I am left to assume that for some reason, my phone does no longer like charging when docked on to an alarm clock.ĭoes anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get this to work again? I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 and honestly don't know if that would have anything to do with it. I had also tried plugging the iHome into a different outlet with no luck either. The funny thing is that the iPhone will play music through the iHome with no problems. When I docked the iPhone on it.you guessed it.nothing. I then decided to purchase an iHome iA9 which was sure to work. For a $60 clock, this was more trouble than it was worth, so I decided against it. The clueless support rep on the other line suggested I return the clock in exchange for a refurbished one. Suspecting the problem was with the alarm clock, I contacted Sony support. When I plug my iPhone into either a standard sync cable or an iPhone dock, it charges/syncs as normal. I tried rebooting my phone which resulted in the same problem. I tried removing it & re-seating it.nothing. It didn't make the charging beep nor did it show on the display that it was charging. However this time, I noticed my phone was not charging. I bought this clock radio back in August and have had no problems with it at all. So about a week ago, I docked my iPhone 4S into my Sony ICF-C7iP clock radio as I do every evening before going to bed.
