      Yeah, know the 30-pin was referenced and different.

      Same iOS update, similar programmatic logic. Have seen people use very frayed and unsafe looking cables on their iPhone 4/4s. Imagine has a clever programmer who could eek such detection for the older 30-pin connector cable....which could have many false positive results. Would be weird no message or other warning.

      Am sure it'll get hashed & rehashed on die-hard forums, until a truth comes out.

        I've tried different cables and adapters, all genuine Apple, and all had the same result. Tonight when I plugged my phone in after it died, it did not turn on by itself, so I'm taking that as a positive sign.

          A 4S is a pretty old phone. Perhaps the battery finally gave out?

            It was software. There is a known bug that came out recently that does this. No announced fix yet, though.

              My phone still only charges while it's powered off. Not ideal, but at least it's charging.

                @Dominica only for a few more months. Just keep reminding yourself.

                  It only has to last until my contract is up on June 14th.

                      I doubt that she can hold out long enough.

                        I, on the other hand, will be ready for my update right at that time!
