Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.


  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.


Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.

Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

if this doesn't help, contact Apple and ask for help.

It may be that you have some dirt or something in the charging port, this happened to me, would only charge with the cable at a certain angle or would vibrate because it would keep charging and stoppoing again. Take it in to you nearest Apple Store and ask if they can clean the port out and see if that works.


I've had this issue a few times with iPhone 5 and this has always fixed it.
