't visible and then about 40mins later it recognised it. so i did a factory restore and update then reloaded a back up. it now is visible to pc and charges from pc and power adaptor but won't charge from a dock. Strange and Frustrating. Suvzero

IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
-error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
-would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
-person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
-when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
-cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
-when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

My iPhone will not charge when I plug it first, I have to unplug it and when I plug it again, then it charges

My iPhone 4 (GSM) will not charge when I plug it first, I have to unplug it and when I plug it again, then it charges... It is very weird... Has this happened to anyone?
Thank you in advance for the answer.

It is yet happening to me. In my case it happens when I plug it to any kind of charger: socket, car... I have to pull it out the phone and plug it in again so it reacts and starts charging.
Of course, I tried cleaning with a soft, dry brush. This had no effect.
Thanks again and best regards.

IPhone 5 not charging when Macbook Air display is off

Hey guys,
Small problem here. For some reason my iPhone 5 is not chargin when the display turns off. It is fine when i'm sing the mac but if i leave it for 2 mins, the phone stops charging.
This wasn't a problem on my Pro.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!

I have mine set (System Preferences>Energy Saver) to never sleep computer only display
Deselect Put hard disks to sleep and select wake for network access
Deselect Power Nap.
And it stays charging my ipad even when the air is not in use for many hours.
I have different settings for on battery and it stops charging when it sleeps.
I am running Mavericks.

IPhone 5 not charging when cable is connected

I recently had my iPhone battery replaced, it was ordered directly from the iStore (I live in South Africa) and is a valid, not generic, battery.
Since the technicians replacement, the phone has been working like normal, but upon charging for the first time I noticed the battery percentage would not improve.
I'm really confused about this - and frankly, quite frustrated that when connected to any power outlet, the phone recognises that it is plugged in by displaying the lighning bolt next to the battery life bar, and makes the "charging sound". When I tried to charge it through my computers USB port, it does the same - displays the lightning bolt and makes the familiar sound. My iTunes even recognises the device and if I wanted to, I could have synched my music.
My previous issue before having my phones battery replaced was also charging related - since updating to iOS7 in September 2013, the battery life was absolutely dismal, I could take a photo on 100% battery, and it would die almost immediately afterwards. To use the phone effectively I had to keep it permanently on charge.
My main concern here is that since having the aforementioned problem fixed by buying a new battery, it will now not charge at all, unlike previously where it would actually just charge but die almost immediately. I have scoured as many forums online related to my problem, and I have tried everything I possibly can to get my phone to charge. Unfortunately in the time it has taken me to sort it out, my phone has died and now will not switch on, even while "on charge."
Coukd this be a problem with the phone itself?
Should I have this seen to? I am beginning to feel quite disillusioned with my endless phone problems.
Sidenote: My iPhone was a gift from my father who bought it in England for me while on holiday in November 2012. My sister has one too - and I have tried charging my phone with her cable - no result. I don't think the warranty will be able to help at all, I doubt my dad still has the papers.
Please can someone shed some light on what I can do, or if anyone has had similar problems?
Thanks in advance

iPhones are not user or anyone else serviceable
Apple do not repair iphones all defective units are returned for refurbishment to the manufacturing Plants and in South Africa all service and support is provided by the Apple Approved carriers
There are no "valid" batteries ,Apple does not offer battery service in SA and therefore who ever repaired the iPhone is not an authorised repairer and also Apple does NOT sell spares
Your iPhone has been tampered with by unauthorised servicers and you have therefore voided any help with your device from Apple or here ,sorry

HT1476 Why will my iPhone 4S not charge when it is plugged in?

I have plugged my iPhone 4S into a computer and it will not charge, even though the computer recognizes the phone as an external device.
What should I do?

What happens when you plug the phone to the wall outlet using the same usb cord?

Battery status showing "not charging" when power adapter is plugged in

I just bought a brand new Magsafe adapter 60w for my macbook but it seems that when i plugged in to my macbook, the battery status showed "not charging". I have to disconnect and plug in again. This also happened when I used my previous power adapter, that is why I got a new one. Is this a common problem? Please advise what could be done.

Hi
Try resetting the SMC. This sometimes solves this type of problem, in fact, it's listed as one of the reasons why you should try this:

Iphone 5 Not Charging When On.

I have a Iphone 5 and for the past week it wont charge up when turned on, I have tried 5 different cables, Apple ones and ones I have bought off the internet and none seem to work, anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried a different charger and outlet?
Have you done a reboot by olding both the power and home buttons until the apple log appears?
You may need to take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

My phone will not charge when plugged into charger

Anybody have a solution when your iphone will charge charge

If the iPhone does not charge when connected to your computer either, the problem is with the cable being used or with the iPhone. If when using the power adaptor only, the problem is with the power adaptor.

My iPhone is not charging in my 2009 Infinity

My iPhone is not charging when connected to my 2009 Infinity. I'm getting a " charging is not supported" message on the screen. Funny thing is that my older iPod would sync and charge when connected. Anyone know why or how I can fix this?
Thanks

To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
But I think that this is a hardware issue. If this started after the battery has been replaced, bring it back to the Service Provider and let them check the phone, the replacement of a battery is also covered by a repair warranty.

Xperia T doesn't charge when power is off

My Xperia is not charging when power is off. Normally it showed a battery when I put this phone in the dock for charging, but nothing happens. It will only charge when the power is on....What can I do to make the phone charging with power off?

You can try a couple of things:
Tap Settings > WiFi > and then the blue ">" next to the network name. Find "Renew Lease" and tap on that.
Tap Settings > Airplane Mode On. Wait a few seconds and turn it back off.

My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer. It will, however, charge to the car or wall. The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer. It will, however, charge to the car or wall. The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone. I've since deleted this podcast with no luck. I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck. One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update. Anyone have a fix for this?

You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond
So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

1. Reset iPad

5. Clean Lightning port with compress air
