IPhone 5: Screen shows its charging, but it isn't. Its been connected for the last few hours and hasn't turned on?

So this happened suddenly out of the blue last night, I've had the iPhone for a while now and have never had any issues with it till now.
Am attaching a picture to show you what screen I get.
Its been like this for the past 5-6 hours. It just doesn't charge, but it thinks it is charging.
Also before the battery fully ran out, when I had plugged it in, it showed the charging symbol next to the battery symbol, but again it wasn't charging at that time.
Not sure what to do as I'm currently out of the country (UK) and there isn't any Apple stores where Im right now. I wont be back to the UK for another 2-3 weeks.

Tried the reset, but nothing happens, the screen shuts for a bit and then starts back to the screen in the first post.
Had the lint problem a few months back, so that was the first thing I checked when I was having this problem. So not that either.
Tried two different cables, my friend also has an iPhone 5, and I used their cable, which works fine for their phone, but doesn't work for mine.
I could take it to one of the mobile phone fixing guys here, but I don't want my Apple Warranty to go out if they open it up.

HT1430 my phone is blank,and has just been vibarating for the last two hours, it wont turn off on or respond to being connected to my lap top, my lap top wont even recognise the usb, which is new, its an iphone 4s

my phone is blank, its an iphone 4, its been just vibrating for the last two hours non stop, its unresponsive to turning on or off, or even being connected to my lap top. my lap top doesnt recognise the usb...very confused.

Try a hard reset. Hold the power and the home button down at the same time untill you see the apple logo appear. then let go of the buttons

Webpages load slowly in Firefox (about 5 minutes or longer for most pages) but load instantly in Internet Explorer. This has been happening for the last few upgrades, but years ago never used to be a problem. What could it be?

I don't think it's every webpage, but most of them, and all pages open instantly in Internet Explorer but Firefox takes minutes to open a page and just sits there with a white screen while it's loading.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

I got a new screen on my phone yesterday then half an hour later my phone turned now it has been off for the last 12 hours can someone help me?

i got a new screen on my iphone 4 it had 35% battery left i can hear people ring but i cant do anything with it it happeed yesterday ive tried the on and off and snooze but still wont work any ideas anyone please?

Hi,
Yes i understand this but most electronics that fail, will fail during the very early stages of there life. It sounds like either the screen or one of it's associated components has failed again.
Of the many screens i have changed i have had three dead out of the box and two failed within the first week of operation.
They make them in huge numbers and work on a known failure rate for all screen panels large and small.
Cheers!

TS3992 I have a message that says "This iPAD hasnt been backed up in 2 weeks.Backups happen when this iPAD is plugged,locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". Its been plugged in and connected for the past 12 hours and every time I hit the ok button nothing hap

The iPAD has been plugged in,connected to wi-fi and locked for the past 12 hours now,how can I get into my iPAD everytime I hit the OK button it turns off? Any ideas on how to get past that?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Hi gotwaxed,
If your iPhone is not charging while plugged into the wall adapter, then I'd like you to please follow the information outlined below to help resolve the issue.
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.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
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.
Get more help
If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a good one,
Alex H.

I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.

Downloaded the iOS 7 and my phone has been showing the iTunes icon and charger for the last 7 hours. What to do?, Downloaded the iOS 7 and my phone has been showing the iTunes icon and charger for the last 7 hours. What to do?

Downloaded late set iOS 7 update and it's been just showing the iTunes icon and charger indicator with arrow for the last 7 hours, is this normal? How long before phone reboots

That means something went wrong with the update and the phone is in recovery mode.
Connect it to your computer and use iTunes to restore it.

I have a 16GB 3GS phone. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it.

I have a 16GB 3GS phone since about20 months now. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it. I always used standard headphones and charging cable. Now when i recall, it started at one of the sync sessions with my itunes. I have turned my phone off and aon again and again but the message keeps coming every one or two minutes.I have also started loosing voicce on different applications like youtube etc. Also the ringer volume up and down key does not show me the small boxes increasing or decreasing on screen. The phone is playing crazy. Can someone help please
Thanks
Zia

It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
Please help
