IPhone 4S battery no longer holding a charge

My iPhone 4S is ~2.5 years old and it no longer seems to charge or hold a charge. I can leave it plugged in for a day or more and it will only charge 3-5% or it'll actually start to **lose** charge while plugged in. It'll also lose charge if I start doing anything while it's plugged in, like messenging or reddit. It also frequently disconnects/reconnects with my computer and my friend's computers as well as the wall socket and iTunes gives the error message: 0xE8000084
I had the battery replaced on Saturday but the problem still happens. I restored it to factory settings and set it up as a new phone, but it still won't hold a charge. I've also tried: switching power chords, switching which USB socket it's plugged into on my computer
I posted somewhere else and someone told me that they thought it was a logic board failure. If it is, what're my options? From googling round it seems like I'm SOL...
Any help would be super appreciated.

Who replaced the battery the first time? If it was anyone other than Apple, your phone is unsupportable. Apple won't touch it either in or out of warranty.

  • My iPhone 4S can no longer hold a charge, had battery replaced once before and is only 2 years old

    I've had my iPhone 4S for two years and I still have one more year in my contract.
    The first month I had my phone I had similar battery issues where the phone was able to hold a charge over 3 hours. I never have wifi or Bluetooth on, I do not even have internet connection for Safari on. I tested charging it up to %100 and not touch it and after 2 hours it dies.
    I would love to get a new iPhone 5c but then I would need to pay off the rest my contract and purchase the new phone and get a new contract. I do not have a warranty for my phone so would taking it to the Apple store and having them replace my battery be worth it? And would I have to pay for them to fix the battery again? Would they give me a replacement phone as well?

  • Macbook battery no longer holding a charge and not charging

    I've already reset the PMU and PRAM and calibrated the battery, 3 times. The battery is now on 5% and won't charge any more. It's less than a year old.
    Will Apple replace this piece of crap battery or do I have to shell out $130 for a new one? And is this a common problem?

    Yep, they should send you a new one for free. Same thing as dalowang, I had a 3 month old MacBook and battery wasn't working. Apple sent me a new one but now it's happening all over again. Apple said it was a problem with my computer. Off to the far away apple store tomorrow. Anyone got any suggestions before I go?

  • My Iphone gets hot and wont hold a charge for more than 8 hrs

    My Iphone 5c gets hot even when i dont have a protective case on it but it is worse when it is charging. The battery will only hold a charge for at most 8hrs, i have taken it into the store and they always say nothing is wrong with it. I find that hard to believe since my old iphone that was 2 years old lasted longer. I have already turned my backlight down and turned off notifications. Any ideas?

    Charging has always been recommended without an iOS device in a case...many of those do not allow heat to dissipate.
    Turn down screen brightness, turn off things you don't need, like Bluetooth if not being used, change the Mail push timing so it is less frequent...all things that use energy should be stretched out to save battery time.

  • I have a lg lucid 2 and it no longer holds a charge

    i have a lg lucid 2 and it no longer holds a charge it is dead within 4 to 5 hours

        Hello kmmcgrn! It's so irritating when your phone can't hold a charge for the entire day! I'd like to do a battery test on your phone. When you run this test, please make sure your device is charged to at least 50%. From your phone, call #2539, and allow the call to remain connected for 10 minutes. Note the battery percentage before & after. The battery should drop no more than 6%. Please let us know, and we can work from there depending on the results of the test.
    Thank you,

  • How do I connect my 2nd generation Ipod to a Firewire 800 port? It no longer holds a charge and it doesn't power up with the newer generation USB cable. The only way I can sync my Itunes library onto this Ipod is when it is powered...

    How do I connect my 2nd generation Ipod to a Firewire 800 port on a new laptop? It no longer holds a charge and it doesn't power up with the newer generation USB cable. The only way I can sync my Itunes library onto this Ipod is when it is powered and connected simultaneously. Pls help.

