Iphone 5 not properly charging

In the last few days I've come across this, and I'm not the only one either, my iPhone 5 doesn't charge properly.
Every time I plug the charger in, it shows that it's charging and when I come back to it, it's not fully charged, but it shows it is.
Other times too I plug the charger in and it doesn't charge but says it's full. I.E this morning I put it on charge with 15% and showed the icon on the battery that said it was full.
Can anyone help me before I take a trip to the Genius Bar again?

Iphone will not fulling charge

Over the past two weeks, I have noticed significant battery challenges; among the worst, the phone will not completely charge. I plug it in to a wall charger at night (6-7 hours) and it only charges to 30 or 40% of the battery. I have turned off location services in the privacy settings. I close out the applications used at least 5 times daily, so I am trying to conserve battery power.
I cannot overcome the phone not properly charging. I have used THREE different wall chargers (two different car chargers) and THREE different cords. Nothing works. My wife's iphone (also a 4S) charges just fine.
Help, please.

Given what you've tried/done, sounds like your battery is ready to take a hike. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

Iphone 4s not actually charging while it is plugged in

IPhone 5 not fully charging

Hi,
iPhone 5 - recently noticed when plugged in overnight, it was not fully charging (maybe charging to 75-80% when I checked in morning). Unplug and plug lightning connector back into phone, and leave it alone. It will eventually charge all the way. Anyone else seen this?

Should also mention - let battery completely run down when I noticed this issue and then plugged it in to charge. Still same behavior.

Iphone 4s not taking charge

Left my iPhone 4s on the charger over night as usual. This morning...10% battery warning. Used a different charger, not working. Plugged into my iMac, iTunes not "seeing" it, nor is it being acknowledged on the desk top.
Latest versions of all iOS, and Mac software are installed.
Now what?

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since it sounds like there is a hardware problem.

HT1476 My battery shows 100% than 5 min later it says 30% why does my iPhone 5 not stay charged for a long time

My iPhone 5 will not stay charged it says it's 100% charged then 5 min later it says I have 30% battery life please help

Off-brand cables and chargers are often a source of problems with iOS devices...always use genuine Apple cables and chargers as they meet the specs for the device.
The best solution at this point would be to take the iPone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have all tested to see if there are faults in the components.

Iphone 4 not can charger

need help my iphone 4 not can charger

Hi there beee19,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

My iphone will not completley charge

My phone will not completely charge at home over night nor in the jeep while on charge? what do I do?

Try recalibrating the battery meter... fully discharge (until it shuts off) and then fully recharge (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter. You may need to do this a few times.

IPhone 5c not recognizing charger/charging?

I've had my 5c for about 3 weeks, and its seems like its not charging properly, at least when connected to an outlet. It runs out of battery (frequently I might add), and shows the "charge me" icon of empty battery and charger plug. When I plug it in the empty battery picture stays for a bit, and then the screen goes black. Touch the lock button, and the picture returns. I've had it on the wall outlet for about 4 hrs this evening and I couldn't even get it to turn on. When I take it off the charger, it tells me that is out of batteries again. However, when I plugged it into the computer, it immediately turned on and said 99% battery.
(Note: Everything in my house is apple, but this is my first iPhone) Is this an actual problem or is it user error?

I thought about that, I tried multiple cables and the problem occured on them all. It seems to be hit and miss when it recognizes the charger being connected. If it is the cable that is at issue then it is a problem that Apple is responsible for, all the cables are Apple Branded ones and at $30 a cable it is getting expensive. A great money making machine for Apple. Never had any problems with the old 30 pin cables on the iPhone 4 and 4S and those cables are still working.
Incidentally the issue still occurs with a brand new cable I bought though it seems to be more hit and less miss with that one and the problem is also occuring if I use a 30 pin dock with the adapter attached to that.
I'm tired of spending on Apple Cables and it makes buying an Android device more appetizing every time I have to chuck away another $30 + Sales Tax. In fact the cable that came with the iPhone came apart in the first 14 days of owning so I have been a regular buyer of Apple Lightning cables since I bought the phone.

