IPhone 4 disconnecting while charging (different chargers)

Hello,
My iPhone 4 has two seperate apple branded chargers and it has had a problem changing on both. It will charge fine sometimes but others it will connect/disconnect repeatedly and vibrate while it is doing it. I have checked the connections on the cords but nothing seems loose.
Occasionally it will give me a error that it does not recognize the charge cord. Do I have two fauly cords or is my iPhone the problem?
Version 4.3.3
Thank you,
Rayvin

I plugged it into one of the cords this afternoon (that it has charged fine from before at times and flickered in it's connection at others) and I received a "Charging is not supported with this accessory" error. I reset the iphone 4 and it is not charging without errors. But I have reset before only to have this come back. Is there a permanent fix?
Thank you.

Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging?

Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging? It seams like it is at every 10% increment, I get a "beep". I keep the phone by my bed at night and this is bothering me! This has been happening only for a short while, the phone was new last December. I do not keep real close track of the last IOS update so I can not "blame" it on that or some "wierd App" that has "altered" my phone!
So if anyone has an idea, please share!
Brian

why don't you bring your phone to Apple for battery diagnostics. I assume you've tried a different charger and cable.

This accessory is optimized for iphone/no music while charging in car

I have an iPhone 3GS when I charge in my car I get a message this accessory not optimized for IPhone. What does this mean? Secondly, while charging on this charger I get no sound when trying to listen to music. Thanks for your help in advance

I would highly doubt that the battery pack and car charger would both be defective!
I said no such thing!
I said if you are using the same cable with both devices, it is probably the cable.
I also said this can also mean your iPhone's dock connector port has some damage - likely due to mositure damage.

WIFI Disconnecting while Charging iPhone 4S

I charge my iPhone everynight while I sleep. I have it plugged into the wall. When I open my phone in the morning I check my data manager and most mornings it's already used 2-10mb of data. Not good when I only have 300mb for the month. When I first open my phone, it has the 4G icon at the top until I unlock it then the WIFI re-connects. Why is my WIFI not staying connected while it's charging and what is it doing to use that data? I have tried killing all my apps, turning off backups and syncs, data pushes and everything, but it's still using data for something. I even turned off the Cellular Data one night and it still had used 3mb of data! Any thoughts? I've had this problem before and after iOS 6 update.

HT4623 what do i do if my iphone got disconnected while upgrading?

i was upgrading my software to the new ios 6 when a family member disconnected the iphone halfway while it was upgrading. now the phone only shows the black screen with the silver apple on it and it wont shut off or continue upgrade when connected again. what do i do to fix this problem? does anyone have any ideas?

Do not try to charge it or turn it on.
Let it dry for a week or so, then try it.
If that fails, then it is time for a new phone

My iPhone 5s restarts while charging and none of my downloaded apps will open

MMy iPhone 5s restarts every time I plug it in to charge. And none of my downloaded apps will open except for a few. I've restartedmy phone, deleted the apps then redownloaded them, ive reset my network settings, and even reset all of my settings in general. But nothing will work

Hello d.ashley.,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

IPhone 4, works while charging, crashes when not

Hi,
So I have an iPhone4 and it keeps crashing. It is fine while it is charging but as soon as I take it off the charger it crashes. What could it be?
Trying to wait for the new iPhone but this is a huge problem.
NKM14

The same this has happened to me as of 6-7 weeks ago. I thought it might have been a new app I downloaded within the preceding fortnight but even removing this didn't fix it.
It also tells me at times that there is no battery with the 'plug in screen' coming up, but when I plug it in it can have anything up to 100% battery.
When it crashes, I push the top button, the Apple logo comes up (like the turning on screen) and I can see the previous window that had been displaying at the moment of the crash still imprinted on the screen. The only thing that will ensure smooth running is when it is plugged into a power source and yet I've had the occasional crash that way too.
When not plugged in and it does run there is a constant flicker at the bottom half of the screen.
As far as I can tell it appears to be an issue with the update of ios from 7.1.1 and up. Is there anyway that an Apple rep could confirm or deny it?
Or offer a possible solution to help fix it?

IPhone 3G Disconnected while upgrading. Now it is not working!!

