It says "Please wait..." when I plug my phone in. Never changes while the phone is plugged in.

I was hoping to get a decent working device. It's pretty simple, yet the LCD was messed up from the start and then after a couple of weeks my IPOD 5 tells me the device is not recognized. Reminds me of Windoze.

I never managed to make it work; first use, it did exactly the same that's happening with yours, then it just die...

I assume that you are using the iphone 4 with the 30 pin connection? I was using my ipod 4th generation and iphone 4s and both worked with the transmitter, the major problem I had with the scosche was that it would shut off at any time while I was using it, and I would have to pull out the plug from my lighter and reconnect it, then it would work until it shut off again at any time, it has great sound but the drawback was it shutting off by itself, never did figure out the reason, and I only paid ten dollars for it used from amazon,maybe that is the reason why it would shut off, now I use love phone , that is the name of it, fm transmitter purchased from amazon also for 22 dollars, try that transmitter it uses iphone and ipod with the 30 pin connector. hope this helps you solve your problem, and please respond back to me with your answer .

If your phone is charged then as soon as you put it into your phone it's supposed to turn on automatically

It sounds like you need to calibrate your device just touch and wait on the screen to see if it will let you calibrate it.

I think sometimes it doesn't change but if you unplug you should notice a slight difference. Like if your phone is completely out of charge. Right now mine shows the green charge light.

From what I recall the package stated hold it down for 5 seconds to turn on. If it's literally a minute and you're not over exaggerating then is not normal. Try double tapping it, thats how my turns on. Good luck.

Got the same problem. Going to try a different battery. If it happens again, I will try the recommended "reset" instructions to see if that works. We should not have to do this if hundreds of other people are not having to "reset" their battery/phone.

Same thing has happened to me. What I did was wait and tried again, held power button down. I also made sure charge was full. When u plug in charger there is a small red light. Be worried if the red light doesn't show

This happened to me once, too. It'll come back. I unplugged mine for a while, then tried again (like, the next day) and it was fine. It still occasionally gets stuck in limbo, but it usually only takes a few minutes without power, then plugging it back in.Also, I've noticed it does this less often if I take out the Bluetooth thingy in back. There's a little cover you can remove on the back with a little USB Bluetooth receiver in it. It's tricky to get your fingers in there, but once I pulled this out, my unit started working more reliably.

Initially it worked for me, but now it won't. I would plug my phone in to charge while also using the aux input from my phone to listen to streaming radio through the speakers. Now it stopped registering that i have plugged in the USB to get power to the phone. I tried a different USB cable and it worked at first, but the next morning when I tried again that cable wouldnt work either!! what the.. Luckily the cables still work with other outlets so the iHome did not kill the cable.

The only thing I can think of it that maybe the phone isn't aligned correctly with the plug inside of the charger. Make sure it is pushed completely into the phone.

There's still an issue. the battery is supposed to last about a week. it discharges in one day. I received a replacement for it but the replacement will not synch with my phone :-(

Try making sure it is completely plugged in, otherwise take it out and try it again. Then if both of those don't work check to make sure you put it in properly and go into your settings and see what it's saying. I know when I first got it, it didn't read but then I looked and saw I didn't push it in all the way; after that it was fine.

Are you sure the charger works? If it's charged it should start. That happened to us. WE used an old NOkia charger from a previous phone, and it charged up.

Not an answer, just another person who would like to know the same thing- why am I getting this warning for my iPhone 5c and why does it charge intermittently instead of every time I plug it in?
2262181
Nope, it only comes on when something is right in front of it. Like your finger or when it gets close to the phone while plugging it in.

I don't seem to have that problem. My unit registers the correct date and time. Try resetting the phone by taking out the battery.

Unplug it then plug it in again. make sure you do wait at least 15 minutes before unplugging and plugging back in again. for whatever reason it takes a few times of plugging and unplugging before it works. I three of these. one of them had this issue I don't know why but after the third time I plugged it in and waiting patiently for 15 minutes looking at a jelly bean jar the finally kicked over.
