IPhone 4s hot and decreases charge percent when on charge?

My iphone 4s has been getting really hot whilst on charge and increases percentage and then decreases. E.g. it goes to 20% then down to 4%. I have had my phone for a year now and I charge it most nights while i am asleep.

Clear background apps and Reset. Press the Home button twice quickly, in the new row of icons at screen bottom, hold on an icon until the Red Minus Signs appear, tap all the Red Minus Signs. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • Iphone 5 getting hot and losing charge, iphone 5 getting hot and losing charge

    Since returning from far east my iphone 5 is now getting very hot and losing charge within half a day at maximum

    It is normal for the phone to be warm when the device is being used, or charged.  If it is uncomfortably so, you should probably visit an Apple Retail store and have them take a look, or call AppleCare if you are still under warranty.  They can run a diagnostic to see if there is a problem (But the apple retail store can likely do more as they can visually inspect the device in addition to the diagnostic test).

    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!

  • My phone is getting hot and not charging

    does anyone know what would cause my phone to run hot and not charge?

    Hey Thoti12,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues charging your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:

    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.
    1. 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.
    2. Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    3. Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    4. 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.
    5. If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    6. If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Only the previous owner can help you.  They either need to provide you with the ID and password to delete the existing account, or erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  If they aren't willing to do that, return it and ask for your money back.

  • Macbook Pro 17 (early 2009) gets really hot and MagSafe Charger.

    My Macbook Pro 17 (early 2009) just recently started getting VERY hot after about 15 minutes of normal use. Even hotter faster with fan blowing like crazy when using programs such as quicktime (recording). According to my Mac HD, I have 168 GB available out of 285 GB capacity. The laptop gets very hot especially in the top left corner area around where the charger plugs in. And yes it is on flat surface. Any ideas on why this is doing this?
    On top of the laptop getting hot, the original charger that came with it doesnt charge all the time. The white box where the AC plug is gets very hot as well. I bought a new MagSafe charger (the new "L" type) literally a year ago and the box on this one also gets VERY hot and the connector with LED light (part that connects to laptop) get EXTREMELY hot. Any help would be appreciated. My apple care is up and I think its rediculous to have to pay for any type of support now. Thanks.

    I bought a new MagSafe charger (the new "L" type)
    Is it the correct one for your model Macbook Pro?

  • IPhone 4 hot and low battery life?

    Why does my I phone 4 have such a small battery life? And it is running hot

    Hello Bmay121,
    Thank you for providing the details about the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I found a couple of resources that may help address this issue.
    First, I recommend following these steps if your iPhone has a short battery life:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    You can also find useful information about the iPhone's operating temperatures in this article:When troubleshooting temperature, please refer to the following article:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): 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. If the interior temperature of the device exceeds the normal operating range, the device will protect its internal components by attempting to regulate its temperature. If this occurs, you may notice the following:
    The device stops charging.
    The display dims or goes black.
    If the temperature continues to be a concern, you can isolate the issue by restoring your iPhone as new:

  • IPhone become hot and the  battery drop

    Hi All,
    My iPhone is having problem. My iPhone is 3Gs, 32 GB, OS 4.2
    My problem is: the phone suddenly become hot and make the battery drop, and it's already happened for 1,5 weeks. It seems my iPhone is reading something (perhaps some application) but I don't know what.
    Can someone help me?

    There is some application that is stuck trying to send data. The most common app to have this problem is email, but first try a full reset (if you haven't already: Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, ignoring "Slide to power off",
    If this doesn't fix it next try the following:
    Go into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar. Tap each email account that uses PUSH and turn it off (turn off the ACCOUNT, not PUSH). Close Settings and open the email account; verify that the account does not appear. Then exit Mail to the Home screen and do a reset again.
    Once the phone comes back on go into Settings and turn the email accounts back on. Fully charge the phone and test it again.
    If you still have a problem you may have to restore the phone. Connect to iTunes and click the Restore button. If you have previously restored or updated and that did not fix it this time set up as a new phone.
