Whenever I use my phone while it's charging, it loses charge

I just recieved an iPhone 4 over the weekend and whenever I plug it in to charge, t'll charge when I don't use it. But, if I wanna do something like reply to a message or check a social network, it starts to lose charge. I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions are welcome.

Yes you can use your iPad while it is charging. I do it all the time. It will not hurt anything.

  • I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

  • With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

    With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
    Thank you.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • My charger started on fire? I wasn't even using my phone while charging it.

    My charger just started on fire and I wasn't even using my phone while it was charging.

    If you do not live near an apple retail store, you should call applecare as soon as possible.  They may request photos of the area after the incident.

  • Updated to IOS8 and didn't realize I had added a security feature where I have to enter a code whenever I use the phone.  How can I change that?

    Updated 4S to IOS8 and now have to enter code whenever I use the phone , even to make a call.  How can I reverse this?

    You are welcome.  I always have passcode on.  It makes my phone secure and it is really not a nuisance. I have the phone set to require a passcode after 5 min.  When I receive a call I do not need to enter the code to answer the call.

    First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

  • Whenever I use the pedometer while playing music

    The playback slows down significantly.

    No you have a 5th Generation iPod Nano, NOT a Fifth Generation iPod.
    I have both a Fifth Generation iPod (60 GB), and a 5th Generation iPod Nano (16GB). The issue does not occur on mine, so if you have already tried a Reset, and/or Restoring your Nano in iTunes, and it did not help, you need to get your Nano serviced.
    You also need to get your computer keyboard looked at, for some reason it is capitalizing every word you type which makes it harder to read your post.

  • Using phone while charging

    should the iphone be used while it is plugged in the computer charging or on the dock? will it damage the phone? should i wait until it is fully charged each time before using it?

    There's nothing wrong with using your phone while it's plugged in to charge. All it might do is increase the charging time a bit. But in essence, using it while charging isn't a bad thing. I've heard though, that you don't want to make a habit of it. But that was on older phones, when batteries were a lot touchier.

  • Use of phone during iCloud backup?

    My very first iCloud backup is going to take about 4 hours. My question is, can I "lock" the phone and/ or use other apps while the download is in progress or will this "interupt" the process and cause it to stop?

    It's possible to use the phone while it is restoring a backup (after it restarts), but I haven't seen any documentation on whether or not it's an issue when you are backing it up.  If you have to use it I suppose you could try.  If the backup fails, back up again.

  • Can i use my ipad while it is charging?

    Cna I use the ipad while it is plugged in and charging?

    Yes, but that will slow down the charging since you are using energy at the same time.

  • My phone was 100% when i slept at midnight, when i woke up at 8 am in the morning my phone was dead and I had to charge the battery again .. this is the second time its happening to me. Is it normal or my phone is abnormal ?

    So I just got a 3 months Old iphone 4s which is still under warranty. I charged my phone to 100% last night before going to bed. When i woke up at 8 in the morning my phone was switched off and the battery was drained . This is ridiculous that I dint use my phone while i was asleep and the battery drained completely. Even though, Apple store replaced my battery with a new one. I had set alarm for 8è o clock and my phone had died and due to that i woke up at 8:40am.  I had turned off my location services, ping and even 3G to monitor the usage. Has any one been expeirencing this kind of problem ?
    I am so going to apple store today to get an replacement, this is ridiculous I cant wake up in the middle of the night to check if my phone has juice init to wake me up in the morning for the work. I have been using apple phones since 2008 and never came such problem . Please assist me as this phone is the main source of communicating with the rest of the world.

    Have you stopped the app running in multi tasking? To do this double click your home button, select and hold any app until it jiggles. Select the no entry sign to stop the app from running.

  • I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into a family members iPhone 4s. We have both backed up our phones to our computers.  I don't want his contacts listed on the phone while I use it, just mine.  How do I remove them off the iPhone 4s.

    I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into my husbands iPhone 4s, which he is not using.  We have both backed up our phones on to our own computers.  I don't want his contacts left on the phone while I use it.  How do I remove his info including music, photos etc from the iPhone 4s before I insert my own sim card.

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

    Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext

  • White bright light on unlocking the phone while using the touch ID

    Whenever i unlock my phone using touch finger id , a bright white light comes up on the left top corner.

    Hey there Vishesh Narang,
    It sounds like you are getting a flash of light in the upper left corner of your screen when you unlock the phone using Touch ID. I would start by quitting all the open apps first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article to delete the current iOS installation, and install a fresh copy
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
