Iphone 4s won't charge until it runs out of battery

Hello!
I've had my iPhone 4S for a month now, and it suddenly will not charge until it completely dies/runs out of battery.
Then, it only charges enough for it to turn on automatically and stops charging.
Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thank you for any advice

Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B - Reset phone, Restore in iTunes using a backup, Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure and you need to take the phone to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

the only other thing i can think of is the put the ipod into recovery mode

My iPhones turn back to 6.0 after running out of battery

It was on 6.0.1 from the first day of 6.0.1
I was restarting and reseting iphone this period and nothing changed. All normal.
Tonight it's running out of battery and when i plug it in and turn on it was on 6.0 and ask for update.
I notice that is back on 6.0 after syncing with iTunes 11 but i don't think it's related.
Any idea?

I just updated to iTunes 11, I'm going to sync right now and see what happens, will report back.
holy crap the interface is totally different.
Just finish syncing didn't change my IOS.

My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
Thanks

Not Charge

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

IPhone 4 won't charge despite restore, hard reset, and battery change

I have an iPhone 4 (factory unlocked, iOS 5.1.1) that is no longer under warranty. It has developed an intermittent charging issue. Every few days it stops charging the battery. It will show the charging screen but the battery continues to drain. Eventually after it dies completely, if I leave it plugged in all night usually it will charge fully by morning. Then it will charge fine for a few days. I've tried charging it with multiple cables, chargers, through USB on my Mac and wall charger. I've tried hard resetting it (holding both buttons down for 10+ seconds). I've restored the phone through iTunes. I've even changed the battery. All to no avail. The problem is getting worse and happening more frequently now.
Anyone have any experience (and success) in fixing this problem with a method other than all the common ones I've already tried? One small complication is that I live in Indonesia and can't just head down to the Apple store for help.

looks like going to the apple store is the only option left coz it maybe an issue with the handset and they can check that for you

If the Home button is broken, best thing to do is take it in for repair, or get an estimate. Make a Genius appointment.

Getting photo's off an iPhone that won't charge?

The other day I woke up to find my iPhone 4s, which is just over a year old, hadn't charged overnight. I've tried everything and I won't charge and has run out of battery so pretty useless. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get photos and things off it, because i'd be a bit annoyed if I lost it all!
Cheers

Hello Gus Graham,
It sounds like your phone is not charging when connected to the USB cable that came with the phone. I recommend the steps in the following article named:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Iphone 4 will not charge until battery totally dead

My iphone 4 will not charge until the batter is run fullly down. After the phone powers itself down automatically due to lack of charge. Then and only then the phone will take a charge. Has anyone else had this happen or know how to fix this?

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.

Iphone 5 won't charge, just blinks charge screen

iphone 5 won't charge, just blinks charge screen?

Hey there 100ire,
It sounds like your iPhone is not turning on at all and just blinks an orange screen at you rather than booting. I would use these steps from the following article specifically, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

IPhone 5 won't charge

iPhone 5 won't charge. Turned on and off, any other ideas?

Try different charger, try different cable, try different USB port on the computer. Do a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the device restarts, try again.
If none of that works, then contact Apple Care, the local Apple Store, or your Authorized Apple Service Center, depending on your location to get the hardware checked.

My iphone 5 won't charge :(

My iphone 5 won't charge with the cable I bought, I don't know if its because maybe it isn't an apple product? Can somone please help me! thank you

If you did buy a 3rd party product, that could be a reason. Can you check with an original Apple USB cable?
To ensure the best possible experience, Apple has created special compatibility requirements for accessory manufacturers. Products that are engineered and certified to be compatible have a "Made for" label on their package. To ensure compatibility when purchasing third-party accessories for use with your device, look for accessories that are authorized to use the "Made for" label associated with your device (see below).

My Iphone 5 won't charge while turned on.

My iphone 5 won't charge at all while turned on. I have to turn off my phone in order to charge it. I can't really use my phone now because of the iPhone 5 battery life. I need help!

You are going to have t take that to the apple store . Make a Genius Bar appointment and they will help you. Most likely they will give you a new phone. Hope this helps
