I've had this happen too. If the battery pack is charged and attached, push the on off button on the battery pack. It's on the back next to the four white flashing lights.

Once the battery pack is attached and charged (4 lights flashing). Push and hold the on off button on the battery pack until the phone beeps or shows its charging. Hopefully this will help.

For me it never worked , i pushed the button and the lights shined just for 2 seconds and that was all , no energy at all

You have to make sure the case is turned on. Hold the power button down for 2 seconds

You have to hold it. Then it should charge. If not try charging the case. Still not working return it for a refund

RfGuy - the iphone syncs and charges without removing the case. No need for different cables. Every once in a while I will take the case off to clean the phone and I will use the apple cable but there is nothing to update or sync. It's charged and synced without the iphone cable.

Never had that problem with mine. Maybe you got the one for the iPhone 5? I would exchange it for a new one.

I got one for my girlfriend and have been working really good for more than a year until now. U can charge it with the phone attached and i think the phone charge first and then the case. I think, Usually all these things work like that. I have one for my iphone and it work the same.

The problem, with my iphone, that I use abroad -I live in Colombia-, is that in many occasions when I need to charge the phone, the battery blocks and won't charge unless I reconnect the device and charge it for a few seconds. Then it will woe properly an it will charge completely my iphone, but, as I said, if there is no electricity around, it will work only as a case, not as a charger. Sorry for my english and I hope this answered your question

So, if you have a case it won't charge properly? I have an iPhone 4 with a slim rubber case and am worried that if I buy this product, I'll have to remove my iPhone from the case every time I want to dock it.. would that be the case?

To clarify for my experience:1.) I did not get any wall charger. 2.) And you cannot use your iphone cable when the iphone and case are together. There is only one port - a microusb port. 3.) As far as I can tell, the charger charges first before the iphone gets to recharge itself. Which is rather annoying.

The same happens for me. Sometimes it will charge my phone with one blinking light till 100%. Other times it only adds 10%, so it is hit and miss.

You can't charge both at the same time so the best way is to have your phone inside the case and charge it while it is there. Then, once it's fully charged then the case will be charged automatically.

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?

I'm not sure if this helps or not, but I discovered on a few occasions that my phone was not charging overnight, and this was mainly if I had it turned on it's side................. I finally figured out that I did not have it set in all the way. I have not had any issues since.

I tried once to see if it does charge while phone mounted in case, didn't seem like it was charging phone battery as well, so I just charged them separately. One would assume that it could charge the phone too after it charges itself, will try again and see later..

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

The one you have must be defective. Mine will recharge my iPad, iPhone 5, and MIFI, with ample charge still showing by two indicator LEDsHopefully, you are still within the 30 days return policy for a replacementGood luckCurt
