Car Charger stops playback

I am using a Belkin car charger with my iPod Touch 2G 8 GB (purchased this past summer). When I attach it, anything playing immediately stops and I return to the song-listing or album listing screen. I can't get it to play no matter what I do.
Any ideas why or how to fix this problem?
Is there any more information you need to help?

yup that was it.. The bumper has a little plastic piece that stooped the charger from fully seating... So I had to perform surgery on my $29.00 Apple bumper so the accessory that are made for it fit.. Nice...

Flexpod X2 car charge stopped charging

I used a Flexpod X2 charger/ FM transmitter in my car and it worked fine for two weeks. Then a message popped up on the IPhone 3GS "Warning cannot charge with this device". After this it acted very strangely.
First the device continued to charge, but no longer required the cable to connect the phone to the charger for the FM transmitter to work.
Then the phone stopped charging and again required the cable to play through the radio.
Do I need a new charger? Can I somehow reboot the phone to get it back to work the way it used to?
Any ideas suggestions?
Thanks,
MikeC

I have tried safe mode now, and it still will not take a charge running in safe mode.
I did a factory reset (with my phone restoring app data from google servers) and it did not solve the issue.
I then did a factory reset WITHOUT restoring any data other than my contacts - still did not resolve the issue.
It almost seems like a hardware issue at this point, but the hanging point for that is that if I power it off, it charges, or if plugged in while booting, it charges. So the charging port is clearly working fine.
Almost seems to be a basic OS issue, but the odds of that happening at all, let alone on only a single phone are astronomically slim.
Any other ideas?

Car Charger Just stops working?

well my Griffin car charger has just stopped working with the 4G phone. Still works on my 3GS. The phone still charges with the wall plug that it came with. Anyone else hear of this weird one???

IPhone charging problem/playback for music

Hi everyone, I have two problems at the moment. The first one is the iPhone car charger is not working correctly, it goes in and out from charging. It charges, then stops, then charges, then stops. I have no clue why this is all of sudden doing this. The second problem is when I connect a aux input cable to my iPhone and playback in my car, the music only comes out of one speaker? Then it goes to both, then one, then both, then one. It is very similar to the charging issue. Any ideas of what is happening here? Thanks

IPod won't charge with car charger or on stereo dock..

A couple months ago, my iPod Nano (1st gen) stopped charging with the car charger and my stereo dock for no apparent reason. Is there some sort of setting that got switched in iTunes that prevents it from charging from other sources, besides the computer?
It charges just fine when I connect it to my PC...but it just doesn't charge when I connect it to the car charger, or my stereo dock...
Thanks in advance.

No, iTunes probably wouldn't be affecting your iPod's charging from anything but a computer.
Have you tried resetting your iPod?
Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds.
If that doesn't seem to work (you might need to try it quite a few times), try taking a look at this:

What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
I see this on amazon
*Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
*Technical Details*
*¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
*¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
*¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
*¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
*¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
Go figure, but for now there it is.
Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

Power surge on car charger

I've had two iPod nano 7th gen essentially die because I've left them connected to a car charger. For example, I used my iPod for for a 12 hour car ride one the same charge. I put it on the car charger when it was about dead(using the apple cable that came with it) and stopped and went into a store. Left it connected went inside (10 minutes tops) came back out and started the car and then noticed it was getting hot and now it won't hold a charge. I have charged it for 3 hours just to get it full and now it will only go 10 minutes before it's dead. Is it likely that when I stated the car, it caused a surge and killed the iPod? Any thoughts? I'll be sending it in to ape after the holiday but I don't want to fry anything else.

Car charger disconnecting and reconnecting by itself.

I am having a strange problem with my 3GS. With the car charger plugged in and going down the road the phone will disconnect and instantly reconnect itself to the charger...thought it was the charger so tried another and the same thing. Does it when going downhill. Have determined that it does it no matter what unless I put it in airplane mode, then that solves the problem until I turn airplane mode off then it is right back to doing it again. Anyone else having this problem or know what to do to correct it?

Mine starts it every night at the same place. It is a smooth highway but there is a slight hill. Did it tonight with a brand new charger only way I could get the problem to stop was put it in airplane mode, then could not get it to do it again until I took it back off airplane mode. I have tried unplugging and plugging back up but its still the same. Even tried moving the phone and wire and plug around thinking bad connection or broken wire. Still same thing..like it is getting or losing some signal from the towers making it do it. So I dont think it is charger or the port on the phone.

