HT4993 My wall adapter doesn't charge my phone

I just got a new wall adapter for my iPhone 4S and it won't charge my phone I know the charger works because I tried it on my iPod .

It could be that your wall adapter isn't putting out enough power to charge the iPhone (if you check, I believe that you will see an iPod Touch takes a lower current to charge than an iPhone does).
Another possibility is that there is something with your iPhone.  If you haven't restarted it recently, you might try that first.  Next check to make sure that there is nothing in the dock connector (lightly brushing it out with a new, dry tooth brush might help there).  If that fails, try taking it to a Genius Bar to see if they can get it to charge.

  • Wall adapter not indicating charging process

    My wall adapter of iPhone 3G "works" very strange: when I connect it to iPhone nothing happens. No bolt on battery in status bar. Lock screen shows just a background, no battery indication. And battery level does not change until I disconnect wall adapter from iPhone! After few secs charge icon in status bar changes to 100%! I tried only big charge timess so iPhone could fully charge.
    So I just feel very uncomfortable of not knowing if charge process has began or I forgot to connect one of the wires

    When you plug in to charge, the battery indicator should appear on the screen and the icon in the upper right of the battery will have a lightning bolt on it to indicate charging.

  • Alpine adapter doesn't charge as fast as the cigarette lighter adapter

    I've got an alpine CDE-102 deck, and this cable adapter.
    http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/kce-433iv/
    it pipes in the audio and says it charges too, but it doesn't seam to me like it's charging as fast as if I use a regular cigarette lighter adapter.. I've also had it sometimes say this device wasn't made for iPhone yadda yadda. so when that happens, I'm guessing it's screwing up and putting out Voltage or amperage outside of what the iPhone wants? it says right on the product site that it is compatible with iPhone 2g and 3g... of course it doesn't say 3Gs.. which is what I have.

    Charge Up!
    Keep your iPod charged while you're on the go. No need to worry about draining the battery, once you're plugged in with the KCE-433iV, your iPod is juiced up to play the whole drive long.
    think I've got a bad deck? a bad connection?
    anybody else had this same experience?

    Yes. Car outlets are 12V nominal. Your charger will work fine.

  • Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?

    Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?
    My power adapter doesn't charge my computer anymore. however the charge light is on.
    Please help my battery is draining fas

    So, with your power adaptor connected not only does the battery not charge but the powerbook is not running on ac power. Then I guess the power adaptor is faulty. In as much as you've verified this with a known good one a new one is in order. Try yours in another powerbook to make sure.

  • HT1476 My iphone 4s doesn't charge at all.  Via wall adapter, or usb regardless of cable).  Always shows plug icon, never the lightning bolt.

    My iphone 4s worked perfectly fine for 1 year.  Then all of a sudden one day it quit charging.  It does show the plug icon (regardless of how charged it is), but the battery percentage number keeps dropping.  It drained completely and I took it to get repaired.  They changed the battery, which gave me one more day.  (long enough to back up my pictures and take a few screenshots showing this plug icon regardless of charge level. 
    I have tried 3 different cables, and have tried to charge my phone on two different computers.  No results.  I reset back to factory settings/ installed the newest system update.  Still no results. 
    Please help. 

    Never overlook the simple, physical cause of a problem. It is too easy to go for "this is an advanced complex electronic device therefore the problem must be equally complicated"
    Decades ago used to man a technical support phoneline. Loads of problems with external hard drives. The outstanding solution was "Is it plugged in? Is the power outlet switched on?".........

  • HT1459 not charging through computer or wall adapter

    my brand new ipod touch won't charge through computer or wall adapter please help?????

    When I connect my new 80G iPod to my computer, it
    syncs, but it doesn't seem to be charging. The icon
    is a steady green with a picture of a plug, but when
    unplugged the battery is near empty. Shouldn't the
    icon flash and show a lightening bolt when charging?
    That's what it does when I charge from the wall.
    Why isn't my charging through the computer?
    Thanks.
    Sheldon
    I figured it out. I had the iPod plugged into a USB hub, but since it's an unpowered hub, the iPod won'charge through it. When I go directly to the computer, all is well.

