IPhone :: IP 3GS / Battery Not Charging After Dropping In Swimming Pool
Aug 6, 2010
I have this big problem with my 3GS.about 2 months ago it fell into a swimming pool I let it sit on my kitchen table to dry out and have not touched it. So today I was just wondering if it was going to work, and I plugged it in and it actually started up! Everything works perfectly to my suprise except the battery will not charge. It says it has 15% battery, and wont charge anymore. If I remove the charger it immediately turns off? I still think there is life for my IPhone. Anybody have any suggestions? Does the battery need replaced?

When I plug in my fiances iPhone it shows that it is charging, the green battery shows up, the battery icon on the top of the screen has a little plug in it just like it's charging but the battery level keeps dropping.
I have already restarted the phone, I performed a basic reset and I just finished wiping and reseting the phone to factory settings.
(btw, this problem started showing up last night and she updated her iPhone to 5.1.1 two days ago.)

I have a jailbroken iPhone4, when i go to bed.. ill charge it, i turn my laptop off when i go to sleep unplug my iPhone which is now at 100%.. i wake up and my iPhone is on 75% or less.. wtf? I don't have winterboard installed.I have activator, bitesms, cyntact, emoji, five icon dock, iconclasm, fiveicondock, ifile, infinifolders, libdisplaystack, lib weather, make it mine, music controls, remove recents, retinawallpapers hd, sbsettings, snaptap, wifisync and 3g unrestrictor.
I am on 4.0.1, i tried to restore it using 4.0.1 firmware i downloaded and it says iPhone unable to restore due to firmware being for inappropriate build or something along those lines.I went for a day out the other week, got 5hrs 30 mins useage with music playback and some internet browsing on 3g, few txts and calls, that can't be right can it?

A few days ago I dropped my phone on the ground. Since then, my battery lasts no more than 2 hours tops. I suppose it would be a hardware issue, yeah? And regular Apple Care doesn't cover a drop, correct? (The glass is slightly cracked as well).

I have already read enough of this great forum post, I hope in the future to helpbeginners like me, one day we had to IOS (formerly had a Galaxy S2) and now we are more than comfortable with my 4s!I have the cell phone constantly charging, either in the Dock, when I go to bed, Through The cable in my university (when I'm in class or on the computer in the Library), this because the phone if consuming battery (I have the iOS 5.0.1) and hate running out of battery (no phone) when I'm away from home.Then the doubt (I've already searched in many forums) is whether this is detrimental tothe battery of the phone, or simply when the iPhone detects that is loaded, just stops receiving load and nothing happens:

My batter died completely last night so I plugged it in to charge. When I woke up the red empty batter icon did not change. I tried to reboot it and I tried to plug it in to the computer to itunes and nothing. What the hell is going on?

I have an Iphone 4S that needs to be recharged daily. I do not use email or pictures or music. I call people, businesses, etc.but not that many.
I text perhaps once a day. This does not seem to be enough action to cause battery to run low. What am I doing wrong?

My iPhone 4 is not charging. When I plug it, it makes the sound that it is plugged in and the battery indicator in the top right hand corner shows it's plugged in, but the battery life does not go up in percentage. I am running out of battery life as we speak.

Earlier today, my iPhone ran out of charge and died, I plugged her in and got the battery symbol with the lightning bolt.but it never progressed from absolute bottom red.It only boots to that symbol (the only variation is whether it's plugged in or not, if not it gives me the 'plug in' symbol). I have tried hard resets, I have tried restoring the firmware, redownloading the firmware, changing usb ports, rebooting computers etc. When attempting a restore, it gets to the apple logo (preparing iphone for restore) but then fails. ONCE it got to the progress bar and failed.Any ideas? I am not and never have been jailbroken on this device. I don't want to take it back as it has data that I want on it.
Edit: I've tried leaving it on charge for hours on end.
Edit 2: Just got code 13. Trying another cable now. let's hope for the best (but i've tried this before)
Edit 3: Got error 1601. I am removing mobile device support and itunes. redownloading now.

iPhone 4S won't connect to any charger or computer to charge or connect. The battery is now flat and I really need to get some photos from the phone that are not backed up, is there any way I can access it like a USB thumb drive to copy the photos.

When I try and connect the iPone to the charger it has difficulty making a proper connection and will actually drain the battery instead of charging it up. Do I need to replace the battery?

Just yesterday when I plugged my phone into the ac adapter to charge after a while I noticed the phone was really warm, hot even, and it wasn't charging as quickly as it usually does. This morning I realized that my phone was at 70% when i had fully charged it last night and didn't really use it until that point. Around 10-15 mins later my battery life was at 60% and kept dropping around the same time to 50%. I had to keep plugging my phone in just to have a decent amount of battery life. The phone still feels hot when I have it plugged in and it doesn't seem to be charging as quickly as it should.
