iPhone 5 not charging – Strange problem

    Hi all,

    I have a strange one.

    The other night I went and charged my phone overnight, I plugged it in and it binged and had the charge sign at the top right of the phone. I awoke the next morning and it noticed the battery was down to 2% but still had the charge icon on top. I tried other plug heads and still no luck, it registered the charge alright but battery percentage would not go up. Turned it on and off etc and still no joy.

    As I had to go to work I took my cable and plugged it in to my computer and it charged no problem. I then tried this again on my laptop and again no problem it fully charged.

    Any ideas or similar experiences would be great to hear.

    Thanks

    Odd alright. Sounds like the plug is faulty even if you tried a few other ones...

    I plugged it into other plug sockets around the house and no joy.

    Very strange indeed!

    Is the phone still under warranty?

    Not sure. It was purchased April 2013 from the USA.

    Well if it was bought in the USA I doubt they will look at it over here. I would say that the lead is somehow faulty tho and a new one would work.

    Take a needle to the charging port and clean out all the fluff.

    You say you tried other plug heads, but did you try a different cable? If it's charging using your PC then it suggests it's a problem with the equipment being used to charge it. Also have you tried a hard reset (hold home and lock buttons until the Apple logo appears)?

    Hi PCros,

    Did this happen only once last night?

    Have you tried turning off the iPhone and back on again, and seeing does this work?

    iOs seems to have a bug in it, that sometimes stops charging when it's not entirely "happy".

    After that try wiggling around, and putting it in half way ( mature people please ) does it bing with the sound or vibrate to show that it is registering the cable but not charging?
