Iphone 4 completly dead

doesn't charge, May be dead battery, constantly problems since thursday. First no sim card then a brick. This is a bad apple!

Connect your device to a mains charger, and press and hold both the lock (on/off switch) and the home button at the same time. Keep holding these two buttons until you see a faint empty battery/charging battery icon on your iPhone's screen. Once this appears, release the buttons, and leave it to continue charging. Once charged again you'll be able to use it.
Sometimes iPhones can 'freeze' in standby, which to the naked eye the device just appears locked, but all this time it's actually draining battery extremely fast, so the next time you go to use it, it's completely dead. The above method forces the iPhone to reboot, using power from the mains, allowing it to continue charging back to a usable state.
If you don't see the charging logo appear on your device after holding the buttons, it'd be safe to assume your iPhone has some sort of hardware fault preventing it from powering on.

  • Completely DEAD iPhone 3GS, Data Recovery ?HELP?

    I have a iPhone 3GS 16GB, The other day it just went off? tried unplugging it from the mains and plugging it back in again, but nothing happened.
    I tried to get it to go into DFU mode, Nothing!
    Plugged it into my Desktop PC, Nothing showed in itunes?
    I had it tested by a local phone shop and they said they did all the scans/checks and whatnot that they could and the iphone is a complete dud!:(
    But i really need the data that is on there?
    I have been told that if i take it to an apple store they can do a data retract for me?
    What are my options for a complete dead iphone but needing the data on there?

    Apple does not offer and will not perform any data recovery service.
    A simple google search will reveal multiple data recovery services, if you really need such a service and are willing to pay an arm, a leg, and give up your first born child for that data.
    If the device has been used as designed, it would have been backed up regularly to iTunes or iCloud.
    Simply restore that backup to a new iOS device.
    Contacts and calendars should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device should be regularly copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.

  • My Iphone 4s shuts off once it drops below 20% battery as if its completely dead. Before the update it would stay on until at least 5% or less.

    I have updated my phone to the most recent but now my phone will randomly shut off after it drops below about 20% battery life... tonight I was at 21% and it shut off as if it was completely dead. Yesterday it died completely at 13%. It doesn't turn back on until it is plugged in and sometimes it will pop back on immediately after being plugged in. Is there a way to fix this or does another small update to fix this have to come out?

    I have the same issue. I think it may be related to cold weather. I am now inside writing this without plugging it in immediately after it repeatedly shut off outside with ~18% battery. This is really bad. It almost left me stranded as I was expecting to call for a ride.

  • IPhone 4 completely dead

    Hi there,
    I tried to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 yesterday, as some of my recently updated apps had stopped working (I guessed this was a compatability issue?). This failed. I then followed the trouble shooting guide & it suggested I put the phone in recovery mode which I tried to do. However, the phone is now completely dead- it won't accept charge & is not recognised at all in itunes. I've tried the hard reset (holding home & power for 30s) but this doesn't do anything.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before (have tried a few searches which haven't revealed anything) or have any suggestions? It's pretty annoying since I was only updating to keep my apps working & I now don't have a working phone!
    Thank you for any help!
    Matt

    You may have done the procedure incorrectly and actually put it into DFU mode, Device Firmware Update. Follow these simple steps:
    1. Hold down the "home" + "power" button simultaneously.
    2. After 12 seconds of holding, release the home button and continue to hold the power button until the apply logo screen comes on
    This should work, reply if you've had any luck.

  • Help...!!!! After down loading the latest software version 5.0 my iPhone went completely dead. I can't switch it on... It's completely dead. What do I do..?

    Can someone help please..? After down loading to the latest software verssion 5.0. My iPhone went completely dead. Can't swith on any more. What can I do?

    Hi, thank you very much for your reply. No my phone was never been jailbreak-ed. Never been dropped in water or in any wet surface. Dropped on the floor while texting yes, but it was just a one time incident, last year august i can clearly remember, but after that no more (phone still works fine even after.) restored the phone again earlier, but problem still occured. Will try to go to Apple also to ask and have it checked.  Just worried because my phone is already out of warranty. Will keep you posted. Again, thanks. If you have any more advice just let me know. It would mean a lot.
    Cheers,

  • Help! :( iPhone 4 completely dead.

    Hey guys..so yesterday my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) went completely dead. Still had a full battery and I set it down for a couple of minutes and when I picked it back up again it wouldn't turn on. I plugged the charger back and still nothing happened. I made my trip to the apple store and made an apt with the genius bar and they couldn't even solve the problem. I've tried doing the hard reset multiple times, from 20 seconds to about 60 and still nothing. Can anyone help me figure this out and fix it? I'd have to pay $149 or $199 to replace it and frankly I think that's not right since I had nothing to do with it malfunctioning. Any help would be grand! xx

    There's nothing much anyone here can do about it. If they told you at the Apple Store that you would have to pay for a replacement because it's out of warranty, then that's what you'll have to do. It doesn't matter whether or not you had anything to do with it. The warranty is 1 year. If that's expired, you have to pay. Just like any other warranty on anything you buy.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 4S was completely dead

    My iPhone was completely dead because I fell asleep at a low percentage. SO naturally I plugged it in when I woke up. I check my phone about 10-15 minutes later and my phone is at 60%. I unplugged it and it seems to be acting normal
    But is this something I should get checked?

  • My iPhone 4 is completely dead. How do I get it on?

    My iPhone 4 is completely dead. I've tried everything I can think of but it won't turn on. It had been working ok until I shut it down at night and in the morning I couldn't get it to turn back on. Is there a way I can get it back on or is it completely shot? Thanks.

    It was working fine, the battery was about 75%. It completely shut down on its own (black screen), no error messages. Now I cannot get it to come back on. If I plug it into iTunes nothing show up. It acts like the battery is totally dead, but I'm sure it's not.
    When I hold down the home and power buttons nothing happens.

  • 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.
