All that just to tell us your phone isn't charging anymore? LOL! Are you using an OEM charger and on house current as apposed to computer USB?

I've try'd rebooting the phone it goes to the slide to power off screen than goes black. I release the buttons and it goes to the red line and lightning bolt for charging then turns on in about a minute.. still no charging. am I doing this right?

You're trying to do a hard reset? Hold the power button and the home button down at the same time. Disregard the power off slider and wait for the apple logo. Then release both buttons. But, really, try an OEM charger.

I try'd the hard reset as you described, I held it past the swipe bar the screen went black I continued to hold it for about 30 seconds all the came up was the red charge bar. never got an apple symbol until it started a minute later..
