My iPhone 4 has been having trouble charging.

My iPhone 4 had been having trouble charging for a while so i switched cords thinking that was the problem. That worked for a while then i kept having to switch cords every few days or it wouldnt work. As of last night my phone wont charge with any cord in any computer or in the wall or my car. I got frustrated so i turned it off hoping to preserve what little battery life i had left. When i turned it back on i noticed it had charged! The charge doesnt last as long as it normally did but it still works. When its plugged into the computer and turned on it doesnt recognise that its plugged into anything and doesnt start syncing or charging but if i go into iTunes it recognises the device is connected and i can manually sync my phone as long as it is on. Do i need to replace the charging port? Does the battery also need replaced? Has anyone else had this happen?

Sounds like the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery, with the charging port, or both.

  • Hi, my iPhone 4 has been having difficulty in updating apps.

    Hi, my iPhone 4 has been having difficulty in updating apps even after several "retrys". It says "can't be updated at this time". Please help, thanks!

    If you suspect that the audio is going to some AirPlay device, turn off AirPlay or simply change the output source from this mystery device to the iPhone.
    Changing the output can be done in the audio app (music, Podcasts, etc) or video app or Control Center.
    AirPlay can be turned off by simply turing off Wi-Fi.

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

  • My iPhone 4S has been having Wi-Fi problems ever since I updated to iOS 5.1???

    Ever since I got my iPhone 4S it was working perfectly. The day I updated to iOS 5.1 it started having Wi-Fi issues. The Wi-Fi was working and on my iPhone it wasn't even connecting to the network. I called Verizon and they tried troubleshooting it and still it didn't work. They then sent me a new iPhone 4S for free. It was working perfectly. Then I updated to iOS 5.1 (it came with iOS 5.0.1) and then it started having the Wi-Fi problem again. My dad's phone hasn't been having that problem. And he updated to iOS 5.1. Is this a software problem or is it a problem with the iPhone's hardware??? Like the Wi-Fi antenna or something like that. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

    Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

    If the iPhone still has Warranty or AppleCare, then it will be covered at Apple. If no coverge, time to buy new charger if you think you need one, as the PC seems to work for you.

    Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

    Greetings Blueleoapple,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
