Excessive Heat when charging

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:

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%

After updating my 3gs to ios5 nothing works properly the phone is slow, no service, rapid battery drain, excessive heat when in use for longer periods of time, does not connect to vehicle stereo through usb, and screen is on but not responding to control

my 3gs battery dies rapidly and gives off excessive heat when in use no service anywhere, slow reponse time sometimes not at all like lights on but no one home, calls drop can text no 3g can not connect to vehicle usb as a note i restored the phone from my back up

Same problems, unfortunatley I updated to 5.0 1 hour before going on holiday for three weeks and no way to restore my phone to try to remove it.At the same time, drop outs, range problems and the most annoying was my music and apps were corrupted and would not function properly :-(

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.

Is it normal when iPad Air heats while charging or in normal/gaming use?

Is it normal when iPad Air heats while charging or in normal gaming use?

Yes, when playing graphic intensive games.
It should only be slightly warm when you charge.

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.

What is the normal temperature for MacBook Pro's when charging?

I really wanted to know because sometimes I feel like my MacBook Pro is too hot. I don't want anything to melt in there. So I decided to download a temperature monitor.
What is the highest healthy temperature a MacBook Pro can reach?
Also ---
What is the average temperature of a MacBook Pro?
Thank you so much! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I have a NewerTech external charger with an inbuilt battery calibrator. It provides 2 charging methods: it either fast charges or conditions (calibrates) the battery. Fast charging, which fully charges the battery in about 2 hours, causes the battery to noticeable heat up. However, conditioning, which discharges then recharges the battery, is so gradual that the battery remains cool (at ambient temperature).
The charger has 2 slots (for 2 batteries) and will charge or condition 1 or 2 batteries but not at the same time. For example, it will fast charge one battery and when finished switch to conditioning the second battery. This charging regime means the universal power supply connected to the charger can be less powerful (and smaller), i.e., it will deliver sufficient current to fast charge one battery at a time. Batteries may be left in the charger which automatically switches to trickle charge when continuous charging finishes.
The heat generated by the battery in the MBP is caused by fast charging and whilst I have never made any temperature recordings of the base of my MBP I can confirm that sometimes it gets so hot that it can be painful if in contact with the skin, e.g. resting on ones lap. This is normal. The battery also heats up when the MBP is running solely on battery power. Excessive heat could indicate a battery fault and it should be removed and examined immediately as any distortion, e.g., swelling, can damage the MBP.
An external charger/conditioner is useful if you have a spare battery, or two.
Regards
Phil

Over heating on charge and it is no longer showing anything on the screen

My iPhone 5 is over heating on charge and it is no longer showing anything on the screen. I was using it when the screen went white and it hasn't worked since. I have tried to both restart it and to restore it. as the screen doesn't not work it is hard to tell the condition of the phone. However it occasionally makes the lock noise when pushing the lock button and also occasionally vibrates when operating the side switch. I can not leave it plugged in on charge as it gets very hot and it is no longer recognised in iTunes unless i put it in recovery mode.
Has anyone else has this problem or can recommend a solution. I bought it second hard a while ago so it is not under any warranty.
Thank you

Sounds like the battery has become unstable
Take it to an Apple store Genius bar for evaluation Suggest you do not attempt to charge any more
at worse Apple may offer an Out of Warranty exchange device identical to donor
In UK price over the counter is £209

Iphone overheats and shuts down when charging ?

hello,
since i have had my iphone 4s replace in april my iphone overheats and shuts down when charging?
can anyone help?

My 4S has recently shut down twice so far due to heat: Once in 100+ deg. in Arizona, when I left the phone in direct sunlight too long (that'll kill anything), and once just today, 96 deg. in Colorado, with the phone in my shirt chest pocket, not in direct sunlight. Each time, the phone was also encased in the hermetically sealed "Lifeproof" case, which probably contributed to heat build-up. If you're using a similar case with yours, either make sure to keep the phone in a cooler, shaded area, or just take it out of the case when the temps are this high. Definitely don't leave it in direct sunlight! In my case, although the 4S seems more heat-sensitive than my previous iPhones, I still find this behavior within acceptable parameters. But I wonder whether the overheating episodes might cause permanent damage...?

