Found a reasonable solution to the problem. I bought a dock extender cable (see product link below)that seems to have solved the charging problem while connected to the speaker system. Music plays and the iphone charges. All is good.30 Pin Dock Extender Cable-50 cm in White

I have the same problem. I'm using an iPod touch and the charging quit. It plays fine, but the WiFi quits without the charger running, so my connection to internet radio drops after about 20 minutes or so.

Don't have an iPhone but speaker works well except for the charging port. You must be careful or it will tweak it and it won't charge. In a boat the speaker works well with no problems. Phone can be in the glove box or buy a waterproof case for it if you're concerned about moisture in your phone

Yes, you just turn on the Bluetooth function on your iPhone to play iTunes through it. I have the older version of this boom box that you plug the phone into the space in the front, but on this version, the front space is just an empty slot to place your phone. It doesn't have a charging port. If you want to charge your phone at the same time, you're required to plug your iPhone cord into a separate USB port on the back, I think. You can't charge it and put it in the cradle at the same time.

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.

Never thought about it but don't recall any outputs. It has an enhanced bass setting but it isn't really very effective. I just got the iPhone 5s and using the adapter I bought it charges but does not play music. Any thoughts on how to correct this if their is a solution.

I just checked it by calling my sis. It does work on phone calls but NOT with the iphone speaker phone turned on. It also works on Siri. To get better quality sound for both your iphone 5 and speaker do the following: On iphone main page touch settings. Scroll down to Music and touch. Touch EQ. Then pick a category to your liking. I have mine set on Bass Booster. Hope all of this helps you. I really like this speaker.

It cannot be fixed. You are placing the handset into the speaker of the iPhone. That means all sounds will then be sent to the handset. The best solution is to unplug the handset until you need to make a call and then plug it back in.

Is it losing connection while in use or after you shut it down and then it will not reconnect? If it has been paired with another device and that device is still active, (example iPad is in use or sleeping but not off) the speaker will attempt to connect to that device and will not connect to another until the previous device is deactivated or it's Bluetooth is shut off. Loss of Bluetooth connection can be caused by multiple devices attempting to connect, weak signal, too great a distance from source etc. I have two of these speakers and have not had a problem with either one. I use them with my iPad, phone, and with a laptop computer using an "old" external Bluetooth adaptor in a USB port. I'll mention battery state of charge too but you likely have charged it to see if a low battery was the problem. If the problem continues I'd contact the manufacturer. http://www.hensonaudio.com/index.php?route=information/contact

It is the same connection as the iPhone 4 but will likely not charge the device. My wife had the 4 and it played but did not charge. Also could not close with the 4 and was a little loose in the stand. Not the best option for the iPhone 4. I would just get a Bluetooth device if I were to do it again.

I've heard that the iphone is not compatible with this speaker dock, so I would also tend to believe that the same is true of the Ipod Touch since it is similar. Apparently, it causes buzzing or some other type of interference when docked. I am not 100% sure though about the Ipod Touch compatibility. Check with the manufacturer before you buy this speaker dock. That is the best advice I can offer you.

First; are the batteries good? Second ; the I-phone only plays in one direction when laid on speaker. Put bottom of phone on top of blue blinking off & on button. Be sure to turn the volume up on phone, you can turn it down after laying on speaker if it is too loud. I have two I love. If this still does not work please get another. I can't live without mine. I use I-heart radio, so when I travel I always have a radio and my music. Good luck.

Not sure why. I get the same message from time to time but it doesn't stop my iphone from charging. Ignore it.

Just plugged in my IPhone5s to confirm that it does indeed get charged when plugged into this Denon stereo. Not only that, when I plug it in, I don't have to touch a single button on the stereo or the IPhone for the music from the phone to start automatically playing - probably in part because I have the music app already open, but how sweet is that! The software is actually perfectly integrated! I still say the Denon purchase was my best consumer purchase in years. Hope that helps.

When my iphone 5 is paired with this and a call comes in, my phone gives me options about how I want to answer it. (Bluetooth speakers or iphone). I have never tried doing anything on the speakers themselves for a phone call. There may be some kind of setting/option on your phone, regardless of what brand, that you can set to default phone calls to the phone instead of the paired bluetooth device? I hope that's helpful!

I doubt it is compatible with iPhone5 unless you have an adapter. Doesn't the 5 have a different plug? Plus an apple iOS update made the speakers stop working and it just became a big charging unit. I would look for something else.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.
