IPhone USB Charger

When I recently got my iPhone I was offered a USB charger as an accessory, which they told me in the o2 shop would charge the phone while it is plugged into my computer. However I've noticed that when I sync my phone normally with say half battery, when I've finished the battery charge icon has gone up suggesting that the phone has in fact been charged! Can anyone clarify?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry should have stated I didn't actually buy the USB charger. Was just wondering why I was being offered it by o2 if the cable that comes with the iPhone does the same job. Just out of interest I was also offered a flip front leather case by o2 for £45..!!! Got a cracking one on e-b-a-y for £7 inc postage, they have a website and can wholly recommend - www.elcell.co.uk
Sorry if posting the website address is against policy.

My Macbook pro is rejecting my Iphone 5 charger. When ever I plug it in it says that the usb is taking to much power, yet when i plug in a different Iphone 5 charger it works fine. I'm just wondering why this is happening and how to fix it?

Do you actually mean the white cable with a lightning plug on one end and a USB on other
If so that is not the charger ,that is the cable
The charger is the device that plugs into the mains socket
If so
cable may be faulty if less than 12 months old take it to Apple Store genius bar for checking

Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
PLEASE HELP>

Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

IPhone not charging via USB

I just got this weird problem today. I have a 2G iPhone running 2.2
1. iPhone is not charging with the USB cable to my MacBook and not recognizing by iTunes, thus I can't sync anymore.
2. I can use the same USB cable to charge the iTouch from my MacBook
3. I can use the same USB vable to charge the iPhone charges via the wall adapter, so this can not be the USB cable.
4. I can use the same USB cable for the iTouch and I see it in iTunes
So, this is not the USB cable nor iTunes. However, if this is hardware issue with the iPhone with charging, how come I can charge it using the wall adapter??
This is very very strange indeed. Would it help if I do a hard reset on the phone? If so, how do I do that as I can not find anything on hard reset in the manual.
help!

I have two USB cables, one for the iPhone and one for the iTouch. Both cables do not work for the iPhone but they work for the iTouch.
Also, I can use both cables to charge the iPhone from the wall charger. My problem is the iPhone does not seem to charge with the same cable plugging into my MacBook and iTunes does not see the device.
My last sync with iTunes was yesterday. This problem just started today. I did a hard reset on the iPhone, no luck.

You can use the iPad charger to charge the iPhone, and it will charge the iPhone faster.

Can I charge my UK iPhone in USA with USA iPhone USB adaptor?

I'm going to the USA for a holiday and I want to know can I charge my UK iPhone 4S with a USA iPhone USB adaptor? I don't want to take my UK iPhone USB adaptor. So can I use the USA iPhone adaptor?

Why would it? ALL iPhones charge using industry standard USB power of 5 volts DC. All iPhone chargers output 5 volts DC.

Can I use the Ipad Wall Adapter and my Iphone USB cord to charge my Iphone 5s?

I heard that the IPad wall adapter will charge an IDevice faster, so I was wondering if I used my IPads wall adapter and my IPhones USB cord to charge my IPhone 5s, will it be okay?

You are welcome. Knowing which chargers are interchangeable helps when traveling, I only carry the iPad charger now since it works fine with the iPhone. The other way around will not work, however. You cannot charge an iPad with an iPhone charger, the power rating is too low.

IPhone USB port - Won't Charge

Today, I visited the apple store in Boulder, CO. to troubleshot my 1st generation iPhone's charging problem. I purchased it new from an apple store in September 2007, and I haven't had any problems until this weekend. Nothing happens when it's connected to the USB charging cable. I tried to connect it to my computer and the USB wall mount adapter, nothing happens. I even tried different cables, and still, nothing happens. It won't charge and it won't connect to the computer, but everything else works fine. It's fully functional except that it's running low on battery power. Earlier today, with nothing plugged into it, a message randomly appeared that said, "this accessory isn't supported by iPhone. Would you like to enable airplane mode?"
At the genius bar, I was informed that the port on the phone wasn't functioning properly, and the only way they were able to charge it, was through a firewire cable. No USB cables were able to connect. 3rd party firewire cables are available, but they don't allow the iPhone to sync with a computer. The phone has been carefully handled it's entire life, and has no signs of damage. This port just quit working. It's definitely defective, not damaged. I was informed that my warranty expired 3 months ago, and I could pay $190 to repair the port, or pay $9 more, FULL PRICE for a new iPhone 3G.
This doesn't sound reasonable to me. If this problem occurred 3 months ago, it would have been repaired or replaced under warranty, no questions asked. But, because it happened 3 months later, it's not covered. I didn't purchase the additional AppleCare plan, because I'm careful with phones, and have never had a catastrophic problem with one before in my life... not to mention, I haven't had any other problems with this phone in the past. There was no reason to believe that it would suddenly fail, due to a hardware malfunction, 3 months after the 1 year warranty expired.
The genius bar employee was very helpful and courteous, but there wasn't anything he could possibly do to help me with a warranty claim. He was able to charge the phone up for me, and referred a 3rd party, mac repair shop, that possibly had more cost effective repair options. I went to the mac repair shop, and was told the entire motherboard would have to be replaced on the phone to charge and connect my phone to iTunes with a USB cable, again. I was told it wouldn't be worth trying to fix. They were able to order a firewire cable for me to temporarily charge my phone, but It's still impossible to ever sync with my computer again.
I called Apple's service and support line to see why Apple couldn’t cover this type of repair. I was finally connected to the support agent, *******. I explained the problem to her, and she gave me the same response as the apple store employees, "you can repair the phone for $190 or get a new one for $199. If this happened 3 months ago, it would have been covered under warranty, or if you purchased the AppleCare plan for it, it would have been covered, too."
Why is it so unreasonable to ask for an exception to be made to the warranty in this case? The rude, cold shouldered response I received from *******, wasn't inline with Apple's brand image of simplicity and service. I work in advertising, surrounded by Apple's core consumers, and have the power to influence my colleagues (your consumers) through word of mouth. We're the early adopters of your newest products and Apple Brand loyalists, but experiences like this one, can tip the scales very quickly...
Why does the quality of your service depend so much on a purchase date? This product barely survived past the halfway point of it’s two year service contract, before it just failed. It wasn’t subjected to abuse, only normal wear and tear. The screen still looks like new and is as clear as the day I bought it, but the partial failure of this simple plug, has rendered the product useless.
There has to be a more reasonable solution to this problem. Please Help.

