Why does my iPhone 4s refuse to charge or turn on

On two separate occasions since I have owned it I have let my iPhone run flat. On both occasions it has refused to start up or acknowledge the charge. Obviously it did in the end. I even took it back to the shop the first time where of course (sod's law) it immediately behaved itself and made me feel stupid. Am I expecting it to fire up too quickly after a complete discharge. How long before the Apple shows and it switches on? Is there a known fault? This last time a soft reset seemed to work.

I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

    When you say "off" do you mean it sleeps and comes back on instantly when you press the HOME or SLEEP buttons, or really turns off, so when you turn it back on you have to wait a couple of minutes for it to boot?

  • Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging?

    Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging?  It seams like it is at every 10% increment, I get a "beep".  I keep the phone by my bed at night and this is bothering me!  This has been happening only for a short while, the phone was new last December.  I do not keep real close track of the last IOS update so I can not "blame" it on that or some "wierd App" that has "altered" my phone!
    So if anyone has an idea, please share!

    why don't you bring your phone to Apple for battery diagnostics.  I assume you've tried a different charger and cable.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep loosing charge so quick

    I have recently noticed my iphone 4 keeps loosing charger very quick. Im having to charge it atleast twice a day anyone know how to resolve the problem by keeping the charge a little longer

    First, I doubt your phone is "loosing" charge.  It's probably "losing" charge. 
    Second, you need to look in the "More Like This" box to your right or search this forum for excellent tips on how to maximize battery life.

  • Why does my iPhone 3G refuse to connect to Wi-fi?

    My iPhone will not pick-up any wireless networks at all.Just E/3G. When I go into the settings it does the little loading circle thing but wont find any networks that I've been to. Can someone please help???

    Have you tried:
    Reset
    Restart
    Reset Network Settings
    Restore as "new"
    If none of those resolve the issue, that would tend to indicated the Wi-Fi chip has failed.

  • HT1476 My battery shows 100% than 5 min later it says 30% why does my iPhone 5 not stay charged for a long time

    My iPhone 5 will not stay charged it says it's 100% charged then 5 min later it says I have 30% battery life please help

    Off-brand cables and chargers are often a source of problems with iOS devices...always use genuine Apple cables and chargers as they meet the specs for the device.
    The best solution at this point would be to take the iPone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have all tested to see if there are faults in the components.

  • HT1476 why does my iphone turn it'self on after charging?

    Why does my iphone 4 turn itself back on after/while charging?

    You are right, Apple uses this "help" board to allow other users to help and yes it does avoid hiring more paid employees because every question answered here doesn't need to be answered by a phone person. But, not every question can be answered by other users or not every question is seen by the one person who does know the answer. When that happens, you still have the option to call Apple support at 1-800-275-2273 or you can go to https://expresslane.apple.com and speak directly with Apple.

  • Why does my iPhone 4GS bounce of the TV

    Why does my iPhone 4S bounce of the TV (not flatscreen, old thick Philips) when I put the iPhone on top of it? It happens after some time, perhaps 20 minutes. The phone bounces of the TV and lands on the floor. The TV is off!

    Hi,
    That sounds like attention seeking behaviour.
    Step over it and ignore the antics.
    When it behaves in the fashion you expect it is OK to pick it up and follow the normal nurturing you use.
    If you do respond to it you will soon find yourself planning a zip line from your upstairs bedroom to the kitchen, coupled with a refusal to get in your pocket when you are ready to leave the house.

  • HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    Hi Cyprus11,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
    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 30 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.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • Why does my IPhone 4 transfer  messages from Inbox to Trash right after downloading them?

    Why does my IPhone 4 transfer messages from the Inbox to Trash right after downloading them?

    if it was iMessage, you wouldn't be charged, because they don't send as sms.  I would contact your carrier, because this is a weird issue that is most likely happening from their end

    why does my iphone 4s gets really hot even though im not using it, battery drain's 2% every 5 minutes.. and its just in my pocket,. what will i do?

    some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

    I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
    When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
    Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
    Thanks!

    you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    /* Load the request. */
    [myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
    the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?