Excessive Heat from 23" Displays

Has anyone heard of excessive heat coming from the 23" display when you have 2 attached to a new G5? The heat comes directly from the screens. This is not for me but a friend has this problem and has asked if I knew of anyone that could help.

By "comes directly from the screens" does your friend mean that he/she can feel heat being emitted right from the front surface of the screen? Is that the objection? I can tell you that an LCD backlight is not completely free of near infra-red emissions. You will feel heat being thrown directly at you from the screen. But it is generally a pretty small amount until you get into large size, LCD TVs that have several, large backlight tubes. If you put your hand or face up close to one of those screens, you will feel a significant amout of radiated heat, like a space heater.
The amout of infra-red heat will diminish in proportion to the backlight level. Tell your friend to try turning down the brightness, if possible. That will also cut the heat coming through the screen.

No Signal When Charging

Anyone else experiencing this?
I have iPhone 4 (4.3.1 8G4, MC603X) and Kensington "Charge and Sync" dock.
When charging I get "No Service" — if I remove it from the charger and stand the phone +1 inch+ from the charger, the signal comes on after about 5 seconds.
It's the same if I use a standard Apple USB iPhone cable.
Within seconds of placing the phone back in the charger, the "No Service" message returns.
I'd really like to keep my phone charging and still get calls when I'm in my office.
Curiously, when I'm in the car, and the phone is on the cradle charger there, I keep signal; but the signal is stronger in the car than in my office.
Does charging reduce reception on iPhone 4?
Carrier is Telstra in Australia.

When you say it overheats does the phone display a warning that it is too hot, or is it just your perception? An iPhone will get quite warm if the cellular signal is weak or there is no cell networ available. If you are charging at the same time the heating from charging is additive to the weak signal heat (which is due to the fact that the phone must increase its output power to maintain or find a network connection).

Computer Slow (Unusable) When Charger Plugged In

Hi, For a few months I've been having issue with a periodically slow computer.As it says it the title of this post, I noticed that when my computer is plugged in, it runs so slow that it is unsable. I have all my drivers up to date, I have checked that my power options are set to maximum when on charger, etc.
If I remove the battery and plug the computer : same problem.If I use my HP docking station (power cord in the docking station instead of the computer directly) : same problem.I cleaned my Event Logs (after backing them up): same problem.I checked for unwanted processes when charger is plugged : nothing significant.The computer is not heating when plugged in, fan is running fine, I have the active cooling setting enabled, and no temperature alerts. I've read on some shaddy forums that the problem could just be my power cord being defective. It that possible?Is there a way to verify this assumption before buying a new power cord? Could it be the plug FROM the computer that is defective or since the problem also happened when docked is it unlikely? Thank you in advance for any answer/input/information. MCC

Try resetting the SMC first http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
Then check your battery version System/library/systemconfiguration and check is 1.2 if it is 1.3 drag it to trash and reboot then run software update to install 1.2
Check firmware update in applications/utilities
Finally calibrate the battery http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/9036.html
If none of those help welcome to the club of the sudden shutdown...

Remove iPhone from case when charging?

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I would rather post a dumb question than really mess up. Once I read somewhere to take my iPod out of its case when I charge it, I guess it keeps it from getting too hot or something. My question is, should I take the iPhone out of its case (Marware leather flip vue) when I charge it, either at home or in the car?
Many thanks in advance.
Jan3

The iPhone does not get particularly warm when charging, so it shouldn't normally be necessary to remove it from the case. If you're in an already-warm environment (e.g. a hot car) it's probably not a bad idea, though. High heat is bad for fully-charged batteries.
Hope this helps...

Nano getting hot when charging

I have a wall charger for my Nano, and everytime I use it Nano and the charger itself get so hot that it is hard to touch or pick it up. Fearing that the alarming heat might damage the battery, I decided to stop using the charger.
The puzzling part is that when I charge my Nano via my computer, it does not heat up. The Nano only heats up when I use the wall charger, and the charger heats up along with it. Is there something wrong with my Nano, or the charger I bought?
And yes, the charger and the Nano gets abnormally hot while charging - not the normal heat when you charge through an adapter.

I would suspect the charger. If it were me, I wouldn't be using it again until I got it thoroughly checked out.
