I've had my iPhone 4 for around 7-8 months. Just recently, when I go to charge it through the USB and wall charger, I get an error message that says "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I have done nothing different since the first day I got it, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyone else have this problem?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
How about trying a different wall outlet? If the same problem occurs but works with a different charger, time to blame the charger, and take a trip down to the Apple store for replacement.
I've tried different outlets and I've even tried charging through my computer. I still get the same error message. Would the problem be in the USB cord or the phone?
You used the same usb cord when you tried all those times? Well, then try a different usb cord. If the problem still exists, then most probably it's something wrong with the phone. BTW, you got any iphone repair tools? I found them very useful.
I have the same issue, I suspect it may be related to the amount of power available via the usb charger.
Complicating the issue is that I have a mophie juice pack air, which should, in a just world, solve the issue by sitting between the usb power source and the iPhone.
This started with iOS 5.1, so looks like a user-unfriendly firmware update to me. The whole approach to charging has been absurdly picky from day one, and frankly appallingly greedy. Does Apple really think we're that dumb?
I could see charging at 500mA if there's a question about the charger, but to throw up it's hands and refuse is just stupid.
