Iphone 4 Randomly stops Charging

I bought this phone a few weeks ago and up until a few days ago it has been great. However it developed an issue when trying to charge it from a depleated (under 20% state). If I plug the phone in at night it will hang on a certian precentage. This morning for example I woke up and it was at 22% after 8 hours of charge. I unplugged it and plugged it back in about 15 minutes ago and it is now at 28 and seems to be charging normally.
When this first happened two days ago I actually had to do a full restore to get it to charge past 20%. I am curious as to if anyone knows how to fix this issue... I have tried Hard Resets, clearing all the settings without any luck.
I would just like to be able to plug my phone in at night and wake up with it at 100%...
Thanks,
Mitch

I have tried 3 different cables, and both charging from a computer as well as the wall. And I can get it to continue charging by not unplugging the cable from the phone, but unplugging from the USB port on the computer and then reinserting. One would think that if it was a bent pin in the phone itself it would not continue charging?
Also I should mention that even when the precentage hangs the phone still says its charging.

  • My iPhone 5c has stopped charging what should I do

    Either my iPhone 5c has stopped charging or both of my chargers are broke please help me

    There's no FaceTime icon and no app since it's built-in.
    All you need is Wi-Fi and a connection to another iPod Touch 4 Gen, iPad 2, iPhone 4 & 4S and Mac
    Go to your contacts and find a friend that also has the Apple devices and Wi-Fi then tap faceTime.

    That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
    When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service.

  • My iPhone just randomly stopped working

    Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone has been having this problem.
    What happened was, when i was listening to music on my iStation at home the music randomly stopped, i thought i maybe the iStation stopped working but it turned out that my iPhone had stopped working. I tried to turn the iPhone back on but it didn't work.
    After freaking out for about twenty minutes the screen turned on. It was the screen that appears the first time the iPhone is turned on saying to connect it to iTunes. I did this and restored it and it's working now but i lost many new contacts and many important calender dates.
    Just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else and if i should be worried that it will do it again.
    Thanks

    I suggest subscribing to mobile me because when you enter a new contact or calendar event it automatically goes to the mobile me server and when you do have to restore your phone those contacts come back as soon as you enter your mobile me information. That was great when I upgraded to the IP4 because until I got home I had all my contacts on my phone without syncing to my computer.

  • IPhone 4 recently stopped charging.

    So I've had my iPhone 4 for a while now and just recently (tonight) it stopped charging. I plugged it into my friends charger and it very slowly started loosing battery life. So I tried my charger and it just constantly shows the "charging" icon. It's not a matter of which charger because it has been used with many different chargers before. Any suggestions?
    I dont want to take it to the apple store because I dont have a warranty on it...
    This *****...

    Syncing would have no affect on the ability for the battery to charge. What you describe with the car charger makes me wonder if there is something caught in the connector area of the phone. Try blowing that out with some compressed air. You can also take a soft toothbrush and brush the connector area slightly. Try another cable with the device and try connecting it individually to both the wall charger and then the USB on the computer and see if it will charge with either one.

  • My iphone 5 suddenly stopped charging.  It's not working on any of my charging devices or with the apple charger

    Just yesterday my IPhone 5 stopped charging.  It won't charge on any of my docks, nor from the computer or from the charger that comes with the phone.  Anyone have this problem and know what to do to fix it.  I don't want to upgrade to the IPhone 6, I like my Iphone 5.

    Hey Fran0417,
    I understand your iPhone is not charging no matter what you connect it to.  You have tried different charging sources.  To further isolate, have you tried more than one cable?
    Going further, please check out this article
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the battery doesn’t charge
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If that doesn't help, continue with the article to the end.

  • 2010 15" MBP will randomly stop charging and shut off

    Okay guys I have to say this computer has been absolutely bullet proof.  To start I have only noticed this since I have installed mavericks OS.  I tend to use my computer with an external monitor most of the time with the laptop still open so I can have dual displays.  Well lately ill be right in the middle of something and the computer will completely turn off.  I look at the charger (which is still plugged in) and the light is green and even if I press the power button the computer wont turn back on.  What I have to do is unplug the power adapter, wait a few seconds then plug it back in.  The light turns orange (charging) and the computer turns back on.
    Once back on the battery is completely dead.  Even though before it turned off it showed it was fully charged.  Another thing that is weird is that the cycle count on the battery increases by 2 or 3 whenever this happens.  Now im really trying to get to the bottom of this since I know  eventually this will happen when I am working on something important and ill lose everything.
    Does anyone have any suggestions.  Any help of input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    For reference this is a 15" 2010 macbook pro, i7 processor and 8GB of ram.

