IPhone 4 is overheating after seconds of use, brightness won't work, and front camera is frozen. Suggestions as what is wrong?

So one day my front facing camera decided to just not work. I tried the restore and everything possible, it's just frozen.
Luckily the other camera works. Last week, I woke in the morning and used my phone like normal and I noticed it was so hot. I let it sit and it cooled down and then went on my Facebook app, where not even a minute within use started to get extremely hot. My battery life has decreased significantly and my phone also gets extremely hot when charging. The weird this is that whenever I'm making a phone call, It doesn't get hot and my guess is because the screen goes dim. So i tried turning down the brightness on my phone which it became apparent that my brightness switch doesn't work either. I have tried a restore but to no avail..
The fact that my phone is getting so hot so quick really scares me.Has anyone experienced anything similar? Even though the camera not working and the battery issue happened at different times, I thought I should bring it up in case they are in fact related. Thank you all so much.

I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

  • My macbook mouse/touchpad has stopped working. After 5 minutes ,the mouse won't click and I have to shut down. What's wrong?

    I have a white macbook, about 4 years old. Every time I use it, after five minutes, the mouse and touchpad stop working. You can still hear the click but it doesn't actually click anything on the screen, effectively freezing the computer. I have to just shut it down. What can i do about this?!? Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Cannot view pdf files on some site but Adobe plug-in test sites work and it is uo to date. What is wrong? Using FF5 under XP

    A new Firefox window is opened when I click on pdf file but it is blank with no menu or toolbars. Have enabled plug-in and it seems ok.

    I do not recall anything specific about other extensions preventing pdf use, so you will have to try them all. But first of all check again, just incase you merely needed to clear the cache and it is working again !
    The quickest method is to repeatedly slice into 1/2s until you find the guilty add-on
    Disable 1/2 of your add-ons and see if it works, if not working you know it is one of those you did not disable, disable 1/2 of them. (So you now have 3/4 disabled )
    It is also probably a good idea to at the same time check add-ons and plugins are up-to date.
    * Use Firefox button -> Add-ons |check plugins are up to date| <br/> or alternatively the link https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

  • I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

    After updating my iphone 5s to 7.1 ... the keyboard is crashing and it takes too long to respond, what is the solution? if there any link from which we can download the original 7.1 firmware for A1533 Version?

    Restoring the iPhone will reload its firmware.
    Plug the iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer.
    Let it sync.  Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

    If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
