anyone know? I've had problems charging the phone in general but i just picked out a load of dust and muck from inside the charger slot. hoping that might do the trick, but my phones dead and i don't know whether its charging or not. anyone help me?
iPhone 5, iOS 8.1
Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall adapter, then reset it by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing appears after 30 seconds of holding either the battery is not charging, it's dead, or the phone has a hardware problem.
If you see anything other than an Apple logo follow the instructions on the screen.

Did it have a lightning bolt icon in the picture with the battery? If so, then yes.
iPhone 5S.
I have noticed the exact opposite behaviour. When the lightening bolt is visible (dead phone charging use case), and you see a battery shape getting charged then the iPhone is NOT charging.
It means (I could be totally wrong; am sharing my exp.) that the phone is begging to be plugged in.
Whereas if you only see the battery shape (lying on its side with the + pointing rightwards) with 2-3 red "filling" type of sticks sort of fluctuating, THEN the dead battery is charging.
however it has just popped up with the Apple Logo! i think its charging. you two have just saved me £200 and made my day. thanks guys!
My phone dies a lot and how do i know its charging will its off all i see is this what should i do?
Hi mate thanks for that help, after i held it for thirty seconds, a battery symbol appeared with a very slight bit of red battery inside of it, does that mean its charging? really appreciate your help.
I have a lighting bolt but it’s died I think it’s because I cracked my phone
it didn't unfortunately, does that mean its not charging? 😟
That's good, I'd say that's a definite sign it's charging!
how do i know my phone is charging when it is dead?
