IPHONE 4S WILL ONLY CHARGE ON COMPUTER

Suddenly last week my iphone 4S would not charge on my car charger or any wall charger.  Well..actually if you plugged it in, the charging icon would not come on but it would charge to about 20% if you left it plugged in all night.  This was on several different chargers.  My other iphones charged on the same chargers just fine.  I discovered by accident that it charges normally when plugged into the computer. I have tried with different charger cords and it is the same with all of them.  My other phones all work fine so it is not the chargers.  I have seen other posts that mention something about an update.  Any help would be appreciated.

My problem is very similar.  My 4s will charge on my computer but not on my wall charger or car charger.  I have tried different charges and cables and the phone does not light up and say it is charging unless I plug it into my computer. 
My iPad will still charge from my wall units.  I feel sorry for people having this problem, because others think it is the cord or charger.   Any help would be appreciated.  Hope someone figures it out.

  • Iphone 4 will only charge from computer and wall socket?

    Im having trouble with my iphone 4 not charging/syncing with anything other than my computer by usb or the wall socket charger.  It used to sync with no problems before using my cars usb and on my hifi dock (onkyo), but no more!  Im sure this is since the last update.  Ive tried reseting and restore, but doesnt seem to make a difference.  Can anyone help?  Its really starting to annoy me now!

    This is really upsetting me as I have spent a fortune on Apple products over the years and the accessories that are "made for ipod and iphone" over the years and now those are useless with the device I use the most.  If this doesnt get sorted, I'll be going to another brand. 
    That is just illogical and unintelligent.  Stop whining.  And while you're at it... leave.  No one here cares about which product you go with.

    An update for what?  Your logic processor?  Not gonna happen.  Only YOU can update that.
    Clean the dock connector on the device, it is likely dirty or full of lint.

  • TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

    My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

    I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1.  I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

  • IPhone 5 will only charge once dead

    Hey everyone, I've got an issue that I can't seem to find any forum posts about anywhere.
    My iPhone 5 will only charge once it is completely dead. If it is not, I get a message displaying "This accessory is not supported by this device," (or something along those lines), or nothing happens at all. Once it is completely dead, I can charge it, but if I take the charger out before it's fully charged it won't begin to charge again until it's dead. Even if I turn the phone off and charge it, it does not charge while off unless dead.
    What I've already tried:
    - Different chargers (5 of them, 3 different charger blocks, and charging from my laptop, both Apple and third party)
    - Resetting all settings to factory default
    - Going to the Apple Store. They would not touch my phone because I replaced my own screen with a non-Apple piece
    Any ideas?? Please help.
    NOTE: I cannot update to the newest iOS as I cannot connect to iTunes until this problem is fixed.

    If changing out the charging unit and the cable doesn't work, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • 4gen iTouch will only charge on computer

    I have a 4th generation iTouch with 5.1 software, and it will only charged when hooked up to my Window 7 laptop.  It will not charge with any usb charger, and I have tried several, including, the chargers from my  iPod 2, and my iPhone 4s, and neither of those chargers will charge the iTouch.  It will also not charge with any car charger.  When I first got the iTouch it would charge with the usb/car charger.  Any suggestion how I can correct this?  I would like other options than charging with my laptop.
    Thanks

    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • My iPhone 4s Will only charge when power is off!!

    Hi, I haven't come across with anyone with this weird problem, My iPhone 4s Cant charge whilst phone is on, and whilst its on I cant connect to computer as it wont read like the port on the phone is disabled. once the iPhone dies, that's when the phone will charge. why is this? I have got the battery changed to a new one but no luck, I try to backup via iClod as I cant connect to my computer but the battery don't last to save 32gb of data. Has anyone come across this issue? if so did you manage to rectify it? if so please can you help me with this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gabriel

    Sorry - not understanding completely
    What do mean by when battery dies?
    Is that a specific percentage that it drains to or totally off? (device shuts off)
    Open an online chat with Apple and they can run a remote diagnostic on your battery

  • My iPhone 5C will only charge when the phone is switched off I've tried multiple leads and still it will only charge when it's switched off, somebody has told me it's the battery? But I don't know what to do

    yesterday my charger was working fine, all day long I got home and go to plug it in and it's not working, I let my phone die and it starts working like the battery symbol shows up but once the phone is on it stops working. I've tried a couple of leads but I know they aren't proper apple and it still doesn't work, my friend said I've probably fried the battery but I'm not sure, but I know since I got the phone the battery hasn't been all that good, it charges quickly but then also dies quickly, I really don't know what to do and I really need some help, should I get a new lead or replace my phone because I have insurance?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If nothiing above helped, restore the iPhone to factory settings >  Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • My Iphone will only charge when it is off???

    I just got my iphone 4 about around june of this year and ever since two or three days ago I plugged my phone in because it was dead and it would not charge but when i got it home to charge it it charged all the way and not today its doing the same thing it will only charge when it is off and then as soon as the cord powers it back on it will stop charging and say 10 pecent batt left... I bought a new cord and it still does not charge my phone idk what to do this is really annoying i also tried my charger in another iphone 4 and it charged that phone so its not the cable it has to be the phone but the phone is brand new and never has been damaged i am going to verizon to hopefully get a new phone but in the mean time looking for any suggestions or tips or maybe somene is having the same problem too

    Also when i have the charger plugged in after the phone dies it will show the charging batt symbol but as soon as it powers back on it says 10% battery life again and then when i power it off WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED the phone will not show the charging battery symbol again whihc means i have to take the charger out and put it back on and it dose it all over again charges with off but as soon as it powers on automatically it stops charging

  • IPod classic will only charge from my computer

    I have an iPod Classic 80gb and it won't charge from my wall charger or my car charger it will only charge from my iMac and MacBook Pro what can I do to fix this.

    If it charges from your computer, then there is nothing wrong with your iPod charging. The problem then goes to your charger.
    just in case, try a 12w charger or use a different charger.

    my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.

  • My iphone 4s will not charge it only charges when it is completely dead what do I do?

    My iphone 4s will not charge it only charges when it is completley dead..somtimes what do I do?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
