IPhone 5 stuck on low battery charging screen A.K.A $500 Paper Weight

Well this is the third and final iPhone 5 my family has encountered with this issue, Luckily my mom upgraded to a 5S and avoided this issue even though she was experiencing it. Me and my father are not as lucky. Usually jumping power sources and rebooting works. Finally tonight my phone is stuck on it and nothing I can do will bring it off. My phone is totally *mint* and with an otter box defender case looks perfect. Now I would have had it replaced when the battery went to **** after a well known bug they had. However I was not in the warranty window still. Then when my lock/sleep button stopped working that was just icing on the cake. The screen being stuck now is the nail in the coffin. Now I love apple and have had every Generation iPhone since the original. However past 2 years living no where near an apple store has made it unfair and not worth having. The Genius usually take care of you if your not too far outside your warranty and the issue is a known apple defect or issue. However getting a known defect fixed is almost impossible when your not near an apple store. You are stuck paying out of pocket for shipping and even for "recall" work if it happens to not be a recall issue. Plain and simple most of us can't go a week without a phone so when there's a known issue or manafactures defect you can't get it fixed easily. Now because I missed all the recall fixes and everything I am out over $1200 on two iPhone 5. Now do I spend another $1200 and go through the same **** or do I go with samsung? I am going to share this with many forums and try to spread awareness. The iPhone 5 i have noticed to have the most problems and every single one a friend or family member has had all share the same issues and problems. They all are in cases and taken care of and experiencing the same issues. Anyone else notice the same problems? I know I am not alone; how are samsung galaxy's phone and warranty compared to apple and iPhone?

Just sounds like a bad battery.

Iphone stuck on red battery charging screen ios7

This is the screen i am stuck on i have tried everything and its been plugged in for ages.. please help me..

Hello there, joeylee123.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some good steps for troubleshooting your issue:
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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My iphone 4 is stuck on the battery charge screen.

Hi all,
my iphone 4 ran down to low power, I plugged it in to charge but it didn't. Now it is on the battery screen, and it won't charge, I've had it plugged in for hours, the laptop won't recognise it, I put it into DFU mode and was able to resore it but after it restored it was still stuck on the battery screen. Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Can you describe more about what happens when you put the device into DFU? Like after a force restore, are you getting any errors in iTunes?
Always check and make sure everything is up to date. Your iTunes, OS, Firewall, etc.
That being said, is there Any possibility of trying DFU on a different computer? I think it's safe to say this is a software bug in the device and not in the computer. Try getting a different .ipsw from somewhere on the internet rather than depend on Apple to provide you theirs. Google "iOS 5.0.1 .ipsw" and force an install (in DFU mode) by clicking Restore while holding down Shift (Mac) or Alt (Windows).
Worse case scenario is that you have to contact Apple about all of this.

IPad 2 stuck on low battery screen

Hello my ipad 2 is stuck on low battery screen and i have tried everything and nothing works, it does not reset and doesnt even enter in DFU mode.. everytime i reset it, it gives me the red battery screen again. i charged it with a wall charger and USB charger to my laptop and nothing works. HELP please

Then this might help you, if you hold both home and power button for 10 -15 seconds.
If that doesn't work:
plug your device to you mac or pc
turn off your device
when it's completly black screen. (You have to have your device plugged in)
then hold power button for 3 seconds
without releasing the power button, hold both home and power for 30 seconds.
then you'll be in DFU mode.
restore.
Hope this will work.

Ipad 2 stuck in low battery

My Ipad 2 is stuck in low battery, I was able to get it into DFU mode, restored from itunes but it is still in low battery mode

I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed. Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything. So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin. It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
So I was overjoyed. I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
Then the battery thing happened again about a week later. I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger. Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off. I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of. I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

Try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connecting it to your computer. If iTunes see it, restore the iPod via iTunes
- If no sceen in iTunes, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore it. For recvery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Let, let the battery fully drain and then charger and try again.

Possibly your battery or your charging set-up is faulty. Try different charger and cable. If still problem, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
Good luck

Ok. so I updated to iOS 5. Downloaded it from iTunes and all. But in the middle of installing the iOS, i fell asleep. not knowing my computer was at a low battery charge my computer shut down. I did a DFU already but i'm not sure if it the os is complete.

Restore to factory settings. That will use the latest iOS and then restore from a backup.
Never, never, never attempt an update/upgrade on any portable computer device without plugging it into its AC charger.

Changing the battery charging screen saver

Currently when I plug my phone into the charger, the Clock app appears by default. Is there any way to change this default? Also are there any apps that display the amount of battery charge graphically? I'd prefer to have a battery charging screen saver than a clock screen saver.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
To turn of the clock when charging open the clock>menu key>options>scroll to when charging>do nothing>save>exit.
I know of an app "Battery-info" by Toysoft listed as .$.099 in AppWorld.
I'm not endorsing it as I haven't used it, and I'm sure there are other apps as well.
