Issues with using aftermarket 2G chargers with the iphone

I was using my iphone 3GS last night and battery was over 90% I had just gotten done shooting some video and I was on my PC trying to figure what I needed to do to upload the video to YouTube. I pulled iPhone out of my pocket it was completely dead. I tried soft reset and hard reset with no luck. I thought maybe I had misread how charged the battery was and it had just died. When I got home I plugged it and let it charge overnight on an aftermarket charger. When I woke up this morning same thing. No power, no response( I tried plugging it into the wall and into the USB port of my laptop) I also tried soft reset and hard reset again this morning still no luck. I had been using an after market home charger that I had purchased with my original iPhone 2g. It seemed to work with no problems on the new phone and I had used it everynight for the last week or so.
As a last resort I put my iPhone in a new case-mate charger/holster I had just purchased and finally it gives me the battery charging icon. My conclusion is that the after market charge I have will work OK for charging a low battery to full again but if the phone is completely dead then maybe only an original charger will work. The problem is I have USB cables and home charges and car chargers from my iPhone 2g and my iPod touch and I assumed they would all work and were interchangeable but now I am not so sure. I am also stumpped as to how my battery could say 90% and 2 hours latter the phone is compelty dead. The only things I had done was turn on location services ( I was messing around with an app I downloaded (Zillow) and used the camera for less than 5 minutes and made 2-3 calls. Maybe the case-mate holster charger I had used ealier in the day had given a false full charge, I am not really sure at this point I am still trying to sort out the issue.

Apple changed the pin configuration with the 3G on phones ,ipod and itouch back in 2008
They removed the firewire charge option new kit is now not compatible with older
options that charge
ie 3G or 3Gs for that matter will not charge on original Bose Sound dock or Apple
docks for starters

    trying to sync iphone 4 and itunes keeps coming up with "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"?

    Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
    Anyone know of a solution?
    I reported it to Apple on the feedback page, but, I'm pretty convinced that Apple doesn't listen to or read their feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

  • Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

    Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
    Cheers all.

    There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.

  • Is there an issue with using a local copy of the WSDL versus a direct connect to Configure Web Service

    I would like to build a WS connector to RemedyForce (~ Salesforce).  I am attemptling to use the configuration tool to buid the MSCONFIG file.  Salesforce does not let you connect directly to a wsdl file. you have to download a static copy. 
    This would seem fine using a "file://" path as the url - but as soon as I attempt to configure any import/synch the utility crashes.  My assumption is it is attemping to reach a true webservice and using file location is not cutting
    it.

    I don't see any issue in downloading the static copy.  Even if you were allowed to connect to the wsdl directly or add it as a service reference in Visual Studio then you would have to manually update that reference.  In closing, you aren't losing
    any functionality by downloading the static copy.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with using SSXA region templates with Content Presenter.

    I am using Content Presenter taskflow in Webcenter Portal. When i try to use the SSXA region template with content presenter, it doesnot render the html markup. But if i use normal UCM region templates(hscp), its rendering the html markup properly.
    Http Server acts as a proxy for both webcenter and ucm. Enabled SiteStudio, SiteStudioforExternalApplications, Webcenter Configure and other required features in Webcenter. Can any one tell me, if i missed any step?
    All i am getting the output as
    ${data.body}

    taskFlowId="/oracle/webcenter/doclib/view/jsf/taskflows/presenter/contentPresenter.xml#doclib-content-presenter"

         ${data.body}
    </jsp:root>
    This uses one region definition containing WYSIWYG element. I am able to edit and could type the html markup or data in WYSIWYG editor at contribution mode, but when i click save and close, all i am getting output as ${data.body}
    I manually verified the data file in UCM, and i could see the information stored (the data entered in contribution mode)

    Prasath,
    I'm not 100% sure but i believe that WebCenter does not support everything from the WCM tags. You can read the topic on SSXA on the WebCenter EMG:
    https://groups.google.com/group/webcenter-emg/browse_thread/thread/2ef9cca0252a0ae3
    Just a quote:
    "With the 11.1.1.4 release, WebCenter is very much targeted at the type of sites that would have previously been done using the WCM components (eg. Extranet, Internet sites). By surfacing the site studio region templates (and allowing in place editing of the documents) many of the use cases can be met. The question now is not whether,or not, the native templating + region support is sufficient for your needs (WebCenter does not support all the WCM artefacts as yet). "

  • TS3682 i had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, i installed iTunes but i couldnt sync with my iTunes it didnt see the iPhone, i got a new iPhone 5C and up dated it via iCloud and still my computer will no sync with the phone, again it fails to see it

    Hi
    I had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, I installed iTunes to it but my new computer refused to sync with my phone, i backed up my phone via icloud and purchased tracks etc from iTunes, but now i have a new iPhone 5C and I backed it up via the icloud, not all data was transfered, music etc.
    Again my computer will not sync with the new phone, it doesnt see the phone within my libary, doesn't give an option to do any thing with phone
    Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • Existing Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message on the iPhone after iOS 6

    After the IOS 6 update on my iPhone the Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message. Each time I try to log in I receive the message that the password or the user is not right. But they are, because on all other devices and all other parts of the iPhone (iCloud, AppStore, iTunes) they are working. Other Apple IDs are working fine.
    What's wrong? Any idea?
    Thanks

    Blue
    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • Can anyone help with using My Book World with Mac Book?

