Does it still hold a full charge and just show it incorrectly or does it actually only hold a charge to 51%?

I had that before it was one the programs i was using i forgot which one tho.
Try rebooting or restoring if not ask for a replacement

ive already restored it. and it just charges for about 2 mins then says fully charged no matter what percentage. like i said ive replaced the battery and still not working.

Hmm could be an issue with the dock connector, try using a different cord or outlet

Have you tried running down the battery completely, let the phone die, and then charge it full again?

**Ran4it2** · 03-11-2010, 12:49 AM

alright guys. i fixed it.
i replaced battery and still did the same thing. so i took it back apart and cleaned the contact on battery and on motherboard with alcohol. put it back togetther and IT WORKED! so im guessing it wasnt a battery issue to begin with. most likely just dirty contacts

Congrats, kudos for having a pair and opening up your iphone, usually you have to convince people :P

**Ran4it2** · 03-11-2010, 08:51 PM

hahah i always try and fix everything when it breaks. so its nothing knew. its mostly getting over the fact that your taking apart your precious iphone apart.

**Frostbite** · 03-11-2010, 09:09 PM

Ya I myself have no problem with it it's just annoying to make others face their fears lol

**Ran4it2** · 03-12-2010, 05:39 PM

ya i know what you mean.

**Effenpig!** · 03-12-2010, 06:44 PM

Now my phone is doing this. It will say like 54 or 85 percent, but show that it is dully charged. It only happens once in a while though.

**Ran4it2** · 03-12-2010, 08:37 PM

i suggest cleaning the contacts if that doesnt help try a new battery

**derrickb16** · 03-12-2010, 08:37 PM

buy a oem charger with oem cable

**Ran4it2** · 03-13-2010, 06:39 PM

thats what i have but it still got messed up so why does it matter?

**Effenpig!** · 03-13-2010, 06:42 PM

I know it's not the contact points in my phone, I justed cleaned and checked everythink about 3 weeks ago.

**Brandonii** · 03-13-2010, 07:18 PM

I doesn't matter when you last cleaned them, 3 weeks is a long time to collect dust and whatnot.

**derrickb16** · 03-13-2010, 08:12 PM

dude your charger may have a shortage and that's what maybe causing the problem how do i know this Proof: I had the same problem

**Effenpig!** · 03-13-2010, 09:56 PM

Brandoni- That makes no sense whatsoever. Are you saying an iPhone needs torn apart and cleaned more often than every 3 weeks?

Derrick- my charger may have a shortage? A shortage of what? Is it possible that both my chargers, my home and work computers USB, and my girlfriends charger also have this "shortage"?

**Frostbite** · 03-14-2010, 10:24 AM

^ I think he means the charger on the ipod, and he could be right about that, although shortage is not the right word.
