Iphone 4 doesn't charge after water splashed on it

my Iphone 4 fell in water. after that I faced some problems with both hardware and software that was solved after two hours but when the charge was over I couldn't charge it again...connecting the port to computer or plugged in nothing happens and it is not charging

The problem could be anything. The easiest thing to do is open it up and replace the battery. They are like 12 bucks online and really easy to replace your self. If its anything else like the charging port, it is possible, but takes a while to replace. Other than that, take it to an iphone repair place.

Iphone 4s doesn't charge after upgrade to ios7

My iphone 4s stopped charing after upgrade to ios7. I thought this was caused by dirty charging port ,, but it isn't.
I connect to my wall charger and it starts charging, but after a couple minutes it stops. The same issue when connected to my work PC. It only charges when connected to my mac !
I tried several home chargers and the problem remains the same.
I have this issue on both our household iphone 4s's ,!
Help this is terrible and my battery survives half a day now !

Same issue...ios7 upgrade...battery wouldn't hold charge...now it is dead...phone will not turn on or reset...
When plugged into a Mac for 2 hours, with the original USB cord, screen is blank...when pressing the sleep button, I get a picture of a battery with a tiny sliver of red...but not able to turn on.

Iphone 5 will not charge after water damage. Tried various solutions.

Hi all,
A few weeks ago i put my iphone 5 in the washing machine for about 30 seconds. I got it out ASAP but it was still noticably wet. I quickly padded it down and put it in a bag of rice for several days (luckily it was already out of battery when it went in).
After i had left it to dry out i plugged it in only to find the lightining cabel symbol comes up and it will not charge. So what i have done so far;
Changed battery- new battery still will not charge. However, when i did put a new battery in that held some charge the phone did turn on and everything was working fine.
Tried new lightning cable
Changed dock connector- still would not charge
Removed battery and cleaned entire phone with 99% isopropyl, dried and phone still would not charge.
I'm pretty lost here??? If everything was working fine when i put the new battery in apart from being able to charge i asssumed it must be the dock connector but apparently not.
I have heard it might be something to do with the USB/Power IC on the motherboard?? But im not sure if these can be replaced. I would just like to try everything myself before taking to apple as i know they will charge me a small fortune for out of warrenty repair.

So your telling me as soon as i open the phone the out of warrenty service is void as well (even if i were to put the old battery back in)?
Yes.
Is their an indicator to show the phone has been opened?
Yes. There are tamper indicators inside the phone.
People should have the right to change their battery or open their phone if they want instead of being forced to make a genius bar appointment for any type of service (apple stores are few and far between where i live).
You do have that right. But if you choose to exercise it, you forfeit your right to an out of warranty replacement.
Note: I took it to a repair shop re dock connector change. They changed it and it wouldnt work so they replaced old one and said apple wouldnt have a problem fixing it on the out of warrenty repair service.
They lied to you.
If the service is void i certainly will not be buying another iphone. I guess this is how apple make their money.
Go ahead. Try the same thing with another vendor... let us know how that works for you.

My phone iPhone 4S doesn't charge

My iPhone 4S doesn't charge unless I turn it off. I have tried using other cables which hasn't resolved the issue. It has no problem charging to 100% when it's off but it is very inconvenient to have to turn it off to charge the phone.

@mat8gt
No worries,try these ways.
1.Reboot your iPhone>>>>press the Home button and Power button at the same time for 10 seconds more or less.
2.Reset your iPhone as a new iPhone>>>>Setting--General--Reset--reset all the settings.

My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?, My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?

My Iphone 4 will not charge after ipdate to IOS 7.0.4, Does anyone have a solution ? I have tried apple cables and chargers. I see many have the same issue. Anyone made progress ?

No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS Just have a quick Google!
Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

HT201412 my iPhone 4s doesn't charge. tried multiple cables. went to Apple (had genius appointment) store thinking that I may need battery replaced. Met with an abrupt assistance. She looked at receptacle where cable plugs in, declared it corroded

My iPhone 4S doesn't charge. I tried multiple connectors. I'm thinking my battery needs replacing. I had an appt today at the Genius bar. The Apple associate was a bit abrupt. She looked at the receptacle where the connector goes. Declared it corroded and offered to sell me a new phone. I said it doesn't look that bad and I believe it may be the battery and asked if there is way to test if it was my battery. She said "no", according to what I'm seeing the receptacle is damaged due to the corrosion I'm seeing.
I didn't have the time nor the patience to deal with her and left in disgust
I'm thinking about going to another Apple store to have it checked out.
Any thoughts on this matter?

You can go anywhere you want. The notes about your previous visit and diagnosis will remain in Apple's records. Notes are attached to the serial number on the iPhone that was inspected.

Iphone 5 won't charge after being dead for three days.

Iphone 5 won't charge after being dead for three days due to power cable breaking. I got a new cable and it still will not charge. Is my phone broken in any way? What can I do to fix this?

