Does anyone know of an app/workaround to enable charging through cables that are no longer supported? My car has an iPhone plug which used the old Firewire charging technique (which apple no longer supports) and I can't charge my iPhone in my car. I have a converter from Griffin which lets me use it, but I'd rather just find an app/script that rids of this issue all together.Does anyone know of a solution?The original Bose Dock has the exact same problem.
So i have 3gs and iphone 4 both new only weeks old
Problem: Updated to 5.1.1 on both devices and since all i get with legit apple charger is "charging not supported with this accessory "
Same with pc and wall charger befor you say tried different USB and cable and yes they are legit accessorys that came with the phones really not happy about this so simple stuff and apple can't even sort it out .......my guess apple needs to remove the file for third party accessorys or im just going to jailbreak it and download resupported to sort the problem out myself
Only problem is, I'm using the same exact USB cable that I have been using for nearly 2 years. It all the sudden is switching between not being supported and charging (which is annoying, as the phone is vibrating twice every 15 seconds now). Anybody have any clue?
So my iPhone keeps telling me that "charging is not supported with this accessory", the problem is that I don't have anything plugged into it. It flashes on and off but really annoying when I'm trying to do stuff on my phone. Anyone have this problem before or know how to fix it?
I have an iphone 3gs thats about two years old. It still holds a good charge, when it will charge. Lately when I plug in my phone it comes up with "Charging is not supported with this device"?
After installing iOS5.1 I have been having trouble with my phone. Last night the voice controll kept coming on and calling contacts.and the home button quit working. I decided to do a software resore 1/2 way through the process i tunes quit recognizing my phone. I kept putting the phone in DFU mode and finaly got the restore to work after about 4 hours. now today when I plug my phone in to charge. a warning come up "Charging not Supported with this accessory".
I am using the plug and cord that came with the phone. Iphone 4 bought in 11/2011.
i got an iphone 3gs for christmas and it went fantastic, i jailbroke it and got everything i needed. in february, i came home from college and saw a message saying charging is not supported with this accessory when i tried to charge it with the charger i have been using for a month! so i still had my warranty on it and i sent it off. i recently got a new one (refurbished) on friday so i have had it exactly a week now. all was well once again and just a second ago i got the message again! but this time it wasnt permentant, i unplugged it and plugged it back it and it was fine for around 5 mins and did it again!
i am using the mains to charge it and it is a USB plugged into a plug which goes in the mains, i am using 5.0.1
every time i plug my charger in to charge the phone it pops up saying 'charging is not supported with this accessory' i dont think i have had any water damae to it and it has been working fine for months no its suddenly just started to do it.
Just got my iphone 3gs today. I charged it once but went to put it on charger again and got an error message "charging is not supported with this accessory". It's the same charger cable that came with the phone and that I used earlier. Plugged into the same computer.
Recently a weird message came up with my iPhone 5s shows "this accessory may not be supported" when charging to 90%. I'm using the genuie lightning cable coming with the iPhone, my phone updated to 7.1.2. This problem came up only in the last few days....I tried plugging and unplugging again and again, this issue still on...
Charging is not supported with this accessory, with a yellow exclamation triangle, this pops up on my phone even when it is not charging, I am using the original charger and have also used my sons which is the same phone and charger, anybody know why it's giving me this message
I have an iPhone 4s. I have downloaded the most unto date iOS version, then plugged the apple charger in. The phone came up with a message stating "charging not supported with this accessory". However, if I hold the charger into the connector, this sometimes charges the phone. Seems strange this only occurred after iOS update"
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, happened on 1st charge after update
I have been using my iPhone 4S inside my 2008 Scion TC since Februrary, when I bought my iPhone. Just like my 2G iPod touch, it give me the error "Charging not supported on this accessory" For this reason i use the Scosche adapter. Using this dongle, allows the device to both charge and play music. It was working perfectly on my iPhone 4S, and today a friend told me that his ipod touch 1G would not charge or play on his 2008 Infiniti G35.