  • [Sprint] Palm Pre Not Charging via Wall Adapter

    I noticed this morning that my phone battery was not fully charged before leaving for work. So, I tried switching USB cords and plugging it into the wall -- nothing. I then tried charging through the USB port in the PC and my system recognized the Pre and gave me the option to charge it. This happened suddenly as the wall adapter worked the night before. I also tried the car charger and it works as well.
    Anyone else have their wall adapter fail all of a sudden? I ran the test for the wall adapter on the Pre and it failed to recognize that it was plugged in to the wall adapter. I'm trying to figure out if it's just the adapter that tanked suddenly or if the actual phone is the problem.
    Thanks!

    I've had this happen a couple times, but it doesn't appear to be related to the source of power.  Sometimes it doesn't tell me that it is charging.  And once in awhile it does, but the battery either continues to drain or stays steady.  Seems rather random, so I guess you just have to monitor the charging progress.

  • Ipod won't charge on wall adapter

    So you are saying that you followed all of the steps in the support document for problems with connection, including removing and reinstalling iTunes? You do not say what you have tried, so it is hard to make recommendations. If this is the case, then you have tried resolving driver issues? What if you go to Device Manager and look for the iPhone. You should be able to click on it and see about drivers. You can update/reinstall the device driver.

  • 5G will not charge from wall adapter

    My new 15 gig 5G will not charge from a 5 volt wall adapter.It charges fine on the USB port on my computers.
    So I decided to take a USB extension and cut it an place a current meter in series with the 5 Volt on the USB line.What I found is that it will draw ~500ma with the data lines connected in the cable(in other words a normal cable). Now if I disconnect the data wires so that I am only connecting the 5 volts from the USB port it will draw ~100 ma for a second and then draw no current.It appears that some kind of handshaking is required. Is this normal?
    As it is now I will not be able to ever charge it from a 5 volt supply.Do they do something to the data lines on wall adapters?

    Well I finally got my "dumb" USB charger (a Belkin F8Z009 Power pack) to work with my iPod 5G 30GB. To wake up the 5G needs to see 2.5 volts on it's data lines. The easiest way to do this is with a voltage divider made with two equal resistors. Like this:
    As a poof of concept I made the device below with four 30K resistors but anything from 10K to 50K should work fine.
    A more compact wake up cable could be made by cutting into a standard USB male-female extension cable and soldering in four resistors like this:
    Of course if your building your own or can get your "dumb" USB charger open then the resistor voltage dividers can go inside.

  • The wall adapter for the palm pre charger

    can the wall adapter for charging the palm pre also be used with an ipod touch charge cord? both are usb ends that can plug into the wall adapter

    Standard warning label caveat: You CAN use these chargers interchangeably as long as both devices use micro USB technology, and not mini USB. (Basically don't force the charger in the charging port.) However, it is recommended that you only use chargers and equipment designed for and that came with your device.

  • Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod

    Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod touch

    No offense, but that's nice. I heard I was wrong and that what I said didn't make sense, so I simplified it. If I'm wrong, fine, but you have no reason to be such a *****. You never explained why I was wrong and you were right, so how am I or anyone else suppose to know that for sure? Then I tell you my source, and you insult me some more and then ask for my background, which as for this area goes, I already gave you. I worked at an Apple store for Christmas and was told by someone on the Genius team to tell customers not to charge iPads via iPhone chargers, as they had been known to fry the adapter or in one weird case, the actual outlet. Now I could see the outlet blowing be a bunch of other contributing factors, and not directly associated with the charger. However, the topic arose when a customer came in because her iPhone wall adapter didn't seem to be working, but wasn't that old, and admitted to charging her iPad with it. Why would I NOT believe that?
    And my DEEPEST apologies on commenting on old threads. I know how vital that is to existance and what an inconvenience it is to EVERYONE else. I'll be honest, I wasn't checking dates as I assumed suggested posts with like one answer near the top of the list were newer.
    Fine, I did something foolish, but I still win as I'm not either of you heartless ****** with nothing better to do than Internet harass others. Congratulations on your existences.
