My iPhone 4S was completely dead

My iPhone was completely dead because I fell asleep at a low percentage. SO naturally I plugged it in when I woke up. I check my phone about 10-15 minutes later and my phone is at 60%. I unplugged it and it seems to be acting normal
But is this something I should get checked?

My iPhone 4 is completely dead. How do I get it on?

My iPhone 4 is completely dead. I've tried everything I can think of but it won't turn on. It had been working ok until I shut it down at night and in the morning I couldn't get it to turn back on. Is there a way I can get it back on or is it completely shot? Thanks.

It was working fine, the battery was about 75%. It completely shut down on its own (black screen), no error messages. Now I cannot get it to come back on. If I plug it into iTunes nothing show up. It acts like the battery is totally dead, but I'm sure it's not.
When I hold down the home and power buttons nothing happens.

When my iphone 4s goes completely dead how long should it take to recognize the charger and begin to charge?

when my iphone 4s goes completely dead how long should it take to recongize the charger and begin to charge?

How do you know it is not charging? Do you see anything on the screen at all? Have you tried a reset? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. If the phone was completly dead, it may take up to 15 seconds or more for the Apple logo to appear.

Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all. Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color. Help?

No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

Iphone 4s was completely powerless. On charge now, but screen is showing itunes logo with power adapter. Won't respond to anything else. Even tried rebooting and restarting. Comes back on with same thing on the screen

My iphone 4s needed recharging, the battery was completely dead. Recharging now bit all thats come on the screen is the itunes logo showing a power adapter. I've tried rebooting and switching off and on. Still showing the same thing. Will not respond to any other actions

if its showing the connect to itunes screen(itunes logo and power cord) then that means your phone needs to be restored. you'll need to hook it up to your computer and restore it thorugh itunes.

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life!

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life! What to do???

Was late to work because my alarm didn't go off on my iPhone this morning! (4 w/ IOS 5) When I woke up, I went to check my phone and it wouldn't turn on; so I plugged it in to the charger and no response. I left it plugged in while I was getting ready...came back a shortwhile later...still no signs of life. At that point, I held both buttons for several seconds and the apple logo appeared and the lock screen displayed shortly thereafter. And what's odd, is that it showed that I had about 80% of battery life left. So it seems like something else caused it to shutdown completely. One note though...I updated to IOS 5 on Sunday...and I've used my phone ever since with no problems. So this is the first time this has happened since the update.
In looking at a thread on another site, I found this excerpt from an alleged beta tester back in June...and it was in reference to the iPad 2 with IOS 5, but seemed plausible enough to share here:
Issue: "Hey guys, whenever my iPad 2 is locked for a while, it wont wake from sleep. I have to give it a hard reset. Is anyone else having this issue?"
Response: "I think I isolated the issue....make sure banner notifications are turned off for mail app. If the screen is locked and you get a mail it freezes up causing you to reboot. hope it gets fixed in the next beta!"
Follow-up: "Did it help you at all? I tried recreating every way I could think of with mail and never could. I'll turn of mail notifications for the rest of the night and see what happens."
"Hey Rick, yes it helped, my iPad no longer shuts off. I turned off mail banner notifications like Defender2010 said, and at least for now, it doesn't turn off anymore."

My iphone 5c is completely dead and its charging but it wont turn on. Please help me.

So my iPhone 5c is completely dead. it has the charging sign on it and everything. And I plug it in and its charging but it will not turn on. I cant afford to get it fixed or anything so I need a way to get it back. Please help me.

Is it stuck on the apple logo or just saying that it is charging?

My iphone 4 is completely dead, non responsive and wont charge? Was fine an hour ago, what happened?

Was literally on my iphone 4, which is in perfect condition less than an hour ago. It was charged, sitting next to my bed and completely uneffected. Went to try to use it again and now its completely dead. Won't charge, hard start, turn on or respond to anything. Thoughts?

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If this does not work, contact Apple Support to get it looked at or visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place.

My iphone 4S is completely dead-can not turn it on and no indication on charging. It is two weeks old!

I installed the latest software update and the next day the iphone is completely dead. It does not turn on or off. Connected to the charger, there is no indication of charging. I have had this iphone for about two weeks.

Thanks for the advice. I just went to try the hard restart and my phone came on (without the hard restart) showing 15% for battery life. It was plugged in overnight (maybe a bad connection), but clearly something is very strange as it was fully charged as of about 4PM yesterday. I have had an iphone for about three years (3GS) and never experienced this before. It now seems to be charging but there is not the usual battery symbol on the screen. I am guessing that I should somehow reload the software update (I have already done the update last Friday). Any suggestions (or should I venture to the Apple Store just to have it checked out)?

Do that repeatedly and you soon will have a completely useless battery on your hands.
Solution - charge it up BEFORE it auto shuts off on you.
Repeatedly deep cycling a Lithium cell will ruin it much faster than charging it when only partially discharged.

Have commenced download of IOS 6.1 for my Iphone 4S and it is taking hours to download yet our other Iphone 4 was completed in 10 minutes whats wrong?

Have commenced download of IOS 6.1 but its taking hours instead of minutes whats wrong?

Since the day I installed the update the ios6 I have a few bugs, but especially the batery lost enormously autonomy. 50% at least.
This is outrageous. Impossible to keep the phone in these conditions. Apple must authorize downgrade to ios5 !

My iPhone 4s is completely dead. Won't charge or turn on. Help!

My phone has been draining the battery irregularly, but just now it won't turn on or charge or anything! iTunes won't respond either. Help!

Did you try using the wall plug to charge?
Charge it at least 15 minutes then
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

My Iphone 4s shuts off once it drops below 20% battery as if its completely dead. Before the update it would stay on until at least 5% or less.

I have updated my phone to the most recent but now my phone will randomly shut off after it drops below about 20% battery life... tonight I was at 21% and it shut off as if it was completely dead. Yesterday it died completely at 13%. It doesn't turn back on until it is plugged in and sometimes it will pop back on immediately after being plugged in. Is there a way to fix this or does another small update to fix this have to come out?

I have the same issue. I think it may be related to cold weather. I am now inside writing this without plugging it in immediately after it repeatedly shut off outside with ~18% battery. This is really bad. It almost left me stranded as I was expecting to call for a ride.
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1, Sprint

IPhone 4S completely dead - will not reboot with holding down sleep

We were using the phone, left it for a while, when I went to use it again it was completely dead. I then could not start it, charge it or reboot it using the sleep & home buttons.

Umm, thanks. I am on holiday at the moment. Do you think there is any chance of saving it?
