My Iphone 4 battery will not charge, only when I no level battery

Hey, like the title.
My Iphone 4 will not charge, only when the battery is totally dead.

Hello, DrSmith_01. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPhone.  If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help.

  • Gen5, 80Gb iPod battery will not charge.  States: please wait. Battery very low. ANY help?

    5gen video iPod will not charge.  Only states in LCD window: please wait.  Very Low Battery.  Can anyone help?

    That's usually a good indication that your iPod battery's is shot and in need of a replacement.  If you'd like, Apple can swap out the battery for a flat fee.

    Otherwise, you can also send it to a third party repair service center that could do the same job for a little less. Google "ipod battery replacement" for different options.

  • IPhone 3G will not charge, stuck on "lightning bolt" low battery screen

    Hello,
    Yesterday I used my iPhone all day, like normal, until the battery got so low that it died at maybe 10pm. I plugged it into the charger that night, but this morning, all that's on the screen is a big empty battery with a sliver of red and a lightning bolt. If I unplug the charger, it shows an electrical cord + a lightning bolt for about 5 seconds, then it turns off. I've tried multiple cables and multiple power sources (charger, pc), but it will not change.
    I was able to get the phone into DFU mode, and I restored it via iTunes normally, but when it rebooted and said "wait for the iphone to show up in itunes to set it up", it just went back to the battery screen and never showed up in iTunes.
    Any ideas?

    Tyler,
    I ended up buying and installing a new battery from Amazon, and I never had the problem again. The new one charges fine.

  • Reinstalled Windows on HP Compaq nc2400 & battery will not charge.

    I reinstalled Windows XP on a friends HP Compaq nc2400 now the battery will not charge. When I plug in the AC power cord the device manager thinks it is Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet card. I have reinstalled the battery and AC drivers to no avail.  Any idea of what might be the issue. I have also tried a spare battery and power cord to no avail.
    Thanks in advance.

    You're very welcome.
    Do you know if the battery was charging beforehand?
    Is it possible the contacts on the battery/notebook got bent somehow?
    You can try this...
    Reset the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery which is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted.
    Step 1. Go to Device Manager
    Step 2. Select Batteries
    Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    Step 4. Click Uninstall
    Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
    Step 6. Shutdown the computer
    Step 7: Remove the battery for minute and then put it back in
    When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
    Step 8. Go to Device Manager
    Step 9. Select Batteries
    Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    Step 11. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
    Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.

  • My iphone 4s will not charge it only charges when it is completely dead what do I do?

    My iphone 4s will not charge it only charges when it is completley dead..somtimes what do I do?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - 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.

  • Iphone 4 will not charge when on.

    Your cable is covered by a one year warranty. Try contacting AppleCare and see if you're still eligible for replacement

  • Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead.  Any ideas

    Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead.  Any ideas

    I updated my iphone 4 to ios7 three days ago. It now will only charge if connected to a computer USB port, either Mac or windows. It no longer charges on any wall mounted USB cable, like it did before the upgrade. The wall mounted cables still work just fine with an iPhone 4S and a new iPad retina display but not at all with the iPhone 4. Took it to a genius at apple store and they checked the battery. It still charges to 80% of original. They were clueless and suggested I replace the unit.  It seemed to be related to ios7

  • IPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not take charge

    iPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not charge

    Hello Kbeaty531,
    The following article provides some good information and useful troubleshooting steps for situations where your iPhone appears to not be charging.
    iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the phone with an iPhone USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
    You should see this image when iPhone begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, try resetting the iPhone while connected to the iPhone charger.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Any ideas on how to fix ipad after the new iOS 7 update? My battery will not charge, my ipad is hot to the touch, the iTunes Store won't open, and my messages on Facebook aren't showing up when I chat and pintrest won't pin to my boards.

    Any ideas on how to fix ipad after the new iOS 7 update? My battery will not charge, my ipad is hot to the touch, the iTunes Store won't open, and my messages on Facebook aren't showing up when I chat and pintrest won't pin to my boards.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • Iphone 4 will not charge and itunes does not recogise it at all.  When I plug it in to charge it says that it needs to be restored.

    My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it in, it will turn on but it says that it needs to be restored and will not do anything else.  When I plug it into itunes it isn't recognized at all.  I took it into the verizon store and they were not any help at all.  My phone isn't under warranty anymore so they don't care.  Please help, I had to go back to my old phone, a droid and I hate it so much. 

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

  • Iphone 4  will not charge until battery totally dead

    My iphone 4 will not charge until the batter is run fullly down. After the phone powers itself down automatically due to lack of charge. Then and only then the phone will take a charge. Has anyone else had this happen or know how to fix this?

    You probably need to do this...

  • My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
    That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.

  • My iPhone 5 will not charge. Has new battery. Must be the lightening connection. Any advice. Genius told me to buy a new phone for $250. HELP,

    My iPhone 5 will not charge. Even though it will show that it is charging, it will often not accept a charge. Appears to be the lightening connection, because I can sometimes get it to work by playing with the connection point.  Phone is 16 months old. This problem has been on-going for months, and is getting worse.
    Anything I can do other than buying another new phone?

  • Droid X battery  will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount

    Droid X battery will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount. If you plug phone directly in to car charger it charges fine. This makes using the GPS virtually useless as it runs down the battery very fast. Anyone else have this problem. Other wise I love the phone.

    Many of the Verizon Droid X car mounts have defective wires in them. This problem is widely reported on many forums and websites. You should return your product for a brand new replacement that is not defective  (that is, the car charger will charge your Droid X when it is in the car mount).
    I happen to love the Verizon Droid X car mount. Lot of ways to adjust it from different angles for different placements. Just get a Verizon Droid X car mount replacement that does not have defective wires in it, and it should work just fine!
