AnswerNot sure, but if you can find an old iPhone 2G dock it will work fine. I just upgraded from the old 2G phone to iPhone 4 and it fits in the dock perfectly (without a bumper).

Is there a magnet in the dock that will silence email and text alerts?
Once the phone is in the dock, I do not hear email or text alerts. However, phone calls and alarms will play with no issues. I like this feature. Is there a magnet in the dock that tells the phone to silence these?

Are all 30 pins connected directly thru the to allow Dock to VGA Adaptor for viewing 720p home video from docked iPhone4
Are all 30 pins connected directly thru the dock, thus allowing the optional accessory VGA adaptor to function correctly?
The reason I ask is that analog stereo audio [L&R+Gnd] is certainly broken out via the 3.5mm jack on the dock. [So possibly at least the analog audio pins are not connected directly - but those connections may be duplicated]
However my question refers specifically to Video Graphics Array. Has anyone used the dock and VGA adaptor to view 720p home video in this way?- Asked by Martin H

Can the iPhone be removed from the dock with one hand? No second hand necessary to help "unwedge" dock connector from inside iPhone?
With older iPod docks, the dock connector really gets firmly wedged up into the device. This requires a second hand to hold down the dock while pulling on the device to remove it. With the Blackberry dock I had the device just sort of sat on top and I could easily remove it with one hand. This is super nice when the dock/device sit on a nightstand and you want to be able to grab/remove it with one hand from bed.

Can I watch a movie while on the iphone is on the Apple iphone 4 dock?
- Asked by Krisitna B from Dixon
- Jun 28, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes, you can watch movies while parked in the dock. You can even use the Audio Out jack on the back of the dock to play the sound though your audio system.
The dock is essentially the same thing as plugging your phone into a computer or wall adapter with the USB cord that came with your phone.
You can sync, make calls, listen to music, watch movies, use facetime, and use apps. The advantage is that it acts as a stand and makes charging or connecting your phone to your computer more convenient.- Answered by Nick P from Sacramento
