IPhone :: 4 Will Not Charge - It Connects, But Then Disconnects
Jun 25, 2012
iPhone 4 8gb/White. Purchased November 2011, AT&T.Plug in the 30-pin connector, and USB to PC: it will chirp, but then stop. This same PC/USB connector supports 2 other iPods (4th gen) and a iPhone 4S (granted, not all are plugged in together, but one at a time!), and the White iPhone 4 is the only one with the issue. Tried on another PC, USB plugged directly in, no hubs, no extensions, again, a cable that is tried and true and works on other iOS devices. SAME problem. Chirp-on, then disconnect after 1 second. Does this repeatedly 3 or 4 times in a row, then gives up for a while.
Tried with straight USB AC power cube - same result. Tried a different USB AC power cube - same result. I have tried to power the phone off and charge it with the power off, but when the port wakes back up, it turns the phone back on. I managed to keep enough charge in the phone to update it from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. Also did a "reset all settings" - and the problem persists.
I have NOT yet done an erase all settings (is it necessary?) or restore, but mostly because the port won't stay connected long enough to do so. This phone has NO liquid sensors tripped, does not have a lot of use on it, only has 17 total hours usage on cellular usage. I have an appointment at the Apple store tomorrow. Is there something I should try in the meantime?
As of this morning, everytime I connect my phone to my computer it rapidly connects and disconnects. After searching the web far and wide I've only come up with dead ends. Before today it worked fine, I don't think it's the cord because it works when i tried it with another computer and works when I charge my phone with the wall charger (which I'm forced to do now). Error messages have popped up like 0xE8000001 and 0XE8000065.
I tried connecting my Xperia Mini ST15i phone to our house's wifi connection. It will connect but after a few seconds it will disconnect then reconnect again.
I just upgrades from a Curve 8330 to the Storm 2 9550. I paired it with my car and it constantly connects then dis connects with the factory hands free. This makes it difficult to answer calls and I drop calls in the middle. The curve worked fine with my car so it's not the car.
When i turn on wi-fi i am using the internet from the Wi-Fi. But when I turn off the Wi-Fi,reconnects me automatically to the internet and turns off on second or third try.
My x10 mini , updated to 2.1 version, connects to a nearby wifi accesspoint, remains connected for a few seconds, then discconnects and interrupts web browser, gtalk and any other network application. It reconnects the network automatically after a short while. Other wifi phones and PCs use this access point with no problems. I've checked my phone in an airport, a coffeshop and two university networks and came up with the same issue
My MHL works on my Xperia, but for some reason it disconnects and connects every few minutes, but when I enable Airplane mode it works fine and smooth, but I want to use WiFi and watch Netflix .....
My daughter (who lives in another town) and I just switched from Samsung Mesmerize to Electrify phones. We both have D-Link DIR-655 routers in our homes. Although we had no problem using wifi with our old phones, the Electrify searches, connects and then immediately disconnects. I've spent hours checking out the router software as the admin, checking on line to see if others have reported this and I've tried every combination of options on the Electrify. We're both running Win7 and both use our routers successfully on other wireless devices in our homes.
I read one discussion that was discussing the problem of the bt EF isconnecting/connecting when a call ended. The problem I am experiencing is the same, except my EF is doing this during calls. Any idea what can be done to resolve this?
I know there are lots of threads about the iphone 4 charging issues, but I haven't seen any like this. My iPhone doesn't charge, it shows that it's coneccted, but instead of the lightening bolt it shows the plug in. That is what it shows. I've tried restoring it, backing up, restoring as a new iphone, changing chargers, even batteries. Nothing has worked.
My iPhone 4S didn't have any problems with connecting to the Wi-Fi at home. However, recently, even when I have the Wi-Fi on and the Wi-Fi icon appears, the Wi-Fi will suddenly disconnect while I'm browsing. I've reset my phone, but nothing's changed.
