Do charging mats work for iPhone 4?

My 92 yr old father has trouble plugging charger into phone. Previously had type w/charging cradle but was crappy phone.  Some mats require plugging in phone but I think some you just lay the phone on the mat  do they work?

I don't use them, but from what I understand, they do. Of course, you need a special case for the phone in addition to the charging mat. It can run you $100 or more.

  • Charger with serial number A1300 is not working for iPhone 5, is it?

    I have an issue charging my new iPhone 5. I bought an extra cable - and they seem to both work when pluggin it into any computer. But one of my chargers will not work with it - but it works if I plugin my iPhone 4. How come? I noticed that the serial number is A1300. I borrowed one from a friend with serial number A1400 - and that worked (with the same cable).
    can I conclude that chargers with serial numbers A1300 don't work for iPhone 5?

    Any iPhone or iPad charger should work with the iPhone 5.  There is something wrong with your charger.  If it is the one that came with the phone it is covered by the phone's warrantee.

  • Voicemail notifications not working for iphone 4s

    voicemail notifications not working for iphone 4s

    I had the same problem and after a lot of research here and on Verizon I finally discovered that it was an app named Onavo Extend that was preventing my voicemail from working. Other people have had success resetting their phone or network settings, disabling and reenabling SIRI, or deleting the Neilsen app (which I didn't have)  but those options didn't work for me. A lot of mods have claimed that this is not an Apple problem but if it is caused by an app that Apple allows to be sold in their app store, then it is an Apple problem, not a carrier problem. Of course, sometimes its just an ID 10 T problem.

  • ActiveSync autodiscover not working for iPhone but for Android and Windows Phone

    Hi
    We have setup an Exchange 2013 hosted environment, where different mail domains are running on it.
    The main domain is mydomain.com. One of the client domains is customer.com.
    Autodiscover for customer.com has a cname which points to autodiscover.mydomain.com, on our firewall this url is redirected to autodiscover-s.mydomain.com, where our public certificate for mydomain.com is applied. Autodiscover for all
    our customers finally ends at autodiscover-s.mydomain.com.
    Outlook WebApp, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync for all customers is reachable through mail.mydomain.com.
    Everything works fine, except of autodiscover for iPhones. I always have to enter the server name mail.mydomain.com manually. After that ActiveSync works on iPhones as well.
    The Problem doesn’t exist on Androids and Windows Phones.
    Any suggestion?
    Regards
    Peter

    Yes, Interestingly same configuration is working in my home lab, but not working at customer. The version is 10.5
    Cannot say wireless issue as jabber for windows is working from wireless

  • What charger to get for iPhone?

    Hi!
    Recently I bought iPhone from USA, it came with american wall charger, it seems to me it's not original. I live in Europe and want to get a replacement, but I can't find original one for reasonable price. My question - can I use non-original charger for iPhone or charger for another phone, for instance htc tc-e250? Is it safe, won't it harm my phone? What model to choose? What's cheapest good charger?
    I know I'm far not first to ask this question, but I could not find good answer. Please, Geniuses, answer me!)

    Intenditore wrote:
    I can't find it for less than 30-40$, no too good price. I bought 3GS for about 110$ )
    Well, it's your phone and your risk. Again, $30-40 is less than paying another $110.

  • Does the camera app on the lock screen only work for iphone?

    Try double-pressing the Home button at the lock screen to make it appear.

  • Will iPad charger work for iPhone?

    I have a trip coming up and will be taking along the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4. I'd only like to have to bring one charger for both, which is better the better one to bring? I've seen that the iPhone charger will charge the iPad much slower, and the iPhone will only charge at the speed it knows to. So it looks like the iPad charger is the one to bring for the quickest of the two, just making sure that is not going to harm anything, thanks!

    As you've been told, take the iPad charger. It's 10 watts. No possible harm. The difference is in capability. The actual delivered power is controlled by the receiving device.

