Reasons for "Charging is not supported with this accessory" (Iphone)

Hello Guys,

Today i won't be giving a guide  but i will be giving reasons for a problem which most people have encountered in their iphones.  A few months back i posted a solution which worked for me for sometime but again i encountered the problem.
The error is a popup message which gets popped up when connected to the charging cable, the message is "Charging is not supported with this accessory". 
This problem seems to be faced by many people and i have seen that most of the internet answers doesn't give any proper reason for this error.

The error message is as follows :-









I thought of listing down the possible causes for this error message to occur.

Reason 1: 
You might have dust stocked inside your charging port, trying cleaning it with a brush.

Reason 2:
You might have a damaged pin in your charging port, if there is please change your charging port.

Reason 3:
You might have a bad charging cable , try using another charging cable.

Reason 4:
Your charging port might have water damage / humidity. Check your charging port for rust and check whether the water indicator is normal. If you don't know where the indicator positions are , please have a look at  the guide which i posted a few months back. (Click here to go to the guide)

Reason 5:
-This is the worst problem , your battery might be leaking / if you are lucky it might just be a bad battery.
Unfortunately for me , my battery had a leak ,I was getting the message and i did all the steps which i mentioned in the above reasons and yet it didn't get fixed.
-I then removed the phone to check the condition of the battery and to my amazement , the phone battery was leaking.  It was a bit late it has already damaged some transistors as well and that's why it was giving me the message saying"Charging is not supported with this accessory".
-I had to do a re-soldering and fix the bad transistors (my friend did the re-soldering) and i had to change my battery for good (It might have leaked again).
-Well the battery cost me around $30-$40 (original one) and now the phone seems to be working flawlessly.
So if you had done all the steps which i mentioned above and didn't get fixed please check your battery.


So guys i hope you guys found what the problem was , which caused your iphone to popup the message.
I further  advice, if you are on the 5th reason , please do act fast as it can damage you motherboard like it did to mine.


Thank you for reading this post and please do check out my guides.

Have a great day!

Fix "Charging is not Supported with this Acccessory" Error Iphone

Hello.

I have seen many people who had upgraded to ios 5 or ios 6 had encountered a charging problem. When the  usb cable had been plugged in to the charging port the iphone displays a message saying "Charging is not supported with this Accessory". Even i experienced this problem  after upgrading to IOS 6.

Well i got to say that this is really a problem in your phone and if you want to know what are the main reasons for this problem to occur, please have a look at my post which i have posted recently. (Click here to go to the post)

 I  managed to find out a solution which worked for me, so yea go ahead and try it you might get lucky as well.
So let's get started :-

Step 1-  Connect your iphone to itunes (make sure you have the latest itunes installed)

Step 2- If you are in IOS 5 i strongly recommend you to upgrade to IOS 6 if you are already on IOS 6 skip     this step

Step 3-  Do a restore to your Iphone simply by connecting your iphone to your pc/mac , then go to itunes and click restore.





Step 4- After the restore process is done, make sure you don't use any back up from your previous IOS meaning setup your iphone as a new iphone.


That's it now the charging problem should be solved . I did this to my iphone and it worked pretty well and this method is permanent.

Note:- 

Make sure you are connected to the internet when you are restoring

Please don't use any back ups after restoring

Even after the restoring if you still get the error, just remove the cable and plug it back to your iphone and it will solve the problem.

Thanks for reading! (make sure you read my other guides on Iphones)

Have a great day!!
