WIFI Disconnecting while Charging iPhone 4S

I charge my iPhone everynight while I sleep.  I have it plugged into the wall.  When I open my phone in the morning I check my data manager and most mornings it's already used 2-10mb of data.  Not good when I only have 300mb for the month.  When I first open my phone, it has the 4G icon at the top until I unlock it then the WIFI re-connects.  Why is my WIFI not staying connected while it's charging and what is it doing to use that data?  I have tried killing all my apps, turning off backups and syncs, data pushes and everything, but it's still using data for something.  I even turned off the Cellular Data one night and it still had used 3mb of data!  Any thoughts?  I've had this problem before and after iOS 6 update.

  • While charging iphone with usb adapter supplied with the phone power line gets blown up ?

    While charging my IPHONE 4S with the USB adapter supplied along with iphone the power line gets blown up every time  and I am left only with the option to recharge through the USB port of my laptom.Any remedy?

    Have you tried other outlets? That may be an electrical problem in your house, worse case scenario. Try other USB wall adapters.

  • Weird touchscreen response while charging iPhone 4.?

    Hi,
    I used to charge my iPhone 4 via USB Chord using my laptop only. But recently I shifted to charging it through the power adaptor which comes along the Apple iPhone 4. But during charging, my touchscreen acts weirdly, I touch somthing and some other app opens.. I cant even unlock it during charging..
    I am using the Official Apple Power Adaptor and the Official Apple iPhone 4 USB Chord which comes inside the box along with Apple iPhone 4.
    I even tried charging my iPhone 4 with Official Apple Power Adaptor BUT WITH the USB Chord of Apple iPod Classic also. But the problem still persists..
    I have tried charging my iPhone with its cover on and even without its cover on.. But no relief..
    Please help me out.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same issue on my iPhone 4S.  While charging, the touch screen will perform wildly inaccurately.  I will touch one spot on the screen and an entirely different section of the screen will react.
    I bought this in to the apple store and got my phone replaced under warranty. 
    Still, my new phone is having the exact same problem.  This is incredibly frustrating, especially b/c I try not to charge my battery until it is very low (as you should with LI batteries).  This often means I'm charging my phone during the work day and cannot use it b/c of the screen issue.
    Could it be a software issue since I am experiencing this on two different phones?

  • IPhone 4 disconnecting while charging (different chargers)

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4 has two seperate apple branded chargers and it has had a problem changing on both.  It will charge fine sometimes but others it will connect/disconnect repeatedly and vibrate while it is doing it.  I have checked the connections on the cords but nothing seems loose.
    Occasionally it will give me a error that it does not recognize the charge cord.  Do I have two fauly cords or is my iPhone the problem?
    Version 4.3.3
    Thank you,
    Rayvin

    I plugged it into one of the cords this afternoon (that it has charged fine from before at times and flickered in it's connection at others) and I received a "Charging is not supported with this accessory" error.   I reset the iphone 4 and it is not charging without errors.   But I have reset before only to have this come back.   Is there a permanent fix?
    Thank you.

  • Disconnecting While Charging?

    this happened yesterday where in I put my computer to go to 'sleep' after only 10 minutes of no activity(dont ask why)
    my ipod during that time (and after my computer went into sleep mode) was being charged and being updated for new songs,after a few hours in returning to my computer I 'woke' my computer from sleep mode and saw on my itunes the message the OK sign that my ipod was updated and ok to eject,but when released it,my ipod still had that message of "Do Not Disconnect",so I had to reset it again,and everything was fine and went to back normal
    does this in any way damage the ipod or battery function?

    It's not static electricity. It's a badly grounded outlet. It's harmless. Try plugging your charger into a different outlet or into a surge protector.

  • While charging 6 plus if I hold the screen it starts going crazy! Am I the only one this happens to?

    While charging IPhone 6 plus, the screen starts going crazy! As if I was clicking all over the screen! Just looking to see if im the only person this is happening to!

