Why won't my iphone charge?

Question

Why won't my iphone charge?

I've had my iphone since December 2008 and I've charged it through my computer, through a wall outlet and in my car with no problem. Last night, I went to charge it and though I get power to it, it doesn't charge. I've tried it through my computer and through the wall. No luck.

Any thoughts?

G4, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Try rebooting the phone. Try a different cable. Have your tried both the Apple charge and your computer? If you are using a dock try connecting directly to the cable. Last resort, take it to an Apple store or call iphone support.

Thanks. I rebooted and I'm good to go! I will remember that next time. SO glad I don't have to go into Apple.

I really appreciate you taking the time.

Yes i've had the same problem happen a few times. It really did charge but it still showed the red battery. Simply rebooting the phone fixed it. I haven't had the problem on my 3G phones at all.