    I've finally got my macbook to see the MyBookWorld in the finder (after many many "connect to the server" attempts) but I still can't figure it out-
    1- I can't access the Public or Download folders, I get "Unexpected error code -8059".
    2- I can't drag my music, movies or pictures onto it.
    3- Time Machine does not see the MyBookWorld as a device to back up to.
    4- How do I access my MyBookWorld through the web interface? Do I need to do or change something in there and that would fix everything? I feel like there is just one piece of the puzzle I'm missing to get it all set up right....
    Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Time Machine doesn't work well, if at all, with most NAS devices. See the pink box in #2 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    WD claims it will work: http://wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf
    but there are a number of posts, mostly in the +Time Machine+ forums, by folks having problems. Support is difficult, because WD isn't expert in Time Machine's workings, and Apple isn't expert in WD's workings.

  • Problems with using my iPod feature on my iPhone 3GS after upating to iOs 4.3.3 Help!

    After I updated to version 4.3.3 I am unable to use my iPod on my iPhone. It says I must sync to iTunes before I can use it. I have my music on two different computers in 2 different cities so I am afraid if I sync to one library I will lose half of my music on the phone.
    When I looke in "Settings", "About" on the iPhone it says I have 1,463 songs but yet nothing comes up in my 'iPod. Very frustrating.
    Please help! Thank you.

    Well, I was able to get it to sync by opening iTunes first, and THEN connecting the iPhone.  And it does sync but still will not sync with iPhoto.  I also unchecked and rechecked the option to "Open iTunes automatically when this iPhone is connected" and now iTunes opens and syncs automatically.  But tried the same thing with iPhoto to no avail.
    Any ideas for iPhoto syncing?

  • I restore my iphone with icloud but when I disconect the iphone i lose my contacts again what can i do?

    I lost my contacts on my iphone 4, I've tried several times to restore them with a copy from icloud using itunes, once the iphone is restored i can see the contacts and use them  but when I disconect the iphone  the contacts are errased again. What can I do?

    Have you checked the cable ? Try another one as well as the charger.  Look for any dirt or fluff in the docking port where the cable fits. If it still does not work, take it to an Apple store and get them to check it out.

  • Slow WI-FI transfer using native YouTube application on the iPhone 3G

    Hello all,
    I have seen several posts similar to the one that I'm making now, but since my newest discovery brings a small twist to the issue when compared to the other cases, I decided to make a new thread.
    My issue is with the native YouTube application for the iPhone 3G, as it is mysteriously slow. A lot of people mention that lowering the router to B/G standards will remedy the issue. However, I do not think this issue is related to this because when I launch Safari on the iPhone and go to apple.com/trailers the speed is lightning fast. I did some WI-FI comparison testing:
    PC: XP Pro SP3 running all drivers at newest releases incl. updating motherboard firmware.
    iPhone 3G: Firmware v2.1
    Connection: 10 Mbit/2 Mbit
    Safari cookies, history, and cache cleared after each attempt on both iPhone and PC. Also, I closed Safari, ran CCleaner (just to make sure all temporary data was gone), and reopened Safari on the PC while Powercycling the iPhone 3G between each attempt.
    Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psYClvuONG4
    Length: 1 min. 45 sec.
    Load time on PC using Safari: roughly 25 sec.
    Load time on iPhone using Safari: roughly 4 (FOUR!) min. 30 sec.
    After this I directed Safari on both iPhone and PC at:
    Movie: http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/splinter/
    Length: 1 min. 38 sec.
    Load time on PC using Safari: roughly 5 sec. (for the small size as iPhone format does not seem to be available when browsing with a PC)
    Load time on iPhone using Safari: Roughly 10 sec.
    I do not know what is going on here. Do the size and/or compression of the two movie formats differ so much from each other that this could explain the normal transfer speed via apple.com/trailers? Or is there an issue with the YouTube application? Maybe the YouTube conversion system? Could it be a routing and/or hardware (on either ISP, ISP carrier or YouTube itself) issue in case there are "localized portals" for YouTube depending on the user's geographical location?
    In general, speed is not an issue. Performing speed tests towards a localized server in Denmark using my iPhone give excellent results compared to the connection speed I am paying for, and I do not have issues surfing elsewhere via the iPhone. It is only when I use the native YouTube application on iPhone 3G that my transfer rates are poor.
    I really want to solve this problem before I go nuts...
    Best regards

    About a week ago YouTube stopped connecting on my iPhone 3G -- as far as I know nothing changed on my end. The YouTube application seems to function normally, bookmarked videos are still there and play, for example, but it will not update, not search, etc. I get a message that YouTube is not available.

  • Macbook Pro use H.264 Format like the iPhone?

    Hi
    I know this may sound like a silly question, but I was wondering if MacBook Pro use the H.264 format like the iPhones and iPads do?
    I know that iphone and iPad have the H.264 Format in them as you can watch youtube videos on them.
    I am thinking of Macbook Pro something next and I really hate Flashplayer.
    Thanking you in advanced for the reply.

    I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support.  Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences.  Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
    A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key).  I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility.  The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
    Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.
