IPhone REALLY HOT today, and battery dying!

I have had no problems with my iPhone 3G since getting it on July 18, however today I noticed that the battery died very quickly since yesterday's charge. After recharging the battery this morning, I was wearing it here at school and noticed that it was really, really hot and the battery was down to 1/2 power after only 3 hours of just standby use. Any suggestions? Could it be an application that I added last night? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Mike

My iPhone3G is doing the same thing periodically. Every other day or so it just eats the battery very quickly while the screen is off, no apps running (i.e. at the home screen before turning the screen off). The phone gets hot to the touch. I've been trying to narrow it down to a specific app that may be corrupting something but no luck so far.
I've restored the phone a number of times with no effect.
Guest Mike, if your still listening, did the reset mentioned fix the problem for you?

I really don't think that they have any interest in your data. They most likely plan on wiping the phone in order to sell it.
If they do restore from a backup, they would have to restore in Recovery Mode because it has a passcode on it. But that can't happen anyway because if they synced to a different iTunes library it would not have any of your backups.

Why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

I also forgot to mention that when it did have power, it wouldn't let me shut it off to try and conserve the battery life. Right when it powered down it would power right back up.

My iphone 4s crashed today and will not go back on. I see the apple logo, but nothing else will happen.

Iphone 4 from sprint and battery drain issues

how many people out there bought a new iphone 4 from sprint and having the rapid battery drain issues? there is a big thread on the 4s but not as much on the 4 and im trying to decide if its best to just exchange it or try more fixes.

I have the same issue. I am with sprint. The battery goes down in 6 hours, mostly in standby and some emails. I can actualy see the battery meter going down every 30 sec when reading my mails. iCloud is disabled as also push notification. The phone gets also hot. This issue is completely stupid and remember, I had iPhones for the last 3 years. My last one was the 4. It is first time I have such a problem. My friends that have the 4S with AT&T do not have that problem. As a mater of fact, I compared today and mine goes down 50% faster. I will have to return it and switch to another provider.

My iphone 4 shutdown today and will not turn back on

My iphone 4 shutdown on its own today and will not turn back on.

Make sure the Battery is Charged...
See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Also, Try this... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

IPhone 6 Wi-Fi and Battery Problems

Background info:
-- My first iPhone 6 kept randomly shutting down and turning itself back on while I was in various apps and on the home screen and also while the phone was on stand-by. I called Apple Support and they sent me a replacement without asking too many questions.
-- I don't know if my replacement is new or refurbished, although I'm assuming it's new since I received the replacement about 2.5 weeks after the release date of the iPhone 6, but who knows.
Problem:
The replacement iPhone's wifi and battery.
Wi-Fi:
-- My replacement/current iPhone 6 is running iOS 8.0.2.
-- Trying to load anything while on wifi is so, so, so SLOW. I don't even use it on my phone anymore and I stick to cellular data because that is how bad it is.
-- I did NOT have this issue with my original iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2).
-- My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) has absolutely no problems with the wifi.
-- Resetting my network settings fixed the issue for literally 15 minutes before the problem started again.
-- Restoring the phone from backup does not work. Setting up the phone as new does not work.
Battery:
-- My original iPhone 6's battery life was amazing. I could go through the whole day with heavy use with my cellular data and location on and still have a good 40% left on it. It took A LOT to kill even 10% of it.
-- My replacement iPhone's battery is absolutely pathetic. Light use (texting, browsing) with cellular data on and location off for an hour kills 20% of it.
-- Pretty much any "battery-saving" thing I can do is done (like turning off wifi, cellular data, and location unless it's absolutely needed).
I don't want to contact Apple for another possible replacement because I just feel weird about it. Obviously I will if I have to.
Do you guys have any suggestions or fixes? Please help!

I downloaded the Speedtest app on my iPhone and iPad and would randomly test one right after the other. I accumulated about 5 tests a day on each device over the course of 3 days. I set up an appointment at the Genius bar. I told the Genius that I set up my phone as new and then showed him my comparisons of the Speedtest on both devices. He handed me a new (non-refurbished because it hasn't been out for long) phone, no questions. Apparently it was a hardware issue and not an iOS 8 bug.