So I've checked and double-checked this. When connected via wireless N to my dual-band Time Capsule (2nd gen), after maybe 5-10 minutes of Face Time, the "call" drops, and I get an error that I have no wifi connection! A second later, the wi-fi connects (the 3G symbol switches to a wifi symbol).I have NO issues running Face Time over just wireless G connected to my Time Capsule.What's going on here? Has anyone else experienced this?
My Iphone 3Gs disconnects during outgoing calls very regularly when reception is fine. Message on phone is Call Failed. Is there a simple solution for this this or does it require specialist Apple fix
iphone 5 ios 7.1.2 bluetooth disconnects from headset when receiving or making a call. Happens on multiple headsets. Tried turning bluetooth off and on, re pairing, phone reset with no improvement. Any way to revert to previous ios version?
I used up my data plan very quickly in the last 2 days because the iPhone would not stay connected to Wi-Fi when I was streaming music form SkyFM through my new docked speakers. I had read that the iPhone was supposed to keep its Wi-Fi connection when plugged in but this does not appear to be true. The phone is a 3GS running iOS 5.1 (regretably) which by the way has slowed the phone to a crawl even worse than iOS 4 had.
My iphone 5 detects wifi only when near to the router but is not detected if I move a few steps. My brother's iphone 5S and my dad's 5 are working fine with same router. They are able to access it upto 30 feet but i cant even extend it more than 10 feet.
I can connect to my home wifi fine and it has great signal but the phone keeps disconnecting when it sleeps and never reconnects. The wifi network has a password and everytime it makes me enter it. is there away it can remember this password so that it automatically connects? and is there a way to stop it disconnecting maybe an app?
My iphone doesn't stay connected to my home wifi. Anywhere else it stays connected no problem but it never seems to work at home. It's always got a spinning wheel infront of the network. I've tried to 'forget' the network and re-sign up but it has not helped.
I have iPhone 5 and all other members on plan have iPhone4. I still cannot connect to FaceTime with anyone except my iTouch (under a different Apple ID) and have done ALL of the updates, trouble shooting, and followed every step to anything related to FaceTime the Apple Community suggested. I am at a loss as to what the problem could be...it says it is connecting but it never does and I have to end the call to get it to stop. They all can connect and FaceTime to each other but not to me or from me. I am running the latest iOS system, latest update on all Apps, checked restrictions, push notifications, you name it.
I know this has been working before, and I really need to connect my iPad via Bluetooth to my iPhone so that I can then use the Wireless via my iPhone. Unfortunately, every time I connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth the WiFi on the iPhone disconnects.
I am able to connect to my wifi and it shows with both a check mark and the wireless bars in the top right of my phone that I am connected to wifi but when I try to refresh apps using the internet or pull up the internet browser it says I have no internet connection. I have a tablet the connects to the same network with out any problems and has full internet access so it's something with my phone. I have tried forgetting the network and reconnecting along with resetting my network settings. nothing seems to be working.
I'm running iOS5.1 on my iPhone 4. about 10 days ago (before I got the iOS update), my iPhone stopped connecting to my home network. It's able to detect it and the signal is strong but it won't connect. I'm able to connect to Wifi everywhere else (at the library, my friend's house..etc). I've tried rebooting a couple of times, renewing the lease, reseting network settings, forgetting the network and reconnecting to it. Nothing seems to work so far! I've also tired restarting my router..
...(Time Capsule i.e.). It does not connect to the allocated Airport Express Stations in my house (3G connectivity is just fine). No such problems with my new iPad and Macbook as the do connect to the nearest Airport Express or Timecapsule..
My Wifi Base is a TimeCapsule and I have 2 allocated Airport Express stations to extend the range within the house...
HI my 4 S doesn't take the charge any longer, and sometimes when I turn it off and plug it, it takes a little bit of charge but doesn't hold it long, and the phone get super hot. What should I do to fix that problem, I have donwload all the last version and the phone is only a few months old.
