I need to know when connecting the charger for power, did I had to switch off my iPhone 4s? This is first time charging. The phone is a used one which I received from Germany. Please help me. Further when I connected to power for charging it does not indicate in the battery meter it is charging like other phones.

Plug it into a computer USB 2.0 or 3.0 port instead of the wall to see if the indicator changes. (Working under the assumption that you are in a locale where the power at the outlet is 110V instead of 220V.) If it charges properly when plugged into a USB port but not the wall, you are using a transformer with the wrong number of windings for where you are, effectively only giving you half of the power required to charge the battery.