FYI - this is a user to user help forum only, so you aren't addressing anything to Apple here, and fellow users won't be able to change this for you.
This is unfortunate, but the same applies with the warranty on any product. The warranty begins on the purchase date with every product that I've purchased. It isn't unreasonable to ask for an exception and more than likely exceptions have been made depending on the situation, but if Apple made an exception for you in this situation, where is the line drawn for someone else? If an exception is made 3 months after the warranty expires, what is wrong with making an exception 6 months or a year after the warranty expires? Apple provides a one year warranty on the iPhone with the option to purchase the AppleCare extended warranty anytime prior to the one year purchase anniversary date, which extends the standard one year warranty by an additional year.
I've been a portable computer user since 2000 or so, and I usually purchase the AppleCare extended warranty for my Mac purchase, waiting until the just before the standard warranty period expires - since a portable is subject to more compared to a desktop. I plan on purchasing the AppleCare extended warranty for my iPhone 3G within a month before the one year purchase anniversary date. Something can go wrong 3 months after the AppleCare extended warranty expires or two years after the purchase date which would be covered under the warranty, but at that time I'll be out of luck since the warranty coverage will have expired, and the same for any product I purchase which has a limited warranty period.

Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is

Hello,
Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is sleeping?
I have a Motorola SLVR L7, two BCK-08 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and two iPower Secondary iPhone batteries that all charge from my Powered USB Hub while my main computer is sleeping.
It would seem that my iPhone 3g will not charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer attached to it is sleeping?
Is there any way to get an Iphone 3g to charge from a PoWeReD UsB HuB while the computer it is attached to is sleeping?
I'm thinking in terms of greening things ... but this is making me leave a 170 Watt computer running while I sleep ... I don't use the computer much while asleep ...
Thanks for your time,
Bobby

How 'linux' is OS X?
In linux you can get a lot of USB information by typing "+lsusb -v+"
or through "/proc/bus/usb/devices"
(but they would both list everything connected via USB)
if you knew the vendor and device id you could type as an example
+(laptop:/proc/bus/usb) # lsusb -v -d 050d:805c+
+Bus 001 Device 008: ID 050d:805c Belkin Components+
+Device Descriptor:+
+idVendor 0x050d Belkin Components+
+idProduct 0x805c+
+bcdDevice 0.01+
+iManufacturer 1 Ralink+
+iProduct 2 802.11 n WLAN+
or
/proc/bus/usb/devices
+T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 8 Spd=480 MxCh= 0+
+D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1+

In windows under details it lists the parent ID (port above) so if you found the USB port the iPhone was connected to ... you could find the hardware and vendor id or name of the hub it was plugged in to ...
I'm thinking it might be easier and more positive to start a thread requesting that anyone who has an iPhone that will charge from their computer through a USB Hub while that computer is sleeping ... but I don't know if I can start a thread with a title that long ...

My dad bought a new USB charger for his iPhone 3GS after connecting it it kept restarting I got it to recovery mode but wen restoring I get a msg error (01)

So my dad bought a new USB cable for his iPhone 3GS wen he connected the iPhone to charge he said it turned off n turned on after but then it kept on restarting every 1min.. But it goes to main screen then it restarts over n over I manage to get it into recovery mode n I connected to itune were it asks me to upgrade n restore wen I click ok it starts normal to download n get up to restoring iPhone wen it's about to finish a msg pops up on iTunes saying "iTunes could not restored because an error was detected on iPhone (error 01) .
I tried a whole bunch of times trying to restore but I won't get through at all
Any other ideas would be glad to know I also tried getting out of dfu mode but it just won't .

Is your software up to date? You also should be able to leave DFU mode easier then you get in it. DFU mode means nothing is on your iPhone's screen when restoring.

Charging iPhone using iPad USB charger

Is it possible to charge my iPhone with my iPad USB charger or vice versa - or will this invalidate the warranty?
Thanks

You can and it won't invalidate your warranty. It's compatible with all iPhones... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC359LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

Can't Use iPhone when Plugged into certain USB Charger

The screen becomes completely unresponsive: cant slide the 'unlock' button; it behaves really weirdly, erratically. Same with scrolling and choosing podcasts. The behaviour is just weird. This is with a UK 'triangular' USB charger.The cheaper 'egg-shaped' chargers (with the red LED on them) show no such problem. Anyone know what's going on?

Sounds like a damaged device, take it to Apple for evaluation.
If it's under warranty, they will replace it.
If it's not under warranty, an Out of Warranty replacement is $149US.

A question regarding the iPhone's power USB charger.

Hello, I just want to ask those who know because I'm traveling to Asia and I'll be bringing my phone with me. I'm not going to bring my laptop so I'll be using the charger to charge the phone. My question is can I use the iPhone's charger in Asia? I mean they are using 220 volts over there and I'm not sure if the charger is universal to both 110 and 220 volts. Don't want to blow up my charger and iPhone over there. Please any info would really be of great help. Thanks.

The iPhone charger is universal so you can safely use it anywhere. You may need an adaptor though so that it will fit in Asian wall sockets.
