Repeated chime when charging iPhone via mains power

When attempting to charge my iPhone 4s with mains power I get a repeated chime, and the phone will not charge. However, when using the same USB cable, and charging via a USB port the phone charges normally, without the repeated chimes

Yes, I'm using the original adapter. I confess I haven't checked for lint etc but will do so. I am able to recharge my iPad, using the same adapter and the USB-Lightning cable, in the same socket. I am currently using the original charging cable connected to a powered USB socket and the iPhone is charging normally.
Should add that I took the phone in to my nearest Genius bar 2 weeks ago after experiencing problems on voice reception during phone calls (though my voice seemed to be received OK by recipients). Problem appears to have been solved by a restore to factory settings reset. Probably unconnected with current issue.

Charging iPhone via USB vs. FireWire

My iPhone charges fine when plugged into my computer via USB cable. However, it doesn't seem to charge when plugged in using the iPhone-to-Firewire cable. Is there a reason for this or do I have a faulty cable? Thanks for any help.

The iPhone has different power requirements for changing that Firewire does not use.

When charging iPhone

When I was in the office charging my iPhone using my computer there is a sudden power failure that causes my computer force to shut down and now my Phone can't charge at all

You need to force your iPhone into recovery mode and set it up again from the bac-up. Follow this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Cannot charge iPhone via non-computer USB

My iPhone charges fine when plugged into a computer or when the cable is plugged into the AC brick that came with the phone. However, I have a few other power sources with USB jacks that the iPhone seems to not charge on. A 30 GB iPod does charge on these devices.
One example is a Xantrex Xpower Powersource Mobile Mini. It's one of those pocket size things with a Li battery inside that can be charged by AC or DC (car). It has a USB port that then provides 5V for charging cell phones, etc. The device works: it charges a 30 GB iPod and RAZR phone with no problems. When I plug in the iPhone, the iPhone does not show the charging battery.
Is this known behavior? Does the iPhone expect the data lines on a USB port to be "official"? The spec shows pull up/down resistors on both. The AC brick from Apple might include these to keep its port in spec????
Anyone having similar issues?
TIA

Thanks for the reply, even if it is less than encouraging.
We do use an inverter in the car sometimes, and I have another semi-portable power source with a built-in inverter that we use the AC brick. However, the Mobile Mini (similar in intent to Griffin TuneJuice sold in Apple's on-line store) is for extended power on airplanes, trains, buses, etc., where there may not be a power source and where the device is especially useful for passing time.
Question: does iPod touch has similar behavior?

Does WiFi stay connected when charging iPhone

I've noticed lately that when I wake my iPhone from standby when it is plugged into a power source (charger or usb on my computer) that the WiFi connection is already there (the phone has been on standby overnight in the case of the charger). I get the impression that the iPhone is maintaining the WiFi connection when it has external power, but have not seen any references to this behavior. I have noticed this since at least 3.1, don't remember if earlier or not.
My iPhone is up to date with OS 3.2.1.
This is not a problem, just curious if anyone else is seeing this behavior?

Just wanted to throw what I have seen in. I have an AEBS in my house. When my phone is in low power mode with screen dark and I wake it up, the symbol moves from 3G to Wi-fi symbol. When I open my Airport Utility, it shows me the number of users. Unless I actually have Safari on the iphone open and running, it only shows one user (my MBP). When I open Safari on my iphone, then I show 2 users. If I close Safari, it moves back to one user...

When charging iPhone, cannot get calls

Hi there,
I realized as I am charging my iPhone after installing Snow Leopard, my phone won't take calls and is unavailable, thus flies straight to my voice messages. Also I tested SMS to my own phone using my wife's phone, still no messages until I unplug.
This is very inconvenient, and also takes about 10 minutes after unplugging before I start getting my messages.
Is there some fix for this? Or did I accidently pressed some function on iTunes or on my iPhone to not take calls when phone is charging...?
Thanks
Cal

Hi generalstudies;
You might get more responses if you would post over on the iPhone forum instead of the Snow Leopard forum.

But when I take the phone to electrical outlet it stops the loop and charge normally

A charging battery of any kind gets warm. That is quite normal.

Charging iPhone via Airport Express...

Hello all...
I just plugged my iPhone into the USB port on my Airport Express to see if it would charge, and so far, no problems. Has anyone else charged their iPhone this way? Any problems? I've had issues charging via Firewire in the past but since the AE has a USB port I figured I'd give it a try.

Thanks Henry!
Not sure about that genius part though...but thanks just the same. I've had my iPhone charging for about two hours now and so far, no problems. No heat issues or anything. I think it'll work just fine.
Best regards,
Mike.

White flare when unlocking iPhone via TouchID

Hi there...
I just noticed that every time I unlock my iPhone 5s via TouchID there is a white flare at the top left of the screen.
The flare is definitly software-related an not a hardware problem - as I am able to screenshot it using iOS.
I tried to reboot the phone, close all apps, disable and re-enable TouchID, change contrast and so on. I did not restore my iPhone yet - I hope there is another solution.
Anyway, does anyone maybe has a helping tip for me? My iPhone is currently running iOS 7.0.4 - the flare only displays when using TouchID. When unlocking via passcode or 'slide to unlock' it does not show.
Thank you all and have a nice day.
Steve

Ok, I found the problem by myself and it seems to be a bug in the firmware:
If the 6th icon on the homescreen has a relatively long caption then the problem appears. I for myself have the reminders there BUT my phone is set to German so it says "Erinnerungen". I also tried it with the settings app which says "Einstellungen" in German.
I reported the bug 15533799.

Battery icon never full when charging iPhone with iTunes 8.2

I'm 99% sure this just started happening with iTunes 8.2
It's pretty minor as things go, but still annoying. After charging, my iPhone shows fully charged both with the large Battery while docked and on the little icon in the upper right corner of the iPhone.
However, the iTunes icon still shows the lightning bolt.
The iTunes icon does progress from being empty to full during the charging process, but never gets to the point where the full "plug" replaces the charging "lightning bolt"
Is anyone else experiencing this with an original iPhone?
One thing I did consider is that if iTunes 8.2 is being released in advance of the next gen iPhone and that device has a larger capacity battery, the iTunes might not think an older iPhone is completely charged when, in fact, it is. This seems a bit far fetched to me, but would be a bug nonetheless.
Please pass along your experiences here...

More information....
I left my iPhone docked after the iPhone itself indicated that it was fully charged.
About three hours after the iPhone displayed the completed charge plug, the iTunes charging icon finally changed from lightning bolt to plug.
Bottom line, either the iPhone displays a charge complete icon too early, or iTunes does too late.
Now, I'm starting to wonder if my formerly far fetched idea about iTunes being, umm, tuned more towards the next gen iPhone's batter may not have been that far fetched.
Anyone else?
