Iphone 4S never fully charges after OS upgrade

My iPhone 4S charged quickly and to 100% with my Iphone wall charger and in my car with my A&T cigarette lighter version. Since the OS upgrade, it doesn't ever fully charge, even after 10 hours, and loses battery life very quickly.

The headset has to be put into "discovery mode" before the iPhone can see it.

How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

For those who seem unfamiliar with what is being asked:
On iOS 6 and older, just because the phone reached 100%, didn't mean it was Fully Charged. The way you could tell was the lightning bolt symbol that indicated the device was charging would change to an outlet plug when the device was not only 100%, but also stopped accepting further charge. This symbol switch would occur anywhere from 5-15 minutes after the device already was displaying 100%.
Now, on iOS 7, while it still reaches 100% with that same lightning bolt charge symbol, during the 100% point, it never switches to the plug symbol to indicate the charge period is totally finished.
Can anyone confirm if there is a way to see this charge completion in iOS 7 since it appears that there is no longer a symbol for it? Is there any indication that Apple may have changed the charging display so that now it only displays 100% when it would have previously displayed that plug symbol?

I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4. I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones. When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa. How can I fix this?

"Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage. You will need to create a separate id for you wife. OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

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? ......

My iPhone 5 wont work properly after i upgraded to ios8 all i can see on the screen is apple logo that made it looks like its starting but it wont start up since yesterday please I need help.

My wifes has started to do the same, the iphone 3Gs was mine, I updated it to ios 5.0.1 while still using it and it was fine. I did a backup restore of her old 3G phone and again it was find for awhile.
We noticed she doesnt have any data part of her package so we have switched off the data, since then we have this issue.
I had to install a new docking part of the phone as her mic was faulty, I did the sim out, switch on 3G and data and then sim back in. Switched the phone off and then back on. all good.
I stripped the phone down adn replaced the part. again all good. That I night my wife said Shall she turn the phone off in which I replied it should be fine. When she turned the phone on in the morning, the reboot problem was back.
I'm wondering if the problem is to do with the Data on and off. I've also noticed that when the phone is up beofre it reboots, you can pop out the sim and the signal stays the same.
When it does have a problem, she now does a quick reset from the phone which takes about 5 minutes and shes back up and running. its big pain!
Think I will get her on a data package and then try again

That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

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.

Iphone 4s won't charge after updated to ios 6.1.3

iphone 4s won't charge after updated to ios 6.1.3
Different adapters and usbs have been tried, and now power has been drained.
Apple support says there is nothing they can do about it, and they surggested me to pay 199 for a new iphone.
Is there anybody having the same problem?

I'm having the same issue with iphone 4.
Seems to work ok after i connect it to itunes but then the next day i have to do it again.

HT1267 my iphone say imei iccid unknown after i upgraded please help

my iphone says imei iccid unknown after i upgraded please help

That indicates a critical failure. It can not be fixed. The phone will need to be replaced.
Often, this is the result of attempting to update a jailbroken phone.

HTF do i get my iPhone to connect to network after iOS7 upgrade? (Upgrade--really?)

HTF do i get my iPhone to connect to network after iOS7 upgrade? Upgrade? Really? I'm just really upset that I have to continually make concessions to someone else and my product does NOT work the way it should, and has done in the past!!!!

Depends on your browser and it may appear in your downloads folder to run. If you are using IE, it will appear on the bottom of the screen, Google Chrome, bottom of the screen, Firefox, top of the screen with an big arrow

Iphone 5 wont charge after software upgrade to 7.1.2

I upgraded my Iphone and my Ipad to the new software, they were both frozen for hours at 50% of the download had to do a master reset, after the update my Iphone nor my Ipad charge. I connect them and I get the " message device cannot support the cable". Basically I don't know what to do did apple mess up with the update ? how are they gooing to fix this problem ? my phone wont charge not even with the authentic charger. What next ?

Your very welcome. I'll ask the hosts to remove your number.
Really do look into earphone port. that may really be the issue. Also check that you have bluetooth and Airplay off. It may be you are streaming to another device with the volume low.
As for the drama, I don't see the issue you describe as being an epidemic so saying it's a serious problem for users is baseless. In fact search the forum and you will find al long history of the same issue, most of which were solved with the solutions I gave you.
This may not apply to you since you say you've done some things already, but it's always frustrating around the time of an iOS upgrade when those coming here are more concerned about threatening the purchase of another device than actually looking for help. Everyone here does support on their own time so no one cares much what purchase decision you make. The larger problem is that it more difficult to support users when they come in with an attitude before even trying the most basic of troubleshooting steps because it makes them less open to trying anything that may help.
As for Apple being unresponsive. On what do you base that? Have you called Apple? Did they deny you support?

My iPhone 4 battery will not fully charge after latest update. What gives?

I updated to the latest software and now my iPhone will not charge.

After a full 8 hour charge it only shows about 40% charge. This phone worked without incident before the last two firmware updates. I use the same wall charger and Apple cord for my iPad and wife's phone (she has not updated her phone to iOs 6.0.1) and they all work great. There must be something in the new update that kills battery life. By the way, I replaced my battery less than a month ago.

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.
