How do I stop the doo-doo sound while charging?

I set iTunes to NOT sync when I plug the iPhone into the USB port on my PC (Windows XP), and now I can plug the phone it to charge via USB without having iTunes open and try to sync. Very good.

But... While the phone is plugged in and charging, it keeps "waking up" and going alternately to the "charging battery" screen, and the "unlock" screen. Each time it changes screens, it makes the little "alert" sound. This happens just about every minute, but not regularly. Sometimes the computer will think it "found new hardware".

Is there a simple way to stop this?

I assume it is coming from Windows, and not from the iPhone. The USB port must be sending some sort of "what the heck are you?" polling signal to the iPhone.

I hope I don't have to shut down "plug 'n' play" entirely.

Thanks,
Peter

if you switch the ringer silence switch this will resolve the issue of the phone chiming when it initiates the charge cycle.
As far as the switching back and forth from charging to not charging, the most likely culprit is a bad usb port.. try plugging in to a different port and see if you get the same result, if you do then try a different cable (regular iPod cables will work) eliminate the small stuff first.
The usb port on the right side of my PBG4 did the same thing to me, iPhone keeps jumping from charging to not charging.. I plugged it into the left side, no more problems..