Car charger doesn't charge phone after 4.3 update

for months the car charger has charged this phone fine, after upgrading to 4.3 it has stopped.
Anyone else?

Some more data points.
If I restart my phone it will work with the car charger until it reaches full charge. Then it stops working with the car charger until I restart it again. So if I get to 100% using the car charger, use the phone for a while and get down to 90%, I have to restart the phone before it works with either car charger again.
I have the same problem with the verizon branded car charger I have as well
All three car chargers work just fine with my wife's intensity 2

Use of iPod dock and car charger

Although the interface on my old iPod dock and the car charger seem to match, I am leery of using either with my new 3Gs. Any idea on whether these accessories will work or cause problems?
TIA for any info.

Won't cause problems, but may or may not work depending how old they are and if the manufacture listened to Apple (years ago) about changes it planed to stop supporting certain things). If they didn't listen, it may not charge. But unless they are really really old (first iPod old) really wont hurt anything.

Ipod on car charger all the time

im putting a ipod on my harley and was wondering if it would hurt anything if i powered it through the car charger so i wouldnt have to worry about the battery going dead?

If the charger works correctly is should stop charging when charge is complete. Use an iPod rated for charging iPods and you shouldn't have any problems.

Charging with car charger

I have a car charger and I usually charge the IPOD while driving. The question is, what happens if I leave the IPOD charging while the car is parked? Could the car battery get discharged and have a problem (ex. if IPOD is charging for 6hours). Thanks, Pablo.

"Question: Should I leave iPod connected to the charger or in the dock whenever I'm not using it?
Answer: The battery stops charging when it's full. Leaving it connected won't charge it any more. It's perfectly OK to leave it connected so it can charge overnight, for example."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=62018#3
"Question: How long does it take to charge the battery?
Answer: Fully charging the battery takes about 4 hours. You can also fast-charge the battery to 80 percent capacity in 1 hour (2 hours for iPod (Click Wheel)). Charging the battery may take longer if you're using iPod as it charges."

IPhone 3G car charger

Just upgraded to 3G iPhone and the car charger I have been happily using for the last year has stopped working and is not supported. Firstly they kept that a bit quiet. Secondly, any suggestions for a car charger that does work
Just looking for a standard charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter.

Apple changed the design of the iPhone 3G dock port such that it can no longer draw power from the FireWire pins in the dock connector, and those are the pins that many car chargers use (since FW can carry higher voltages than USB).
I can confirm that the Griffin PowerJolt and PowerJolt SE work fine with the iPhone 3G. I have both; the SE is all one piece, whereas the non-SE version has separate lighter plug with a USB port and a USB-to-dock cable. The advantage of the latter is that you can use it with other cables (e.g. the Apple BT Travel Cable if you have an Apple BT headset, or the USB charger cable for a 3rd party BT headset).
Hope this helps...

Blackberry Srorm cannot charge AC or car charge

Few years ago we have purchase 2 Blackberry Storm from Verizon. My wife's BB
storm had few problem and Verizon replace it with another. Late last year and
some time in February 2011, she had a problem that she could dial or use numbers
on the screen to dial, but still work through speed dial. In April of the year
we went and purchase Iphone 4. We kept her old BB storm. Recently about 4 weeks
ago my BB Storm with stopped taking the charge. So I bought new battery and it
will still not charge while plug in an outlet. Last 4 weeks or so I start
charging my battery in my wife's phone and putting it in my phone, but it seems
a hassle.
Is there any way that my BB storm can be fixed, so I can charge either with AC
or Car charger. I think something may be wrong in my phone were the charging
cord is attached.
Please advice. Right now I do not want to purchase another Phone.
Thank you,

No, overnight charging is fine. Something untoward has happened to your machine, but merely leaving it plugged in overnight was not a problem.

Palm Centro car charger needed!

No device
My wife has a Palm Centro whose Verizon car charger has bit the dust. It seems like these things go bad after a while - I'm not sure if it's bad contact points, the charger cord getting twisted, etc. but the current one will intermitently charge and disconnect/stop charging. I saw a couple on Amazon that are relatively cheap (under $7.00), but I want a good one and a lot of the Palm chargers I've seen that are "supposed" to fit the Centro are actually made for larger Palms (Treos and the like) and they don't fit. Can anyone recommend a good replacement? Do they just go bad after a while?

I purchased my Palm Centro charger at Best Buy about a year ago. It has worked great. I since upgraded to the Palm Pre, but I gave the Centro to my wife. Otherwise, I would have shipped you mine. I believe my particular charger was from Palm.
