My iphone 4 is only charging 98%. Do I need to change battery?

My iphone 4 is only charging 98%. what should I be doing?

If you leave your iPhone plugged in longer than it takes to fully charge it, it will start to drain a little. This is what's supposed to happen. When it drains a bit, it charges up again. So, depending on what point you look at it, it might be 100%, it might be 99%, 98%, 97%. Apple recommends that you follow the procedure wjosten described about once a month to keep the battery sensor calibrated. However, I think it's quite possible that what you're seeing is normal operating behavior.

    You will need to contact the app developer if your having problems with a 3rd paty app.  See if they have a support forum.

  • IPhone 5 will only charge once dead

    Hey everyone, I've got an issue that I can't seem to find any forum posts about anywhere.
    My iPhone 5 will only charge once it is completely dead. If it is not, I get a message displaying "This accessory is not supported by this device," (or something along those lines), or nothing happens at all. Once it is completely dead, I can charge it, but if I take the charger out before it's fully charged it won't begin to charge again until it's dead. Even if I turn the phone off and charge it, it does not charge while off unless dead.
    What I've already tried:
    - Different chargers (5 of them, 3 different charger blocks, and charging from my laptop, both Apple and third party)
    - Resetting all settings to factory default
    - Going to the Apple Store. They would not touch my phone because I replaced my own screen with a non-Apple piece
    Any ideas?? Please help.
    NOTE: I cannot update to the newest iOS as I cannot connect to iTunes until this problem is fixed.

    If changing out the charging unit and the cable doesn't work, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

    That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
    When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service.

  • HT4993 My Iphone 5 will only charge when dead. It won't charge with the screen on. How can I fix this?

    My phone will only charge when completely dead. When charging it turns on as usual, however it discontinues its charge when the screen comes on. It won't charge again until it dies from 1% how do I fix this fast. I need my phone daily for work.

  • IPHONE 4S WILL ONLY CHARGE ON COMPUTER

    Suddenly last week my iphone 4S would not charge on my car charger or any wall charger.  Well..actually if you plugged it in, the charging icon would not come on but it would charge to about 20% if you left it plugged in all night.  This was on several different chargers.  My other iphones charged on the same chargers just fine.  I discovered by accident that it charges normally when plugged into the computer. I have tried with different charger cords and it is the same with all of them.  My other phones all work fine so it is not the chargers.  I have seen other posts that mention something about an update.  Any help would be appreciated.

    My problem is very similar.  My 4s will charge on my computer but not on my wall charger or car charger.  I have tried different charges and cables and the phone does not light up and say it is charging unless I plug it into my computer. 
    My iPad will still charge from my wall units.  I feel sorry for people having this problem, because others think it is the cord or charger.   Any help would be appreciated.  Hope someone figures it out. 

  • Macbook shuts down without charger plugged in, does need a new battery or is it something else? thx

    My macbook works with the charger plugged in but even when it shows it charged without the charger it shuts down. Does it need a new battery or is it something else. How do i check battery life?

    It probably needs a new battery. Check your battery info by clicking the Apple menu and select about this Mac, then either click more info or system report depending on which version of OS X you're running.

  • Iphone 4 will only charge from computer and wall socket?

    This is really upsetting me as I have spent a fortune on Apple products over the years and the accessories that are "made for ipod and iphone" over the years and now those are useless with the device I use the most.  If this doesnt get sorted, I'll be going to another brand. 
    That is just illogical and unintelligent.  Stop whining.  And while you're at it... leave.  No one here cares about which product you go with.

    An update for what?  Your logic processor?  Not gonna happen.  Only YOU can update that.
    Clean the dock connector on the device, it is likely dirty or full of lint.

  • My iPhone 5C will only charge when the phone is switched off I've tried multiple leads and still it will only charge when it's switched off, somebody has told me it's the battery? But I don't know what to do

    yesterday my charger was working fine, all day long I got home and go to plug it in and it's not working, I let my phone die and it starts working like the battery symbol shows up but once the phone is on it stops working. I've tried a couple of leads but I know they aren't proper apple and it still doesn't work, my friend said I've probably fried the battery but I'm not sure, but I know since I got the phone the battery hasn't been all that good, it charges quickly but then also dies quickly, I really don't know what to do and I really need some help, should I get a new lead or replace my phone because I have insurance?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If nothiing above helped, restore the iPhone to factory settings >  Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • My iPhone 4s Will only charge when power is off!!

    Hi, I haven't come across with anyone with this weird problem, My iPhone 4s Cant charge whilst phone is on, and whilst its on I cant connect to computer as it wont read like the port on the phone is disabled. once the iPhone dies, that's when the phone will charge. why is this? I have got the battery changed to a new one but no luck, I try to backup via iClod as I cant connect to my computer but the battery don't last to save 32gb of data. Has anyone come across this issue? if so did you manage to rectify it? if so please can you help me with this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gabriel

    Sorry - not understanding completely
    What do mean by when battery dies?
    Is that a specific percentage that it drains to or totally off? (device shuts off)
    Open an online chat with Apple and they can run a remote diagnostic on your battery

  • My iPhone 4 will only charge on the computer.  It no longer charges using the wall charger.  I know the wall chargers work.  Anyone have any ideas??

    It no longer charges using the wall charger.  I know the wall chargers work.  Anyone have any ideas??

    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • Having trouble opening jpeg files in iphone mail. Is there a setting I need to change?

    I am not able to open a jpeg attachment in an email sent to my iPhone 4.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Click and shift works for me, so this is not a Mavericks bug.
    Try deleting any finder.plist files and restarting.
    To do that, click the desktop so Finder is active, then click on Go in the menu bar. In the dropdown select Library. In that folder look for Preferences. In the Preferences folder there will be at least two files whose names start com.apple.finder.....
    Trash them all and restart.

  • Why will my iPhone 4 only charge on the computer

    My iphone 4 will only charge on the computer and not the wall charger my ipod will not also not charge on the wall charger,

    Try different Wall Charger to see if it is the problem. Try different USB cable to see if it is the problem. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, the Wall Charger and USB Cable are covered too.

  • 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.
