HT2101 My i Phone 4s suddenly takes hrs to charge and won't charge fully

My 4S suddenly takes hrs to charge (>12) and won't charge fully . No recent trauma, new downloads or unusual activity - any ideas?

Dependant on the age of your iPhone 4S it could be the battery is failing.  You could take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation.
Also worth trying a re-boot.  Press and Hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo then release.  You will not lose any data.

  • When my iphone 4s goes completely dead how long should it take to recognize the charger and begin to charge?

    when my iphone 4s goes completely dead how long should it take to recongize the charger and begin to charge?

    How do you know it is not charging? Do you see anything on the screen at all? Have you tried a reset? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. If the phone was completly dead, it may take up to 15 seconds or more for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My phone keeps turning of on its on and it doesnt charge sometimes

    Hi i need help
    my phone keeps turning of on its on and it doesnt charge sometimes it turning of randomly like i could be talking on the phone texting etc.

    This is most often due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • My iPhone 4 has just shut down.  Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge.  Any suggestions

    my iPhone 4 has just shut down.  Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge.  Any suggestions?  I did download a ringtone app and went on to iTunes to sync!. 

    Try charging the iPhone via a wall socket for at least 30 minutes then try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • When I plug my Droid Incredible 2 into a car charger the phone is now permanently in"Car Mode" and won't get out. I heard that Droid will fix this, but it hasn't happened.  Does anyone know how to fix i

    I have a Droid Incredible 2 phone.  I bought  car charger and ever since I have used it, the phone thinks it is in "car mode" even when the phone is in my home, my purse,...I sets to speaker and I can not hear the phone ring.  It freezes on "car mode".  I heard that Droid is supposed to be fixing the problem, but nothing has happened yet.  Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone at Verizon know when/if this will be fixed.  If not, I expect a new phone from Verizon.

    there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

  • Macbook Pro suddenly turned off when fully charged and won't restart. Charger not working either coincidently

    My 2 year old 13" MacbookPro suddenly turned off, presumably when the screen automatically dimmed (or went to sleep?) and now it won't turn back on. It was at 96% charge and now when I use the battery checker on the side, nothing shows up. No lights or anything. The charger doesn't seem to work either even after trying it on different outlets. This has never happened before but it has been harder to wake it from sleep in the last 6 months or so. I would have to push the On/Off button for a sec and the screen would turn back on. Also when I turn it on, the password screen is sometimes off-centered..weird.
    I'm using Yosemite, the latest version..not sure what it is and can't check right now...I had to go use a PC to ask this question >_<

    Try a SMC reset:

  • Phone barely charges and won't hold the charge it does get

    Yesterday I went for a run and had my phone on me....after the run, I noticed I had got a little sweat on the main screen (it was up against my body) Ever since then, I can not get it to charge above 50% (I'm lucky to get that much out of it) and whatever charge I can get, it drops FAST!! I had 35% and it died in about 20 minutes. I even had it plugged into my charger and was texting someone back and lost 3% battery sending that text while it was plugged in. I checked the headphone jack and the usb dock to see if the pink was there to show water damage and it was not. It is still white. My phone gets really hot when charging as well. There is no repair place in the vicinity I can go to until the weekend and I can not have my phone doing this the rest of the week. I NEED my phone for work! I am unfortunately a Verizon customer who is only 3 weeks away from my upgrade but they WILL NOT allow me to upgrade any earlier. Can someone PLEASE HELP! Oh and I will say this is NOT the first time I have gone running with my phone and got a little sweat on the screen...I just honestly CAN NOT think of ANYTHING else I did that would cause any problems...

    Hi Kim ...
    Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
    what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
    If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • HT201412 the phone keeps acting like its shutting down and won't do anything?

    The phone keeps powering down, then will act like it is rebooting and then powers down again.  It won't show that it's charging.

    Do not start it up again. Take it in for diagnostics and service.

  • HT201263 My phone is staying on Step 4 it won't even open Itunes.  Please help!  What is wrong with my phone?  It stays on that screen and won't do anything else.

    My phone is staying on Step 4 it won't even openn ITunes.  Just stays on that screen and does nothing else!  Please Help! 

    Have you tried holding the power and home button until it turns off?

  • The phone seems to shut down by itself, and won't start up w/out pressing power and home button

    I shouldn't have to reset the phone to start it up. What is triggering this?
    The phone will be shut off (pressed the power button on top). Normally, I just press the same button again, or the home button. Sometimes I have to reset the phone. It is a 4s with iOS 5.

    Is there anything at all on the screen? Try this procedure:
    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.
