IPhone 4 & Original iPhone/Headset combo dock

Just wanted to let you know that the 4 fits perfectly into the combo dock. No modifications at all. I already butchered one to fit my 3GS, with poor results.
Plus I was able to get the Apple Bluetooth Headset to pair with the 4. Checked the sound quality with my son, and he said I sounded just fine.
I'm very happy this worked. Since I use my phone as my alarm clock, the dock is mucho groovy.

That's a great tip. My combo dock has been collecting dust ever since I went to the 3G. Time to dust it off & get back to dual charging goodness.

IPhone BT headset and dock

For my old iPhone there was a dock that had a holder for the iPhone BT headset. Is there such a dock for the 3G iPhone?

No, not for the 3G. The original combo dock has been discontinued. The closest thing is the "Apple iPhone Bluetooth Travel Cable":

Anyone used the Blue Tooth iPhone combo dock yet..Questions Charging!

I like to charge my phone from the AC/USB adapter every night with the phone turned off. The combo dock (and the travel cord) has a wierd issue when you want to use it to charge both the headset and the phone. If you turn the phone off in the dock (not sleep) the headset won't charge. If you take the phone out of the dock it will charge. If you put only the headset in the dock it will charge. The only way I can charge both at once with the phone off the way i prefer is to use the dock or travel cable for for the headset and another AC/USB adapter to charge the phone when it's off, defeating the whole purpose of the dock if you want a completely full charge, plus you don't get the days usage because the phone is never off.
With the phone in sleep mode in the dock, not off, I did not get a full charge on the green battery icon , but the plug icon indicated full charge. Charging the phone when it's off on the AC/USB adapter before I got my BT headset, I always got the full green battery and the glow, and based upon today's usage, I shut it off early this morning and turned it back on to get this, thus far (5 hrs 13 mins usage, 7 hours 10 minutes standby BT on,lot's of email, ipod and calls and I have a little over half battery left), battery life (somewhat subjective), didn't appear to be as good as it was charging from the wall when it's off.
Apple tech support said that this was "probably" normal behavior.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

i charge my iPhone with it on all the time. when i charge it overnight i always cycle it in the morning. the "green glow" is a user interface glitch(which has been discussed ALLOT here) as long as the plug shows it is fully charged. if my iPhone doesn't show the the "green glow" i cycle it in the morning and that usually does it for me. my iPhone went for almost 48 hours on a charge before asking me to please charge it; this is with moderate to medium calling, internet and ipod. another thing is that when you use your iphone with you headset and the bluetooth is on it is using extra battery because they only have an on and off function and they don't have where you can set it to be discoverable so it is constantly searching and searching for bluetooth devices. which will i have not noticed to be a real drain on the battery but for someone that is say subjected to allot of bluetooth devices in an office building perhaps that might play a role in sucking down more power. for me i notice that it is like 5-10 min of talk time less that with bluetooth on. but as i charge overnight i didn't notice it being much if any lower at night with average use. i don't have the bluetooth combo dock but he battery should fully charge in 4 hours and the average person sleeps more than 8 i would imagine that you are trying to charge 2 things off the same charger but the headset is 1 hour to charge if i remember so what at the most of like 6 hours for both to full charge? i don't know if this helps just some useful information. we have 3 iPhone's in the house and they all have around the same battery life BTW.

Charging Headset and phone in combo dock

I posted this earlier before there was a Blue tooth forum.
Any thoughts appreciated

"First: You can completely turn the iPhone off. Clicking the on/off button on the top of the phone puts it in standbye. Clicking and holding the on/off button for 3-4 seconds brings up a red "power off" slider. If you slide it across the screen, it completely powers off the phone. The next time you click the on/off button, the iPhone takes 15-30 seconds to power back up.
Second: I think the original questioner is correct. It appears that if you completely power off the iPhone, the headset quits recharging. (The headset's amber charge light goes off). When you turn the phone back on, the amber charge light comes back on for the headset.
Question: Does your iPhone recharge while in the cradle and turned off completely? I haven't checked that. I also haven't check to see if the headset actually charges or not. Just noticed the status light goes out that would tend to make you think its not charging."
I think Everyone knows by now that iPhone can be completely shut off. He was referring to shutting it off and putting the phone on the charger (dock), which can not be done.
The phone is set up to sync automatically when connected to the computer, so, the phone powers back on. I think another reason for this is to prevent the computer from going into sleep mode, it drains the battery if it in sleep mode and the phone is connected. This is prevented by the phone syncing to itunes, it will not allow the laptop to go in to sleep mode.

