IPhone Hot when charging

I have the first generation iPhone 8GB, and have been using it for less than a year. I recently noticed that the iPhone gets really hot when it's charging, especially with my car charger. I'm not sure if it's the result of the heat, the upper left corner of the screen appears a little brighter than the rest of the screen. It's barely noticeable, but I am wondering if there is something I can do other than to complain to Apple? Perhaps reset something?
I am currently running iPhone software 2.0, but it was getting hot with both 1.1.4 and 2.0.

Getting warm to hot while charging may be normal. Once charged there should be no more current flow and it should be normal temp.
I've always been a bit wary of car chargers, though, since the voltage they see can vary quite bit; good ones deal with that issue but some may not.
Does it get hot on your wall charger? If not you might want to find a new car charger.

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:

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:

Gets hot when charging !

I'm new to the shuffle, and having problems... is it normal the shuffle gets hot when charging?? and orange light never goes green..., it also freezes my computer... I had to remove and reinstall itunes... that will help??
thanks

I am having the same problems and lots more. I loaded new Itunes software; loaded new software for the shuffle and changed USB ports and nothing changes. Still getting very very hot. I am thinking that sending it back for replacement is the only way to fix this. I have three 1st Gen. shuffles and they are still working fine but this 2nd Gen isn't much of an improvement; other than the physical size.

My iPad mini adapter gets hot when charging?

Why does my iPad mini FireWire get hot when charging?

The iPad does not have FireWire, do you mean the USB cable? The charger and cable will get warm during charging but should not actually be hot. If they are too hot to handle, try a different charger/cable and see if they are just as hot.
If not, take the iPad, charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar to be examined by the technicians.

MBP (2010) is extremely hot when charging

I just bought a new MBP 15' and I found it becomes very hot when charging --- case is closed. And I can hear the fan is working intermittently. I open the case and let it charging, then the fan stops working and the case is cooling several somewhat. In my old MBP (15' 2009 )model, no this issue. I always close the case and let it charge overnight. In the morning I can feel the case is as cold as ice. Can anyone explain to me is this normal or how can I adjust ? Does Apple apply some new technology in battery? Thanks in advance.

+and finally adjust the fan control+
I hope you're not using smcfancontrol or some other utility that changes the normal operating parameters Apple set for the fans ? They have been know to cause problems and I strongly advise against using things like that ... (Problems such as; running the fans at a higher speed for much longer than they are designed for and so the motors burn out; the temperature sensors getting stuck/confused and not coming on as they are supposed to, causing extreme overheating etc.)
If it's asleep then nothing should be running at all ...

HT4060 My iPad wont charge when plugged into a computer, the battery isn't lasting long, and its getting hot when charging

My iPad wont charge when plugged into a computer, the battery isn't lasting long, and its getting hot when charging

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Why does iPhone beep when charging

My iPhone continues to beep when charging....can anyone tell me how to stop the beeping

When you say "beep" you mean the sound it makes right after you plug it in? If so, you might have a faulty cable or USB port, so your iPhone will beep everytime it gets disconnected and reconnected to the computer. If it's not that, try to describe the sound. Is it similar to what other sounds on iPhone system?

Bionic Droid gets hot when charging on pad

I've had my Bionic Droid for close to a year. And I use one of the wireless charging pads by Verizon. It recently began to get hot, the charging pad and the phone on the back. Not just warm, but hot. I stopped using the pad charger and went back to the plug-in charger, and it does not get hot. Does anyone know if it would be the pad or the phone or what, that is causing the problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

However, from the hotness I suspect a hardware problem.
