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

  • 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

  • 3G iPhone will only charge by USB connection.

    Hi All
    First post so don't give me a hard time.
    Kinda advanced user and MD of Technology company. We install iPorts in peoples homes (www.iportmusic.com).
    Anyway, all iPod's, iPod Touch's, old iPhones charge from these but the new 3G does not. This is also the case with other docks and car charging kits. is it just my phone or has anyone else come across the same problem.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    all the best
    Scott

    Apple has been gradually removing Firewire support for iPods for some time and now with the iPhone. Originally iPods synced and charged via Firewire only. Apple switched to USB for syncing but continued to support charging via Firewire with iPods and the same applied to the first generation iPhone. Apple removed support for charging via Firewire with the iPhone 3G and the same will apply to future iPod models. The firewire pins were removed from the dock connector port.
    You need to change your connection or iPorts to support charging via USB if you want it to be compatible with the iPhone 3G and with future iPhone and iPod models.

  • IPhone will only charge on my car charger and not mains

    Hello,
    My iPhone 5 does not charge on its mains charger. I insert the charger into the iPhone and nothing happens. I have also tried charging on my friends chargers and it still does not charge even though the charger works for their iPhones.  However It charges instantly on my car chargers. I have 2 car chargers and it works on both. The car chargers are not cable to usb chargers but Kensington car chargers.
    Any solutions?
    Many thanks,

    Bump.

  • Why will my iPhone 4 only charge on the computer

    My iphone 4 will only charge on the computer and not the wall charger my ipod will not also not charge on the wall charger,

    Try different Wall Charger to see if it is the problem. Try different USB cable to see if it is the problem. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, the Wall Charger and USB Cable are covered too.

  • My ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge.

    my ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge on any of my sinc cords or my outlet charger. And I have checked that nothing is in the plug port blocking the electrodes. What do I do now?

    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

  • My iphone will not charge

    My iphone will not charge and it is not the charger. I tried plugging it into my computer and that will not work either. I spent 2 1/2 hours at the apple store tonight!! They replaced my battery and said that would fix it and I got home and plugged it in and it wouldn't charge. I restored it to factory settings and that didn't work. I only have like 10% battery left and I use this phone for work a lot. I need my phone to charge!! Please HELP!!!

    The best way is to bring to an Apple retail store and have them look at it. Bring the phone and charging cable with you.
    Or it could be just an old dead battery and Apple store can replace that.
    However if you can get a hold of another charging cable (complete) you can try that first.
    Good Luck

  • Ipod touch will only charge in docking station after 3.0 upgrade

    Prior to my recent (this week) upgrade to 3.0, my ipod touch could charge off of my desktop computer, my laptop, and my Apple USB wall charger adapter. That adapter is not the current version, but the prior model. Since I've done the upgrade, the ipod touch no longer recognizes it's attached to the adapter (and the wall outlet) or to the USB cable and computer. I am using the Apple supplied USB cable, so it is not a matter of using non apple equipment or Firewire. This week, it will only charge using a lamp that has a docking station. I've had the ipod touch about 4 months, and didn't have this issue until the 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on how to fix it?

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - 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.

  • 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.

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.
