Phone won't charge

Hope it helps.

If the wall charger won't charge the phone, there is no choice but to get another charger and cable.

Go to the nearest ATT store or Apple store (bring the phone with you) and see what they have. (Even a car charger will get you by). Most ATT stores have a charger cable plugged in behind the desk somewhere. If that does not work the phone is defective and needs to be replaced.

Know anyone else with an Iphone that will let you borrow the charger for a bit.

Just because the data lines in the cord work does not mean that the power lines work.

( Its a 5 pin cable on one end and a 4 pin cable on the other end.)

You may have damaged the connector in the base of the iphone too. Same deal there, a pin not making contact or something.

What is the longest you have left it on the wall charger? It can take quite a while if its totally depleted, or nearly so.

Is it hot? It will stop charging if it gets too hot.

I plugged mine into a computer that had drivers which had silently crashed and the computer made the connection noise, but the phone didn't make any noise. I didn't notice this for a while. When i did notice I could see that the charge meter was running in reverse, it was discharging. It never gave a proper reading till I used the wall charger for quite a while.

But yours sounds like something might be wrong with the phone itself. So I would to the forced power down, (both buttons till it goes black) and take it to the ATT store or Apple store rather than fight it and possibly discharge it to the point where battery damage can occur.

Just letting you know I've had this problem about 10-15 times with my new iPhone 3G. It went away after updating from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 and came back today! Here are the screenshots from my phone today. Pay attention to the iCal Date, and time at the top... the battery icon and messages... ive done restores and everything... NOTHING

Why do you say that your phone isn't charged lol? If you have been doing all the things with the phone that you say and it hasn't died it probably is charged.
