I don't think you can charge the iPhone when it is turned off... Do you mean power off, or when the screen in just blank ( as in you didn't turn it off but just pressed the sleep/wake button)? If so, then jsut press that button again, and it'll take you to the unlock screen.
quickly fully charge or in the night I don't wanna calls to interrupt my sleep while charging
There's vibrate? Or turn the ringer all the way down?
Your preference. Though so far my experience has been that the iPhone charges pretty quickly. If you're an average person getting 6-8 hours of sleep that's more than enough time to charge an iphone.
I think your quote pretty much sums it up. There is no sign about what the iPhone is doing (inc. when it's charging) when it's turned off.
I thought I read at one point last year that it didn't charge when it was turned off, but maybe they were just talking about charging when connected to a computer.
Just turn on airplane mode. Will turn off the cellular antenna. Or like already suggested turn it on vibrate.
Step 1 in the quick guide for my new iPhone is "leave new iPhone OFF and charge it fully"
I put my phone on to charge nightly, regardless of the battery level, because I never know how much I'll need the next day. Once the charger is plugged in, I turn the phone off so as to not interrupt my sleep. Phone does charge fine when turned off.
i always turn my phone off to charge. the sign it's charging is the 100% charge when you cut it back on! I hate the face that the phone cuts back on when you plug it up to charge!
Just plug it in while it's on.. It will say it's charging.. Turn phone off.. It will continue to charge
All though like others.. I would just put my phone on silent or turn airplane mode on..

The battery in the iPhone doesn't really suffer from partial charges - the big thing is that it does recommend once a month you let the phone go down real low (sub-20%) and let it charge to full and and stay there for a few hours once a month to make sure that the system recoginizes the battery's correct capacity (which degrades slightly over time, all batteries do).
So I'd let it get real low, turn off the cell part (aka Airplane mode ON) and let it charge over night once a month and it will be fine.
One of the few things I bitched about to Lord Steve regarding an indicator LED.
As a company who is supposed to be environmentally green, why do I have to manually light up 614,400 pixels to tell me whether or not something is happening, when one could automatically do that for me?
Green = blink for on or fully charged, longer blink for charging
Blue = Bluetooth active
Yellow = Missed Notification
Red = Missed call or message
Make the Sleep/Wake button clear or have an LED inside it and flash the status. I wouldn't have to pick up my iPhone every time I come back in the room to see if I missed something or someone.
