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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Battery drainage n iPhone getting hot while using video

    Hi mukk25, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be concerning when the temperature of the iPhone is warmer than you would expect. Please review the attached article for information on operating temperatures. 
    Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures
    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.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

    gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

    Sounds like something is obstructing the proximity sensor on your phone. It is usually at the top of the display next to the ear speaker. You didn't say what you have. Usual suspects are a screen protector or dust. 

  • 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

  • Is there any way to PAUSE/RESUME the actual recording while recording a Video Demo slide in Captivate 8?

    If I have to take an "off-screen" action while recording a video demo slide in Captivate I am forced to END and start a separate video demo to continue.
    This fragments my demo and seems an unnecessary set of steps.
    Is there a way to pause the recording for long enough, say to clear my throat, and then resume?
    Thanks.

  • Is it normal for my charger adapter to get hot while charging.

    IIs it normal for my charger to get hot while charging.  Very hot

    Hot/ Very Hot are very relative.
    Its normal for it to get hot while charging, but if its really unconfortably hot to touch even briefly then there might be an issue.

  • N73-Get halted while opening Images & video

    Guys,
    My N73 sometimes get halted while opening images & video in gallery specially when I shot some new snaps n go to gallery to view these. when i restart it, all the images in gallery have been deleted (From Memory card n some times even from phone memory)

    This sounds like the memory card is protected and it is not actually saving the images to the card. If there is no card present, it sounds like a software issue.
    If the latter please use the software update website:

  • Ipod touch 4 gets hot while using some apps like angry birds?

    Is it normal for the upper back of the ipod touch 4 to get hot while using some apps like angry birds? Is this a potential battery problem? It doesnt get hot while charging or playing songs... Just when using some game apps.  I assume that it has something to do with battery drain, should I be concerned?

    When the iPod is used heavily like for games it is norma for the iPod to get warm.  Unless you hav short battery life I would not be concerned.

  • Is it possible to record an image while recording a video??

    Is it possible to record an image while recording a video??, i know it is possible when the camera is just showing.

    Ok i 'm developing an aplication for a hospital where the doctors use the system. For example a pacient goes to take an endoscopy chekup, where the doctor introduces a little camara into the pacient body to see the problem,so the system must be showing that, with this there is no problem JMF uses a Player to do that, the doctor can see what is going on and take a snapshot(image) at the same time. The problem is that when the doctor starts to record a video and at the same time wants to take some snapshot of that video recording.
    I use this line of code, but it returns null, and got this message: player doesn't support FrameGrabbingControl.
    FrameGrabbingControl cg
    cg = (FrameGrabbingControl) processor.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");

  • IPad plug gets hot while charging

    I have the 5 watt charger I have noticed it gets hot while charging is this normal I just upgraded to ios7 please let me know if this is normal?

    Definitely not typical, bot probably normal. iOs7 uses more power than former versions, thanks to the continual use of Bluetooth, Backtround App Refresh, and Airdrop. Disable these functions, and post with your results.