IPhone 5 shuts off and battery % wont change

my iPhone will randomly turn off while it is being charged. it wont turn off it its normal fashion though, the screen will somewhat shutter, like a tv would once you turb it off, and then the screen goes black. after about 5 seconds, the apple logo will reappear and the phone will turn back on. also, my battery percent does not change either. what ever battery level my phone was at the last time that i TURNED IT ON is what it will say it is at until i turn it back off and on again. for example. my phone says 14% right now because when i pluged it into charge it did its typical turn off and then back on routine so the battery percent level changed. BUT if my phone were to not turn off untuil morning, my batter would be at 100% but it would only be displaying that it is at 14%. PLEASE ADVISE
Thank You!

Hi Bwardo,
If you are having issues with your iPhone turning off unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Missy,
to check you battery information open the application "System Information" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities"
Now select "Hardware > Power" on the left and look at the following information:

IPhone 4 GSM overheating and battery draining fast.

I recently updated to 6.1.3 and eevr since my phone have been ovrheating and the battery has been draining REALLY fast. I have tried basic trouble shooting that includes mail, wifi, 3g, and even a factory restore to "new phone". The problem persists. Has anyone ls experienced this have found a fix? I also purchasd a new battery and am waiting for that to arrive. i will install this but I believe it is firmware related and not hardware. This is also in part because apple ran diagnostics and had said the battery appears to be oprating properly.
Help for this would be greatly apprciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you read this

I dropped my iPhone 5s on CARPET and it died?

Guys, this is a sticky situation that myself nor my brother can come to. Today at approximately 1:20 p.m I dropped my iPhone 5s as it was sitting on my lap. With my headphones blasting, my iPhone diligently fell out of my lap and instantly, my music stopped. At first I thought it got unplugged, soon to find out that instead the iPhone itself just gave up and died. Now let's be clear about this, I have a pretty protective case made by Spigen. Very protective on all corners and such. It also has a tempered glass screen protector over it.
It dropped on carpet. I know right? I'm just as freakin shocked at this. I don't know how it landed on the carpet but after landing, the iPhone has failed to operate. Now I've tried to fix this by holding down the home button and power button with no crappin luck. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. It's a 5s and I'm not sure if it's still under warranty or not since we got it from Att with no insurance. I'm in Wyoming so a 4 hour drive to Denver is the closest Genius Bar which is unfortunate. Has anyone ever encountered this and if so how'd you fix it?
Oh and also when I plugged it into my computer, the phone is not being read or found. I am worried about paying for a replacement for such a stupid drop on CARPET for gods sake.
Please help folks :(.

Good job with trying the two-button reset, that would have been my first advice for you. Next, I suggest you take the reset/update a step further. This step may risk losing the data on your phone, but since it's not working already, there may be no other solution.
On your computer, make sure you have internet acces and the latest version of iTunes installed.
Launch iTunes and connect the iPhone
Press and hold both sleep/wake and home buttons
After ten seconds, only release the sleep/wake button.
If you were successful, the iPhone screen should stay dark and the computer should display a popup.
If you see a message saying "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode," then continue by clicking yes to each subsequent popup.
If the iPhone displays the silver Apple logo start over with step three of these instructions.

MBP Battery Troubleshooting: To check for a bad battery, go to Apple/About This Mac/More Info In the System Profiler window, select the Power entry & look for Health Information. If next to Condition it says "Check Battery" then your battery is probably on the fritz.

IPhone 5S Getting Heated and Battery Drain issue

From Past 2 Days , my iPhone is been getting heated and the battery drain is 1% per minute.
Earlier When i used to put it on standby it used to be only a drop by 1-2 % through out night. Now it has gone down to -35% to 40% drain.
I have tried
-Resetting all settings
- Restoring to fresh new iPhone
-let my battery down to 0 and then charge it to 100% again
But Nothing Helped, i am out of the country for work and i visit an apple store here.
Any Suggestions, How do i Fix it?

I have a VERY similar issue to extremecoder...
Iphone 5s 16gb (purchased from Apple Online U.K. on 8th December 2013) was fine until the last two days onwards. I am now getting incredibly quick battery drain. The image is a screenshot taken this morning. Phone was charged to 100% last night and used for an hour or so, with battery level on 50%. I then switched off overnight as I always do.
Turned it back on again this morning and was at 48%!
Now look at it. Do I have a case here for a replacement phone?
P.S. Location services, bluetooth etc all off as they always are. Nothing has changed at all in my usage habits with the phone.

IPhone REALLY HOT today, and battery dying!
