Is it better to turn your iphone off when charging?

I had heard that if you charge your phone when it is still turned on, you only get a "trickle charge" which doesn't fully charge the battery. Is there any truth to this?

No, just plug it in and put it in sleep mode if you like...makes no difference.

If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck.

Do you turn your iphone off every day?

I've recently told two friends to turn their phones off for a period of time if the phones are not functioning properly. Has anyone else ever heard this? I thought this was common knowledge!

and you recommend this because turning it off may fix whatever is not functioning?
I recommend a reset instead of a simple power off.
Press and hold both Home & Power untill your see the Apple logo (ignore red power off slider).
No idea when I last turned off my iPhone.

I turned my itouch off when charging and in went into indefinite limbo.

The screen is black with the little spinning wheel in the center. I can't turn it off or on. Any suggestions?

Have you attempted a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
This may take one or two tries.

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.

They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
Let them know that you would like this:

Not sure this is a very useful thing. It would run down the battery. All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked.

I have been told that is not good to turn your Iphone completely off each night!

I have been told that if you turn your iphone completely off every night that it was not good for the phone. Is this factual or not?

Of course it is not true.
Where did you hear such a thing?
My wife and I turn our iphone off every night and have for over 4 years without issue.

What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone?

What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone system?
If you buy a separate conference mic and a speaker, can they somehow work together off the iPhone headphone jack like a huge set of group earphones? What if you want to connect 2 mics and a speaker?
Do you have to be very careful that they can all be attached somehow at the same time?
Are there reasonably priced conference room speakerphone peripherals the work well together that you would recommend?

Why don't you contact Apple and find out? Certainly if you can find your way around the internet to have been able to find this forum, you can certainly find the number for AppleCare.

Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet

Hello,
Can anyone please help me my Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet, especially when i go on to google. When i am on the internet browsing my phone screen just goes blank then i need to turn my phone back on.
This happens all the time and it gets so bad that the internet doesn't turn on and turns its self straight off.
Thanks

You need to go through the basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide:
Restart phone
Reset phone (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
BTW, are you really still using long obsolete iOS 3.0 as your profile states?
Is your phone jb or hacked? In that case, SOL.

When I try to turn my iPhone off, it automatically restarts itself. It has never done this before; does anyone know why it might be doing this/how to stop it happening?

This had happened to me today as well. I gave constantly tried resetting it, (I don't particularly want to restore it), but earlier did you find that your headphones went funny? Mine would stop playing music, but the phone would keep going. And if I paused it, and then pressed play, No sound would come out. And if I took the headphones out while it was paused it would play on the device, but as before, not through the headphones. But, I fixed it (temporarily) by pulling the headphones out while it was playing, and plugged them back it. But normally this would pause the music, and it didn't, just continued on the phone, with no sound coming out of the speakers. And it would only last for a couple of minutes and happen again. Then I tried resetting the phone, and it wouldn't turn off. Them I fixed the turn off problem by placing on a dock, and I think this also fixed the headphone problem. But then I took it off and then on the dock, and now it won't play through the dock (but it charges) and it won't turn off, again!
Also, apples customer serivice is plainly crap. This should be easy to fix. And I shouldnt have to pay a fee to ring them up for service help.

The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

My Internet was messing up so I turned it off and on. It still wouldn't work so I turned my iPhone off and now it won't come back on. What can I do to fix it?

I was trying to fix the internet on my iPhone so I turned it off and back on, then it still wouldn't work so I i turned my iPhone off and now it won't turn back on. Now when it's plugged into the wall or the computer the Apple Logo comes up for about 6 seconds and turns off, then back on for another 6 seconds then turns off again and it just repeats, and it really frustrates me. What can I do to fix it?

I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged. My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons. It worked......would be worth a shot.
