IPhone :: Why Use 30-pin Connector Instead Of Some Sort Of USB?
Jul 17, 2010
Since the dawn of time (almost) Apple has used the 30-pin connector, which was originally used for laptop docking stations, and of course the iPhone inherited that port. Now, I can see why they have it on the iPhone since almost every portable Apple products use it and that's good for accessories like sound systems and various other products.Now, I remember hearing about a new phone standard for cables/chargers with all parties using the same port. Apple among others have joined. So, what's gonna happen to the 30-pin connector? Are there any real benefits of using the 30-pin connector over a USB solution, like micro USB?

I took my phone to the Apple store to have the 30 pin connector looked at. They said there was corrosion on the connector and that was affecting the charging. I'm considering using contact cleaner from Radio Shack. I'm looking for ideas on how to apply it and clean the contacts in such a small space.

After noticing that my normal cables aren't working right, (I usually use a dock) I've been trying to figure out why.Finally found the cause. The dock is faulty. Pic's are at the bottom. The right side of it is pushing up more as you can see in the pics. It's firmly in that position, doesn't wiggle or anything and the phone still charges and music can be played using the dock.But the normal cables are all acting really dodgy now. If u push them in they'll connect for a second while your pushing and then disconnect when you let go... This has been getting worse and worse and obviously the dock has slowly been damaging the connector inside the phone.

I bought the lighting pin to 30 pin connector. I own an iPhone 5.Â
I connected it to my iPod doc station that is made with a 30 pin default. The doc lights up green when I connect the lighting pin to 30 pin connector indicating that it recognizes it is connected but when I then connect my iPhone 5 to the connector, it won't play music through the doc. It just plays the music through my iPhone speakers.Â
What's wrong with it?

I was just curious because I was looking in there to check my liquid indicator (still white thank god) and I noticed two weird scuff-like markings and I was wondering is it my apple cord scratching the inside of my connector or is it common? So I ask that everyone check and see if there are friction scuffs on yours as well.

I have a 3G running version 3.1.2 and I am JB. My question is will this phone support video out from the dock connector? I have P90X ripped on my phone and I would like to plug it into the tv in the gym. Will the phone do this and if not is there a JB app that will alow that?

In my videos galary I see videos sorted in alphabetic order by default. How can I sort them by thier creation date / date on which they were added. Did lot of googling but isn't finding any convincing pointer.
I am begenning to feel that it is perhaps not possible only in iPhone .... how dumb would that be if true. iPhone desiners are acting too oversmart.

With my old 3g iPhone, my notes from Outlook came into the phone in alphbetical order. With my new 4siPhone, they're all jumbled because the only sorting method is by the date the note was made. It's irritating and inconveninet.Is there a way to sort them alphabetically?

Currently when syncing Outlook Tasks via iCloud to the phone the tasks locate in Reminders. The synced tasks lose their native Outlook sort (in my case by Due Date) and end up sorted in some utterly unusable order. Other than periodically re-invoking iCloud syncing between Outlook and the phone to check and see if this condition has been improved by Apple, is there some central Apple location that advises of the specifics to software updates on either the phone or the cloud?

I was looking at the Samsung Data/Power connector, but I don't recognize it. Is it proprietary? Is there a name for it? It does not look like a mini or micro USB to me.

My phone stopped charging one day so I sent it in to Sony.They sent it back saying "physical damage, glue on connector broken".Now this phone is only a few months old.It has never been dropped or anything.If there was any damage to the connector, it came from plugging it in in a normal manner.So I called them back up and said that there is no way I caused any damage to the phone.The customer service person said that he would resubmit it and that I would hear back from them in 24 hours.
3 days later after hearing nothing, I called them and the guy told me that nothing was ever resubmitted and that they don't even do that.SO Sony sold me a phone that broke under 2 months of normal use, refuses to fix the problem, and then told me something completely untrue just to get me off the phone.That being said, has anyone had the glue break on their phone and is there anyway to fix it? I could deal with doing the battery swap and recharge thing but I really want to be able to update to gingerbread.

I've been Googling to try to find an adapter or cable to connect to the internal antenna port on the PCB, but I don't know what the industry terminology for such a connector is, so I don't even know what to Google. Can someone tell me what I need and/or point me to a site where I can buy it? My phone has no external antenna port and an inductive adapter/cradle is not good enough. Yes, I will be very careful and provide strain relief, etc., when I hook it up.

Unless I am missing something completely, I have nothing shown under "Artist" or "Genre", and since I don't maintain playlist in iTune, I can't sync that either.What does this mean? does that mean all my content are copyright protected? Or something not set up right?

The local Nokia repair store says my 3-month-old Lumia has a "broken" USB connector. This seemed so outrageous that I searched and found this forum with several similiar complaints hidden in other threads. The symptom is that the phone won't charge... which is similiar to several other software related problems. However, to reduce confusion, let's please focus this thread on broken/damaged USB connectors.If your phone won't charge, you can check if you have a broken USB. Just look at yours in comparison to a USB connector on a different phone. I believe this is a manufacturing/part failure in the Nokia. I did not damage my phone. Another poster's phone had this same problem directly out of the box. Another user was eventually successful in getting Nokia to replace his phone. (My local service center wants €290 + 23% IVA to repair what I did not break.)

I bought a new X6 from operator before Xmas. Just in 3+ weeks USB port metal shield in phone was ruptured from phone circuit board and metal holding came out with the cable. Board was not damaged as I could get USB working by keeping cable in manually in right position but as it was not secured it stopped working as soon as phone moved even slightly. Using Nokia Comes with Music/Ovi store during Xmas heavily I connected/disconnected usb 200+ times in this short time frame.
Nokia repair shop took the phone for repairs for over 5 weeks and surprised by a billed (40 Euros) statement that it can't be repaired satisfactorily. It's not within Nokia limited warranty terms and I should by a new phone! I can't complain as consumer as I bought phone for my company and can't use my private insurance to cover replacement. As I bought it via an operator I'm wondering whose Quality Assurance I should now complain. As a telecoms consultant I've advised several equipment manufacturers on quality assurance but this really puzzles me.
