Iphone is not charging anymore

Did u try a battery replacement? I once went through this and a battery replacement was the fix. These batteries tend to get old after years of charging. Just get a new battery and your phone will boot up as normal

Ok so that problem happened to me too 3 days ago. Phone also charged when off. And today i found out that the problem is probably from the slot. I played around with the wire and while pulling it up (perpendicular to iphone), it started charging normally. So try doing that so you could know where the problem has originated. i.e. pins, battery or operating system...

Found some interesting stuff. The phone get charged when it was turned off. I set an alarm as it alerts after restarting the phone, Then phone turned off and turned back on. The alarm went on and found the mobile is recharging. unplugged the device from power source and pluged back. No sign of charging. Anyway my phone is not even one year old. I am going to claim the warrenty. **** happens!

Same problem here. Mine is an old iphone 3g, 8gb. I thought the batery was gone at all, but not even changing the battery, charger, nor the data port has solved the problem. My thinking is that this is a software problem. Has anybody been able to make it work again?

I am also having this problem, charging only if I turn off my phone. I'm wondering if it's the dock connector, or a battery issue? Has anyone solved this problem?

We went to the Apple store last night and was told we had to buy a new phone. Turned off the phone and charged it up, but have not checked to see if can connect and update phone through iTunes account. Will try later and give update. Not buying a new phone at this time.

I have this problem for a week now have you gotten your phone fixed yet? what did you do?

I tried the following advice from Sam Costello at http://ipod.about.com/od/iphoneipodbattery/tp/Iphone-Wont-Charge.htm and it worked:

Press the Hold and Home Buttons (together)

If your iPhone wasn't turned off or won't restart, try this instead: hold down the Hold button and the Home button on the bottom center of the front of the iPhone at the same time. Hold them both for at least 10 seconds (there's nothing wrong with holding for 20 or 30 seconds, either, though if nothing has happened at that point, it probably won't). In many cases, the silver Apple logo will appear and the phone will boot up.

My iphone stopped charging also, if I wiggled the dock connector it would work for a little while. So I figured the dock connector was faulty. I made an appointment with an apple Genius & he asked me if I kept my phone in my pocket? I replied yes, it's almost always in my pocket. He then pulls out the SIM card key & proceeds to pull lint out of my dock connector! Works perfect now. Plug in your phone, is the plug flush? If not check it out, saved me $270 for a replacement iPhone 5. Good luck

My iPhone 4 just died. I charged it over night and it was still at 9%. I just tried to restart all settings and my phone died now it won't turn back on. Please help.

Thank you, thank you! This solved my problem. My son's iPhone 4 was not charging at all and completely dead. It took about 20 seconds after holding both buttons and the connect to iTunes finally appeared. I had previously done this prior to reading this thread, but I guess I didn't hold them down long enough. Had to restore the phone, but not a huge deal with everything being backed up on iCloud. Thanks again...

Try the good 'ol rice bag thing because it might be that your phone got wet or moisture inside. Get a small sealable plast bag that can fit around it. Put raw rice like minute rice to fill the bag. then what I do to avoid the charging hole of being filled with rice, I put my charger pulg in the hole then put the phone in the rice bag. that way no rice goes in the holes. you can even put your phone is those rubber cases that covers everything. So I plut my charger plug into my phone and even plugged my headphones to it then I put the phone in the bag. I zipped up the bag all the way to where my charger was sticking out. after like half an hour I tested my phone charging against the wall and it worked again.

Did you try the rice bag thing? read my instructions

sometimes you may just have to replace the charging port in the device... these guys are the fastest and very good to work with if you want to ship it to them for service www.rockhoptec.com
