IPhone 4s won't charge with USB or plug in?
I recently got an iphone 4s, i got it 4 months ago and at first it would charge with no problem at all. Then about a week ago i would have to wiggle my charger into my phone for it to work and it would after about 15 mins of trying to wiggle it. But now it won't charge at all using a USB cord or a wall plug in charger.
But one day i used my friends iPhone/ipod car charger and it worked perfectly fine! No wiggling or trying to make it work! It just charged! I just don't know what is going on with my iPhone! You would think a phone that is worth 500$ wouldn't have these difficulties. So please any suggestions to what i should do please answer.
P.S my friend said " maybe your iphone 4s needs a higher amp charger for it to charge."
i don't really know what to do about that
Gee, I don't know! It sounds like the cable/cord!
Replace it! Take it I under warranty!
Your wall outlet is not going to be able to put out more power your friend might be talking about a higher watt charger but i do not think apple sells any different wattage versions of the iphone charger.
My guess is that either your charger cord or your phone's cord port have lint in them… If so try just blowing on both ends of the cord and into phone port and see if that helps.
I had some issues with the charger cord for my phone and it turned out (in my case) that the charger cord had some issues with its insulation and was shorting out. If your cord has a bunch in the rubber casing that might be your issue.
Hope this helps
- Where can I get a good Australian plug in for my iPhone USB cord? I'm going from the US to Australia, and all I need is something that can plug in to an Australian outlet without blowing up my phone. Where can I get one of these that will actually work, and won't cost me a ton? Links are appreciated!
- When setting up an Apple Id and password for an iphone 5s, do you need to plug in the USB to the computer and the phone? Do you hook up USB plug to phone and computer to sync it, or do you just create the Apple ID and password?
- USB not recognized Message when I plug iPhone in? I have the IPhone 5 and when I plug it into the laptop it beeps then there's a sign that pops up saying it is not recognized. When I plug my wireless mouse into the USB port it works perfectly fine. So I'm not sure what the problem is. I have tried to re install iTunes and it does nothing. So what should I do to try to fix it?
