I've got this iPhone 4s, which doesn't seem to hold charge at all. If I connect it to my Mac or a wall charger, it powers up and just shows a Apple logo. After a while the Apple disappears, only to show a spinning wheel. I've tried to enter recovery or DFU, but nothing seems to work. Normally when you try DFU, usually after 6/7 seconds the screen flashes, but that doesn't happen with this iPhone. I also tried holding the home button while connecting it to my mac.

iTunes or Redsn0w don't recognize my iPhone at all, nor does Tinyumbrella.

Something tells me this is a combination of a dead battery and a software error.. I already ordered a new battery, which should come in in a few days. Any tips in the meantime?
