IPhone Not Charging While On A Call

My iPhone 3G (currently running 3.0) refuses to properly charge while I am on a call. I used to be able to talk and charge at the same time, but lately, it shows the 'charging' symbol for a while and then just switches to 'connected'. The first time it did this, I realized too late and was left with a long and boring commute to work.
I am quite sure it has nothing to do with the update to 3.0, because it started doing this a day or two before I made the upgrade.
I usually connect to my laptop when charging, but I also tried connecting via the wall charger, which resulted in the same problem. I don't think it's a problem with the cord I use; I tried it with my Dad's too and it does the same thing.
The moment I hang up, though, I am able to charge my phone with no interruptions. It continuously shows the charging symbol without randomly switching to just connected.
I have a habit of making long, long phone calls and I like to have a fully charged phone when I leave for work or whatever. Does anyone know what the problem is/might/could be and/or how I could fix it?
Thanks.
Note: I was unsure under which topic this issue would be most appropriate and decided this was the best one. Please don't flame me if I'm wrong.

I've noticed that while I'm streaming content on the 3G network my phone will not charge either.. Even while connected to my laptop it will not charge while streaming. I believe this may have to do with the 3G bandwidth.. Try making your calls while 3G is turned off.. I think it will charge simultaneously and I'm curious to know if this will make a difference.

Iphone not charging from jaguar ipod dock in car

i have a jaguar x-type 2003 with the audio connectivity module added on. It has a dock connector. When I attach my iPhone, it prompts airplaneode and says it is an unsupported device. If I click no to airplane mode, it works through the stereo to listen to music. However, the iPhone does not charge while connected. My iPod does charge when connected. Any thoughts on why this would be? Others have experience with this unit? Any advice?
Thanks!

Reid Wainess,
There are differences between the iPhone and the iPod when it comes to accessories that provide power, or other functions.
I would recomend contacting Jaguar to see if they have certified the dock as "Works with iPhone", if they have, it should work, and could be an issue with the dock or the iPhone.
If they have not, then not being able to charge is one of the possible issues that may arise. This article gives more information on "Works with iPhone"

Hi folks,
i have an apple IPhone4. I am experiencing certain problem with my iphone4. The problems are as follows a. my ear piece and proximity sensor is not working while making a call. 2. It cannot reproduce sound without earphone but rings normally if gets any call.
Can any one help me in this regard??

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.

Battery charges when asleep but will NOT charge while awake

Hello -
By battery will charge when off/asleep but will not charge while awake. It just slowly drains to nothing and dies even though adapter is plugged in. magsafe adapter light is green when open/on and orange when off/asleep and lights on battery indicate charging while in the latter state. still using stock battery that came with computer when I got it a few years ago, so it's not new by any means, but when fully charged lasts as long as it used to. I would think maybe charger is issue, but it DOES charge, just not while awake. not sure why computer wouldn't still work correctly while plugged in if in battery indicator it says power source is "power adapter," but its not. I have tried resetting PMU and calibrating battery. the combo of the two seemed to work when having issue a few months ago, but it just started doing it again. frustrating because once it dies I have to wait several hours until its fully charged again, so it cramps the workflow... any ideas? battery info from profiler below.
Cheers,
Ian

Scott - Your answer ultimately led me to the answer, albeit months later, after much internal deliberation and some trial and error... thanks!
Ruled out battery (as crazy as that sounds - it's had a bajillion cycles) as it didn't make sense that battery would charge but wouldn't work while awake. I have a friend whose battery is completely shot and his still works as long as magsafe is plugged in, and mine wouldn't even do that. tried another adapter and that worked. then tried mine in a different plug. so in the end, turns out I had a bum powerstrip... mag safe / battery recharge works properly when just plugged in somewhere different.
So no need to buy a new charger or battery (yet!)
thanks to all,
Ian

HT4623 person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

when you say "Re-upload the image", do you mean reinsert it, or re-link it?
Neither.
Re-upload it to the web server from your local hard drive. In DW, click on the image file in the Files panel then click the Up arrow to Put the image to the server.
If that does not work, do as Nancy suggests and re-create the image in your image editor then re-upload.

Why is it that my ipad 3rd gen does not charge while connected to my laptop

my ipad 3rd gen will not charge while connected to my laptop, just beside the battery meter it states not charging.

Beacause the USB port of most computers don't supply sufficient current to properly charge it. It is best to charge it using the supplied power supply.

Your signature say iOS4.3.1.
If you have a 3G, you cannot be running 4.3.1
iOS4.3.x and higher requires a 3GS.
While this has no bearing on your current issue... it could cause confusion if you need assistance in the future with other iOS related issues.
Make sure you know which device you have. Identify iPhone models.

My ipad is not charging while connected to any device via usb cable

my ipad is not charging while connected to any device via usb cable

If you mean that you've connected it to a computer's USB port then a lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

You'll want to reset your SMC (System Management Controller). Instructions are simple:

IPhone 5 not charging while plugged in

A Couple days ago my iPhone 5 started to have problems charging; I had to move my phone or the charger chord a certain way to get it to charge. Now my phone will not charge at all. I have tried new outlets and USB charger, but it still won't charge. I need to find a way for it to charge fast because my battery is at 3 percent.

If other chargers don't work, there could be a problem with the lightning port on your phone. You will need to take it to an Apple store to be evaluated.

My iphone 4s will not charge while it is on?

If I turn it completely off It will charge, however once on no matter what charger I use (Iphone, Ipad, car, 2 different docksone sony, one altec-lansing) it will not charge. Any ideas???

Have you done a reset, hold down both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and wait for Apple logo to appear. Then wait for phone to reboot itself.
Are you using a wall charger or a USB charger on your computer?
