HOT iPhone while charging to a wall charger

hey!
just wondering if anyone has experienced the same.
tonight while i was charging my phone to the wall outlet (the one with the changeable prongs) i noticed it getting very hot in the center of the phone. i then took off the case, and changed the cable (the cable was a lil old) and took it to another wall outlet and still got the same heat!
so after that i plugged it into my computer, and the temp went down to normal.
hmmmm.... any ideas?!

Yep, I've had the exact same problem. I thought it was just the case, but after I took that off for a few days, the phone still got hot every time I charge/sync it. I really don't think it's very good for the phone...

It's perfectly OK to use it while charging. It will get warmer than when it is not.

HT1476 How often the charging cycle to be done before the replacement of the battey. Likewise, is it ok to use the iphone while charging such as playing and watching movies. Please give me a reliable answer because this is my first time to use iphone.

Is it ok to use iphone while charging? Such as playing and wathing videos, or performing internet? How often the charging cycle to be done before the replacement of the battery? Can u please give me reliable answer because this is my first time to use iphone. I've wondering about the battery, since its built-in i wanted to care about the battery.

Yep, of course! It will neither stop your iPhone charging, nor deplete your iPhone battery.

Using Iphone while Charging

I was using my iphone 4s while plugged into the wall andi noticed the battery was decreasing. How is this possible if its plugged in?

If you think about it, keeping the phone plugged in limits the amount of cycles on your battery so that's a plus. If your phone is dead after 6 hours of off and on use (not solid talk time) and plummets from some battery to none, then you might want to talk to Apple. Otherwise I would recommend NOT USING a case while talking with the charger connected because charging tends to heat up electronics and heat is an enemy of battery life. Of course after a short while the relevant question will become 'Why is the phone cable so short?????'
Most of my electrical receptacles are at ground level, not into talking while laying on the floor. Just odd, considering the possible lengths of USB cables and the fact that some thought was put into the iPhone cable (no squeeze locks).
I always want my electronic devices charged up, I don't see that as unreasonable so I'd say you're fine as long as the device doesn't get extremely hot.

BAttery no longer showing on iPhone while charging

Last night when I charged my iPhone the big green battery was on the display the whole time. Tonight as I'm charging it the screen goes blank and I have to hit the home button to see the battery. Anyone else notice this change in behavior? If not then does you iPhone show the green battery while charging or does your screen go blank?
It's not a big deal but I was a little surprised to see the change.

The little battery in the upper right on my screen is NEVER green, even when the battery is fully charged. It's white, even when it is charging. On the other application screens, it is green or partially so, but not on the main one.
I'm not sure if you mean that battery icon, or the giant one that comes on when you start to charge. If you mean the big one, I have only seen it twice, and the other times, it goes to a black apple screen and then the regular main screen as it charges.

Using iphone while charging in home or car??

Could that create any battery problems if done daily? I use the phone off and on for about 6 hours and the battery takes a dive then. I have to start switching off the wifi as I am not in that environ most of the time. Thanks!

Will using iphone while charging use up battery cycle?

battery capacity decreases as we repeat charging / using the phone.
but what if we use it while it is being charged? will it just use power from
the power source or charge+use up batter at the same time?
i hope it can just use draw power from the external power source and leave
the battery alone if it's full, then I can just use bluetooth and leave
the phone in the dock to not waste battery cycles.

There are two issues here. A cycle is the EQUIVALENT of one complete use of the battery from fully charged to depleted. But it can take place over multiple uses and charges. There is no way to avoid using cycles (or portions of them) other than leaving the phone plugged in all the time. Which brings us to issue two:
The worst thing you can do to your battery (other than letting it get very hot) is to leave it plugged in all the time. This is not because it will overcharge. As others have pointed out, the phone is smart enough to prevent overcharging. But li-ion polymer batteries like to get some "exercise" to say fresh. Apple recommends the equivalent of at least one cycle per month. If it's plugged in constantly, it will not get enough exercise and its capacity will diminish.

Slow performance while charging

I've recently installed a Pass & Seymour model TM8-USBWCC6 wall charger in my home. It provides two USB ports with 5VDC 2.1 amp charging ability. When connecting an iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, performance on the phones greatly decreases. I have only tested with these two devices. I tend to use my iPhone while charging but I can't even do that anymore because of how slow it runs. Any thoughts as to what can be causing this? I am using an Apple lightning cable. The charging itself appears to be running fine with no errors.

Try the SMC and PRAM resets again:

Run an Apple Hardware Test. Perhaps that will give a clue.

IPhone not charging and using more battery power while on charger and getting hot

I have an iPhone 4 and have had issues with it charging. This has happened 3-4 times over the past few months, where I put it on the wall charger prior to going to sleep and wake up with 17-20% battery power. Last night I placed it on the charger with approximately 70% battery power. I believe it charged to 100%, I left it on the charger and when I woke this morning the phone was hot (hotter than charging it with the USB) and the power was at 17%. Any suggestions on what I can do to rectify this issue? After the iOS upgrade it did and I reset the phone, ran the power completely out and charged 100%. I don't have any more apps open than usual. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Having a similar problem with my 3G IPhone. Battery life is fine but once I plug it in to charge it won't charge. I have to reset my phone and then it will start to charge as long as I unplug it and then plug it in again. This problem is something that is intermittent. I reinstalled the firmware but the problem did not go away. Something that I have noticed is that when this takes place usually the GPS function cannot find my current location at the same time. Once the phone is rest the GPS is fine. The fact that I have reloaded the firmware and the problem has not gone away leads me to think that this is a hardware problem. Well we will see soon I am going to take it in to get checked out. This is sort of annoying but I love the IPhone it is great!!!!

Short ring-like tone while iPhone is charging

While using the wall a/c unit for charging, my iPhone emits a short ring every 5 minutes. It doesn't make this sound while charging through a USB connection. I've restarted the phone a few times, but still have this issue. This is a problem at night while trying to sleep. Turning the phone to silent works, but then I may miss important calls.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Has anyone seen a resolution?

I haven't had the chance to thoroughly troubleshoot this issue, but the problem seems to occur only with a specific outlet in my kitchen. I've tried other cables, made sure there's a secure connection, but that outlet always causes the problem previously mentioned. My father-in-law is an electrician, so I'm going to have him check it out.
In my case, I don't think it's a problem with the iPhone. Although it'd be nice if the "charge" sound was included in the Settings so you can turn it off.

While charging iphone with usb adapter supplied with the phone power line gets blown up ?

While charging my IPHONE 4S with the USB adapter supplied along with iphone the power line gets blown up every time and I am left only with the option to recharge through the USB port of my laptom.Any remedy?

Have you tried other outlets? That may be an electrical problem in your house, worse case scenario. Try other USB wall adapters.
