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 will only charge when it is off???

    I just got my iphone 4 about around june of this year and ever since two or three days ago I plugged my phone in because it was dead and it would not charge but when i got it home to charge it it charged all the way and not today its doing the same thing it will only charge when it is off and then as soon as the cord powers it back on it will stop charging and say 10 pecent batt left... I bought a new cord and it still does not charge my phone idk what to do this is really annoying i also tried my charger in another iphone 4 and it charged that phone so its not the cable it has to be the phone but the phone is brand new and never has been damaged i am going to verizon to hopefully get a new phone but in the mean time looking for any suggestions or tips or maybe somene is having the same problem too

    Also when i have the charger plugged in after the phone dies it will show the charging batt symbol but as soon as it powers back on it says 10% battery life again and then when i power it off WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED the phone will not show the charging battery symbol again whihc means i have to take the charger out and put it back on and it dose it all over again charges with off but as soon as it powers on automatically it stops charging

  • 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.

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

  • TS2634 My phone won't charge and I have brought a new charger it will only charge when it is off.

    My phone won't charge and I have brought a new charger it only works when it is off HELP ME!!!

    Clean the dock connector.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • 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

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
    - 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.

  • Ipod touch will only charge when I press up on the charger

    My ipod isn't recognizing the USB wire properly, and will only charge when I press it in a certain way (where the wire connects to the ipod)
    please help!

    Have you tried another cable?
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, have you used it and tried other outlets?

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4s will not charge using wall charger unit. It will only charge when connect to my computer UBS., My iPhone 4s will not charge using wall charger unit. It will only charge when connect to my computer UBS.

    For about a month, I have to charge my iPhone 4S using my laptop UBS connection. It will not charge from the wall unit. I always update the OS. Is there any settings that I might have changed by mistake?

    I have the same issue with my partners 4S.  I have a iphone 4 and my phone works on mains powers - we have 3 different charges we have all tried on hers and do not work but work on mine.  We have tried every outlet in the house and same issue, works on mine doesnt work on her 4S.
    The issue only started about a month ago.  It started with only charging from mains if turned off - then the phone would refuse to stay turned off - now it wont charge at all from mains but works fine from a PC.
    Its a very odd one as if it was something wrong with the docking port it surely shouldnt work through PC then? 

  • My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it into my PC

    I plug my phone into my PC computer and it will charge for 2 minutes and then it stops reading my phone. I've tried unplugging it and switching ports but it does not help.
    What should I do?

    Hey there laurabosa,
    It sounds like your phone is not charging for more than a couple of minutes when connected to your computer. I recommend these troubleshooting instructions from the article named:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting. Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.=
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How come my Ipod Touch will only charge when plugged into a computer and not a docking station or wall socket?

    My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station.  Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station.  My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge.  Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes.  I have done both a soft and hard reset.

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
