Help/Support iPhone dies unless there's charge..

Joka · January 14, 2017

TL;DR - My iPhone will literally die unless there's charge going to it. Once the charger's disconnected from the phone, the phone will die.

(Just gonna add this but I remember knocking it off a college table (less than a metre high) and ever since then, it's been like this. May/may not be the problem, I have no idea.)

Once I'm charging the iPhone, it will begin to show the boot logo but in a loop over and over (till about 5-10 minutes have passed) then I can access the phone.

The charging icon at the top-right will ALWAYS show '1%' and shows it's charging. Rarely, I've seen it go up to '2%' but that's as far as it goes. Leaving it on overnight to charge or leaving it to charge for an hour won't do anything.

I want to fix it but I don't know what's actually the problem. People are giving me different opinions such as the "battery may be on it's last legs" or "the connector to the charging port may have come undone..".

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT:

Since people think it's due to download a malicious tweak, I doubt it is.

I dropped the phone about a meter high in my college class & since then it's been unable to charge properly...

How old is your phone...?

How old is your phone...?

It's the iPhone 6; had it for a year.

if the iphone isn't old and you do not use the device while charging then the charger is probably damaged? Have you tried to use another charger?

I actually don't know the problem, just throwing some ideas. Hopefully one of them will help you.

Not the charger I've tried three; the official one, a cheap one and a Polaroid one.

Have you tried opening it?

No

Have you tried opening it?

Nope gonna do that soon though as soon this kit comes.

I'm gonna change the battery and unhook then rehook the Charging port connector.

If it's still the same, it's f**ked