Hi.
I have attempted to upgrade my iPhone 3G from 3.1.2 to iOS 4.1.
This is exactly what happened:
- Since I had an old iTunes version on my Win XP laptop, I had to uninstall and install the newest version (10) of iTunes.
- I connected my iPhone to iTunes, and it automatically detected that I need to upgrade (!!!), so I hit update
- After downloading the 4.1 OS for my iPhone, it started extracting the update
- After extracting the update it validated it with Apple server
- After that the iPhone restarted and it started to install (no progress on the progress bar, though!!)
==> I am not sure at this point if there was an accidental disconnection or not!!!
-- The iTunes gave an Error and the iPhone is not functional anymore
Now, the iPhone only runs in DFU mode, and requires to be connected to iTunes
When I connect it to iTunes, it says that it needs to restore it.
When I try to restore, it gives me Error code 3014.
I have googled this error code, but it is not working
I tried to upgrade to an older firmware, but it gives me Error Code 9 in iTunes.
One more thing I notices:
Every time I try to upgrade, and right after it gives the error in iTunes, I get a windows error that an application called "MDCrashReportTool" has encountered a problem and needs to be closed and that I need to send a report to Microsoft (The regular windows send/don't send dialog!!!)
Please help me with this, as I am extremely worried about my iPhone!!!

Any suggestion could help, even if you think it would not

Disconnecting While Charging?

this happened yesterday where in I put my computer to go to 'sleep' after only 10 minutes of no activity(dont ask why)
my ipod during that time (and after my computer went into sleep mode) was being charged and being updated for new songs,after a few hours in returning to my computer I 'woke' my computer from sleep mode and saw on my itunes the message the OK sign that my ipod was updated and ok to eject,but when released it,my ipod still had that message of "Do Not Disconnect",so I had to reset it again,and everything was fine and went to back normal
does this in any way damage the ipod or battery function?

Weird touchscreen response while charging iPhone 4.?

Hi,
I used to charge my iPhone 4 via USB Chord using my laptop only. But recently I shifted to charging it through the power adaptor which comes along the Apple iPhone 4. But during charging, my touchscreen acts weirdly, I touch somthing and some other app opens.. I cant even unlock it during charging..
I am using the Official Apple Power Adaptor and the Official Apple iPhone 4 USB Chord which comes inside the box along with Apple iPhone 4.
I even tried charging my iPhone 4 with Official Apple Power Adaptor BUT WITH the USB Chord of Apple iPod Classic also. But the problem still persists..
I have tried charging my iPhone with its cover on and even without its cover on.. But no relief..
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue on my iPhone 4S. While charging, the touch screen will perform wildly inaccurately. I will touch one spot on the screen and an entirely different section of the screen will react.
I bought this in to the apple store and got my phone replaced under warranty.
Still, my new phone is having the exact same problem. This is incredibly frustrating, especially b/c I try not to charge my battery until it is very low (as you should with LI batteries). This often means I'm charging my phone during the work day and cannot use it b/c of the screen issue.
Could it be a software issue since I am experiencing this on two different phones?

HT4623 why does my phone keep beeping while charging

I have just installed OS Version 6.1. Now my iPhone keeps beeing while charging. Does anyone know why and how I can turn off this annyoing sound?

Have basics from the manual (reset, restart, restore) been tried?
Check the accessibility features on the device to ensure something did not accidentally get turned on.

My iphone won't charge and won't play music anymore. I have tried reseting it and switching it off. Have tried 3 different chargeres and even a car charger. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

I have an iPhone 4 not quite 2 years old. 2 nights ago my iPhone was on its charger and it kept vibrating as if it was being disconnected and re-connected from the charger. When I looked at it had an "error" message but now I don't know what that was as it was 3am and I was half asleep. I just diconnected the charger and the battery read fully charged.
The my volume wouldn't go up or down. The box with "ringer" in it came up but no bars at the bottom to show the volume is increasing or decreasing. It would not play music out of the speakers either even though the screen showed it was playing and it would not work in our dock/speaker unless I used bluetooth and even then, if we touched the volume button on the dock it would switch off.
I tried a "hard" reset 3 times and tried switching it off and on 3 times with no success.
I tried 3 different chargers including a car charger, plus the speaker dock with no success.
It is now out of battery and I cannot charge it.
The iPhone also would not back anything up prior to the battery going flat.
I just need to know if it is fixable or do I need to start looking for a new phone?
