iPhone not charging ? – Finally solved

Couple of days ago a strange thing happened to me. My iPhone battery was depleting so i put it on charging and slept. When i woke up i was surprised to see that the iPhone was dead and the screen was blank even though the charger was connected to my macbook usb port properly but the iPhone not charging at all.

Maybe it was the iphone not charging properly due to charger problem or maybe iphone battery issue, or maybe some other issue caused my iPhone to stop charging.  Anyway i tried moving it away and put it on charging with the wall iphone not chargingsocket charger. It showed the battery cell with small red line and a power sign of charging but it remained there for hours and hours and no change in the battery charging status. Now that was creepy! So at first i started looking for various solutions online via Google but was not successful in finding any solution although some people said that some solutions worked for them.

Finally i solved it ! Yay! today! Infact right now my charger is charging up successfully while i am writing this article! On this page i will enlist some of the ways how you can get out of this iphone not charging situation. The way i solved it and the ways that worked for other people too just in case if your problem and cause was different.

If your iPhone is not charging and you want to solve it (iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4), follow these troubleshooting steps. Hopefully your problem will be solved (starting from simple non costly steps and so on).

iPhone not charging – How to fix

1. Restart your iPhone if not charging

The simplest step and fixes the iphone not charging issue for most of the people.

The steps are:

  • plug in the charger
  • press home and power button for few seconds until it restarts

It might solve the issue in most cases. (didn’t work for me though!)

2. Clean your iphone charging port and retry

If the above step don’t solve your problem of iphone being dead and not charging, now it’s time to try out various ways of charging. But before that clean your charger as:

  • Blow (with air from your mouth) gently the charger wires both end.
  • Blow and clean the iPhone charger socket.
  • Blow the computer / laptop’s usb port
  • Blow clean the wall charger usb slot

Once you have cleaned your iPhone charger and all slot ends do this and check for charging:

  • Connect the iPhone via usb charger wire to your macbook / laptop / usual computer (try both usb ports)
  • If the above don’t work, connect the wall socket charger
  • Try connecting to another computer or laptop via usb port.

Also try turning off the iPhone and then charging (it helps in most cases – provided that the charger is not defected)

3. Cross test iPhone

If none of the above ways work, then finally try using your currrent charger and iPhone charger wire with some other iPhone (any friends iPhone or at the shop) to confirm that the problem is with the charger and not the iPhone.

4. Change / remove sim from your iphone

Try charging after removing the sim card or replacing it with another sim card (of some other network preferably) and see if it solves the issue.

5. Charger and charging wire of iphone

If you can’t get another iPhone to test your charger, then another alternate could be trying a new charger wire before buying a new iPhone battery or an iPhone itself!

This is how it will go:

  • Goto the shop to get a new charger, but before that, ask them to let you try it on your iPhone. You can ask them to let you use any in use charger first to confirm if the problem is with the charger wire and not the iPhone itself or its battery.
  • If you have or can try out, then find a car charger for iPhone 3G/3Gs (also works with 2G). This is the way that i tested and solved my iPhone not charging and only showing the battery cell when connected to charging. I put the the iPhone on charger with the car charger for iPhone and press home + power button which lead to full black screen from the previous battery and power sign. After some 10 minutes i pressed the power button and the Apple logo appeared! voila! :D
  • If you finally find out that the different charger is working for your iPhone, then definitely buy a nice charger and you are all good to go! (you can ask me if you need a new charger (simple or car charger for iPhone) in Pakistan (islamabad/rawalpindi specially). Can ship internationally too but might cost you abit more.

Update: One thing that i just noticed is that once the iPhone starts charging from other charger (car charger) now it also works fine with the previous supposed broken charger too! :)

You can also buy the charger from from amazon by clicking the image to the right.

6. Change the battery of iphone that’s not charging

If none of the above ways work for you, then one option is to change your iPhone battery. Please note that while doing this make sure that the person doing this is skilled in this job otherwise you will have to buy a whole new iPhone as in next step.

7. Buy a new iPhone

Self explanatory!

Hopefully your iPhone not charging and battery depleted error will be solved by these troubleshoot steps. This might not only work for iPhone ( 2G/3G and 3Gs ) but also Apple iPad and iPod.

Update: will also work for iphone 5 and iphone 6 / iphone 6 plus charger issues.

Tip: turning on iTunes while iPhone is connected sometimes gets the iPhone to start charging normally

        many time and said it is ok now (one thing the phone was without sim, does

        this matter ????)

        now i again for checking connected it to laptop via usb, at first it

        started charging but after few minutes or so, the display sign in battery

        “bolt” changed to “shoe” sign and phone wasn’t charging any more, but

        rather depleting battery…..

        i switched to wall charging, the same thing happened, first started

        charging with “bolt” sign in the battery in upper right corner then

        changed to “shoe” sign… :SS
        and phone not charging ofcourse it understand that phone is already chargd

        and jst plgd with electricity.

        i tried ur methods at sr no 1,2,3&4 (tried by shopkeeper) but didnt workd so far… pl help
        One thing more, i remember all this started after i configured the gprs settings from ufone service center…?????? also i mentioned above, shopkeeper tried different things without having sim in phone, could it be the sim issue ??

        pl help, would really appreciate ..Thanx

        Reply

          1. i live in lahore, after yesterday’s post, i took out sim and try to charge and u know what, it started charging and easily increased the percentage up to 70%, i plugged it off and went outside and then came back after 3 hrs and then start browsing and playing games, the battery amazingly performed well in this scenario and only dropped to 50% with about two or more hrs of misc use (as compared to using phone with sim in it was depleting battery like jet).
            now am gonna try to use some other sim and check wot happen or try to remove the gprs settings it guess !
            will post back the result.

