    Hello abyjohn,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker

    Clean the iPhone dock port with a clean dry tooth brush. If the warning occurs again, clean the dock port very carefully and thoroughly with isopropyll alcohol, especially the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. If still warning, then take iPhone to Apple for Warranty service.

    A lot will depend on what "accessory" the message is "not optimized". I get this message when my Mophie Juicepack is depleted, recharge it and no problems. Till the next time it is drained of course. That might give you hint of the issue. If you tell use what device you might be using when you get that message, we might have a different suggestion.

  • This accessory is not optimized for this iphone message

    "This accessory is not optimized for this iphone - you may experience a decrease in cellular signal strength" keeps popping up on my phone.  I haven't tried to put any accessories on my phone other than the charger that came with it and my ipod cord that I already had.  I have reset the phone with the home and sleep button but this did not help.  The message pops up like every 10 minutes or every time I try to text.  It's getting to be quite annoying....any suggestions?

    Get a new unused tooth brush and clean out the dock connector area at the bottom of the iphone. I have had this haapen before and there is probobly lint causing it. Cleaning it out fixed it for me.

  • How to deleted warning this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone

    How to deleted warning "this accessory is not optimized for this phone"

    You cannot delete it, it is a valid message.
    The issue may be that the dock connector has dust/lint in it or the pins are bent.  Try cleaing the connector with a soft dry brush.
    This assumes that the "accessory" that is generating the message is optimized for iPhone.

    If you get this message when you are using a "Works with iPhone" accessory, make sure of the following:
    Make sure the packaging for the product says "Works with iPhone" and not "Made for iPod".For more information about iPhone accessories and the difference between "Works with iPhone" and "Made for iPod' accessories click here.
    The iPhone dock connector is free of any debris.

  • HELP!! This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone. You may experience noise interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength

    Ive seen loads of people with this issue and no luck.
    Basically as of yesterday, The message
    This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone. You may experience noise interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength" 
    appeared and wont go away. I have nit used my headphones for a month so i cant think of anything that has triggered it.
    Solutions I have tried..
    Making sure my phone isnt on mute.
    Letting the power dye and re charging.
    plugging in head phones etc.
    Still no luck.
    Model is iPhone 3GS 16GB.

    My mum's phone had that message too. I googled it. Sometimes the connection becomes dirty due to dust, dirt, water or a combination of all three. It is recommended to clean out the connection using a clean, dry brush, like a paint brush.
    It worked for her
    I hope that this helps

  • This accessory is not optimized for this iphone - JBL on stage lllp

    Hi,
    i've got a problem with the iPhone 4 and the "JBL on stage lllp", the message "This accessory is not optimized for this iphone" appears after connecting it to the docking station. Only the battery is charging. After a reboot with "docked" iPhone it works fine till the next unplug and connect.
    It sounds like a software problem to me.
    Thank you for your help.
    Sascha

    iPhone 4s.
    iOS 6.1.2
    I also have this problem.
    I'm sure I read that the iphone 4s was supported before I bought it??
    My 3GS running 6.1.6 works fine docked into the JBL on stage lllp.
    > After a reboot with "docked" iPhone it works fine till the next unplug and connect.
    I didn't know about this...
    Any one got any ideas or solutions?
    Many thanks.

  • Accessory is not optimized for this iphone

    I have iphone 4 and for almost a year I have used a Sylvania docking station to charge my phone at night and to also play my music through the speakers on it then all of the sudden I got the message "This accessory is not optimized for this iphone"  I went to the apple store and they said I needed to update the latest software to my iphone.  I did the update to OS5 and icloud which was a nightmare finally got everything restore and I still got this message when I try to dock my phone.  I can use other ipods in it so whats going on any ideas ???

    In the iPhone 4 and newer they built in some hardware checks. Official, authorised apple accessories have a bit of hardware which identifies themselves to the iphone. Non official units dont have this and thus the iPhone presents a 'nag' screen. It shouldnt stop it from working but its basically apples way of making you buy official stuff by nagging you.
    If its started lately, it could be a problem with your docking station.

  • I just started receiving this error: "This accesory is not optimized for this I-Phone." What does this mean? I don't have any accessories attached. Should I be concerned?

    A small amount of coffee spilled on my phone this morning.  I dried it immediately, but my phone has started giving me the following error:  "This accessory is not optimized for this I-Phone - You may experience noise caused by celullar interference and a decrease in cellular strength."  Since then I have not been able to manually adjust my ringer volume & I can't use I-Tunes w/o my ear buds. Why is this happening & what can I do to fix this?

    Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.

    Im trying to import a large amount of pictures to Iphoto. I have pleanty of space on my HD. But half way thru the transfer an error message comes up and says not enough disc space. How can I fix this?

    I. I want to import 58.64 GB of Photos from an external HD
    2. I have 278.28 GB space left on my HD
    3. The exact error message goes like this......
    Insufficient Disk Space
    iPhoto cannot import your photos because
    there is not enough free space on the
    volume containing your iPhoto library
    I Have researched this and most advice is to empty the iPhoto trash. I have already done this and it did not help.
    Thank you for helping

  • What does it mean when the message states that "This accessory is not optimized for this Iphone"?

    Since Aug. 20th I have been receiving a message that states " This accessory is not optimized on this iphone", what does that mean, and how do I get id of it?

    If you don't have it plugged into something it means there is 'crud' in the dock connector causing a short and making it think there is something strange plugged in. Clean out the dock connector with a dry toothbrush.
