HT1766 iPhone 5 gets very hot in a short time.

The iPhone 5 heats up so much I can hardly hold it even after only being on a short time. I thought it might be a Bluetooth issue so turned Bluetooth off but the problem persisted.

Just talking on the phone and surfing the web. Seems to make no difference how it is being used when it heats up. Also seems to make no difference if Bluetooth is on or off.
Not using a case.
BTW, the phone is a 5S, not a 5 as I previously wrote. Typo error.

  • 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?

  • TS3274 My iPad gets very hot even with short term use. Is this normal?

    My iPad gets very hot even with short term use. Is this normal?

    I assume that you mean your new iPad - the 3rd generation model. No - that is not normal. Some users have reported this issue and it may be that you have a faulty device.
    It may get a little warmer than the previous models of iPads but it should not get "very hot" under any circumstances. Return it - take it to an Apple Store and let a Genius have a look - contact Apple however you need to do so - and let them know about it - but that is NOT normal.

    It would not be uncommon for the 4S to get a LITTLE WARM while getting used with the screen on etc, but not to the point where it gets so hot that you cannot keep your finger on it.
    If you can easily replicate the problem and you got it from an Apple Store then I would make an appointment to have it looked at/replaced.
    If you got the 4S from elsewhere then I would get in contact with them and arrange for it to be looked at/replaced.

  • My iPhone 5 gets very hot while in use or just charging?

    Is it normal for the phone to get so hot while being used just for simple things like listening to music or charging

    Hi Lizard914,
    It is entirely possible that what you're experiencing is within normal limits. Here is an article with additional information:
    iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2101
    When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
    Take care,
    - Ari

  • 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.

  • IPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

    iPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

    Try some of these to save battery time:
    Settings>Notifications>[Turn off any notifications you don't need]
    Settings>General>Software Update (Make sure you're up to date)
    Settings>Brightness & Wallpaper> Auto-Brightness on (And that your brightness is not to the max)
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Turn off/Stop apps from using it
    Settings>Bluetooth>Off
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Manually
    Settings>Wi-Fi> Off (When you don't need internet when you're out and about)
    To stop overheating, note these:
    Operating Temperatures: 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)
    Non-Operating Temperatures: -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F)
    Hope this helps!

  • 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.
