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.

Satellite P300 recently stopped charging when switched on

My Toshiba P-300 has recently stopped charging when switched on.
I have no concept as to how this has happened.
It will charge fine when the laptop is either in sleep or switched off, but once it has been turned on it will not remain charging.
Anybody know what's causing the problem, or has anyone else encountered this before.
How was it solved?
Thanks

You must understand that charging process works automatically and it is controlled by power supply electronic. I dont know why this happen and answer to this can give you service provider after notebook check.
Anyway, Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model and described issue can be related to defective battery.
When the notebook is ON and OS loaded remove battery for few seconds and put it back. Will charging procedure start or not?

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.

I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

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.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

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.

My iPhone 4 has recently stopped charging

I hardly ever sync my phone with my iTunes account, but I did on Tuesday and since then I have had problems charging it. First it starting saying that my car charger was not supported by iPhone, so I charged it on my laptop using the sync cable. Then last night the battery ran completely dead, and now it won't charge with the sync cable either. When first plugged it it brings up the empty battery icon, with the plug, arrow and charge symbols underneath, so it's not actually charging at all. Been on the phone to apple support and they got me to try the hard reset which didn't work, and told me basically it's knackered and I will have to pay £120 for a refurbished one. I just find it same that it worked fine until I synced it with iTunes the other day. Has anyone got any advice? Thanks.

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.

IPhone 6 recently stopped ringing and making text alert sounds since most recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth). has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

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 3gs has recently stopped holding charge

My iphone has recently stop holding charge, it can be completely charged and will died in a hour to 2. It also has been shutting on and off, on me. It freezes contastly and will take as high as 5 minutes to get into a app. I was hoping someone would know or will have some information on it. Thanks !!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Check Settings > Messages > Send and Receive to make sure you phone number is selected.

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.

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.

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.

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.