    That is not usual
    Reset the device - no data loss incurred
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Also try a different charger and a different electrical outlet for good measure
    If it is still happening - then you may be looking at taking the device to an Apple store or authorized repair store    

  • Sync with iCloud while charging crashes WiFi

    When i try to sync to iCloud while charging my iPhone 5 my WiFi goes down, not the phone but the router. After restarting the router it works again. Syncing manually while running phone on battery and wifi everyting works fine. Anyone else got this problem? Discoverd this because phone hadn't made any nightly backups for two weeks. Thats when i installed iOS 8.

    Gee, why didn't I think of that?  For those that may be keeping track this is a dlink Dir-655 (ON LATEST FIRMWARE). 
    I had no problems with my iPhone 5.  I have no problems with my iPhone 6 EXCEPT when I let the phone attempt a full iCloud backup.  I don't know what encryption or protocol this fires up but whatever it is it crashes the router.  I am hoping others with router crashing can benefit. The seemingly random crashing some have may be when the phone attempts a backup. 
    Because i use I jumped phones and iOS versions at the same time I don't know for sure which is to blame but I suspect it is the iOS creating malformed packets. My router wont packet capture and I don't have $2000 for a wifi N capture adapter. So there is not much more troubleshooting I can do. 
    MY Apple fanboy co-workers have airports and don't have iphone connectivity issues. so maybe routers do need to catch up with some wonky thing Apple is doing. I am not against buying a new router if I knew it would fix the issue but I don't have spare cash to spend right now just to make the attempt. If a new router doesn't help I will have spent money for nothing on a non-returnable item.

    I have an ipad3(wifi +cellular). Now i want to upgrade my iOS5.1 to ios 7. But download speed in our country is too slow(100kbps). It can be disconnected anytime. Is there any problem if net connection get disconnected while upgrading ios? Please ans me.

    There is something Definitely wrong with iOS 7 regarding DATA USAGE being logged to wireless carrier in for WIFI instead.
    I read all the previous replies and same issue.
    I rarely use my mac to sync....its all wifi sync for the last 2 years....never had this issue before... and i know it began with iOS7.... here is why....
    My iPhone was at home when I updated to iOS7 connected to wifi...but it logged Data Usage to Rogers Wireless (700MB approx)...data will never do an update over 50mb in app store (it gives the warning to use wifi) I play a lot of games and pay for them so I always update through App Store.  2 weeks later, simposons halloween update (650mb)...at home, using wifi.
    Rogers told me there was 700+mb data usage on the day of update and 650+mb data on oct 1.st (tapped out).
    Went over my 6GB plan and paid the fees.
    This has never happened before...It must come to apples attention by now...

  • IPhone 4s loses battery while charging?

         In the past week or week and a half, I noticed that my iPhone acutally loses battery while charging. I use my phone as an alarm clock so I plug it in overnight to be fully charged by the morning. I noticed it when I plugged it in one night at about 80%, I woke up and it was 20-30%. This has happened consistently every night since it started, not always to 20% but around 60% or slightly higher. I've tried charging to outlet I used, turning off my wifi overnight, taking the case off at night and closing all of my apps so there is nothing running in the background. I even turn my brightness all the way down. I have no idea what's wrong and nothing is able to fix it. My phone isn't new, it's about three years old (I got it a few months after the 4S came out originally). Is the phone just getting old and needs to be replaced or does it need to be sent back to Apple to be looked at or have the battery replaced?

    Charging the battery means doing work on the battery and does produce heat.  How much heat is the quesion.  Is your iPhone to hot to handle or is it just getting warm?  Warm is normal, and if you feel the charger it will also be warm while charging.
    If the iPhone is too hot to handle, that is not normal and should be checked out by an Apple tech at an Apple store genius bar.

  • Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

    My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
    I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

    I think I got an answer to my own question
    If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
    I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

    My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.
