GPS intense apps= hot iphone?

So im not to concernd really but I made an observation and wanted to see if its occurred to others iphones.
The other day i as using a app on my iphone that was using the gps to track my position. THe phone didnt turn off because the app was in use. After awhile i noticed the phone was getting warm. and it remained that way until i quit the app and turned the phone off. Is this a concern? Also I think read somewhere that it is best to charge the ipod or even iphone without a case on because the case insulates the iphone?What is the best way to charge?
thanks

Thanks for the added information and link to the KB article about the sensors. My phone did not give me a visual warning, rather just refused to charge once heat reached the maximum level. This is the point where I had to turn Airplane Mode on and put the phone in the refrigerator to cool because I thought it would melt itself, literally.
I have a Genius Bar appointment this evening to let them take a look, thank goodness it's still under warranty.
Somewhat loosely related to the comment about Apps needing location data when there isn't anything being provided directly. I want Apple to do the right thing and notify the end user, upon enabling location data for an App, if it will be used for marketing purposes.

    Can the compass app in iphone be set to display GPS as degrees.decimal degrees?

    Not done yet as of iOS 8.1.3
    Maybe in 8.1.4?

  • HT1975 Some of my apps and iphone info tells me to go to "settings" and in "settings" go to "location services" to enable apps such as a golf app to use gps .  When I go to "settings" there is no option called "location services". Why not?

    Some apps and iphone info tells me to go to "settings" and in "settings" choose "location services".  Under settings on my phone there is no "location services". What's up with that?

    Pick the appropriate link for the version of iOS installed on your device.
    FYI, the iPhone 4S never ran iOS4 so the link from which the questions was posted is not relevant to your device.

  • New iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings)

    iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings). It apprently needs to be both viaible and turned on in Settings/General/Location Services in order for the app to discover previously taken video (Location Services correctly recognizes other apps of mine that utilize location-aware services).
    I think the following is related to and caused by this problem above: iMovie App for iPhone 4 is not recognizing video clips I have made, whether they're in Photo Album, or iPhone 4 native movies that have been throughout this process: [sync with iPhoto on Mac > save to to iPhoto album > sync album to iPhone 4].

    Just had this same problem. The solution is to turn Location Services on before launching iPhone iMovie.
    Yes, iMovie needing GPS coordinates is crazy, as is the error message that doesn't correctly explain the problem. Looks like a bit of a rush job.

  • GPS Issue w/ my iPhone

    How do I improve the GPS connection for my iPhone when I run/cycle?  It's beyond finding open sky..  Using RunTracker App and not having luck

    There's no setting for Location Services other than On/Off.  You can try to reset your network settings.  How does it work with the Maps app?  Maybe try another app?
    FWIW, my 3G works very well with the maps app... in open sky, I'm within 10-15 ft., sometimes better.  I'm sure some of this is how accurate the maps are as well.

  • Any GPS/NAVI apps with video out feature??

    Are there any GPS navigation apps out there for the iPhone that will work with the video out? My car stereo has an audio/video input, I have the a/v connector and I'd love to run a GPS app for navigation and display the NAVI video and audio on my head units audio input. I know that some dont support the video output feature, know of any that do?

    I just tested it on my Nokia N8 (Running Symbian Anna ) and Nokia Beta Labs latest version of the Camera application.
    I have set so capturing geolocation information is saved for video. 
    I Record a video and as you say if you playback the video right away Choose Options -> Details  I get the GPS location shown.
    I  then go to Meny -> Photos
    Choose the Check button (bottom left)
    Then select the Video, then go to Options -> Details
    I also get the GPS coords under Location here. 
    This location data is not shown if you show details under Meny -> Videos though..

  • Can you block gps tracking on your iphone

    Can I block gps tracking on my iphone?

    What GPS tracking?
    GPS provides your location to Apps within the iPhone.     You can manage what apps have access to Location Services in Settings->Privacy->Location Services. You can turn location Sharing to other devices there too.
    If you have Find My iPhone turned on, it uses the iPhone's GPS location to find it in icloud.com.
    You can turn this off in Settings->iCloud.

    when i purchase ringtones and they download directly to the music app on iphone, how can I move them to SOUNDS in SETTINGS so I can assign to various functions please?

    You would have to create the ringtones.
    Google will find several way to do this.
    You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.

  • Printer control app for iphone

    is it possible to roll back to a previous version of the Printer Control app for iphone?  I recently and stupidly updated the HP Printer Control app when offered through itunes on October 30 and have lost all the functionality I previously had to print directly from my iphone to my photosmart 7520.  Previously I could print whatever pages I chose from Safari and could change the print settings for either draft or normal, colour / black & white before printing.  Now when I try to print a page, you don't get the option to just print page 1 and it wastes ink.  If I open a pdf (all I've tried so far) document within this new AiO Remote app - even though my printer is listed and supposedly set up - I can't print at all!  I desperately want to ditch this abysmal update and go back to the version that worked perfectly.  I have conctacted Apple and they were unable to help as it's a third party app and referred me back to HP.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    Hi brattynat. I have found a few older documents which might help you revert back.
    Just to clarify, when you print from Safari, what are you clicking exactly to start your printing process?
    How do I downgrade an iPhone app to a previous version?:

  • My weather app from iPhone is not updating

    Since Saturday, my weather app from iPhone 5 hasn't been updating sometimes.
    All of a sudden, it starts working again.
    - Why does that happen?
    - Is there any solution?
    Thanks!

    Hello thiagok91,
    I have a few recommendations for this issue you describe. First if you havent already, restart the phone.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists after that, then I suggest toggling the Location Services off and then back on in settings outlined here:
    Turning Location Services on or off
    You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which applications and system services have access to Location Services data.
    Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
    From: iOS 6: Understanding Location Services          http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5467
    And if needed, you may need to quit the app, and re launch it.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

    Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

    One day I tried to dictate a note and discovered the microphone was grayed out.  As someone suggested I did a hard reset of my iPhone 4S and that didn't solve the problem.
    Then I had an epiphany.  I use the Notes app a lot and have a lot of Notes stored in the app.  I tried deleting some of my many notes and "viola!" the microphone is black again.  My guess is the app has some kind of storage limit and when you hit that limit, the microphone is automatically turned off.  Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I try to open iTunes app on iPhone 5, it starts to open then closes straight away, I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 and it has been like this since I upgraded!

    When I try to open iTunes app on iPhone 5, it starts to open then closes straight away, I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 and it has been like this since I upgraded!

    I also had this problem. Go to settings> itunes & app store, tap on your apple ID and sign out. Then open itunes store. It should now open.
    Then sign back in again and the problem should be resolved

  • How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    If it's an app made only for iPad, you can't.  Some developers make apps which will work on both devices (the + sign in the download button indicates).  Some apps are made specifically for one device, and there may be separate versions for each device (so you have to pay twice!).  You can install an iPhone-only app on an iPad (but it usually doesnt look great), but you cannot put a phone-only app on an iPad.
