IPhone 5 Lightning Connector.

I have the iPhone 5 and the problem is with the Lightning connector.
When I charge my phone or use the phone during charge, and when I am handling the phone while charging, the lightning connector makes the phone come on and off charge constantly. it keeps switching between charging and not charging, like the connection is loose or something, any ideas why its doing this or how to fix it?

That sounds like a faulty cable...take the iPone, charger and cable to an Apple store and have the techs check them out.

  • Iphone 5 Lightning connector sparks when inserted into Iphone

    I have an Iphone 5, which I usually charge at my desk off my PC.
    Today i've noticed a tiny spark when I insert the cable into the phone.
    I use the iphone cable that came with the phone.
    Has anyone else seen this and is it normal ?

    Yes I've tried multiple ones and none work. My boyfriend's iPhone 5 and my brother's all work either way the charger is turned.

  • Any problems with lightning connector?

    New 5c charged only twice and now lightning connector feels loose and wont charge.

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby taking the cable along with the iPhone. All package contents are included with the iPhone's warranty if determined to be a problem with the cable. If determined to be a manufacturing problem with the iPhone's lightning connector port, the iPhone will be exchanged.

  • IPhone 5 won't charge when plugged into lightning connector one way but if it flips then it works

    My iPhone 5 won't charge when it's plugged into the lightning connector one way but if I flip it then it works. It's not my charger because it's the same way with other chargers. What's wrong with my phone?

    Yes I've tried multiple ones and none work. My boyfriend's iPhone 5 and my brother's all work either way the charger is turned.

  • I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning)

    I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning). I would be glad to get your help.

    If you get the 30 pin dock get an Apple genuine adapter the rip-offs often do not work correctly
    If you buy a lightning dock a company called Sandberg makes the reverse adapter ,I have one and it works correctly
    As tonefox said i got the sandberg from Amazon

  • I have difficulty charging my iphone 5. The nearest service center said that there are missing pins in my lightning connector.

    My phone is still under warranty but the service center said that it is voided due to the missing pins inside the lightning connector.  What do i do with this? My phone can charge but you need to press on the cord a little for it to click.  My cord is not the issue because I just bought it and it is brand new.

    Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Will Apple make a 30-pin to lightning connector that will work with a case?

    Why did Apple make the 30-pin to lightning connector useless when you have a case on your iPhone 5/5s? The lightning connector part isn't long enough to fit inside when using Apple's own cases (i.e. the new leather cases for the 5s). Does anyone know if there are plans to correct this mistake and lengthen the connector?

    From the reviews on Apple's site, the cabled adaptor does NOT work with Apple's own case - the lightning plug is too fat :-(

  • Lightning connector problem

    I picked up my iPhone 5 yesterday and after getting it home and starting the long task of tranfering my thousands of songs onto the device, I noticed that there seems to a problem witht the Lightning connector. Most times when inserting the connector into the phone, there is no connection ie. no pluged in tone and unable to sync. I have found that by placing a slight downward pressure to the plug I can get it to start syncing, then after releasing the pressure it disconnects itself. I repeat, that this happens most, but not all of the time. Is anyone else noticing this or maybe I just need to try a new cable (which are not available in the HK apple store)
    Cheers

    I have gone through about 3 lightning connector cables over the last year.  They initially work, but later they go bad. 
    They start having the same symptoms described above where the cable will sometimes charge if you reverse it or press down on the cable.  Over time, they just stop working.  When connected via USB to my computer, I started getting an error message indicating that the device was not working properly and the computer stopped recognizing the device as an iPhone.
    Replacing the cable fixed the problem, but I'm wondering if there is a way to get the non-functional cables to work again or maintain them so they last longer.
    One thing I noticed is that over time the center gold connection wire turns black in color, as if it was burnt as the phone was charging.  I tried using an eraser to get the black stuff off to no avail.  I will try a Q-tip with alcohol next.  Wish there was a documented quick fix or maintenance plan for keeping the cables functional.

  • Are any radio/alarm clock docking stations with a lightning connector coming out soon?

    I've had the iPhone 5 for a while now, and I've been waiting for a product like the iHome to come out with the lightning connector.  However, I haven't heard or seen any news about this.  Is anybody aware of any products coming out?

    iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:

  • Lightning connector issue

    New iPhone 6 with Lightning connector .
    I have Spigen neo hybrid iPhone 6 case
    The lower port Has thicker bottom frame that make connecting Apple's Lightning to 30-pin Adapter impossible.
    Any advise how to solve the issue ?
    Thanks !

    Has anyone found a solution to this scenario?   Equipment:  iPhone 6 plus, slim case cover, eKey supra and Apple adapter.  Problem:  The adaptor pin is too short (or the adaptor plastic is too wide) for the pin to be able to reach and connect.  To remove the phone case every time I want to use the adapter is not an ideal situation.  Thank you in advance! 

  • Is there an extension cable (lightning male to lightning female) that will work on audio? i have a lifeproof case on my phone and I cannot connect to my BOSE Speaker that has the lightning connector.

  • Lightning connector and Steering wheel controlls?

    Its a fact that the lightning connector supports Analog audio Out and usb audio out, so thats great!
    but what about steering wheel controlls? are those still working?
    im connecting my iphone over usb with my car audio system.
    cant seem to find that answer anywhere on the internet!

    My 3GS integrated with the steering wheel controls on my 2011 Nissan Versa Sport, but it was slow, and sometimes it would take a couple of tries for the stereo to "see" the connection.
    With the 30-pin to Lightning cable, my iPhone 5 is integrating perfectly, plus it's faster and works first time, every time. I don't know if it's my imagination, but it seems like the sound is a little crisper, too.
    The Apple store advised that I had 2 weeks to try the adapter, with a no-questions-asked return policy. Best thing to do, is try it and see!
