IPhone 5 getting very hot in car cradle

I have bought a BMW cradle to charge my iphone 5 which also boosts the signal. It is an authentic BMW/Apple part. The iphone gets very hot even on short journeys. Is this normal?

Hi Jooles,
Normally, when you charge an iPhone or any Apple device it gets hot when you are using it . However, I'm using a Car Cradle as well that I bought few years ago and it doesn't gets hot. I think it depends on which brand or model you are using.
Just a question, are you using a different cable? or an External Antenna?

  • IPhone gets very hot when not being used!

    Been having some trouble with my iPhone recently. For some reason the iPhone gets hot - I don't mean warm... When it's in my pocket I can feel the heat being generated, or sometimes I'll pick it up from my desk and it'll be warmer than me, even when it's not being used.
    It's started doing this recently. I've already had to hard reset it due to other issues but in addition to the heat issue the battery goes down really quickly, again when it's not being used. Today from a full charge it was down to 50% in about 2 hours.
    I had suspicions it was due to a recently installed app, but I'm not sure.
    Any ideas? Does it sound like hardware or software to you? Is there an app I can use to see what app is being used the most (in terms of CPU/memory/battery usage)?

    Thanks both. I've restored the device and I'll see how that goes. In addition I've turned off Bluetooth since it doesn't work properly (the reason for doing the first reset). I'm finding if my headset goes out of range of the iPhone, it disconnects and never reconnects to the iPhone. If the headset is out of range for too long and I try reconnecting it via the BT menu option by selecting the headset, it tries to find it but fails. I end up having to completely re-pair the headset all over again.
    Any reason for this or is it a known issue with the bluetooth?

  • Iphone getting very hot during use

    Over the last few weeks my phone has started getting quite hot at the back if I use it for more than 20 minutes or if I try using it whilst charging.
    Should I be worried?
    Thanks

    That depends on how easily you get worried. It most likely means there's an issue with your battery but if it's really worrying you, take it by an Apple Store and have them take a look at it.

  • 3GS getting very hot

    IPhone getting very hot. Safety issue afraid to charge over night

    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket.  Any ideas?

    My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long.  It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use.  Any ideas?

    Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running.  This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore.  Has a reset or restore been tried?
    Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

  • I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

    I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

    It means take it back to where you bought it from. If you don't want to do that you'll have to be more specific like how long you've had the phone and how you are using the phone when it gets hot. That kind of information. The more we know about the phone the easier it is to diagnose and offer suggestions.

    I did yesterday. They inspect and repaired it. And gave me back my phone and claim that its was not assembled well at start. was an un aglinment.

  • HT4060 When I charge my ipad on some occasions the plug gets very HOT.  the ipad still charges but slower.????

    When I charge my ipad using the small UPSpower adapter, the adapter gets very HOT on about every third use.  It still charges but more slowly.  Is any one having a similiar problem??  An sugstions as to how to correct it???

    Not staff or owner by a long shot.
    I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
    But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
    the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
    Bad cable
    bad outlet
    bad brick
    rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

    Try a totally fresh iOS install.  When prompted at the end as to restoring from backup or set up as new phone, choose New Phone.

    If the problem remains after doing that, it's a hardware issue.

  • Droid 3 getting very hot!

    My Droid 3 I have noticed is getting very hot when ever it is charging.  Like to the point it hurts to hold.  I dont' use it while it is charging.  What is the deal with it getting so hot?  And plus it isn't charging with my car charger.  Any suggestions?  I LOVE my phone...but just getting nervous about it getting so hot.

    I was having the same issue with my phone, a Droid 2 purchased Jan 2012.  Didn't change usage, settings, etc.  Got VERY  hot, sometimes while charging, sometimes just while idle.  Hot to touch hot, not just warm.  Battery also began draining so it wouldn't hold a charge reliably...sometimes only a couple hours with little to no use, after being able previously to go 3 days without recharging.  I use very few aps.  Took to Verizon store where service rep reviewed aps and usage, changed some settings, said try for a week or so and if no improvement, they would likely give me new battery to try; if that didn't work, they would likely replace the phone as they have been having issues with this phone.  The settings changes made NO difference.  Went back to store about 10 days later and repeated service/battery/problems.  This service rep skipped new battery step and just put in for a "new" (refurbished) phone to be sent to me.  Today I'm in the process of setting up the new phone which came via mail.  It would not set up automatically following screen instructions, but customer service came on the phone and did something from their end that allowed me to continue the activation.  Now my phone is working...sort of.  It will not allow my yahoo.mail account to load as an app. so I can't access my email (main reason I'm paying for this phone/plan.)  Have tried a dozen times including closing my inbox on my computer, restarting phone/email install from first screen and re-entering name/password a bunch of times, and everything else I could think of.  Tried camera, which works, but is "grainy" compared to my first phone, and pictures are not  re-sizing/acclimating to direction of screen (tall/wide view) to allow for bigger viewing of picture as before.  Guess it's back to the Verizon store for 3rd time unless someone has some help here.  I would also be leary of a hard reset without more info.

  • My macbook pro gets very hot when running anything like games or videos

    I just bought a macbook pro 2.3 GHZ i7 with retina display.  It gets very hot when running just about anything of substance.  When I run a game like candy crush, the temperature can get to 167 or more.  I installed istat menus and started monitoring it.  I did notice that the fans never went on but after istats I was able to make them come on.  Without having a game going, the temperatures hover around 100.  Once the game starts, it goes crazy.
    I don't really know what the problem could be or if this is normal (it really can't be....This is way too hot).  I have owned the computer for about 2 months and I need to know what to do.

  • 09 Unibody getting very hot since 10.6.4 update

    Hi.
    I've recently updated my macbook (late 09 unibody) to 10.6.4, no problems working fine. However I've been noticing recently that the macbook has been getting very hot since the update. It's been reaching temperatures of 94C recently. It's never got that hot before and I'm not doing anything different either. It's been noticeably hotter whether it's been on the desk, on the laptop dock or on my lap.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    -Matt

    These fixes worked for me:
    I downloaded and reapplied the combo updater.
    I booted to safe mode, twice, and then went back to normal, and that combination has my macbook temp back down to normal levels. I also did some work on my iphone, definitely itunes was heating it up somehow.

    Hi rhaughan,
    I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
    Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

  • MacBook not going to sleep and getting very hot

    I just purchased a MacBook and have been using it for a few days. I have noticed that it does not appear to go to sleep correctly and gets very hot in the process. I finished working on my MB about 45 minutes ago. At the time it was connected to the mains and I disconnected to catch my next train. I shut the lid and after a few minutes the sleep indicator light at the front dimmed once then stayed on permanently. I could not hear the drive spinning (though the drive is quiet on this machine and there was a lot of background noise) and assumed all was OK. Anyhow, I have just taken the MB out of its case some 45 minutes later and it felt extremely hot (almost too hot to touch, I would guess around 50ºC). The sleep indicator light on the front was solid white. I opened the lid and the machine woke up. Something not right here....Also power remaining was down to 72% so something has been using up a lot of energy and heating up the aluminium!
    Tony
    ps. Whilst writing this email the MB has cooled down considerably but still warm.
    ps2. Probably not related, but I have firmware password protection enabled
    null

    I did see some of the other posts, but nothing about the MB getting so hot.
    I tried sleep from the menu and this seems to work (though I have rebooted the machine since the above report).
    What worries me is the potential fire risk/damage to the MB, the case was extremely hot.