Hey TalkBack12,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps I found for when your battery does not charge:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.

Since you got a new cable, I would concentrate on trying a cable other than the new one.

Do a soft reset - Hold your Sleep Button and Home Button for more than 10secs until you see the Apple logo. After restarting, try charge it again.
If this does not work, do a Hard Reset - go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/RESET/RESET ALL SETTINGS. Try charge it again.

IShuffle doesn't charge after updating to iTunes 8.1

I have the first gen iShuffle (1GB) & it's been working perfectly ever since I bought it last year but after updating my iTunes to 8.1 last week it doesn't charge nor play my songs in my iShuffle, it plays them in my Library but not on my iShuffle.
I don't know why or what's the problem? because my iShuffle still works when I remove it from my computer, it's just when I try to play it on my comp it doesn't work.
what should I do?

The usb port is directly on your macbook. Some people have usb hubs which plug into the usb port to multiply the number of usb devices you can have. Like this one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TQ776LL/A?mco=MzE2OTkyOA
Think plugging in a toaster directly to the wall versus plugging into a power strip.
Sometimes having a usb hub in the middle can mess with things... especially when the item draws power via the usb port. (like the shuffle does).
If you have a hub....try plugging the shuffle in directly on the macbook and see if it helps.

My iphone 4 doesn't charge when pluged in to my car stereo

My iphone 4 will not charge when plugged into my car stereo. has the hard wire for it. It worked with my ipod but not the iphone, it say acc. not optimized?

Which iPod model?
Some iPod models can be charged via firewire in addition to being charged via USB. If the car stereo connection charges via firwire, it won't work with the iPhone. And if the car stereo does not include the "made for iPhone" certifcation, it may work but it isn't optimized or fully compatible or not compatible at all with an iPhone. Being compatible with an iPod does not automatically equate to being compatible with an iPhone.

IPhone 6 won't charge after 8.02 update

Hi,
Since the 8.02 update my iPhone 6 won't charge from any of my 3rd party cables and will only charge using the apple cable; despite my 3m cable being "apple approved" and the battery indicator showing its charging on the phone, the power still goes down even while it's plugged in and it's saying the phone is charging. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue since the update? All chargers are working fine on my iPad running 7.1.2 and worked fine while I was using 8.01 on my phone however since updating to 8.02 the only charger that seems to work is the official apple one which I'd rather not use as they aren't long enough. Any help would be appreciated.

For the iPhone 4S, Apple seems to have used a faulty WiFi chip which in some cases seems not to be able to handle the load of the iOS. This can lead to overheating issues which can eventually cause a hardware failure
As customers in good faith we bought this product
We paid a large amount of money (I paid some $800 last year) since we believed we bought a quality product in the believe we could use it -with good care of course- for at least 2, 3 or even 4 years to come
We upgraded the firmware from iOS 5 or 6 to iOS 7 since Apple advised us to do so (as is very obvious from the constant messages in the settings menu of the iPhone and in iTunes)
We followed all the regular procedures as advised by Apple in the upgrade
There is no way how Apple could hold us responsible for having done a 'wrong' installation, making us responsible for our own actions.
Apple has been aware for over a year the Apple 4S WiFi chip is not reliable (A Google search on iPhone 4S Wifi greyed out will proof my point) and was therefor fully aware this "greyed out" problem - which also occurred when iOS 6 was introduced, might very likely occur again with the introduction of iOS 7.
Since Apple did not inform her customers of this risk the customers were not given the choice to either upgrade (knowing the risks) or staying with the previous (working) version.
Apple does not enable the users to return to the previous version of iOS, and even if Apple would allow the users to return to a previous version, there is a great risk the hardware has become seriously damaged already in the upgrade to iOS 7, making this not a feasible option.
As result of this us, we, customers are now stuck with an unusable iPhone for which we paid plenty of money and so support from Apple whatsoever in solving this issue.
I feel that Apple should take their responsibility and help her customers in solving this quality issue.
( One thing I am sure of, if Apple would be a car manufacturer or an airplane manufacturer they would never get away with this, and would be forced to do a recall)
My message to Apple:
You know thousands of your customers are affected by this fault. It is now time to act. Taking responsibility never hurts (even if you for some reason feel you are not fully to blame) It gives you credit. And credit gives you loyal customers.

Iphone 4s not charging after water damage and subsequent new battery

My phone got wet in my pocket during a rainstorm last week. After drying it out it appeared fine except that the battery won't charge. It does however appear that its charging, It makes the noise when connected to the charger and the battery icon has the charging symbol next to it. I've changed the battery and the problem persists. Do you think the charging circuits have been damaged? What should my next step be?

Unfortunately, your next step is to find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not touch that one now that you opened it.
Apple does not sell iPhone parts including batteries. The only possible sources are stolen parts, salvaged parts, or counterfeit parts.
You are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement.
Missed the part where he changed the battery.
