USB Charging Issue after iOS 7.1.1

I have the iPhone 5 and installed iOS 7.1.1 last week. Since the upgrade, my iPhone won't charge in the USB connector in my vehicle. I have a brand new vehicle this year and everything was working fine prior to the upgrade. I even tried other USB ports in my vehicle and other cords to narrow down my possibilities. Any suggestions?  Thanks.

I have the exact same problem. My iPhone 5S will no longer charge from a Jackery battery pack or my vehicle USB port, using original Apple cables.
I've seen postings here explaining that the charging in 7.1.1 has been made to check the chip in the charging cable, because of people getting electrocuted using off-brand chargers. But it seems that Apple are no checking both the cable and the charger, refusing to charge unless both are Apple branded.
This is in my mind a terrible decision for the user experience, as it means that heavy, loyal and mobile Apple users are a) forced to carry around an Apple charger and b) need to plan their day around the availability of power outlets. My Jackery made sure I could still show my (mobile app based) train ticket and surf the web on the train ride home, even though I had not charged during the day. No more, it seems. Also, forget about using your iPhone on multi-day wilderness treks. No mains power? No iPhone for you.   
My reason for buying Apple was to accept restricted choice in return for a superior user experience. This is restricted choice AND a poorer experience. Seriously, guys, you can do better.
My entire family is Apple-based now, but if this does not change our next communications devices won't start with an "i".

  • IPad2 charging issues after iOS7 upgrade

    I recently upgraded iOS7 in my iPad 2, after the upgrade I find that the charging time has increased greatly!  Not sure if this was due to using the iPad while charging. Yesterday left iPad2 for charging all through the night and more (12-14 hrs) only to find this has charged only 3%. The charging issues seems to have degraded over time. I had atleast charged fully (100%) once after iOS7 upgrade-which also took a lot time than iOS6.
    All the charging I did was over wall Unit, with original chargers. I see from forums that this seems to be experienced by few more users. Anyone found any solution to this problem?
    I have tried resetting, switching off the iPad 2 while charging with no success. I'm now regretting having upgraded to iOS7- which I liked. This is not what I expected from Apple.

    I also have a Mac Air 2012, tried charging from Mac Air and it's now charging! Mac Air is now charging from the same wall unit location which I used for iPad 2 - so nothing wrong with the wall unit. 
    I just wish i could charge as fast from wall unit as with iOS 6.  Any further guidance is greatly appreciated.

  • Usb charging issue

    my incredible charges fine plugged into a wall charger, but when I plug it into my computer to usb charge it cycles through charging/not charging, and it also seems to be an issue with my car charger, I thought the charger was bad but the issue seems to be happening now with my computer also..
    any clues?

    I went into the verizon store and they told my my phone was no good and I need to replace it, I had a real hard time believing that to be the case and with nothing to lose I played around with the power cables.
    I took a pair of needle nose pliers and lightly squeezed the end of the mini usb cable and the problem is solved.
    Very disapointed with the verizon store trying to just sell me a new phone, and not even trying to have me try a new car/usb charger.

  • Pages having Korean font issues after iOS 7 update.

    iWork on my ipad and iphone cannot handle Korean font after iOS 7 update.  It displays Korean correctly in those documents I created before the recent iOS 7 update, but breaks down as soon as I try to edit them.  Anyone has the same problem with international fonts?  Is there anyway to fix the problem? Is it an iWork issue or the iOS 7 issue?  It certainly does not look like a hardware issue, because other apps work fine indeed.

    You should report this to Apple (as others have):

  • Does anyone solved wifi issue after ios 6 or 6.1.2 or 6.1.3?

    My wifi works intermitently. sometimes it is grayed out, sometimes it is just searching network. I dont know how this issue has come? This all started after ios 6.1.2. and ios 6.1.3 didnt fix it for me. Have done all reset or restoration as a new device but with no success. I think apple is going to bite the dust very soon if this continues. Please note the router is woking fine coz i m running new ipad on ios 6.1.2 and there is no issue with wifi. Should i wait for ios next update or get the wifi module fix.? this is what i was told by one person who does all phone repair work.
    Suggest something concrete. i am without wifi since last 1.5 months now. Apple is just ignoring the problem. does anybody solved this issue after multiple software updates ? The problem is my warranty is gone in January itself. and i have purchased this phone from USA and i live in india.

    See if this helps

    if not, it is hardware failure. Apple provides warrantee support for iPhones only in the country of sale.

    my iphone 4 issues are as follow after ios 5 update:

    can anyone help?

