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.

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 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.

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

IPhone will not indicate charging status until powered off or reset

When I plug my iPhone 4S into either a wall charger (via USB connector) or an iHome music dock, the battery indicator does not update to reflect that the phone is plugged in and that the battery is being charged. However, if I power off the phone or perform a reset (simultaneously holding down the power and home buttons) and restart the iPhone, the battery indicator updates to show that the phone is plugged in and charging is occurring.
Is there a fix, or is replacement in order?
I did not notice this being an issue until I plugged the phone into the iHome dock for the first time a few days ago and tried to charge the phone via the wall charger later that day.

I like your answer, and normally I never power my phone off. But it seems like I was having battery issues yesterday (percentage dropping pretty quickly for not even using phone or running apps or data). So I wanted to power the phone off. It's also supposed to charge the battery faster when the phone is powered off. That's the only reason.
Still hoping for more answers or suggestions before I have to place a call to Apple.

My battery will not stay charged since the last software update

My iphone will not stay charge very long ever since the last software update

Contact apple support so they can run a diagnostic on your phone to look at the battery. 1-800-My-Apple

My iPhone 4 battery will not fully charge after latest update. What gives?

I updated to the latest software and now my iPhone will not charge.

After a full 8 hour charge it only shows about 40% charge. This phone worked without incident before the last two firmware updates. I use the same wall charger and Apple cord for my iPad and wife's phone (she has not updated her phone to iOs 6.0.1) and they all work great. There must be something in the new update that kills battery life. By the way, I replaced my battery less than a month ago.

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

My Ipod 4g will not stay charged. He charges it to show full battery

My sons Ipod 4g will not stay charged. He charges it to show full battery & will only work for 20 mins or so. I have tried resetting the whole Ipod, we have tried a wall charger instead of computer charger, he has removed items off thinking they were to much for the Ipod. Nothing works.....

If you successfully (went through all steps without errors) restored the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11

My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

IPhone will not turn on, charge or connect to a PC

My iPhone will not turn on, I was installing the iOS update on 4% battery which i've realised is bad and now my phone won't charge, turn on or even connect to a pc, i've tried pressing the two buttons to try fix it but nothing happens the screen remains black, ive tried charging it from a wall and nothing works at all! Is there anything else I can do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone will not charge

I've had my 3GS for three days and actually activated it yesterday. I let the battery run down, so that I could charge it as I do for all rechargable electronics I own. However, this time, my iPhone will not come back on. It has the charging bolt but does not gain any charge, so far as I can tell. I've tried three different cords, three car chargers, six different outlets, my laptop, and my Xbox 360 and none of them can produce a result. I know I'm not the only person with this problem. What's going on and how do I fix this? And for any "go to an Apple store" responses, the nearest is nearly 2 hours away so it's not exactly a viable option.

Sorry but you've tried all the stuff you can do at home. The Apple Store is the next step - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

HT4060 iphone will not charge

Iphone will not charge; claims it is not supported, though it has worked for s a few years.
Oredered a iphone 5, which arrives Tuesday. Did apple cancel my previous phpne chargeabiity?

Ordering a new phone won't impact your current phone's ability to charge. Have you turned your phone completely off and back on? Also, you could try a Reset by holding both the Sleep Key and the Home Key down until about 15 seconds have passed.

Try and reset your iphone from the settings preferences in the iphone software. Reset all settings. Heard this solves a lot of issues. If that don't work; restore.
