Just got my brand new iPhone XS today and put it on my Belkin dual iPhone & iWatch charging stand (not the wireless one) and it repeatedly chimes the charging chime and does not stop until I unplug it from the charger? Is anyone else having this issue?
Husband and I both have these and I was trying to figure out how mine is still working and his doesn’t with our xs maxes. We figured out the solution tonight. I have a popsocket on mine and he didn’t. So the phone has to be tilted slightly forward and will stay charging. My popsocket was in just the right spot to space the phone away from the back bracket and cause the correct angle. He made his own version by adding a bunch of tape and a pen cap around the bracket to build up a spacer. Still moody and you have to be careful not to bump the phones once charging but they’ll charge. Hope this helps.
I’ve had the same problem, but last night I plugged my iPhone XS into without thinking and it worked! I’m running iOS 12.1 so maybe the latest update had a fix in it
Easy, Tiger. It’s fixed with iOS 12.1
As a matter of interest I pulled my dock apart to see what's so special about it to justify the cost of $150 AUD. Mostly empty space in the bottom with a small lightning connector riser mechanism and a tiny circuit board splitting up the watch charger from the lightning. Must be something dodgy they included on the circuit board. I couldn't identify what part on the board would cause it to not work, there doesn't appear to be anything too fancy on it, a copper coil, some resistors and simple power regulation components.
Apple will be selling the new Belkin docks in December which are “optimized” for the new iPhones. Clearly Apple had to make sure the old docks would become obsolete (even though the hardware is the same) to scam us into upgrading. Class action anyone?
I have the same issue with the Belkin Dock - my old Iphone 7 Plus works like a charme but the new Xs does not. We also have a Bose sounddock which works fine.
Might there be hope with 12.1 or is it a hardware issue between the Xs and the Belkin Dock?
The staff at Apple Store in Galleria Houston did not seem think it unusually that Belkin Products were not supported even though they were sold in the store. I am an unhappy camper. Having just spend over $3K for two new Xs Maxes and cannot use my pair of Belkin valet chargers (less than one year old) for our watches and new iPhones. The solution from store staff was to purchase new Belkin units. Yeah right.
Same here...Belkin offered 20% discount on new wireless charger..20%!!!!
The story they are putting out implies that the connector is the issue and the new charger has a height adjustable connector...sounds like a crock to me. More like the regulator can’t sink enough current and keeps tripping, cause the power cycle.
Having looked in more detail, it would appear that it is possible for a manufacturer to self certify their product against the MFI program. Part of the process requires then to confirm they will adhere to the technical specifications of the MFI standard. So does this mean that Belkin self certified the Valet Charger but did NOT adhere to the technical requirements?
I think it may well be a software issue that can be resolved as there seems to be a general issue with the charging of the new iPhones, but the good news is momentum is gaining. Hopefully Apple will come clean and sort the problem. Watch this you tube vid that dhows the wider problem.
I believe I will join you. I purchased two of these docks from the Apple Store here in Houston less than a year ago. Now just because I bought two XsMaxes, the docks are worthless to me. Two companies that have a lot more money than I do are pointing their fingers at each other and so far have not fixed the problem.
Same issues here and I was holding out for an IOS update. Unfortunately 12.0.1, which states addresses some charging issues with the XS so I was hopeful for a minute there, doesn’t make a difference and my Belkin valet charger is still only good as an oversized Apple Watch stand.
Exactly the same problem here. Had no issues charging iPhone X but the Xs now goes on and off charge constantly. I know the dock is fine as it charges other devices no problems at all!
I'm having this issue as well. It seems to charge on the standard cord.
Is it chiming just for the Apple Watch, the iPhone XS or both?