    Wait and see how it functions when you get it back,  At this point, you are just asking for speculation.

  • Iphone 5 Stopped Charging

    Hello,
    Last night my iphone would randomly stop charging and vibrate everytime I made a sudden movement. Today, it has stopped charging all together. It is very low on battery, and the phone is only a few months old since I recently upgraded. I never had this issue with my other phones, and didn't have it on this phone until I installed the iOS7.0.2 update.
    The pop-up message when it stopped charging each time was "This accessory may not be supported."
    What should I do? I'd appreciate any help.

    Fixed it. It is on Chevrolet's end. Press config to access the configuration settings. Turn menu/tune knob to highlight vehicle settings. Press menu/tune to select the vehicle settings menu. Choose return to factory settings.

  • Iphone 4s stops charging then overheats if kept plugged in

    I have been having a problem with my iphone for a couple weeks now where it will randomly stop charging (or stop recognizing the charger) even though it is not fully charged. If i dont notice that it has stopped charging the bottom of my phone will heat up to the point of causing burns to me. The cord on either end will also be super hot. I have used four different cables, two charging adapters, and my macbook and it has done it all on all of them. My computer will give me a warning saying that the usb is drawing too much power and will cut of supply or something. Sometimes it wont recognize the charger at all when I first put it in but I can take it out and replug it in and it will charge it for a little bit. I did do a docking port replacement about a month and a half ago due to the last one corrosion but the problem didnt happen till recently.
    Any Ideas? Im not having luck with googling anything. I also cant figure out if its a software or hardware issue. Please help! Thank you!

    It sounds like the previous repair you did created some problems. You should stop using it and setup Out of Warranty Service through Apple.

  • How do I fix my Iphone 5C that has stopped charging?

    My Iphone 5C has stopped charging. I got a new power chord and that did not help. I want it to work so I don't lose all of my pictures. suggestions?

    And with the new power cord it is not charging on the computer or the wall charger?
    Get  a flashlight and a magnifying glass and check the Lightning port on the iPhone. Clean any dirt/debris/lint, etc. that you find.

  • Music on my iPhone 5s starts, stops, speeds up and skips seemingly at random.

    Hi
    Randomly my iphone 5s (ios 8.1.3) starts playing music.  Also when I am listening to any sort of audio (podcast, music or a phone call), my iphone audio randomly stops, skips and speeds up.  I can be on a phone call and the phone call gets ended and music starts. 
    I've restarted, reset setting and cleaned my headphone jack and used various headphone and still have the issue.
    Any suggestions are appreciated

    Hi mnmboca,
    Is the Music app on your iPhone the only application that is behaving erratically?  If so, I would suggest backing up your iPhone, deleting all of the music and podcasts, and then re-downloading just a few songs that you've already purchased to monitor the behavior.  If the issue persists, you may need to restore the iOS, since Music is a part of the iPhone's operating system.  Here are some resources that will explain the steps in more detail:

    Tap an app for more detailed information about its usage.
    Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and all of its content.
    When you tap on the Music App, and tap Edit in the top right corner, You will see a red dot to the left of All Songs.  Tapping on that will remove all of the music from your iPhone.

  • My Iphone 4 won't charge at all

    My Iphone 4 has stopped charging. It started when it had about 60% bettery, I plugged it in to the wall charger and the only thing it did was change the battery icon into a plug instead of a lightning bolt. After that it just kept losing battery until it died. Even when it's dead it'll respond to the charger and the red battery icon with the lightning bolt under it will appear to say it's charging but it won't charge at all nor turn on. I have tried different chords, outlets, even plugging it into my laptop. Before it died I tried the hard reset several times by pressing the home button and lock button at the same time, but nothing happened. Itunes recognized my phone when i plugged it in but it still wouldn't charge. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me with this problem.

    Get it serviced.