IPhone 4S not recognized/charging after iOS 6.0.1 update

Hi,
I've upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.0.1 when the updates became available on my handset and everything seems to work fine until I plugged it into my iMac for some late-night development with XCode. It wasn't recognized/charging at all. At first, I thought the connector cable was faulty, but using the provided Apple charger and the same cable, charging was working....
This morning, when arriving at work, I upgraded an iPhone 4 (the previous generation) to iOS 6.0.1 and plugged it into my work iMac: Same issue.
It seems that upgrading the iOS version to 6.0.1 disable synching/charging on my iMac.
Verified on:
- iPhone 4 + iMac 27in Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
- iPhone 4S + iMac 27in Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
I have no iPhone 5 available yet, so I cannot verify it, but it seems that something is amiss.
Beware of iOS 6.0.1!

Let's do a little recap:
- Do not detect in iTunes/XCode on my iMac Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (Both 4 and 4S)
- Do not charge when plugged-in on my iMac Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (Both 4 and 4S)
- Soft Reset from the phone does not work (Only tried on iPhone 4)
- Hard-Reset from the phone does not work (Only tried on iPhone 4)
- DFU Mode will not trigger the iTunes. (Only tried on iPhone 4)
Perhaps it is not widespread, but it is annoying. Especially when the iPhone 4 is my work phone and I need it to deploy/test my App before submitting to the App Store!

IPhone will not sync/charge

Starting 2 days ago, my iPhone will seldom show up in iTunes, or even charge, and occasionally when I sync it a dialog box appears and states that my iPhone is disconnected. I then restarted my iMac, still not working. I checked my usb cables and they were all connected(iphone connected directly to iMac, no hub). I went into iSync and cleared the sync history and still nothing. So then I decided to see if it was my iPhone or my iMac, I connected my wife's iPhone and my iPod and they both connected right away and synced fine. As I stated, sometimes the iPhone will connect right away, and then later it may not connect at all, and if it does, it may take a minute or so. Also, I connected the iPhone to another charger in the house that is not connected to the iMac and the iPhone started charging immediately. Any help would be appreciated. FYI...I have not did a restore as of yet on the iPhone and would like to avoid this if possible. Thanks

I'm afraid a restore is the next step to troubleshoot it. If that does not work, it may be an intermittent hardware issue. If that's the case, Apple will most likely replace the phone for you.

IPhone 6 not taking charge

I have iPhone 6 - 8.1.2-- when I plug it in for charging nothing happens--
I have tried computer- i have tried wall charger -
I have tried using an eraser on the pins of the chord to clean them-
any help will be gratefully appreciated

Well hello there apiselli,
If your phone is still not charging from either the computer USB port, or the wall charger that came with it, I would recommend the rest of the troubleshooting steps from the following article named:
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
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.
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 your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Iphone 5 not recognizing charger or USB to computer since 6.1.2

I did the update to iOS 6.1.2, the phone was charging at the time. As soon as it installed the update my iPhone 5 stopped charging and will not recognize any chargers, won't communicate with any PC's.
I tried clearing and reseting the iPhone, that has not fixed the issue!
Right now I am down to 30% charge and by tomorrow I will have no phone service because the battery is quickly going flat.   Wi-Fi access is at a snails pace. I've never had it restore settings and that portion to be estimated now at 26 minutes and rising. I have extremely fast internet and it's only ever taken a very short time.
I cannot be the only one with this problem, surely?

I thought about that, I tried multiple cables and the problem occured on them all. It seems to be hit and miss when it recognizes the charger being connected.   If it is the cable that is at issue then it is a problem that Apple is responsible for, all the cables are Apple Branded ones and at $30 a cable it is getting expensive.

My iPhone will NOT fully charge?!?!?!?!

the other day, my phone had the plug symbol for that battery showing that it was fully charged and running on the plug, when i unpluged it, it was fine. that night it was about 1/4 battery(like normal) and i plugged it back in, the next morning i looked at it and it was still charging, usually it is fully charge running on AC. and for 3 days now, i have not been able to get a full charge.
is this happening to anyone else, if so, how do i fix it.
iPhone Other OS two weeks old

th scot, You may want to make sure that both bluetooth and wifi are OFF when you're charging. See if that makes a difference.
Otherwise try to shut the iPhone off, then wait a few minutes, then power up.
or try to RESET the iPhone by holding down the Sleep/wake button and the Home button for like 8-10 seconds.
or....
try to RESTORE the iPhone via iTunes RESTORE software.
One of these is bound to work