  • My new charger wont work for the computer but will work in the wall charger

    So recently, the charger for my Ipod touch 5th generation broke(my puppy chewed it) so I went to get a new charger. I found that the new charger was not working when i plugged it into my computer. After i returned the charger, and got one that seemed a little better, i plugged it into my computer and found that that one also didnt work. I was extremely angry and confused about why they werent working. I was wondering if the problem was my ipod or the charger or the computer. So i plugged it into a wall charger in the wall and that did work! So now im assuming its just my computer but it has always worked before when i plugged it into my computer untill the last charger i had broke. Any idea how to fix this? Or is this unfixable?

  • Aftermarket car charger not working with iPhone 4

    I have and aftermarket input in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. It includes a 30-pin connector which provides the line level input and a charging to an ipod. I have been using just fine with my 2nd gen ipod and wife's 2g iPod Touch with no problem. I just bought a new iPhone 4 last week and plug it in and get the message "this accessory is not optimized for this device" "charging is not supported". Is this just a software block or is the power requirements that much different with the iPhone. The input works and the iPhone even respond to a pause signal when I shut off the car (input device pauses your ipod when you shut off the car), but no charging. I hate to think I have to shell out another $50-60 for a new input for my car. Any thoughts?
    I can't remember the name of the input device. I think it might be PIE.
    Thanks

    "Scosche Passport - it's a quality product that solves your problem.... "
    Let me stop you right there. The scosche passport WAS a good product. I purchased one last year at the apple store when I was making a 9 hour trip up north and needed to charge my iPhone 3GS on the way. It was a brilliant product, all the way up to the launch of iOS 4.
    I don't know HOW Apple botched this update, but the fact that I am now using the same hardware (the 3GS), attached to the same scosche adapter in my car, and a software update to 4.0 has broken my ability to charge. It is absolutely insane.
    Needless to say I'm furious. I'll be ringing Apple on Tuesday, as they're not signing 3.1.3 anymore, so I can't even go back to a chargable phone.

  • Itunes wifi sync not working for iPhone 4s ?

    i have a MBP 15'' , 3 iPhone 4s , 1 iPad 3 but only MY iphone 4s is not syncing over wifi , it syncs via usb cable but not when i connect to charger and connected to wifi or even when i press the itunes wifi sync in the settings it syas looking for MBP and does not sync , whereas all my other gadgets like ipad and iphones automatically sync as soon as they are in wifi zone . i tried everything like reeboting my iphone and quitting and reopening my itunes but nothing helped checked and unchecked the "sync with this iphone over wifi" several times still nothing then even tried changing the ip address but no , then even restored my iphone from backup even then nothing helped , and even did all the obvious things like connected bluethooth , used iphone remort for itunes , and even did homesharing of itune library through iphone , nothing helped so if anyone knows how to get this straight please let me know .. and yes i even checked the iphone and itunes version they are both up to date

    hey kasey, i dont know why you have to do that or why does it not work even with all the right settings but what i know is after that process that i just explained above your problem will be gone and iphone will wifi sync as soon as you enter the wifi zone 
    the cause of the problem might be ( what i think is ) when you update you iphone software directly from iphone instead through your computer you get this problem because for me also it was working finely until i updated to 5.1.1 from iphone itself and wich caused me so much trouble, well now i have installed IOS6 and working great .evean if you did not update your iphone and still got this problem can be due to the reason that sometimes your iphone or computer cahnges some internet settings on theri on for their best connection which might cause confusion between 2 gadgets .

  • IMessage connected to wifi doesn't work for iPhone and ipad

    My ipad and iPhone worked great with iMessage on wifi until one week ago. As far as I'm aware nothing has changed. So, I'm not sure what happened. I've checked for updates on both devices and on iMessage and everything is currently updated to the latest version.
    On both devices, I have tried turning iMessage off and on and I've confirmed I have both a phone number and email to send and receive messages. I have tried to reset all network settings as well as the hard reboot. I have also logged out and into my iMessage ID and Apple ID. Nothing seems to work.
    The thing I find very strange us that started happening with both devices at the same time. So, I confirmed that my wifi signal is fine as well as trying wifi signals in other locations. I am still having the same problem. Can anyone help?
