I have a TomTom car kit for my iPhone. It stopped charging my iPhone 4. I thought the dock was broken.
Then I went to the TomTom forum and found this:
It seems it happened to a lot of people after an update to the iPhone OS.
Did it happen to you? Do you have a solution? Did it happen with non-TomTom docks as well?
iPhone 4
I just fixed my car kit. Well, sort of.
I noticed that ANY charger cable that I plugged into my iPhone was sitting crooked. It would charge, so I didn't think too much about it.
Then I took a look in the slot in the bottom of the iPhone. It looked dusty. I took a wooden tooth pick ane started pulling pocket lint out. I swear I got a bushel basket of lint out.
Now, not only do the charging cables seat squarely, they go all the way in, not just half way.
And the dock once again works. I can charge, use the navigation app and play iTunes through the dock.

Did your iPhone stop charging in your dock after the OS update?
