IPhone 3g charged for 2hours... and overheating

I charged my phone as soon as I got home - about 6pm - at about 815pm picked it up to head to the store.... and it was HOT! Tried to make a call and it was overheated.... very hot against my cheek/ear. Felt like my iBook with the battery problems.
BTW I have a white 16gb phone, for comparison purposes. I got this Saturday and never had the problem before.

If you have a case try charging with the case off and see if that helps.

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and maybe:
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4060 my ipad has been charging for days and not taking the charge what else can be wrong.?

i have an apple i pad 16 gb...i have it charging for days and its not taking the charge what else can i try...

Could be the charger, cable or the iPad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

From the above link...
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

Can I have two phone lines on my iPhone 4G (one for biz and one for personal calls)?

Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

IPhone 3gs charger port melted and home button is super hard

My iPhone was charging over night and in the morning I found that charger and the iPhone was melting and now it doesn't turn on and doesn't charge what do I do now?

Make an appointment at an Apple store, if still under warranty all will be replaced if determined to be a hardware failure not caused by user misuse. If you're out of warranty, Apple offers an out of warranty replacement program, the cost in the US is $199.

10W charger for iPad and 8W for iPhone...

May seem a daft question (sorry!) but if I accidentally used the iPad plug for the iPhone, thereby charging it 2W higher than it 'should be', will it damage the iPhone? If yes, why do they look identical?! If no, I don't suppose it matters, just want to find out before I accidentally do it as I can see that day coming a mile off...!

Wattage is a measure of power, not of voltage.
The difference is the amount of power the adapter can provide.
"Excess" power is not an issue, the lack of power is.
So for example, if you try and charge an iPad with a lower wattage adapter, it may not charge at all or will take longer to charge.
But it will not hurt to charge your iPhone or iPod with the higher power iPad adapter.

GrabIt charger for iPad2 and iPhone

I am trying to purchase a back up car charger for my iPad2 and iPhone. I've compared price and found GrabIt charger has the best price and it's selling in the local stores http://http://shop.grabitcase.com/index.php?cPath=41&osCsid=6f0e77dcf06f3ed533df 8e019648aec7 but I need to know if this is Apple licensed product or not? Some people say this GrabIt charger is certified by Apple, but some people say it's a copy accessory. I need help before making the purchase because I am afraid it would damage my iPads. Thank you. James

While this may be the most acceptable explanation, and probably accurate one, it would be nice to hear one from Apple. While playing movies may be more computationally intensive than navigating through icons on your device, playing games with interaction may push the limits beyond usability. This I understand and appreciate.
While I'm a big proponent of forward development, I do agree maintaining backward compatibility at the expense of performance doesn't exactly equate to innovation. However, maintaining at least one release version, especially less than 1 year old, isn't exactly asking too much. Although we are all quite aware that purchasing new equipment is the convenient solution, you can't help having an audience with new technology and hardware purchased within the last year be somewhat disappointed. This would have been a nice feature. It is what it is.
