Charging iPhone Bluetooth Headset while cable plugged into 3G Dock

Can anyone tell me why the charge indicator on the iPhone Bluetooth Headset turns off when I plug the cable into the iPhone 3G Dock? Is it still charging?

  • 3GS doesn't fit into iPhone Bluetooth Headset cradle?

    Just got my first iPhone, the 3GS. However, I already own the iPhone Bluetooth headset, which comes with a cradle that it supposed to accommodate the bluetooth and the iPhone. Since the new 3GS supposedly has the same dimensions as previous phones, it should fit, right?
    I tried putting the 3GS into the cradle and the latter was a tiny bit too small. The phone almost fit in the port but didn't, and I didn't want to force it. Anyone know if it's supposed to fit?

    It is not supposed to fit, and murray65 is correct - Apple never made a dual dock for the iPhone 3G, and in fact, early this year they discontinued the Apple Bluetooth Headset. You can either just use the travel cable to charge both devices, or you can use a Dremel (or carton knife, etc.) to widen the opening in the dock for the iPhone to accommodate the slightly larger and more rounded iPhone 3GS. See the last few posts in this thread for some links to pics of the process.

    My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

    If the iPhone won't charge when connected to the power adaptor that was included with the iPhone, the same when connected to your computer, and no change when connected to any charger, do you have access to another cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used?
    If no change with a known good cable, there is a hardware problem with the iPhone.
    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • IPhone bluetooth headset charging

    I'm curious how the dual dock charges the iPhone bluetooth headset. It looks like the area where the microphone is on the headset is also the charging contacts. Is that so?

  • IPhone Bluetooth Headset - looking for ear plugs?

    I just bought the iPhone Bluetooth Headset. I like it. I had the jawbone (which is also very nice), but I am pretty sure the Apple headset will suite my style much better.
    One problem I have is getting it to stay in my ear (horizontal, i.e parallel to the ground) and not fall down. It seems to fit better in my left ear than in my right but still seems to wobble downward on occasion.
    Is there some kind of rubber ear plug that can be added to the iphone that might make it fit my ear better? Thanks for any ideas.

    The same thing was happening to me when I first got it.
    As soon as I put the earbud pad covering on the earpiece that comes with the headset the headset fit perfectly and is very stable.
    For replacement earbud pads:

  • 2.2.1 Software Update broke connection with Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset

    Since performing 2.2.1 software update, my iPhone 3g does not recognize my Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset when plugged into back of iPhone Bluetooth Travel Cable.
    Is there some sort of reset operation I need to do?

    Hi Jonathan,
    Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    If that does not work, try the general troubleshooting tips here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

  • IPhone Bluetooth Headset - after five months in the backyard

    About five months ago I lost my iPhone Bluetooth headset. This headset is so small and slippery that I'd almost lost it several times. This time I searched everywhere, but no luck. Well, this week we were dog-sitting for friends, and this dog loves to fetch. I left her outside when I went to work, and when I came home I walked into the backyard and looked down at a small black object just beyond the patio. I recognized my headset right away -- she must have found it in the yard or garden. After I cleaned off the dirt, it looked like new. I let it air out overnight and then charged it up. Despite five months of sprinklers, rain, and dirt, it works like new.
    I've dropped my iPhone enough to know how tough it is, but ounce for ounce, this headset is even tougher.

    Shelly,
    The new bluetooth headset from Apple will not play music at all. Mono bluetooth headsets aren't designed for said purpose. The format for doing so is called A2DP and it is currently not available on the iPhone. But there is a good chance that this might be remedied in a future software update.
    Hope that helps!!!

  • Iphone bluetooth headset won't answer

    anyone have this problem?
    i wouldn't call my bluetooth headset "dead", but when a call comes through and i push the botton at the top, it no longer connects me to the caller. i can't hear them, although they claim to be able to hear me. i have to call them back in order to have a converstation.

    Hello Joolader. Posted below is an Article that seems based on what it is your doing. I have also posted a couple other articles along with Damon's, As well as some additional troubleshooting steps.

    How to pair iPhone Bluetooth Headset http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305664
    Additional Troubleshooting.
    1. Turn iPhone off then back on. Simply hold down the Sleep/Wake button and slide to power off, When the screen turns dark. Press the Sleep/Wake Button for 3 seconds till you see an Apple Logo. Once the iPhone boots backup, Now try Bluetooth again.
    2. Reboot the iPhone. Press Sleep/Wake and Home button together, Let go once you see Apple Logo. iPhone will Reboot and come back, Now test Bluetooth
    3.Go to Settings- Toggle Airport Mode on, Then Off, Retest Bluetooth
    4.Go to Settings- General-Reset-Reset Network Settings, Retest Bluetooth
    5. Now that we covered all the basic settings without touching data. If you still can not get Bluetooth to work try the last couple steps.
    6. Find another Bluetooth headset see if the iPhone sees it.
    7.Backup your Data, Restore iPhone, Test Bluetooth
    If this all fails. Take your iPhone and Bluetooth headset to an Apple Retail store, Where they can attempt a couple more last min troubleshooting steps on iPhone.
    If another Bluetooth works with your iPhone then you had a Bluetooth headset issue. But taking your Bluetooth headset into Apple Retail will allow them to test it on other iPhones to rule out an issue with your hardware.
    Please book an appointment at your local store before going in.

  • Motorola HS500 bluetooth headset while driving only!

    I only use the bluetooth headset while I am driving, which is about two hours daily. Should I turn on and off the bluetooth option on my iPhone to save battery power? In other words, just turn on the bluetooth when I need to use my headset?

    Miguel...most would recommend to turn off both Bluetooth and WiFi when not in use to conserve battery life...However...I leave mine on 24 hours per day and still get 48 hours standby with about 4-6 hours of use per day. So it would seem that what ever is best for "your" phone is what I would recommend. Hope that helps.
    Good Luck

    So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

    I PURCHASED RINGTONES ON MY IPHONE 4S BEFORE I EVEN PLUGGED INTO ITUNES THEN I PLUGGED IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND RINGTONES HAVE DISSAPEARED FROM PHONE HOW DO I GET THEM BACK?

    Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
    Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
    Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?

    Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes.  If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
