Hello, I have a iPhone 4s 16gb. It has a weird problem when you go to charge it up it does not charge when turned on but does when turned off. Does anyone know what the problem could be ? Thanks

If it shows the charging indicator in the corner while the phone is on but the percentage doesn't go up then it's the battery going bad.

If you get no indicator at all while the phone is on then it could be either the charging port or the battery.

My wife's phone has the same issue. From what I have found reading around the interwebs, it as some sort of blown fuse on board. Plugging into a cheapo charger is what I think caused the issue. If anyone finds a place that fixes these, post back here.



Hope that helps.
I just Googled it.

I don't understand it either. I just know putting a new battery in it should fix the issue.

Edit:
Well, if I had to guess, the problem isn't so much current going into the battery it's the battery's ability to read how much a charge it has.

Maybe iOS glitches and you can't see a charging icon.
Go ahead and make a clean backup and restore your phone.
If that doesn't work try a new cord, or just simply contact apple.
