Iphone 4 charging connectivity

I have had my IPhone 4 through Verizon for almost 2 years now. Recently it stopped being able to charge - through car charger, wall charger, and USB ports. Itunes wont recognize it...nothing works. I finally shut it down with about 4% power left. The prongs to the connector are look straight and in tact...with no dust/dirt clogging them.
I went to Verizon and they told me to submit an insurance claim. I contacted my insurance company through Verizon (Asurion) and they want $169 to give me a replacement Iphone. I don't have an upgrade through Verizon until November of this year...so I cant use that option.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to pay $169 for a replacement IPhone especially when there is likely a new model coming out this year which I planned to purchase.
Should I take my phone to the Apple store to see if they can fix the connection? I don't have apple care...not sure if that matters.
Thanks!

If you have alternate ipod cables available try those.
If you are using a dock see if you can bypass it and connect directly
Check for debris in the dock connector at the bottom
Check to make sure your case isn't doing something weird to the power button
Try some basic troubleshooting

Is there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?

s there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?
Sometimes i sleep and the my iphone is charging and of course the battery became full after two or three hours, and definitely i will not wake up in the midnight to just disconnect the charger, please i need your help.

This is considered normal use. I think everybody does this, including myself. It's not something to worry about in the least bit.
Just remember to complete a full charge cycle (allow the phone's battery to discharge to 10%-20%, then charge uninterruped to 100%) once a month and you'll be fine.

All of a sudden my iphone stopped charging and you can't hear the music through my ihome iH150 when I connect it to the dock, what can I do to fix the ihome? The ihome does turn on and I already checked for dock possible problems and I don't see anything.

I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

You need to restore the iPhone via recovery mode. To do this follow the link below to guide you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Because you need to restore to factory settings all data on the iPhone will be erased. Because the iPhone was never backed up most of the data you won't be able to get back.

My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
How can I correct this?

I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

Your signature say iOS4.3.1.
If you have a 3G, you cannot be running 4.3.1
iOS4.3.x and higher requires a 3GS.
While this has no bearing on your current issue... it could cause confusion if you need assistance in the future with other iOS related issues.
Make sure you know which device you have. Identify iPhone models.

IPhone wont charge or connect to itunes, needs hard reset

Last night at dinner I knocked over my glass of milk into my lap, soaking my pocket where my iPhone was. I cleaned it off and everything worked fine. However, whenever i tried to charge it the iPhone would repeatedly connect and discconect to the charger, back and forth for a few seconds until it'd say it was charging. It never gained any charge, and after 3-4 minutes it would connect and disconnect again. I looked it up online and I found a post describing my situation perfectly. They fixed the problem by performing a hard reset. The problem I have, is that my iPhone is out of batteries and it won't respond to a hard reset. It also won't connect to iTunes on my mac, so I can't reset it from there. What can I do to fix this?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

My dad bought a new USB charger for his iPhone 3GS after connecting it it kept restarting I got it to recovery mode but wen restoring I get a msg error (01)

So my dad bought a new USB cable for his iPhone 3GS wen he connected the iPhone to charge he said it turned off n turned on after but then it kept on restarting every 1min.. But it goes to main screen then it restarts over n over I manage to get it into recovery mode n I connected to itune were it asks me to upgrade n restore wen I click ok it starts normal to download n get up to restoring iPhone wen it's about to finish a msg pops up on iTunes saying "iTunes could not restored because an error was detected on iPhone (error 01) .
I tried a whole bunch of times trying to restore but I won't get through at all
Any other ideas would be glad to know I also tried getting out of dfu mode but it just won't .

Is your software up to date? You also should be able to leave DFU mode easier then you get in it. DFU mode means nothing is on your iPhone's screen when restoring.

Question regarding iphone and charger

Hello,
I have a scenario and 2 questions I would like to ask you
Scenario:
Iphone with 100% charged battery, iphone is still connected to laptop USB or wall power socket.
True or False:
a) the iphone draws power directly from the charger, the battery does not supply power to the iphone until the charger is disconnected.
b) the iphone draws power from the battery --> the battery draws power from the charger (laptop or wall)
Thanks in advance
Bogdan

The Apple hardware, iOS devices and MacBook Pros, charge until the battery reaches 100%. At that point the charging circuit shutsdown and the device operates on line or external power until the charge level drops to 93-95% by normal trickle down. At that point the charging circuit switches to charge the battery.
So, as long as you are not charging the battery, and still plugged in, the device will run off line power.

Linksys help. Already tried to search forums. AirPort 'on', full signal strength but cannot connect to internet. PC, iphone, ipad all connect fine. Any ideas?

So I have been using my imac for 15 months. Never had a problem with going online. Until yesterday. Now its impossible. I am connecting via a linksys router (model WRT54G2) version 1.5. I have tried resetting modem, router. Nothing. Keep in mind my PC, iphone, ipad all connect fine to the wireless signal. It is only the imac that won't connect. The strange thing is when I check network settings it says it is connected to a linksys router at full strength. But when I click Safari, it says I am not connected. I am completely at a loss. Any help is much appreciated as Apple wants to charge me $50 for tech support, linksys $40 and Cox Communications $75. I love the lack of customer service.

I resolved a similar internet connection issue at a friends house recently, the problem was the router was set to only accept 5 wireless devices. This was not an issue before, but soon as his sons got a new wireless phones and a Mac Book Air, it used up all the available DHCP connections from his router.
His computer had the same issue,
- was connected,
- had a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address
- did not have the DNS or router address in his current network settings.
The key point here is the same as yours, that all other devices were connected and could surf with Safari, except for that one device, in your case the iMac.
I determined his problem by manually assigning a 192.168.1.x IP address, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, dns for his ISP and router address of 192.168.1.1. This worked, however it wouldn't when set to DHCP... went back to a 169 address.....
The real problem, the router was config'd to allow only 5 dhcp addresses to be giving out, once the 6 device tried, it would show a wireless full bar connect, a 169 address and wouldn't connect to the internet as Safaria stated it wasn't connected to the internet.
The real fix is to raise the number of dhcp wireless devices to a higher number, or possibly shorten the lease times so others can connect. He couldn't remember the password he changed on the linksys, so I left the network settings on his 6th wireless device in manual mode till he does remember the linksys password.
I bet thats was your case too. Linksys/Cisco is one of the best routers out there, I'd use airport Apple's second, and would not recommend NetGear because of support and technical issues in the past.
