Re: iPhone does not charge
When you connect the cable, does the phone make a chirp sound? This usually indicates the connection. Does the battery percentage not increase at all, or does it increase and then drop off very quickly after disconnecting the cable? Original message: It is with a sinking feeling that I discovered my iPhone will not charge this evening. It will synch fine on my iMac but will not take a charge. I have tried 2 different cables, and tried the iMac, Windows laptop and Mains charger to no affect. The fact that data is transferring OK is strange. I suspect this is a visit to the Apple Store as it is only 6 weeks old. However has anybody got any bright ideas?

Re: iPhone does not charge
Hi David, It sounds as though the voltage detector switch for your iPhone is not working, This is what determines the speed of charging, which will vary according to your connected source (e.g., if you connect any iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to an external Apple charger, it will charge at the maximum rate permitted by that device). If I connect an iPod Nano or an iPhone to a 12 watt USB power adapter that comes with the latest iPad, the device immediately steps down to the appropriate rate for maximum charging. On the other hand, if I connect an iPad to the plug connector or iPhone charger, it's limited to 5 watts, and will take 2.5 times longer to charge. Most PC USB ports deliver 2.5 watts of power, so charging takes even longer. If you buy an external battery or case, the amperage may tell you how many times you can recharge your device, but the voltage and power of the rated connection tells you how long it will take. So, if you have a sync cable with a break, you may be able to sync and transfer data, but not charge, and this may be true for a number of third party cables. The only times I've heard of the device no longer charging is when there has been water damage to the connector port. Usually the problem is a bad cable. It sounds as though this is a faulty part in the hardware that should be replaced under warranty. Mike's questions are to the point here. HTH.

Re: iPhone does not charge
Hi David, It sounds more as though a reset of your phone would have taken care of the problem. This occasionally also works when people lose VoiceOver for obscure reasons, and I should have thought of this. You hold down the Home and power button together for about 15 seconds (longer than you would to just shut down the iPhone), until the Apple logo appears on the screen (if someone sighted is around). This has also fixed some people's battery standby problems. You may have also reset things with the power down sequence. Problems with a bad voltage sensor are pretty rare unless there's an obvious source of problems -- like dropping the iPhone into water. Even then, it often survives. HTH.

This time it started charging on exactly the same cable on the same power source that it had previously refused to charge on. So why it should now decide to charge when previously it was not is mystifying. I hope that this is not an intermittent fault.
