X920BT Odd iphone problems/behavior

[RockTheDrums429]

hey everyone! i bought an x920bt from crutchfield around launch time and the pioneer ipod cable (cd-50). i am using an iphone 3g with firmware 3.1.2, jailbroken, and on AT&T. unfortunately ive been having some odd problems with it and i was wondering if anyone has similar experiences or advice.

 

1) the iphone doesn't charge when plugged into the ipod cable. it chirps and i get the charging icon, but no charge happens. my 5th gen ipod video charges and connects no problem. when using pandora, the phone gets REALLY hot when plugged in but doesnt charge.

 

2) VR cataloging takes forever and never ends. i get the updating VR dictionary message but it never goes away and i never get the "VR Dictionary Updated" message. it just keeps saying "updating VR dictionary...". my 5th gen ipod video catalogs in about 5 min (approx. 2400 songs)

 

3) when i plug the phone in, sometimes i get the message "Authorization failure..." and i need to reconnect it. after 2-3 tries, it usually works

 

4) when trying to use pandora, it randomly disconnects and i get a pop-up on the phone that says something like "....is having trouble trying to connect to your phone. please disconnect and reconnect your phone."

 

thanks for taking the time to help. i know it's a lot of issues and a lot to ask about, but thank you so much in advance. i love the radio and everything about it. i just hope i can get the most out of it.

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!

1. The dock connector on the phone is likely becoming worn out.
