IPhone not charging, draining fast
I have an iPhone 4s, and it is currently a plethora of problems! First, the battery is draining fast! I can't be doing anything and it will go from 53 to 47 in 5 minutes or less! Next, it is not taking any sort of charge! I tried to charge it with three different cables and it is not taking any of them! What is going on?! Do I need a new battery?
Well. There could be a few problems. First for the battery issue, it could be that your battery is leaking/your phone is doing too many things at once. Try shutting off your phone and restarting it. If that doesn't work, your battery is most likely broken. You will have to take it to professionals to fix the battery. For the charging issue, there are tons of possible reasons. It could be your power outlet is broken, your battery is broken or your charging port is broken. To replace the charging port/battery you have to take it to a professional. It will run you about $75-100 to get the battery replaced.
To slow the drain, turn off any apps your not using. Also, at certain percentages the battery will drain and charge at different speeds. If mine drops to dead, it takes a while to get up to 5%. Then it speeds up to about 45% in a few minutes, slows a bit til around 75%, speeds up again around 80% & takes forever to get to 100%. And, although I've read it's bad to "overcharge" the battery, mine will stay at 100% half the day before starting to drop. I've been doing this with my 4s since I got it & the battery still performs amazingly well. If it's close to upgrade time for you, the battery in the 5c is really long-lasting. Took mine out today & forgot to turn off Wi-Fi (searching for Wi-Fi drains the battery super-fast). When I got home 5 hrs later my battery was still at 100%!
Try a restore with iTunes and set it up as a new iPhone?
Or ifthat doesn't work then you will need a battery replacement
