Question on Charging Iphone

Hello everyone I recently purchased an Iphone and love it! My question is whether or not charging the Iphone with a regular Ipod USB cord is bad, or harmful to the battery, or should I stick to using just the USB cord that came with the phone? Any help or input would be appreciated.
Thanks

using any sync cable connecting to the computer is all in the same IMO. but use caution when using older wall chargers. the power outputs are different(in most cases higher) on the older ones, which runs the risk of frying the battery. i remember reading a discussion where someone used an older ipod charger and the phone got really hot and eventually was unusable. i have an older ipod mini charger, which i was brave enough to test, but only for short periods at a time (5-10 min intervals).

  • Question about Charging iPhone 5

    Hi I bought an iPhone 5 in New York and the charger does not fit the country where I live (Europe) and my question is it possible to use the charger of the iPhone 4?
    Tensions of the charges are the same?
    Or should buy an adapter and use the iPhone 5 charger?

    Indeed both the output and the input, but I notice that the charge of the iPhone 4 tends to warm up a bit more than necessary, and composing my dishonest trunk of the iPhone 4 iPhone 4 in the past that did not happen.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • How to charge iphone 5 correctly

    Hi everyone,
    So Apple says to do a full cycle charge once a month (charge iphone from 0% to 100% and then do a reset) right?!
    But during everyday use should I charge the phone for bit during the day? Or just charge every night before going to bed?
    When the 20% alert shows you must charge the iphone to avoid a complete cycle charge?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    The purpose of the full cycle charge is to recalibrate the battery gauge. Lithium chemistry batteries are notoriously hard to manage, because their voltage does not drop linearly with state of charge, as most other secondary cells do. So the battery gauge monitors battery charge going in and battery drain going out, and computes the remaining life from this. But the battery's capacity drops with age, and the calculation isn't perfect. So after a while the gauge no longer knows what the state of charge actually is. The most obvious symptom of this is when the phone suddenly shuts off well above 1% remaining. When you run the battery all the way down, then charge fully, the charging circuit in the phone can re-establish the end points.
    Anyway, the answer to your question is charge it whenever you want, except that you should periodically run it all the way down, then fully charge it (once a month, as Apple suggests). But not every day. According to Apple this does not affect the total lifetime of the battery.
    Oh, one other point. The iPhone will not let you deep discharge the battery. When it shuts off at 1% there is still significant charge left. It's unusable charge, except to keep iOS alive. If you fly a plane there are 2 numbers you need to know - total fuel capacity, and useable fuel capacity, which is always lower. Same with Lithium batteries in electronics.

  • I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

  • Where can I view charges made in the iOS App Store using my Apple ID? I am questioning some charges but want to see some kind of receipt or invoice for charges made in the App Store.

    I am questioning some charges that have been made against my Apple ID account using the App Store.  Where can I find a statement of my account to see what the charges on my bank statement correlate Toni the App Store?

  • Charging iPhone with closed lid on mbp

    I've been researching, but found nothing this specific so far. Related links:
    - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476 - This says it may or may not charge
    - http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/72536-snow-leopard-not-charging-iphone-while-lid -closed.html - This says it should work since Leopard and if it's not working to reset the SMC should fix it (I haven't tried yet): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=795007 This is not the same model, but for him it seems to not work anyway
    - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2126178 Suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 for dealing with closed lid, but requires external display, among other things that don't come to this case (or so I guess)
    To me, experience showed that closing the lid with the iPhone already connected works fine. I'm using a macbook pro 2009, as already hinted elsewhere. It's 13'' if that makes any difference.
    But if I have the computer sleeping in the bag and want to just plug the iPhone for charging convenience, then it doesn't work. I have to remove it, open the lid, wait for charging to begin, then I can safely close, sleep, put it back on the bag, and it will be charging.
    So I wonder how this is supposed to work, and if I can "fix" this behavior. Anyone knows?

    I actually solved it on my own luck. Oddly enough, just need to remove and re-plug.
    Here, this is a small chart:
    1- Computer with lid open, up and running with energy - whatever AC or not.
    normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
    2- Computer with closed lid, sleeping as blinking light indicate and plugged in AC power.
    normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
    3- Computer with closed lid for long time, unplugged from AC power, no cables on it whatsoever.
    plug in iPhone - nothing happens.
    unplug it and plug in again in either port - it starts charging!
    If you close the lid and don't wait it gets to sleep (that is, white blinking light - if you want to be sure, wait till the computer cools down, if it was hot - that's sleep mode) you'll get normal behavior right on the first plug time. The trick of plugging again seem to work always from my tests. So this is a undocumented feature that took me freaking long enough to uncover!
    Now it's aight!

    I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
    If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.

    The hotels I stayed in during my visit to the Holy Land had a plug for electric razors which has the same plug used in the US. With that I didn't even need the adapter.

    Alejandro,
    Send yourself a test message and see what the response time is.
    Is your e-Mail system a push type or a poll type.
    If it is a polling type, there will be a delay because there is a timed polling sequences (that you can control to a degree)
    In Settings/Mail look for 'Fetch' to see how it is setup.

  • Unable to charge iPhone 5

    unable to charge iPhone 5 cleaned out the charging point and even had a new battery fitted

    The iPhone charger is 5W while the iPad charger is 10W. Do neither work to charge the iPhone or iPad? Since you can charge (slowly) via the computer, the cable is good.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
