Default Appa and USB port

Is it possible to use the Enform apps while the iPhone is linked through the USB port to keep it charged? I thought I remembered doing it once on a long trip, but now, with the updated firmware, it does not work. The apps function fine with a Bluetooth connection if the phone is not attached to the USB.

I am not sure what you are trying to say, but that combination (apps and the phone attached to the USB, even with a Bluetooth connection) does not work with my iPhone 4S.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, you would think it would work better with the USB port...

I read somewhere the Bluetooth gets confused when the USB is plugged in.

It does, if you're listening to streaming audio and plug it in, to charge it for instance, you have to reselect the bluetooth connection over the dock connection on the phone to continue streaming.
