I have just turned my iPhone off for a couple of hours and have just started it up again. This time it started charging on exactly the same cable on the same power source that it had previously refused to charge on. So why it should now decide to charge when previously it was not is mystifying. I hope that this is not an intermittent fault.

If I connect an iPod Nano or an iPhone to a 12 watt USB power adapter that comes with the latest iPad, the device immediately steps down to the appropriate rate for maximum charging. On the other hand, if I connect an iPad to the plug connector or iPhone charger, it's limited to 5 watts, and will take 2.5 times longer to charge. Most PC USB ports deliver 2.5 watts of power, so charging takes even longer. If you buy an external battery or case, the amperage may tell you how many times you can recharge your device, but the voltage and power of the rated connection tells you how long it will take. So, if you have a sync cable with a break, you may be able to sync and transfer data, but not charge, and this may be true for a number of third party cables. The only times I've heard of the device no longer charging is when there has been water damage to the connector port. Usually the problem is a bad cable. It sounds as though this is a faulty part in the hardware that should be replaced under warranty. Mike's questions are to the point here. HTH.
