IPhone gets hot on long-ish calls
Talked to my sister yesterday - about an hour - using the iPhone. Call quality fine, but the back of the device got seriously warm, not burn warm, but definitely uncomfortable warm. A) has anyone else run into this? B)this makes me a little wary of buying a cover, as I don't want to overheat it.

The phone also gets hot while surfing the web and while charging too.
I bought one of the silicone back covers for the phone and made the mistake of leaving it on while using the phone for calls, surfing the web, viewing images, listening to songs and charging the phone the whole first day I got it. My iPhone worked fine at first, then all sorts of weirdness broke out.
Now calls almost never have sound coming from the earpiece, WiFi is unreliable, enabling bluetooth freezes the phone in its tracks, screen re-draws and menu navigation freeze when entering or exiting Settings.
We live and learn.
I took the silicone cover out to the workshop and drilled 87 holes in a grid pattern across the whole bottom of it. Hopefully this will help dissipate some of the heat. I'll use the cover if I'm going somewhere, but not if I'm using the phone or it is charging. A phone repair is in the works.
All the best

IPhone Gets Hot While Recording HD Video?
Anyone else experienced this? I started checking out the video recording features and after 1 or 2 minutes recording the phone started getting hot on one of the sides.
It wasn't anything alarmingly hot but i wanted to know if it's just my iphone or if it's normal for the iPhone 4 to get warm when recording HD video.My second replacement phone (which I believe was a refurb) experienced major overheating. I had the phone a few hours. I recorded 2 videos about 30 seconds each, I played Real Racing game about 10 minutes and took a call about 1 minute long. Put the phone in my holster and felt a burning in my side. Pulled the phone out and it was extremely hot. I touched a few people with it and they were shocked how hot it was. I called Apple and told them what happened. They told me this was a very serious issue. They asked me a few weird questions. The next day a brand new phone was delivered. Keep your eye on this. If it happens again and gets really hot then call Apple.

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. -
Since the 2.0 update my iphone gets pretty hot after 5 to minutes 10 of calling and also when i for example play a game from the app store it gets hot and a brighter spot appears on the screen
Is this a known problem? and can this be solved?but the thing is i want iphone 1 and not the 3G. I bought mine in Germany when it was officially unlocked so my guess is when i send it to Apple the will replace it with a 3G phone and that would suck!

Iphone 3GS resetting on long distance calls???
My iphone keeps resetting while i'm on long distance calls. It works perfectly while i'm on local calls but for some reason it resets itself if i'm talking to my family, who live about 4hrs away. It cuts out mid convo (i lose the call) and displays the apple in the middle of the screen for about 30secs then goes back to a locked screen as if nothing had happened. Has anyone else experienced this????

Iphone getting hot while using 3G
My iPhone4 is perfectly normal while using wi-fi internet connection, but it gets extremely hot while using the 3G internet services. Can anyone help me out?
It is normal for the phone to get hot when your using data such as YouTube videos, streaming music etc.. And as for the left speaker not working, the left speaker is a microphone, the right one is for sound. Don't worry, everything your iPhone is doing is normal.

Hi,
My iphone 4s gets really hot in 5 minutes when playing with games or using apps...
I want to know if this is normal for the phone and if it harms the battery???It's normal. The iphone 4s and ipad 3 both have fast CPUs that does tend to get hot. Just the battery alone will actually make the phone hot too, since battery usage makes the battery warm and thus the phone warm. (this is why people sometimes wrongly think that their ears get hot due to dangerous waves from the phone, when it's actually heat from the battery.)
So, nothing to worry about. -
Iphone getting hot,temperature hot..to the touch
Recently I had my iphone getting really hot... and it reminded me of the dell lap tops which had the batteries getting hot and at times burning right in front of your eyes ..I wonder if Apple is waiting for the first Iphone to explode becouse of the heat which I think is caused by a cheap battery very much like Dells batteries.... is Apple going to recall these Iphones...anybody?.
A french teenager has sustained an injury to his eye after his girlfriends iPhone shattered. The boy was sitting on his terrace with his girlfriend when her iPhone 3G began to make hissing and crackling noises. The boy then took the iPhone and said that he felt something enter his eye.
“It was about 30 cm from my face when I felt something like a grain of sand enter my eye. It could not have been anything else but a piece of glass or plastic.” Apparently the lithium-ion battery may have been the reason of the fault according to a American Commission set up to study the occurrence.
Many other incidents like this have occurred, one happened earlier in England but with no injuries. A 11 year old girl was carrying an iPhone when it started to heat up and crack. Her father grabbed it off just in time to throw it before it exploded. -
Iphone getting hot got replacement and this one is doing the same thing
After having it since November 2011 my iphone 3GS started getting hot to the touch last week and would not come on in any way. I went in and it was under warranty so they gave me a replacement and now this one is doing the same thing. UGH! Why?
Yahoo services have been having problems today, so I don't doubt that mail is one of them. They are having trouble updating the Weather app as well.
What is wrong with your voicemail. Remember that voicemail is a carrier function. The only thing Apple has to do with it is how it is retrieved. Can you describe your problem a little more clearly than "totally screwed up"? -

IOS 6.1.3 Update on iphone 5- can no longer make calls
Hello
Since upgrading this morning I can no longer make calls.
Sometimes the call drops as it starts to ring. Sometimes it tries to make the connection for 10 secs again but then give me the dreaded 3 beeps.
Was perfect until I upgraded - but not now.
Help!I have discovered that my iTunes media folders permissionslî(file attributes) were read only, and that is why the iTunes program was unable to see my music, except the cloud songs. When I changed the permissions and then "added the folder" iTunes was able to see all my itunes media. However after closing out iTunes and rue entering, the music and Apps were no longer visible. Looking again at the iTunes file permissions in windows, I found they were again designated "read only". I changed them again and add folder, but something is causing the file attributes of my iTunes folders to be "read only". Please provide any insight or suggestions for correcting.

Iphone getting hot while sleeping.
i put my iphone to sleep and left it for a few hours. when i went to use it it was extremely hot but it was asleep the whole time. wifi is off on the phone. has anybody experienced this at all.
I noted the iPhone got extremely hot while charging attached to my Mac this afternoon, yet when I switched to wall outlet charging it immediately got cooler. Yet the phone was not even in use during this period. I tried to isolate the problem by removing it from the Speck ToughSkin, thinking perhaps the rubber cover was the cause. But it got quite hot again later while using WiFi and then suddenly taking a call and receiving two text messages. Yet five minutes later, it was no longer hot. Very peculiar. Other user experiences like this out there?
