I want to know why my phone gets really hot in use and not in use.

I am using a iPhone 3GS 16GB, been using it for over a year now. Recently, it has been heating up regularly. I understand if it on charge. But everytime I use my phone to play games or reply text messages for no longer then 15mins, it gets heated up so much. Occasioanally, it heats up even when its not in use and when I've forced shut down my apps. Why is that so ?

What iOS version are you running? There have been cases where people have been complaining of their iPhone 3G/3GS overheating. If you have a white version of the 3GS, watch out because this can cause discoloration.

Phone gets really hot while using the YouTube app.............

My iPhone gets really hot while using YouTube. Is/has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned?I did a search and only came up with threads talking about the phone getting warm while charging, my phone does not get hot/warm while charging, only when using YouTube and sometimes while using Safari. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

When connected via WiFi or EDGE or no difference.
My iPhone sometimes gets considerable warm when connected via EDGE with low reception but this is rare when connected via WiFi or with good reception.

I want to know about my phone whether it is factory unlocked or not???

Dear Concern,
i want to know about my phone whether it is factory unlocked or not???
Need your kind support in this regards.

Ask whoever you bought it from or call Apple Care and give them the serial number. If you'd purchased it from an authorized source, you wouldn't have this problem.

some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

can you get the another.
thank you

You're not addressing Apple here, this is a user to user support forum.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

I had same issue, apple give me a new phone, they say it might be software problem, but the 2nd phone has fast drain too, I took it to apple , they restored my phone as new, and iCloud backed up my contact. I thought about the whole thing, I used to sync it to my window, but this time I synced it with my Mac. 87% at 3:30pm. I think that window has bugs. It is not my iPhone 5's problem. After all those stressful days.

My macbook has recently started getting really hot after using it for a brief time, is there something wrong

Hi
My macbook has started getting really hot after using it for only maybe 10 minutes or so, it can go up to 73 degrees quite quickly, I am only surfing the net etc but have a few pages open at the same time.
Also should I switch it off after I finish using it or is it ok to leave it in sleep mode for long periods of time......
it is about 1 year old
thanks

First try a SMC reset:

If there is no change, install istat menus:

Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and %CPU to display values from high to low.
Look for a process that consumes a large % of CPU.
You may post images of both for inspection.

IPhone 4 battery drains really fast and phone gets really hot

I have an iPhone 4 and since November 15 my battery has been draining really fast and gets really hot when I use the phone. When I try to charge the phone with my computer it doesn't charge, but only charges with the wall hub. I have tried deleting the email accounts, deleting all apps, restoring with the backup, restoring without the backup, and still no luck. I went to the Apple store and they briefly looked at it and said it had water damage by looking at the water damage indicator in the charging port. They told me I needed to pay $150 for a new phone. I don't recall getting my phone getting wet and it seems to work fine except for the battery drain and the computer charging problem. iTunes still recognizes the phone. I thought it was a battery problem so I ordered a new battery and replaced it myself and the battery was still draining fast. When I had the phone open the other water damage indicators were still white (no water damage), it was just the charging port indicator that was red (water damaged). Also, when I charge my phone with the wall hub it charges very slowly. I have ran out of ideas and I could really use some suggestions. Thank you.

i looked on the right there is no solution to my problem.i charge my phone to 100% after 2 hours with no usage at all of the phone with 3G off with wifi off with all applications shut down all notifications and locations off battery goes down to 50% when it was running on the older ios never had this problem in my iphone.when will this problem solved

Why do I get 'mobile me' in settings and not icloud? when I try to go into it, it says not responding, try later.

Hi
Could anyone help me with this please?
Why do I get 'mobile me' in settings on my imac and not 'icloud'? when I try to go into it, it says not responding, try later.
Thanks

Why do I get 'mobile me' in settings on my imac and not 'icloud'?
Because your operating system is too old. iCloud was introduced in Mac OS X 10.7.4 and later. You can upgrade through the Mac App Store. The latest version is Mac OS X 10.9.3 and is free if your Mac is capable of running it (late 2007 IMac's and newer).
when I try to go into it, it says not responding, try later.
MobileMe was shut down forever a few years ago, that's why it doesn't work any more.

I want to know WHY when I am surfing the net I am getting GARBAGE SPAM CRAP that I don't get on other browsers, ONLY Firefox??????

I want to know WHY I am getting pop ups, spam windows and a host of other crap when I am browsing the internet? I use 2 other browsers and do NOT get the crap I get from Firefox. I am sick and tired of naked ladies and a host of other items that open a new window.

this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

IPad 3 gets really hot. Is this normal?

My ipad3 gets really hot while using...is this normal?

I actually have this problem with an old iPad. I have used it for over 3 years, and in the last few weeks, both my wife's iPad and mine have started getting very hot during extended use. I don't see anything in the discussion, but is this a function of IOS 8.0.2, rather than dependent on the iPad? I cannot say for sure we noticed it right at the time we did the OS upgrade, but it seems like it was about that time. Just to be really clear, the heating is recent behavior. It did not happen for the first 3 years we had our ipads. Now they get so hot we cannot keep using them on our laps after 20-30 minutes. And is is not the weather or ambient temperature. It happens when it is 65 F. Have not been able to find out why, or how to limit whatever processes are generating the extra heat.
also, battery life got shorter. Probably because so much energy is turning into heat.

I have an eight GB iPhone 3G, but when on iTunes on my Mac, it says my phone only has 6.9 GB of space total. I just want to know why this is, and if I am able to get a new phone because of malfunction.

You don't have a malfunction. Read this: How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419

HT201412 My Ipad quit working - it's 2 years old. I called Apple and they basically told me that it's done. I can pay 249.00 to get a reburbished Ipad 1, or buy a new one. I want to know why it died? They mentione it could be the hard drive.

My Ipad 1 quit working after 2 years. Was never dropped, abused, etc. Just quit the other night. Went to the Apple store, called the support line and they tell me that since the warranty is up I can pay 249.00 for a refurbished Ipad or buy a new one. Not happy at all. I want to know why it quit. The person I talked to at Support says he doesn't know what happened. He says it sounds like my hard drive crashed. ANyone else have this problem? I am so mad.

If the tech you talked to said anything about a "hard drive", he was completely ignorant or misspeaking rather badly. The iPads have no hard drive; the storage is all solid state. You may wish to talk to another technician, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there's one near you, and confirm the diagnosis of a hardware failure.
If you've confirmed that it is indeed a hardware failure, then you can pay the replacement price, find an independent iPad service shop and see if they can do a repair for less, or buy a new iPad. If it were me I would put the money toward a new, or at least newer, iPad rather than pay the replacement charge. You can get some good deals on refurbished iPad 2 and third-generation iPads from the Apple Store, any of which will run the most current versions of iOS, something which the first-gen iPad will not, and would come with a full warranty (which could be extended to two years with AppleCare).
As to why your iPad failed, it's impossible to say with any certainty. The circuitry could have had a tiny flaw that finally failed, or the iPad could have received a static shock, something quite common in many areas in the winter when the air is dry. Sorry it happend to you, but anything can fail.
Regards.
