IPhone 4 plugged in but not charging, shows plug symbol instead of lightning bolt?
I just dropped my iPhone 4 on the ground while it was in a bumper case not 30 minutes ago. After I picked it up, it was rebooting itself on its own. After it turned back on I noticed my battery had dropped from maybe around the 50-60% range (I don't exactly remember) to 7%. I freaked out and ran to plug it in. As I plug it in, it made the charging chirp like normal but did not show the lightning bolt symbol, rather the plug symbol as if it were fully charged. I quickly shut it off, took the back off, and took the battery out and reconnected it; I turned it on and the battery showed 9% after that (wtf?). I had it plugged into the wall where it had the plug icon and now have it plugged into my macbook where it still shows the same symbol. I'd say about 3-4 months ago, my phone did this same thing with not charging but without having dropped it; I had it repaired and they told me it was an issue with the connector which I paid to have fixed and it was fine after that. I'm not sure what to do now, please help! Its an AT&T 32gb iPhone 4. The version software says 6.1.3 (10B329) which I'm assuming is the latest, I always update to whatever is newest. What do I need to do? Will my battery drain while it is plugged in with the plug symbol? Please help!
Added (1). Also, it is not under warranty. I bought it off of someone after I ruined a blackberry and needed a new phone in the middle of my contract so an apple store would do me no help unless I wanted to pay $400.
Take it your nearest Apple store.
- Why doesn't my iPhone show the 4G symbol but it shows the LTE symbol? I have Verizon as a carrier, and I just aksed this question but didn't ask it right. YES I HAVE 4G LTE. I've had the phone for 2 months and have been many places with it. It only shows the circle, 3G, and the LTE symbol, but not 4G or the Edge symbol. If anyone knows why, please let me know.