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.

IPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter + dual dock(bt)?????

has anyone tried this? I had iphone and apple bt(which *****),
dualdock was good as it could hold both of them and keep them pair.
Now things got ugly, 3g iphone doesn't come with dock, and they sell 3g dock
but not 3g dual dock, so I have to either use travel cable or put 3g iphone
in 3g dock and bt in dual dock(or travel charger), which is completely
waste of space and usb port.
So how's this combo? iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB546G/A?fnode=home/shopiphone/iphone_accessories/cablesdocks&mco=MTI3Mzc4Mg&p=1&s=topSellers ) + dual dock
does it work? has anyone tried? I'm sure it will look ugly but if there's
no plan for 3g dual dock, then I'd try it...

Thank you for your response -- (its my first ever response) -- Universal Docks that have the large round IR window on the front are OLD Universal Docks and they will not work, they are for the older ipods before the video ipods came out. They also have a SVIDEO port in back. again these are for the old ipods. the newer Universal Docks have a small slot for a IR window and these are the new NON_SVIDEO versions and they my friend do work with the iphone/video ipods and of course the latest Iphone 3g -- if you purhcase the latest AV cables that connect at the bottom of the device...

IPhone headset no more able to control iTunes playback on MacBook Pro

After I have updated to Mac OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 on the latest 13" MacBook Pro, it's not possible to control the iTunes via iPhone headset anymore. Only the volume keys work but the middle key (which can be used for play, pause, next, previous, fast forward) stopped working. I've been looking for any possible settings to activate that in iTunes but I can't see any. Can anyone else confirm that? And could you suggest a solution? I was really used to controlling iTunes playback the same way I am controlling it on the iPhone and I thought it was really cool that Apple has allowed such consistency and interoperability between products. I hope that's a bug and not a decision.

There is another thread about this problem:

Regular iphone headset not working

I bought this headset about six weeks ago. I was listening to music using my iphone headset this morning - it was fine when i last used it. As i was walking home just awhile ago i decided to listen to some music, but the right side of the earphone wasn't working. The left side is working just fine.
Does Apple warranty for the iphone also include the apple headset?

I have the same problem, adding that the headset does not work with the iPhone functions anymore. The problem is that I bought a separate pair in NY, in the Fifth Avenue Apple Store. But now I am in Brazil. The warranty is still good until october. How should I proceed to have the headset changed for a new one?

Headsets don't come with the iPad. All you get is the iPad, USB cable and wall charger.

But I plug this headset into the normal PC in a college library...quest what happen after that?
buttons for volume stop working I can only use the headset to listen to music now but I cant change any volume or double click to change the song.

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games. Is it hardware or software problem?

I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers. With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan. Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone. I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem. I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

Capture iPhone headset microphone button presses in app?

I'm hoping to create an iPhone app that does several different things depending on input from the iPhone headset. I know the OS can do this (press once to answer/end call, twice to ignore, etc.), but I don't know if the functionality is included in the SDK. Any ideas?

i had the same problem...i reset my iphone by holding the power button and home button down at the same time...when i turned it back on it was working fine

Possible to use iPhone headset mic on 2006 Intel Mac Pro?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the iPhone headset working on a 2006 Intel Mac Pro? Or, are there any adapters that would allow the headset to work? I'd like to use Skype on this machine, but I don't want to have to have a clunky full-on headset for it.
Thanks,
Kristin.