I told him about my adapter, and walked to my car, brought my factory cable along with dongle to his Infiniti G35, plugged in the cable, but his car would not see my iPhone 4S, with or without the scosche dongle, or with his cable with or without the scosche dongle. He tried his iPod tough 1G, which WILL now charage and play music on his iPod touch 1G.
This is where I am baffled, I am happy that he can get his working with the scosche adapter, when he buys one. I then walked back to my Scion, and my Scion now tells me "iPod Comm. Error," if I then unplug and plug it back in, I see "Bye Bye, iPod" then it acts as if the iPod is not connected at all. I tried with and without my scosche adapter. It WILL charge with the scosche adapter connected, but will not play music, this is true, even when the Scion is not seeing the iPhone 4S. If I connect without the scosche adapter, it will give me the familliar "charging not supported with this accessory." All signs are now pointing that the Scion SEES that the iPhone is properly connected. I iniatally thought that maybe I damaged my cable in some way, by connecting it to his Infiniti, however even the part number on his infiniti provided cable is identical to the one provided by Scion.
I was able to update my 16GB 3GS to iOS4 without a hitch, that is until I paired it up with my Contour Design SurfaceSound Compact Bluetooth handsfree car kit. Upon syncing the device would confirm pairing to the phone by announcing "handset connected". However, after updating to iOS4 the device would continually announce "handset connected" every minute or so (quite annoying). I've tried unpairing it to my iPhone and then repairing it but the problem continued.
However, I did find a workaround to this problem. I noticed that if I left my iPhone on the Bluetooth screen (within the Settings), the pairing takes place but it doesn't force my car kit from announcing "handset connected" every minute. Aside from not being able to switch to another screen or application, pressing the power button (turn off the display) will bring this "bug" back.
At least the iPod functions still work and I can take incoming phone calls...hopefully Apple fixes this annoyance soon.
Just goofing around, I figured out that there may be a workaround to the lack of a charge-only mode, at least on Windows systems. Connect the phone, and it will show up as a mass-storage device in Windows Explorer and start charging the phone. Now, click the tray icon to "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media." That disconnects the mass storage device, yet leaves the charger working.
The ICS upgrade will remove the 3G/4G toggle that so many of us have used ad nauseum on our Bionic. I haven't had to use the toggle feature since the upgrade, because I've found the upgrade fixed my connectivity issues.But if you need it, here's the workaround:Dial (Hidden phone menu # Removed)RDownload an app (I use LTE OnOff from the Play Store: http://goo.gl/Pmm5v)Once you pull arrive at the screen, scroll to the "Set preferred network type" setting. The settings for Bionic w/ICS are as follows:4G LTE: LTE/CDMA/EvDo3G: CMDA Auto (PRL)(Note: In this workaround, 4G has a different designation with ICS than it did with Gingerbread)
I am frequently on the water and carry my Droid X in an Aquapac waterproof case. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to use the keypad to enter digits or hang up because the proximity sensor responds to the case and shuts off the screen. If I am quick enough, I can activate the speaker phone before this happens, but it's not ideal for a conversation. For whatever reason, this happened when I first bought the phone, went away with the Froyo upgrade, and is now back again with the Gingerbread upgrade.
I have been having problems with my home icons vanishing when connecting my Photon as a USB drive. I found a workaround that takes care of this problem.
I have an Iphone 4s that was purchased a few months ago. The charging cable all of a sudden would not charge my phone and I noticed there is a burn mark on the inside of the plug that goes into my phone. Is this cable covered under applecare plus warranty and should I be worried there is a problem with my phone?
When I plug my iphone 4 into the usb port it will show that its charging, but all by itself it will all of a sudden be not charging within a minute. anyone else having this problem?
I just exchanged my USA AT&T-locked iPhone 4 at a UK Apple store for a few hardware issues (unrelated to antennagate), but I can't activate the new phone because it says the sim is unsupported! Now bear in mind Apple said it would work fine and just "needed to be left connected to iTunes for about half an hour" but it's obviously not working an hour later. My sim worked perfectly before transferring to the new handset. I'm panicked, as now I have no phone here. Applecare said I need to contact AT&T, but I know they're going to be useless!
