My iPHone 4S won't charge past 20%

My iPhone will not charge past 20%, and also I have it on charge, while using it and the battery drops rapidly instead of increasing? I did take a look at the apple forums, but nothing there really helped, so Any help would be much appreciated.

Take it to your nearest apple store, might be hardware fault.

Evidently, your battery has gone nuts. Yoyo should show your phone at three Apple store, for a battery replacement, and a complete hardware checkup.

I would make an appt at the apple store. If your contract is up, then I would upgrade to a newer version by trading it in. They now take trade-ins and you can get a new contract, so it may be just like getting a cheap upgrade. Thats better then putting money into fixing an older version.

Sounds like your battery has gone buy a new and get it fitted. Is your charger an official apple one if not that may be the fault.

There's something wrong with your phone so your going to have to get it fixed.

  • My iPhone won't charge past 5 MY iPhone 4s was fine, until tonight, mid-charge I noticed that it wasn't charging. I at first thought it was the Apple Charging chord, but when I tried a perfectly new one, it didn't work also. I'm trying to charge it using my computer, but it once again not charging. I need to know if my iPhone is damage in any way, and if so; what actions can I take in fixing my iPhone.
  • My iphone 4 is locked out for 42 years and it won't charge past 4%? My phone is disabled for 42 years… And it will only charge to 4% then cut out as if the charger isn't in, SOME ONE Please Help ME!
  • IPhone won't charge past 3%? Yesterday evening my iphone suddenly started constantly restarting every couple of minutes, it didn't just turn off though, it kinda just lost power and the screen faded to black then it would come back on. It eventually randomly stopped doing this but now will not charge past 3%, it has been on charge all night and is still stuck on 3%, any idea on how I can fix this?
  • IPhone won't charge past 1%? I had full charge this morning and then when I next looked it was at 50% and then 1%. I know iPhone batteries are bad but this? Anyway I put my phone on to charge but this wasn't working so I turned it off and tried to turn it back on but it won't turn on. If the phone thinks it's only 1% full it won't turn on. Help! I have had the phone for less than a year?
