My iPhone 4 decided to stop charging?

My IPhone Is less then a year old, the problem is NOT the charge cable, power outlet, or a case of having a dirty charge point. I would suspect my battery has failed me, but since the phone is still so new I would have to assume that cannot be the problem. The phone has died now, and will not accept charge when it was on or now that it is off. If anyone has any ideas then that would be helpful. Thanks.

William,
Your phone is normal.  You inadvertantly enabled an Accessibility feature called "Voice Over" in your iPhones settings, or some mischievous person was having some fun with you and turned it on.
The feature can be found here:  Settings ==> General ==> Accessibility ==> VoiceOver
This feature is to assist the visually impaired.  It does the following:
VoiceOver speaks items on the screen.  To select an item, touch it.  To activate the selected item, Double-tap. To scroll, flick three fingers.
Since VoiceOver is active, you will need to do these actions to navigate to the setting so you can turn it off.
I am sure this was maddening while it enabled, especially when you didn't know what the heck was going on.

  • HT4061 My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging even though I have used different cables and adaptors. The cables adaptors charge another phone so nothing wrong at that end

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging. Have used three different cables and adaptors to no avail. The cables charge other phones so something wrong with the phone only. Need advice on possible solutions?

    Always try
    a reset then
    a restore first with back up then as new ,as required
    If still no improvement visit Apple Store genius bar
    BUT first check there is no debris in charging socket

  • How do I fix my Iphone 5C that has stopped charging?

    My Iphone 5C has stopped charging. I got a new power chord and that did not help. I want it to work so I don't lose all of my pictures. suggestions?

    And with the new power cord it is not charging on the computer or the wall charger?
    Get  a flashlight and a magnifying glass and check the Lightning port on the iPhone. Clean any dirt/debris/lint, etc. that you find.

  • My iPhone 4 has recently stopped charging

    I hardly ever sync my phone with my iTunes account, but I did on Tuesday and since then I have had problems charging it.  First it starting saying that my car charger was not supported by iPhone, so I charged it on my laptop using the sync cable.  Then last night the battery ran completely dead, and now it won't charge with the sync cable either.  When first plugged it it brings up the empty battery icon, with the plug, arrow and charge symbols underneath, so it's not actually charging at all.  Been on the phone to apple support and they got me to try the hard reset which didn't work, and told me basically it's knackered and I will have to pay £120 for a refurbished one.  I just find it same that it worked fine until I synced it with iTunes the other day.  Has anyone got any advice? Thanks.

    Syncing would have no affect on the ability for the battery to charge. What you describe with the car charger makes me wonder if there is something caught in the connector area of the phone. Try blowing that out with some compressed air. You can also take a soft toothbrush and brush the connector area slightly. Try another cable with the device and try connecting it individually to both the wall charger and then the USB on the computer and see if it will charge with either one.

  • My iphone 4 lock button stopped working and now it won't charge

    Hi.
    A couple of weeks ago my iphone 4's lock button randomly stopped working, I had never dropped my iphone so I couldn't figure out why this had occurred. I did not see this as a big problem until recently when my iphone stopped charging. The iPhone had worked just as normal the day before it stopped charging. I usually charge my iphone over night, but one night it reached around 85% and stopped charging. I have tried it with several different iphone chargers and different plugs in the house but still the iPhone wouldn't charge. Now my iphone has ran out of battery and due to the fact that my lock button is broken, I can't try anything to turn it on. Does my battery need replacing?
    Thanks,
    Anna.

  • Need to stop charging battery if I conncted iPhone to the PC

    Hi every body
    Sometimes I need to connect my iPhone to iTunes to install apps or movies but I don't want to charge the battery ... as I know it is bad practice to charge the battery if not empty of very low. so is there any way to stop charging from pc ??

    This is false. With lithium-based batteries like the one in the iPhone, there is no need to run the battery down before charging it (in fact, that's not the best thing for the battery - they 'like' frequent, light use). You are (incorrectly) applying advice for an older battery chemistry (nickel-based).

  • IPhone 4 recently stopped charging.

    So I've had my iPhone 4 for a while now and just recently (tonight) it stopped charging. I plugged it into my friends charger and it very slowly started loosing battery life. So I tried my charger and it just constantly shows the "charging" icon. It's not a matter of which charger because it has been used with many different chargers before. Any suggestions?
    I dont want to take it to the apple store because I dont have a warranty on it...
    This *****...

    Hey guys,
    I have the same problem with a brand new 1  month old iphone 4S.

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • HT201412 My iPhone 4S stops charging a few seconds after being connected to the USB, it will, however, charge when it is switched off.

    iPhone stops charging a few seconds after being connected to a USB slot, it will charge when switched off is I think it must be a software issue.

    HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

  • Iphone 5 Stopped Charging

    Hello,
    Last night my iphone would randomly stop charging and vibrate everytime I made a sudden movement. Today, it has stopped charging all together. It is very low on battery, and the phone is only a few months old since I recently upgraded. I never had this issue with my other phones, and didn't have it on this phone until I installed the iOS7.0.2 update.
    The pop-up message when it stopped charging each time was "This accessory may not be supported."
    What should I do? I'd appreciate any help.
