Chosen Solution

I’ve almost had my iPhone for a year now and it’s still in really good shape. I’ve never cracked the screen or gotten it wet or droppe it recently. But, anywas, it won’t charge when its turned on so it only charges while its turned off. It charges really slow and I don’t know why. I bought a new usb cord to charge it with (that wasn’t the problem), the outlet was fine, and I even tried restarting it with the home and lock button and it didn’t work. I can’t really afford to take it in so does anyone know what’s wrong with it? And how much it would cost to fix it?

Solution Iphone 4 batter slow charge SOLUTION Just go to settings > reset > ‘reset all settings’ This is the solution to get the Iphone back to normal (quick) charging!! 100% worked for me after anoying 2 weeks of figuring out WHY it charged sooo slow! You won’t lose data/contacts. Only WiFi passwords and some basic settings, but this is not a big deal compare to the slow charge problem! Success!!

well if you spit into the charging port it will fix it

Strange one that I would start with replacing the dock the part is really cheap to buy have a go at it it’s not a hard repair just take you time there’s no rush

I had the same problem but if your willing to do anything to get it to work… Here’s what I did I’m 10 and a girl so I took a little like Cotten swab or a tooth pick and see if the phone charger port was clogged didn’t work so I got the charger and this is nasty I sucked it till I felt something then I charged my iPhone 4 while it was powered on !! :) I really hope this helped

I found a fix for two of my iPhone 4s just took a cap full of Barton’s vodka dipped a q-tip in then rubbed it on the end of the charger and charger port. Worked for me.

This worked for me like twice then my phone quit working again first unplug your charger from the wall then unlock your phone then put the charger into your phone then plug the charger back into the wall.

Iphone 4 when mobile is on it well not charged when mobile is off it well charged

I found that when I get an old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and dip the toothbrush in the alcohol, then clean the charging port out , my phone charged with no problem . Hope I helped

Why wont my iphone 4c charge while its on

I have the same problem! Did you solve yours??

If you need your phone on so you do not miss a call while it is charging then you might want to make sure any blue-tooth is off and Wireless network is also off. The less amount of power expended by your phone the faster it will charge.

my iphone has been charging while it’s off but when i turn it on it goes to 3% then won’t charges and dies

My 6s is doing the same thing when its powered off it charges buh when on it doesnt so i took it to a repair shop and they told me its something doing with the power component and i should take it to apple buh the fix is gonna cost around $250

Just spit in the Charging pin . shake it take out and hopefully it will work It worked for me

I think the most outstanding solution is to buy a new docking cable to have this fixed.

Thank you, it worked perfect:)
