Why does my iPhone 5 keep beeping when charging?

I thought the same ... See how this curse. So, at the risk of destroying another solution (I was his "free for two days White), here is my latest revision

I dug further and found on my Windows 7 system that Bonjour is not the right way in the Event Viewer ... In any case, it turned out that my Norton Internet Security firewall was too aggressive. So I got a notch or a beep.

Another study, we found that many errors 11has iTunes, and I believehow via WiFi Sync debt, even if the phone is off. So, while the decision on the Apple iTunes firewall small .... Well, as I post this!

Apparently the iPhone is a stickler for specs. In USB2, when the interface is used for power and data (iTunes), a max. of 0.5A is available for the peripheral. But if it is power only (wall cube), it goes to 1A. Woe befall us if the thing gets confuzzed, starts thinking it is USB3 and start demanding the 1.8A specced by that standard!

Your all trying to find technical solutions to a simple problem.

The problem is the CHARGER, not soft ware updates etc or phone settings but the charger.

Simple to prove.

Firstly the phone always beeps when you plug in the charger, but then keeps beeping, the reason is that the charger switches off and then on again, hence the second beep and also whay it turns its self on again.

To prove this change the charger. Also when you plug it in you notice the battery symbol shows a flash to show it is charging, then if you keeping looking at it the flash dissapears, ie the charger is not on. then it switches back on again. lets face it what do you expect from a mass produced made in china charger produced in the millions.

I went to the apple strore and they gave me a new charger NO MORE BEEPING NOW.

What you will find is the apple store is full of techo geeks trying to impress you with technical solutions to simple problems.

Sorry I m old school, break problems down into sections and prove each section, but that is what happens when you were a telephone exchange technician taught in the time honoured KISS manner.

Keep It Simple Stupid

LOL
Go get your selves new chargers and dont worry about software update 6.02/////#$??? and you will spend time using your phone

I've found the same to be true. The lightning connector has a weak spot where the chord goes into the head. Mine "beeped" nonstop for days and wouldn't charge well until I replaced it. It has worked fine ever since with no more annoying "beeping" or dead batteries. Hope this helps.🙂

Ah Geezer... the software update most likely increased the charging mA load requirements that made many PC's and chargers unable to deliver. Anything less then 1000 mA won't cut it.

Why would my system have no issues with with my iPhone 5 pre iOS6.1 then all of a sudden start beeping.

We all know Apple has had Battery Drain issues and my guess is they change their charging scheme that put more demnands on USB ports and chargers.

I bought a different non apple power adapter, i had the same problem with the original one that came in the box after a few days whilst charging it started beeping every couple of mins, still dont know why???, hope this helps you guys..🙂

I agree with this. I had this problem ...startimng beeping a few months after I got my Iphone 5. The charger with the iphone 5 was a 5W. I changed to an older iphone charger that I had and have not had beeping since. My wife then started using the new 5W charger on her iphone 4. After a copule of days the beping started on hers. So I reckon it is definately the charger that comes with the Iphone 5

I found that if you use an original charge cable plugged into the large outlet power supply the beeping goes away. Only does it with me with the fake/non original cables I purchased later on Amazon.

Started happening with my new 5S. In my case the wall plug was loose. I never would have expected though as the beeps sounded like emails popping in. But finally checked the power supply based on comments here - thanks all!

Top answer: Geezer! Simple problem simple solution!

When the beeping commenced (yes, it drove me freaking nuts) about 2 days ago (something that didn't happen before)... I was curious to find out the real reason. Like a sincere netizen, I got to this post and after reading every comment... I decided to test geezer's solution (try simple before complicated). It simply worked.

So what's the story of the two chargers? I spend my week in one city and my weekend in another. The charger that came with my personal use iPhone (Dec 2012) was what I was using all along in both cities without any issues. When I got a office issued iPhone (Feb 2013) as well, I decided not to use the charger plug and instead kept the same in the box it came in. Last week, however, I opened the "Pandora's" box and pulled out the office issued iPhone charger, so it could save me from transporting my original charger every weekend. The rest is self-explanatory. Putting geezer's theory to test, I replaced the office charger with my original one and the beeping stopped. So, it must be charger that came with the office iPhone that's causing the incessant beeping. Try replacing your charger... it might save your brain from exploding!

Just got a brand new 5s today and took it out of the box along with the charger. Plugged it in and it does not charge, but beeps about every 4 seconds. I had ordered a spare charger when the phone was ordered, so I tried it, with the same result. I also tried an iPad adaptor with the same result. I believe there is a problem with the phone. It will not turn on or respond to a reboot, so I have not come up with a way to trouble shoot it yet.

kdbee, i had the exact symptoms you described (similar timeframe, too).

did u end up taking your phone to the Apple store? can you share you experience? here's my story: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5639258

My beeping at night seems to be related to the "always on" USB port on my laptop. It presumably switches on and off every couple of minutes when the i-phone is fully charged. I'll have to use a wall plug USB adaptor now which seems to resolve the problem (... or work out how to configure the laptop!).

Crawfic

Go into Windows Control Panel - SOUND and change the setting "DEVICE CONNECT" under the "Sounds" TAB to (None) and it'll solve your problem.

But you may have stumbled upon the REAL cause of this problem. Apple goes completely asleep and the USB port thinks the device has been removed. Apple needs to fix this, since the rest of the USB device world seems to be able to deal with it.

I guess they think they're saving the planet or something.... a drop in the bucket compared to Apple's true energy footprint.

Thanks Bob - I've done this... but it is the i-phone not the laptop that is making the beeps.

As you say, it's probably the way the laptop and i-phone try to save energy.
