IPhone 6 rapid charging feature?
Hi,
In an online article I found this:
"The iPhone 6 has a similar rapid charging feature, according to reports. Like the Note 4, that feature only works when you use compatible cords. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't ship with a compatible cord. If you want rapid charging you need to purchase a new cord, use the one that came with an iPad or plug your cord directly into a newer Mac that supports the feature."
It was from this article:
http://www.cio.com/article/2842882/android-smartphone/6-things-galaxy-note-4-doe s-that-iphone-6-cant.html
Does the cord make a difference?
Using the AC charger for an ipad seems to charge our iphones faster than the iphone charger does (10 watts vs 5 watts, if I'm not mistaken), but is there a cord that helps speed up the process?
Thanks
An iPhone doesn't charge any faster with an iPad adapter. The phone's built in charging circuit determines the charging rate, not the adapter or the cord. It WILL charge faster with an adapter than it will using most computers because computers USB ports typically can supply only 0.5 amps, while the Apple adapter can supply 1 amp. An exception is late model Macs, which can supply 1 amp at the USB ports. The rest of that article is pure hokum.

After installing the latest version of IOS my iPhone 4s rapidly runs out of power, it also suddently (fully charged) shuts down and restarts without me asking for it. I tried to reinstall the latest version of IOS but it doesnt help. Any advice?
Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use
Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use?
I had the same problem with my iPhone 5 AFTER I had upgraded to IOS.
Did a good deal of searching on this site and others and found that the main advice being given was to turn off all apps that are running in the background (From the home screen double press the home button and a visual list of all apps running in the background will appear. To turn them off simply swipe your finger upwards on each).
Found that this definitely solved my problem and now make sure I do this every time I use the phone.
Hope this helps

Droid RAZR maxx HD XT926 rapid charge
So on the last firmware update there was a feature added that lets the phone tapid charge when the power is off. But I'm not understanding how that works cuz regaurdless of if my phone is plugged into my computer;s usb port or plugged into a wall outlet when I turn it off it turns right back on, it wont stay off. So how am I suppose to use the rapid charge if the phone wont stay off. And like I said it doesn't matter if its plugged into a wall charger or usb port the phone turns right back on. I've tried turning it off then plugging it in as soon as I plug it in it turns on, and I've also plugged it in turned on and then shut it off but it still turns its self right back on. So how am I suppose to use rapid charge if the phone wont stay off?
As Rc indicated some USB's can have issues I have't seen any troubles in the one's that I currently own but I have more than one that I can use Plus I have the old Traditional OEM charger's that Motorola currently sell's but's not included in the box with the phone) The one you see below is one that I have and is usually found with an accessory..
If the phone is not passed the 14 day return, box it up with it's papers and return it to the store and have a Rep check it out with another charger if it works ok and you want to keep it Go a head) But if you'd rather exchange for another one see if the Rep will let you do it. Good Luck on your Decision.. b33 -
Charging iPhone with iPod charger
I have an AC adapter/charger that came with my iPod mini a couple years ago. Can I use this to charge the iPhone? It charges my iPod mini, nano, and 5G ipod without any trouble. Conversely, can I use the charger that came with the iphone to charge other iPods?
Any help is appreciated.Although they are 30 pin connectors, they are not using the same pins for the same features. I read that the iphone will work on a Bose Sounddock so I plugged it into an older ipod 30 pin dock hooked up to speakers through the line out and it would not play the music through my speakers. If I used the iPhone dock it worked just fine. My conclusion is that at some point (When Video iPods came out I think) Apple switched the functions of some of the pins in the 30 pin connector. I don't know why it charges slow, but I do know that since they are 30 pin connectors we should not assume they will work the same for an ipod and iphone.

My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly. It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging. I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone. My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device. Neither does the computer. The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs. My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port. I'm out of warranty.
Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked. -
My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/
Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off. It will not charge while the phone is on. Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything. I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

About 4 days ago I went to plug my iPhone in to charge and it refused to charge. I tried many methods to get it working such as trying different mains sockets and using my MacBook Pro but nothing worked. I am using a genuine Apple lightning charger but tried another genuine charger and it still didn't work. The phone is out of warranty so I took it apart and replaced the battery and lightning port connector myself using genuine parts. The audio jack, microphone and loud speaker all work (they are connected to the lightning port) but it just doesn't seem to charge nor recognise that the charger is connected. However, when I put the phone in DFU or recovery mode, it recognises the charger and pops up on iTunes but still does not charge the phone. There seems to be a problem with the phone recognising the charger in it's normal mode and just not charging the phone in any state. This is a really confusing and annoying problem. Can anyone help me? I would prefer it if you didn't refer me to the Apple Store to get it fixed.
Hi,
This sounds like an internal battery issue. You may want to try replacing that if you can.
(Just to say, Apple probably won't replace your iPhone as you changed parts).
Hope this helps! -
Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?
I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
PLEASE HELP>Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

My iPhone is not charging in my 2009 Infinity
My iPhone is not charging when connected to my 2009 Infinity. I'm getting a " charging is not supported" message on the screen. Funny thing is that my older iPod would sync and charge when connected. Anyone know why or how I can fix this?
ThanksTo rule out a software problem, set it up as new device:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
But I think that this is a hardware issue. If this started after the battery has been replaced, bring it back to the Service Provider and let them check the phone, the replacement of a battery is also covered by a repair warranty. -
I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.
Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock. -
Most of my concern is in the subject line. I probably should've saved some content to include here. Allow me to elaborate:
While traveling with the tiny brick, I got a message on my 3GS phone that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone”; however, the charger was working fine with another phone and with an iPad.
I tested alternatives by removing and re-inserting the cable (obviously, as I tested other devices), changing wall receptacles, shutting the phone off (all the way), all to no avail.
When I got home, I plugged a different cable--one that was connected to my iMac rather than the brick--into the my 3GS; it still didn't charge.
So, I'm hypothesizing that perhaps some debris (from a pocket?) got into the charging receptacle of the 3GS and is disrupting the connection. Perhaps there are other hypotheses.
I am reluctant to do a reset, as (a) the problem doesn't appear to be a software issue (the phone and software are all working, though the charge is declining) and (b) I don't want to lose the contents before I can sync it (now that I'm home, again).
I'd welcome suggestions. Meanwhile, I suppose I shall e-mail photos and notes from the phone to myself before I lose the remaining charge.Try to clean the 30-pin receiver slot either by blowing air into it or using a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, based on what you've already said, I'd say the problem is most likely hardware, and would need to be replaced or repaired. I hope your iPhone is still under the 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, or if applicaable extended warranty. You can check by calling AppleCare National iPhone Technical Support at 1 (800) 694-7466.
