Problem with IPhone 4S charging?

It's not the charger or cord

It's not the charger or cord

They work on other devices

The battery drained, so I charged it and it showed the red battery sign and eventually turned on. However, it stays at 1% and stops charging. The charging symbol isn't there, the battery symbol doesn't turn green. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and still wasn't charging. Because it's at 1%, it dies.

Could it be the battery? Or something with iOS 7? (I was having problems with iMessage so that's why I thought something was wrong)
Would a restore help?

Once again, it's not the charger or the cord, so don't say "get a new cord."

Take it to your service provider. Or better yet, to Apple. Even if someone here could tell you what the problem is, you'd still have to take it somewhere to get it fixed.

Turn the phone completely off. Wait at least one minute and see if that helps. I believe its called a hard re-set. Hope this helps!

  • My usb cable for iPhone seems to have problem with charging? My usb cable for iPhone seems to have problem with charging - either by charger or via usb port it does not work.

There's even little lightning showed on battery icon, but it does not charge at all - tonight I put plugged it in with 33% of battery and when I came back it was totally dead…
  • My IPhone 5 isn't charging when I plug it in but the charging 'symbol' comes up? I've only had my phone for a few weeks- since Christmas, and today it's been playing up, it keeps turning on and off then when my phone is on the screen at the bottom flickers!
