I just picked up my new 32GIG 3GS iPhone today and when I connected the iPhone to my PC it wouldn't charge the iPhone. I can sync with iTunes with no problem and I can transfer photos from my iPhone onto my computer with no problem.
All I get is what you see in the attached pictures below. Just to clarify, the USB charger plug that comes with the phone is what I am using to connect to the computer so I am using the proper wire that is made for the iPhone.
The phone will charge if it plugged directly to the wall socket and the car charger with no problem but just not when plugged to the computer.
Also, it seems to take forever to charge up. I have a 16GIG 3G iPhone that I plugged into the computer using the same wire and it charges up right away with no problems at all. I had the 32GIG 3GS iPhone charging for over 45 minutes and it just barely charged the phone. At one time I even stopped in a parking lot with the charger plugged in and it charged up one percent about every 2 minutes. With my 16GIG 3G iPhone, it charged up right away with the car charger and I never had any issues at all. I also noticed that the charge went down almost 10 percent after only using the calculator for about 5 minutes on the 3GS, not exactly the power saving benefit that the 3GS iPhone was supposed to have over the 3G.
One last thing.....does anyone with a 3GS iPhone have any weird issues with the compass not facing correctly? Also, when you use the maps app for GPS directions with the headlight looking directional icon does anyone have it facing like 45 degrees from the direction you are actually traveling? The only way that the headlight looking icon could be right is if I was drifting all the way down the road or if I had the planets worst alignment and my car was driving at something like a 45 degree sideways angle from the road. At one time I was facing directly west and it said that I was facing north east. And there is no button to recalibrate the compass either.
I am bringing it to an Apple store thursday to have it looked at but I'm just wondering if anyone with a new 3GS iPhone has had these problems and if it's with all 3GS iPhones or just the 32GIG model.