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When connected to my PC to charge it, the light blinks yellow. I took it in to a local Apple repair shop- the gentleman charged it for me

    Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When I put in on my PC the yellow light flashes. I took it to an Apple repair store on Monday and the gentleman there charged it for me...and it fully charged. On wednesday I turned it on- no green light...
    He said the yellow light should not be blinking when charging...what am I doing wrong???

  • I just purchased a new in factory sealed box ipod 5.5. I removed all from packaging and charged overnight. The battery won't hold a charge. How do I get a new battery under warranty for this NOS item?

    I Just purchased a NOS ipod 5.5 brand new in factory sealed packaging from an apple dealer. I charged the unit overnight but the battery will not hold a charge. I read the Apple warranty and expect Apple to honor the warranty to the original end user purchaser (me). however I do not want to give up this iPod for a newer model because I love the sound from the Wolfson board. The newer iPods sound horrible and give me headaches. Does Apple still provide batteries for the 5.5 30 gb iPod? Or am I out of luck due to obsolescence? Thanks in advance!

    I feel your angst, especially, knowing that Apple has become the most profitable company in the world, by selling us products that breaks down when the warranty run out, and crap service staff, who doesn't know anything about the iPod Classic, except offer to sell us refurbished iPod classic.
    You can get the Battery replaced at 3rd Party store for less.
    BTW, (most contributors might not agree with me) if  you recharged your iPod everyday, it will be dead just 2 months after the warranty expires. My logic, the iPod battery will last for about 400 recharge cycles according to Apple Specs listed below
    Charge Cycles
    A properly maintained iPod battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles
    So if your lifestyle is plugin in to car Audio dock, while driving, and plug in to home stereo while home, then it is 2-3 charge cycles per day.
    But then you cant do anything about it, just switch to another media player.

  • My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour

    My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour, I took it in to an apple retail store at the end of 2010 and they told me it was fine but advised I restore and set up as a new iPhone which I did, it got better for about a month then went back to normal losing battery. I have no hardware coverage left and my specs are: iPhone 3GS 16gb  IOS 4.3.3 white. I have had it since December 2009.

    I'm afraid I don't. I don't know if the phone is still within warranty. I don't know which country you are in. I don't know what third party repair companies charge where you are.
    Hang on - I do know one thing: if your phone is still covered by warranty - it's free!

  • Battery died, wont hold a charge, just died.  Fully charged battery dies in approx 2 hours.  Is it battery gone bad. Or something causing battery to use excessive amount of energy.  Do you lose data if battery goes out?

    Battery died, wont hold a charge.  After fully charging battery, battery loses all power in 2 hours. Is this indicative of a battery gone bad or something else?  Will I lose data if battery completely dies?

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    Yes I have done the reset-didn't work.
    Yeh, the calibration was done so the phone turned off, then plugged back in to charge back to 100%!
    The iphone4s was connected to the charger outlet, the second I unplugged the phone the battery percentage went from 100% to 98%.
    AS we speak my phone is now on 100%, after 10 mins usage and 33 minutes standby. This just doesn't correlate with the decrease in battery life associated with every other number (e.g 99,98,97%) apart from when it is on 100%.

  • My new Iphone's battery does not hold charge for long; do you have the same problem?

    Greetings, I had a new iphone 4S -  bought March 2013, died suddenly September 2013. Iphone replaced by a new one, which seemed to work fine. Suddenly, noticed three days ago that the battery does not hold, even for one day, even with very little use. Charged battery yesterday morning, as it was dead, used phone a few times during the day, still had half batery full at bed time; this morning there was no battery at all - had discharged completely overnight doing nothing. Has anyone had this problem?
    It means that I will have to travel a long way to the nearest store to have it looked at. Had already done this last September to replace a dead phone. One would have expected better quality and reliability from a Company like Apple.

    Sounds like the battery needs replacing.  Bring the phone to Apple for battery diagnostics.