  16. My iphone4 stopped taking the charge i havent dropped it or got it wet but when i plug it in it shows that its charging but never actually does. I have tried all of your suggestions on the website as well as plugging it in the comp and rebooting, trying it with itunes and many other options. I had no warning it just was working fine one day and gone the next. Any ideas?????

  17. Has anybody figured out what causes the problem of the iphone not charging suddenly? Mine has had the problem 3 times in the last couple of weeks. In my case it happens at night. The problem is that when I travel I use the phone’s alarm clock which of course doesn’t work when the battery is empty.

  21. Hey,
    Thanks. I panicked when my phone didn’t charge ,but googled for the issue and fortunately,landed on your site-tried step 1, the phone now works like a charm…

    What’s the theory behind step 1 ? Do you think i should take it to att ?

    Reply

  23. Thanks! step1 worked for me too,
    I suspect the battery was already fully charged but miss-reporting that it was at 10%, (lasted for ages at 10%)

    upon rebooting after step1, it shows battery as 100% full. and now all is well again.

    thanks again

    1. is it jailbroken / unlocked? or works without it?

      if you synced your iphone with itunes earlier, simply restoring it from itunes will fix it and you will get your data that was in it on last backup

      Reply

  26. Ok this is very weird followed these steps:

    ?plug in the charger
    ?do updown to the silent / mute button of your iPhone four times
    ?press home and power button for few seconds until it restarts
    It might solve the issue in some cases. (didn’t work for me though!)

    and it worked a treat, only confusing thing was that before I done the above steps my battery said it was empty after I had done the above powered the phone back up it had full life happy days and thanks for the info.

    4. Thanks Nabeel,
      my phone started working when I pressed the Home & Power button together for a while…… what a relief, for a while I thought I had a dead iPhone 4 on my hands.

  27. I think I have figured out what causes my iPhone to have charging problems. It is one of the cheap aftermarket chargers I bought on e-bay. Every time I use that charger the problem happens. I have to fiddle with the phone and have been able to revive it. That charger is in the waste basket now.

  28. I had the same as Richard…followed the steps and the iphone came on fully charged after it had reset.

    What causese the battery to be misreported?

  30. Thanks NABEEL your first step worked very well for me. I was pretty worried since the same thing was happening to me (iphone not charging) and i did updown to the silent / mute button of your iPhone four times and it did work :) thanks man.

    Reply

  31. For most people (those who had the first step work for them), all you really need to do is simply reboot the iPhone. As others have said, it’s simply the battery being misreported. Not sure what’s the cause for this. But always in troubleshooting, a restart if the device is always the best first suggestion.

  47. Hello, I have tried all options… what I am facing is:

    Initially my iphone was not gettting charged than I googled and found out that let the battery drained out completely and than charge. It worked. And my iphone was charged fully. After that it does not getting charged completely. some 20% remains always does not matter how long it is conneted to USB port. Moreover this charging works only for few calls. can say 3-4 calls each call 20-25 min. And than again goes off. Now I am not getting what I should do.

    Reply

  48. Hey, I’ve tried every step with exception to changing out batteries. At first just restarting the Iphone worked perfectly, I left it to charge for a couple hours and upon return I noticed it was dead again.

    At this point the Iphone would not restart, that’s when I tried the mute up and down restart which did work. I left it charging again for another 2 hours only to find it dead again. It’s still showing the 10% flash, however when I attempt to restart it nothing happens.

    I read some of the comments and noticed someone mentioning that it may be caused by cheap aftermarket Chargers. This problem started today after plugging it into a ….cheap aftermarket charger off ebay.

    Is it possible my battery is fried from the incorrect voltage coming from the charger? I’m attempting to restart the phone however nothing is working, all I get is the 10% battery flash.

  52. Thanks for the tips. Actually, This happens with my CAR CHARGER and not the wall socket. LOL.

    In my case, the indicator kept blinking back and forth from the full (plug) icon to the charging (lightning bolt) icon to the half-battery icon, beeping it off. Then I’d get the “not comparable with this charging device” message.

    The first time it fixed it, I powered it all the way off and it worked. This time it didn’t work, so I held the home and off button, yadda yadda. This worked. What I really think does the trick is leaving it off several minutes before turning it back on. This was the common denominator. Well see next time.

    Thanx for he tips and research.

  100. Hey thanks for sharing those solutions. I was actually serching the web for another question and came accross this one. I was wondering if you know whether ipod touches and iPhones even work in Pakistan. Obviously they’ll work if they can recharge so I want to know if the wall or the computer charger I have will work there or will I have to buy one that works and is suitable in Pakistan? I am also taking my Laptop as well so if any of the two chargers (wall/ computer) that I have work, that would be great. Please reply asap because I live in Canada and will be visiting Pakistan at the end of April.

  107. My i5 would not totally accept the cord tip into the charging port, so it could not charge. Something was preventing tip going in. Took to local Apple guys and they removed a roll of built up lint ! ! I could not believe the size of the lint. I’ve had i5 since nov 2012, and I carry it in my jeans pocket, which is the source of the lint. This happened the next day after I landed in Germany for a vacation. Simple problem solved.

  108. At first I tried to change iPhone chargers, I tried using it in the car, on different wall outlets, with different cords, and through a computer. I tried cleaning out my iPhone by blowing through the charger connector and that didn’t work. But then I went and used a needle to gently probe the inside and got a tiny dust bunny out.. After that my iPhone started charging just fine :) Thanks for making me have this idea!

  112. my iphone 5s starts and stops charging simultaneously when connected to my laptop. but it does fine with the charger connected to power supply. whats the possible issue.

    1. The problem is probably with the laptop usb port or the charger usb port itself, maybe it’s lose.

      Did you try connecting your iphone 5s with any other laptop and see if it gives the same issue?
