IPhone 5 getting hot and losing charge quickly

My iPhone loses charge within 5 hours, even on standby or when it's completely turned off. I took to to the apple store and they ran a test and said it was my battery, so I bought a new one. This didn't help. I also tried resetting to factory settings and this didn't work either. And yes I've tried the obvious things like closing apps, turning off Bluetooth, etc. help!

I have had my iphone 4s since April and after the initial required charge I have always chargd it daily every morning for about 90 mins or until it shows 100% charged. But, since middle of last week it is losing charge very quicky coming down from 100% to zero and switching itself off after about 6 hours ?? To give it the best possible chance I have switched off Bluetooth and made sure all apps are off.
I booked an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and after telling me that I need to charge the phone for 6 hours daily regardless of the battery level indicator showing 100% they replaced the battery with a new one and sent me packing. Last night I charged it as advised for at least 6 hours and guess what from 100% to switching itself off due loss of charge took about 6 hours !!!
I will return to the "Genius" Bar on Thursday to try again.

    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).

  • 8520 curve battery getting hot and not charging

    Hi I have a problem with my 8520 curve battery. It keeps getting hot and won't charge properly. Phone is just over a year old. Is this common? Should I buy a new battery, or should these be replaced by Blackberry? Has anyone had a similar issue?

    Hi DaveG307
    Are you using an official BlackBerry charger or a 3rd party charger?
    Thanks

  • 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:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    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.

  • My Iphone gets hot and wont hold a charge for more than 8 hrs

    My Iphone 5c gets hot even when i dont have a protective case on it but it is worse when it is charging. The battery will only hold a charge for at most 8hrs, i have taken it into the store and they always say nothing is wrong with it. I find that hard to believe since my old iphone that was 2 years old lasted longer. I have already turned my backlight down and turned off notifications. Any ideas?

    Charging has always been recommended without an iOS device in a case...many of those do not allow heat to dissipate.
    Turn down screen brightness, turn off things you don't need, like Bluetooth if not being used, change the Mail push timing so it is less frequent...all things that use energy should be stretched out to save battery time.

  • 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 get hot when on charge but wont charge or connect to itunes??

    For the last few days my iphone has been playing up. First of all the screen went funny. I had a bright white screen to start with, then it changed to the apple symbol stuck on the screen for awhile, the screen wouldnt turn off and felt very hot. I tried doing the reset (home + on button) quite alot but it just flashes off then back to the apple symbol, Iv plugged it in to the charger and to the laptop but no joy. The battery finaly went flat so all that comes up on the screen now is the empty red battery symbol, when I plug it in to charge the red battery symbol stays on the screen but doesnt charge and gets very hot!!! Its a 3gs what can I do?? Any ideas??

    Hi,
    I have the same trouble. After reading many internet sites around this subject I found the following solution.
    Although apple explained that it is not necessary with the lightning connector to use it in a special direction this seems not to be true.
    I have just turned my connector by 180° and it is working again.
    Hopefully this direction does not fail too. There are only 2 possibilities

  • On the 3rd day, my battery became FIRE HOT and LOST CHARGE QUICKLY

    First, I LOVE my iPhone 4, it's amazing, but I did want to at least share what happened to me this week. My iPhone 4 battery started going from 100% charge to 40% in 90-minutes - It was only in standby mode. The phone became VERY HOT, especially around the steel edges. I called Apple Care and they said "Do not use the phone because it could be hazardous" and advised I go to an Apple store. I did, and they exchanged it after verifying it wasn't safe. Apple has the best customer care on Earth. While I was there, someone else was there exchanging their phone for the same reason - They have a secret stash in the back packaged in unmarked small black boxes, just for this reason. Anyway, the phone rep at Apple confirmed to me that there is a battery issue with the new phones. They guy at the Apple store who helped me said he has seen few issues for signal or the yellow screen, but a lot of hot batteries that do not hold a charge.

    That's really interesting, my iPhones battery is horrendous, I've just finished reassuring it, powering it back up to see whether I can improve the situation (looses 26% charge in standby at night when I slept for 7 hours. My first comment to my friend was, the iPhone 4 was amazing, but was very warm. Will be interesting to see if my problems over with this reset, or if I too have a battery problem. Thanks for sharing.