    You probably haven't "lost" the zoom feature on your iPhone 4, you probably missed that you now activate it using the pinch to zoom rather than tapping on the screen...

  • Volume issues after ios 5.0.1 update

    i recently updated from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1 and today i observed that the volume went low while listening to songs and i did a hard reset and now things have started to work fine.but what is the permanent solution for this?any one who is facing this issue?

    While wifi connection is never good on ipad according to my experiecne, the situation is worsend after ios 5.0.1. It takes approximatley 2 to 3 minutes for me to connect to the home router, (it took 30 secs at most in the past). When I go out for outdoor wifi, the hotspots of some internet service providers can never be connected, the refreshing circles keeping spinning for 3 to 5 minutes and nothing happen.
    The bottom line is, battery life seems to run longer than before, but I don't think it is an acceptable trade-off.

  • Acura USB Connection Problems After iOS 8.2 Update

    I have a 2014 Acura MDX and prior to the iOS 8.2 update, I could play music either via Bluetooth or the USB connection through the iPod "source" (though the USV connection had far superior sound).  After the update, the USB connection doesn't work anymore. Same cables used and the iPhone picks up a charge so it is not a bad connection. Anyone else having the same issue?

    this happens also to me. Opel Astra / GM version in Europe.
    8.2 totally killed audio via USB cable. Connecting results in "no supported audio files found"

  • Anyone having charging issues after 4.3.3 (device not supported)?

    I get this message after a few min. of connecting USB cord (already tried it with wall adapter and also directly into computer - 2 different cables). A co-worker is having the same problem.

    I've also had this issue with charging since upgrading to iOS 4.3.1  Actually upgrading to 4.3.2 and then to 4.3.3 has not solved the charging problem.  Here's my story:
    I own an iPhone 3GS and started noticing error messages with 4.3.1 such as "charging is not supported with this accessory".  I've tried differnent USB cables and chargers (Apple and non-Apple), hooking up to computers and wall outlets.  I get the same message.  As a last resort I restored my device as a new phone (syncing works oddly) and erasing everything.  This did not help the situation.
    So yesterday I took my 3GS to the Apple Store and they were kind enough to replace my iPhone with a new (refurbished) 3GS under AppleCare. That was awesome - I love Apple. However, that didn't fix the problem
    So now I'm not sure what to do accept wait for a new iOS version and hope Apple addresses this problem.  Anyone else have a similar experience?

  • Powered USB charging issue

    I purchased a Dynex powered USB hub. It's a four port hub and works fine for my M-Audio interface, my iPod Touch 5th gen, iPod Classic... basically anything I plug into it. However, when I plug in my iPad2 it connects to iTunes fine and transferring files is okay, but a message pops up beside the battery icon saying "iPad not charging".
    If I unplug the powered USB hub from the wall all the other devices continue to work, but now the iPad is completely unrecognized.
    I've tried resetting the iPad and unplugging all the other devices.
    It's a drag having this hub in an easy to reach location and still having to reach over to my MacBook in the farthest corner of my desk to plug in my iPad.
    Any thoughts/suggestions? Is this common? Should I try another hub at the risk of waisting more money?
    Thanks for any feedback.
    MacBook 2008 latest Lion, iPad2 (late model) latest IOS 6

    The power output from the hub is not the required 10W to charge the iPad (it is charging, but very slowly).
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Iphone 3G Charging issues after software upgrade

    I recently upgraded my iphone 3G software to 3.0.1. Things were working just fine until this morning when i tried charging my phone by plugging it to a wall socket. I was surprised to learn that my phone would not charge. I then plugged it via USB to my computer and it started charging. I tried the following steps to resolve my phone's problem:
    1. reset my phone settings;
    2. hard reset; and
    3. disable push for my accounts.
    Despite following these steps, my phone would still not charge through an electrical outlet. Although it seems like a consolation that my phone would still charge via USB, I find it very inconvenient to lug my laptop around and open it every time I need to charge my phone. Hope to hear from those who have successfully dealt with this problem. Thanks in advance.

    I have a similar issue - w/two different variants.
    Charging was an issue before and after upgrade.
    And the phone will charge if I try different outlets (sometimes as many as 4 or 5 which I think might be due to different circuit breakers) - once I get it working in one, then I can go back to the first outlet and the phone will charge when I plug it in.
    I was about to post this concern in a separate thread (and still will) because this is a huge issue when I travel. I did swap my wall adapter without any change. My wife ALSO has the same issue with her 3G iPhone.
    FRUSTRATING -
