Will not charge with 3rd party chargers when asleep

My iphone 3g does not charge when plugged into a 3rd party charger and the phone is asleep. I can confirm that its not charging because the phone is still out of battery even after being plugged in overnight, and the griffin charger has a LED indicator that shows if its actively charging or not. I tired this with both a Griffin iphone charger and a Belkin charger.
When waking up the phone though, it of course shows that its charging. It took me a while to figure out that it wasnt chargin when it was asleep.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Do these chargers say that they are made to work with iphone?
The iphone 3g does not charge via firewire pins as the original did. This could be your problem.
There are many posts on charging issues due to firewire compatibility. You can do a forum search to find out more.

  • IPod 30GB will not work with 3rd party USB 2.0 PCI card

    I've had an IOGear PCI USB 2.0 card (GIC220U-BIO) in my Sawtooth for some time now, and have been using it flawlessly with my Canon i860 printer, and Canon LiDE 30 Scanner.
    Just recently I received a Video iPod (30GB) and wanted to take advantage the high speed USB bus offered on that card to sync my iPod. The problem is, when I plug in the iPod to the USB port on that card, I get the transparent gray box telling me that I need to restart my mac by pushing the reset switch, or holding the power button for several seconds (in other words, freezes).
    The iPod works fine with the built-in USB ports (albeit slow), as well as the high speed port on my iBook G4. Why am I getting this error? There are no drivers or firmware updates for this PCI card available.
    Is there a solution?

    Yes, use a different USB 2.0 PCI card, like from Sonnet. I use a Sonnet in a G5 and it works great. There are (at least) 2 USB chipsets and I find the TI ones are great and the other not so great.
    The fact it works on 1.1 and the 2.0 on the G4 at least tells you it is not the iPod and a USB 2 card is $20 or $30 at the most.

  • The ipad 4 is taking forever to charge and will not charge with some chargers?

    My sons I pad 4 is taking forever (hours) to charge and will not charge with some of the plugs?

    Are you using the iPad charger or a different charger, like an iPhone charger?

  • Will not charge with new cable

    I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

    There is no difference.  They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
    Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?

    My macbook pro will not charge or turn on. When I plug in the charger nothing happens and the light doesn't turn on. What can I do?

    Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
    Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

  • New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

    I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
    I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
    As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

    You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

  • IPad 2 Will Not Charge with Apple Charger, Soft Reset, Full Restore, etc. Advice is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Everyone,
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I have an iPad 2, which was purchased online in May 2012. My iPad will not charge - the upper right-hand corner shows a charging symbol, but the iPad does not gain power. I have tried the following:
    Charging the iPad with the APPLE USB cable and APPLE wall plug provided with the iPad in several different wall outlets
    Charging with another, alternate apple cable (in case the apple cable I was using wasn't working)
    Charging with an non-apple cable and plug into a wall socket
    Charging the iPad with an apple cable into my Mac
    Charging the iPad into a non-apple laptop
    Performing a soft reset, by pushing the home button and power key down until the iPad reset (tried this several times, before and after full restore)
    Performing a full restore, which involved updating my iPad to version 6.0, wiping the iPad clean, and then restoring it from a back-up (tried this several times)
    Charging the iPad while completely powered off
    Letting the iPad completely die, and then charging it - it took me several weeks to get any power back and for the red charging symbol to go away - I did this by leaving it plug into my non-mac laptop for several days, after which it finally charged it back to 14%, showing the "Not Charging symbol" the whole time.
    Removing my case off the iPad (in case the case was blocking the proper insertion of the USB cable)
    Blowing on the iPad port to remove blockage from dust, etc.
    At this point, I'm not sure what else I can try. I combed the support threads thoroughly to ensure I didn't miss any other options, but I am hoping someone else may have thought of something I didn't try. I know that the fastest way to charge the iPad is to use the 10w USB cable provided by apple, into an outlet. I have tried this several times - it doesn't work. The charging symbol shows up in the right hand upper corner, but the display does not show a charging battery, and the iPad does not increase in charge.
    I do not live in a city with an Apple Store, so I am hoping you all can provide me with a solution, as it will be a 10+ hour round trip to get this resolved in person, in store.
    Your patience and assistance is appreciated.

    When you say " tried to reset it ", does that mean you tried holding down Home and Sleep till the screen went black and a white Apple logo appeared? That usually resets my batteries and lets them reach 100% charge.
    If all fails and the device has a few years on it, the battery may very well be dead. Happens to all rechargeables. A trip to the Store for assessment will be inevitable to check the charger, cable and device. And if needed, a battery replacement alternative will be offered.

