Accessory error message

[igorsky]

What up, peeps. I've had my iPhone for a couple of days now and today I'm experiencing a weird problem. When the phone comes out of lock, I get this ominous error message (complete with yellow warning sign) "charging is not compatible with this accessory". I've also got a few other pop-up messages with "accessory" mesasages. Thing is, I don't have any accessories connected to the phone.

Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated by this iPhone noob

take a deep breath and try blowing into the iPhones dock port, dust could be shorting it out to think something is connected

Some others on this forum have had the same issue, but not too many.

I believe some of them resolved the issue by restoring the iPhone, as new, not from a backup.

Is the phone jailbroken? Could be a factor caused by a piece of software installed.

This problem did happen to me when I had my 2G, Apple had to fix that one. I had a Lanyard plugged into the dock port and it caused this problem. But still try blowing into it first

jevangil i agree do a restore as a new device and test again i hope if you jailbroke it you didnt end up with some dirty keys if thats the case you`ll have to restore and jailbreak it again using another method

Good news....after charging the phone overnight everything seems to be kosher. But I did blow into the port just in case.

Incidentally it's not a jailbroken phone. I wouldn't even know how to jailbreak
