Why is my iPhone not charging? - 1

I have an iPhone 4 and it just recently stopped charging. I know it's not the usb cord because it will charge my ipod.

The weird thing is if my iPhone dies completely it will charge to up like 4% and just stopped. I have gotten up to 13% but it gets down to like 4% in like 5 minutes.

Within 4 hours today, it went from 100% to 22%.

Could is be iOS7 messing it up and not charging or maybe the phone itself? I don't think it's the phone, like the port because it was fine when I went to bed. I just woke up and it was doing this. Also I've had iOS7 for a couple days and no problems so far except for today. Even the battery drain hasn't been as bad…

Also it will on occasion recognize the charger. I can turn the phone off & plug it in and the little apple screen come up! But it's not recognizing the phone being plugged into the laptop when I do so.

I just know the little battery symbol in the corner is showing it's not charging.

Added (1). But it was working fine yesterday with ZERO problems. I know others with iPhones who have been complaining of the same exact problem as well ever since the new update.

It's probably a worn out battery. Lots of phone stores can replace them for maybe $30-$40.

  • 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! I have never dropped this phone or it hasn't been water damaged! I resorted my phone by pressing the lock and home screen and put it on charge, my charge percentage isn't going up it keeps decreasing, even though it says that my phone is on charge, what should I do?
