Iphone 4 scorched when charging

Last night I left my iphone 4 in my Philips DC315 'made for iphone' Alarm doc and now it is scorched at the connector and not sure it is charging anymore? Anyone else had this issue?

Sounds like some hardware failure with either the DC315 or the phone causing it to overheat and burn. I would try making an Appointment with Apple to see what they say.

  • HT1414 iPhone works okay when charging but often gets a white screen when I take it off charge

    iPhone works okay when charging but often gets a white screen when I take it off charge - I have tried resetting it and getting help online but the system asks me for an email address and my iPhone isn't set up for emails yet - if I got a text to trigger the automatic diagnostic service I could retrieve it from my 'poorly' device

    First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

  • Remove iPhone from case when charging?

    Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I would rather post a dumb question than really mess up. Once I read somewhere to take my iPod out of its case when I charge it, I guess it keeps it from getting too hot or something. My question is, should I take the iPhone out of its case (Marware leather flip vue) when I charge it, either at home or in the car?
    Many thanks in advance.

    The iPhone does not get particularly warm when charging, so it shouldn't normally be necessary to remove it from the case. If you're in an already-warm environment (e.g. a hot car) it's probably not a bad idea, though. High heat is bad for fully-charged batteries.
    Hope this helps...

  • Iphone get warm when charging?

    so i have a agent18 case for my ihpne when i charge it gets warm is that normal?
    also my wifi is on would it help if i turn the wifi off when not n use?
    thanks

    Yes, it's normal for the phone to get warm when charging; too hot to touch would be a problem. Good idea to remove it from the case when charging though.
    And yes, get into the habit of turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use, as they are major battery drainers.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unresponsive iphone starts up when chargeing but itunes will not pick up iphone

    iphone is unresponsive but when i plug it into the wall charger it comes on saying it needs to be restored but when i plug the iphone into the laptop it isnt comming on or pickin up the iphone so therefor can not restore anyone any ideas

    Clean the dock port very carefully with isopropyll alcohol, especially the pins, which are on top of the midrib. Be very thorough and firm but do not break anything. Let it dry for half a minute at least. Connect to computer, if nothing, clean again.

  • Iphone 3G overheated when charging - no longer charges

    Hi Everyone
    I had an incident last week where I went to stick some charge into my 3g phone before bed so that I could set my alarm etc for the morning. After 10 minutes I picked the phone up and it was pretty much too hot to touch, I later found a sliver of paper that was in the connector which was all burnt which has given me major cause for concern.
    Since the incident I was able to use the phone to listen to music on the train to work however it has not taken charge on any charger apart from one in my local O2 store.
    They tried both the charger I had charged on and one in their store, my cable and charger did not work wheras theirs charged immediately.
    I have tried buying a brand new cable, new 3rd party charger and also now tested on my sister in law's 3g cable and mains charger and none of these have shown the phone to be taking any charge. I have also tried charging via my usb 2.0 port directly from my PC and there should be no issues with poser on there with a 700w PSU.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed are welcome as I am now out of ideas.
    Thanks

    My 3g has just started doing this in the last two weeks. I usually have to do a reset on it to bring it out and even then it can take a while. There was a few times I had to let it completely discharge and then when plugged in it would reboot. It is doing this now about once or twice a week. Nothing is different on the phone and everything is pretty much off do to the I/OS 4 disaster. I have really like this phone until the problems with the O/S and now this. Wish there was a solution out there.

  • My iPhone 4 glitches when charging and I can't use my apps at all. Would the problem be that it's because my charger cable is broken?

    So today I tried to use social networking apps and games whole charging my phone and I noticed that it glitches when I use my phone while charging. Could thos be because my charger cable is broken?

    Sounds like your phone was previously jailbroken.

  • Apple earpiece not showing up when charging.

    Since the last OS upgrade my Apple iPhone earpiece no longer shows up on iPhone's screen when charging. Any ideas what has happened?

    It's not a problem.
    It depends on how long it has been off.

  • My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100% and will shut down itself.

    My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

    Hi Limfromsi,
    It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:
    iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2101
    If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

    I need help.
    I have looked on loads of forums but I seem to have 2 problems merged into one.
    The first one is that my phone will not charge, i have tried different USB ports, different plugs (the only thing i havent got round to yet is checking the actual cable). I have clean the phone where the cable goes.
    Also when i plug it into the computer, it says the USB is not being recognised and it also doesnt charge my phone.

    Hello rleighton,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the battery on your iPhone 5.  You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue already.  I found an article with a few additional steps you can take.
    I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):
    Resolving issues
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
