Bulging Battery / excessive heat when charging
Hello,
I have a bit of a problem with my blackberry:
1. Annoying unread messages that won't go away
2. Excessive Heat when charging
3. Bulging Battery
Do you guys thinks that this warrants for a warranty exchange? Or is it ok for me to keep using it?
With annoying unread messages, you have to deal it with your carrier if its SMS or email provider if its email.
With bulging battery and excessive heat when charging - please refrain from using your phone while charging OR you may look for the best Blackberry charger (Model: PSMC04A) because the output is 700mA unlike the charger that came with your phone, its only 200-450mA. This is not meant to use while you are charging but because its a pretty fast charger, it doesnt take much time to complete the 100%

E6 Battery produce heat when charging
Dear Nokia Experts,
Thanks for inventing the wonderfull Nokia E6 Mobile which was updated with Belle Refresh ,Belle was an wonderful OS.
Guys whenever am charging my E6 ,its getting heat up.
Plz suggest some solution for this ,or some SW update to resolve this problem.
Thanks,
Karthik,It is normal for the battery to warm up during charging but it should not get hot. If you are worried that it is getting a little too hot then you should have it checked out at your local Nokia Care Point.

Whenever I charge my ipod using either my PC or portable speakers with a docking station, after only a minute or so, my ipod will start to heat up. First over the left side of the click wheel, the towards the screen and soon after about 10 mintes the whole unit it to hot to even handle. I can hear the hard drive reving up, and then slowing down constantly while this is happening. My ipod stil works fine, all my music and videos work great. Athough while connected to my PC, it will not sync, or bring up Itunes.
That doesn't sound good at all and I don't think anyone here can help you. If still in warranty, contact Apple. If out of warranty, you need to make a financial decision:

Why does my battery run out when charging?
I updated my iPad to iOS 7.0.2 and when ever I use my iPad and it's charging, it will still lose battery life. Is there anyway to fix this?
Make sure you are using a 10W/12W charger and plug into wall socket.

Battery level decreases when charging ?
I plugged my macbook pro in to charge. It charged all the way up till ~90 something percent. In terms of duration, it said that it would finish charging in two minutes. Then 4 minutes.... 6 minutes. Then I decided to turn it off.
Now that I have turned it back on it is only at 88%.
Weird. Everything seems to work ok.KeanuReeves wrote:

Hi i recieved an ipod touch gen 5 for christmas and it worked perfectly on the 30th it decided to instantly shut down on me and over heat iv tried all of apples recommeded techniques but it wont work at all even when charging someone please help me!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Re: i was charging my iphone 3GS yesterday in electricity when once it turned off suddenly while it was in quarter battery. I tried charging it again but it didint open, i tried to plug it into my laptop but itunes didnt recognize it and it doesnt work.
Hello candymerna,
At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
Resetting your device

If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

Why does my MacBook Pro battery discharge even when the charger is plugged in?
I've been having a myriad of problems with my MacBook Pro's battery. The main problem is that when in use, the battery steadily discharges often at a very quick rate even when I have the charger plugged in, the only way I can get it to recharge is to close the lid or turn the computer off, however, it has recently started to take a very long time to recharge (I left it for 12 hours and it charged from 0% to 60%). I also noticed that while off, the charger light occassionaly goes green and then back to orange every few minutes. When I manage to get the battery up to 100% charge, it usually stays at 'Charged' for around 5 or 10 minutes and then it just comes up with 'Calculating...' as it slowly discharges, it also occassionaly claims that it is recharging and that it will take around 6 to 8 hours but it only charges about 1% of the battery and switches to 'Not charging'. Also, sometimes the charger light wont come on when it is plugged in and the Mac refuses to acknowledge it is plugged in for some time.
I took it to the Apple Store a few months ago and one of the Geniuses reset the System Management controller and did a quick hardware test which seemed to fix it but the problems returned soon after, I cannot enter the hardware test screen and subsequent attempts to reset the SMC have done nothing, he also tested the charger and tried it with another charger but it did not help. Hope you guys can help me as I am completely stumped by this and its beginning to annoy me as my Mac is becoming almost unusable.

My ipod froze so I restarted it, but then it happened again, so I restarted it again, and it was fine but then it ran out of battery. Now when I plug it into the charger it, the Apple sign comes up for 5 seconds then disappears, it doesn't turn on or come up with the charging sign. Is it not going to work again, or is ther something I can do? Please help.