  • HT4060 My new ipad 4 will not charge with wall adapter.

    My new ipad 4 will not charge when I plug it in with wall adapter? It shows the low red battery, the charge sign but also shows the plug in sign. The plug in does not go away.

    If the battery has been completely depleted it may take more than an hour before the iPad becomes responsive again. Leave it on the charger overnight. If it does not charge up by the next morning make an appointment at an Apple store to have it looked at.

  • 6 plus will not charge with Lightning cable after 8.1 update

    Received my phone yesterday after ordering on the second day of launch and restored from my computer backup with the Lightning cable provided in the box.  After I installed the 8.1 update over wifi, now phone does not recognize the Lightning cable.  I get the not compatible message if I plug into the phone and the other end is in free air. It now will not charge or sync with computer at all.  I tried 2 different Lightning cables with the same result. I did notice the life being sucked out of the battery after 8.1 update.  I did the reset setting trick with no luck.  I have a apt at the Apple store in a few hours.  Any thoughts?

    Apple store replaced the phone and lightning cable this morning.  She said it was Hardware issues.  Well it worked fine up until I updated to 8.1 software.  The cable broke while I was removing it from the phone in front of the tech.  This afternoon I purchased a 6' lightning cable with braided jacket for under $20 bucks at Sams.  Well worth the money. The reason the cable broke was due to the small area left to grab the connector while my phone is in the Otterbox defender case I received yesterday.

  • My iPhone 5c will not charge with ant charger

    I got my Iphone 5c is November and recently it will not charge at all i even bought multiple new chargers but it will charge in my charging phone case

    I don't know what an "ant charger" is (from your post's title).
    But I strongly suggest you use an authentic Apple charger and cable.

  • Torch will NOT charge with Wall or Car Chargers, only USB - what is the fix?

    About 3 days ago, my Torch decided it no longer wants to work with ANY wall charger, or car charger for that matter.  I have been using it just fine for the past 6 months, and charging it just about every night, topping it off for a fresh charge for the morning.
    Now, NO wall chargers work, simply no response.  The ONLY way I can charge is via the USB cable and my laptop.  This is VERY annoying and no one at the AT&T store seems to know what's going on.
    I've tried all kinds of battery pulls and reboots - even upgraded to the latest software, downgraded back - NOTHING seems to be working!
    What is the solution to this problem?  How can I get it to charge again in my wall and car chargers?

    If the device (Blackberry phone) will recharge using the computer this means that the port on the device should be functioning properly.  The USB port on your computer puts out up to 500 ma at 5 Volts. The voltage regulator in the phone adjusts the power coming in to be in specs to charge the battery. The Blackberry charger is a 700 ma charger. The computer will take about 30% longer to charge the phone.
    I have had the connectors on the chargers and car adabtors go defective from handling and use.  I have also had chargers fail. Since the phone can be recharged using the computer this tells me the fault has to be with the charging devices you have. Unfortunately these chargers are not serviceable. As for myself, over time I bought a number of spare chargers.
    I would strongly suggest to try another charger. Maybe you can go in to a store that sells them and try another charger that they have in stock.
    When buying or trying a charger, it would be best to get an original Blackberry charger. This guarantees the specifications will be exactly correct for your phone, and also for the electrical safety for your phone. It is also known that many of the universal chargers will not properly charge the Blackberry phone.

  • I purchased an Ipad2 a few days ago and it will not charge using various car chargers. It connects but within a few minutes, it reads not charging. The car chargers work with the IPhone.

    I purchased an ipad2 and it doesn't charge using any of the car chargers we use for the iPhone. It connects but then reads not charging.

    I'm not surprised.  Most car outlets do not provide sufficient power for the iPad to charge, but will work fine with an iPhone.  Mine does the same thing.

  • My phone will not charge, with any of my chargers!? WHY

    My phone has not been charging and I have no idea why. None of the chargers I have work. I do not sleep with my phone by me so there is no way the charger port is messed up. Has anyone had this problem? I have a galaxy S4.

    Try taking the back off the phone, remove the battery for a second then put back in and put cover back on. Try charging again. Sometimes, phones with removable covers allow static build up between the battery and charging ports. Basically, it just bounces the charge back & forth but can't charge. Lots of times, the battery heats up and if it happens often, can actually damage the battery.  Static build up is caused (mostly) by keeping phones in pockets, pants, coats, sweatshirts.. or even in/out of purses or any other fabric lined anything.  This is also what drains battery life. (The only downfall of removable batteries). Anyway, just get in the habit of removing the battery at least once every couple of days OR at anytime that u feel the battery getting hot. Good luck!
