Charging the iPhone4 while turned off . . possible or not?
- I've read somewhere that you can't charge the iPhone4 while it's powered off. Is this true? Does the iPhone4 have to be powered on while charging?
I have a habit of completely turning off my phone (currently a blackberry) overnight when charging and plan to do the same with my iPhone01-13-2011 04:30 PMLike 0 - I've read somewhere that you can't charge the iPhone4 while it's powered off.

You can turn it off and plug the charger in and it will turn on to sleep mode and then start charging.01-13-2011 04:37 PMLike 0 - What does the iPhone do (or not do) while in sleep mode? Will incoming calls, messages and emails alert the iPhone (vibrate/ring etc...) while charging in sleep mode?01-13-2011 04:52 PMLike 0

If you are not wanting things to come through you can just turn the sound off so you don't hear anything or putthe device in airplane mode.01-13-2011 04:56 PMLike 0 - I plug my phone in first and then power it down. For a brief period of time, it shows the charge/battery picture and then nothing. It doesn't receive calls or text, no ringing/vibrating, nothing. So, I'm pretty sure its off at this point and in the morning I have to push the power button and wait for it to turn on (Apple logo, etc). So, I guess the point I'm trying to make is I think the key is to plug the phone in FIRST and then power down if you want it off while charging.01-13-2011 05:02 PMLike 0
