Is it normal for battery to drain 10% every hour and phone getting extremely hot

My iphone 4 (replacement I got during the summer) heats up every so often. If i'm browsing, the side where the sim card is located heats up, pretty much everything I do the phone heats up. But the biggest issue is that my phone drains 10% every hour.
I have 5.0.0. When I charge my phone, the phone heats up. I never charge with the wall charger. I always charge using USB and my macbook.
I had my phone charged up to 100%. I made a 10 minute phone call, and sent some text messages, and my phone is already at 91%.
When i tether to my laptop, the phone heats up.
Before I got my replacement, I NEVER had any battery issues, i NEVER had any heating issues.
I took it to genius. And the guy told me that it is NORMAL for battery to be drained quickly. And that it is NORMAL that my phone warms up.
I even got him to feel how warm my phone gets, and he said "oh that is just normal"
How is this normal? I don't have any more warranty, but i feel like apple gave me a crappy replacement.

No, it's not normal.  Turn of whatever is using Location services, based on your description that is my first guess is that something is using location services constantly and draining the battery.
If that's not the case then some other app is running in the background.
Restore as new... use the device in the "new" "pristine" state for a day or so, does the issue persist?  If it does, you definitely have a hardware issue that Apple needs to address.
If it does not persist, then start restoring apps, one or two at a time until you find the one that is the culprit.

  • My 5s batterie only last 30min to 40 min and phone getting quiet hot is that normal?

    My 5s batterie only last 30 min to 40 min when is fully charge and phone getting quiet hot?

    No, it is not a standard battery life, and is a common problem.
    1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Remove and reinstall Exchange and push IMAP email accounts
    3. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
    4. Restore as new

  • Its been like a week that i bought new iphone 5s but whenever i play games or talk in skype for an hour my iphone get extremly hot... idk why?

    its been like a week that i bought new iphone 5s but whenever i play games or talk in skype for an hour my iphone get extremly hot... idk why?

    Why? Because it is working the processors hard. Same as when you work or exercise, your body gets hot, so does the iPhone when it is working. Skype and many games will tax the processors more so than browsing the internet, sending texts or email. So, it gets hot. If it doesn't cool off fairly quickly after you quit Skype or playing your game, or it gets hot when doing less taxing activities, then you might want to have it checked out.

  • IPhone 4 battery drains really fast and phone gets really hot

    I have an iPhone 4 and since November 15 my battery has been draining really fast and gets really hot when I use the phone. When I try to charge the phone with my computer it doesn't charge, but only charges with the wall hub. I have tried deleting the email accounts, deleting all apps, restoring with the backup, restoring without the backup, and still no luck. I went to the Apple store and they briefly looked at it and said it had water damage by looking at the water damage indicator in the charging port. They told me I needed to pay $150 for a new phone. I don't recall getting my phone getting wet and it seems to work fine except for the battery drain and the computer charging problem. iTunes still recognizes the phone. I thought it was a battery problem so I ordered a new battery and replaced it myself and the battery was still draining fast. When I had the phone open the other water damage indicators were still white (no water damage), it was just the charging port indicator that was red (water damaged). Also, when I charge my phone with the wall hub it charges very slowly. I have ran out of ideas and I could really use some suggestions. Thank you.

    i looked on the right there is no solution to my problem.i charge my phone to 100% after 2 hours with no usage at all of the phone with 3G off with wifi off with all applications shut down all notifications and locations off battery goes down to 50% when it was running on the older ios never had this problem in my iphone.when will this problem solved

  • Battery drains little in app and phone gets warmer

    Iphone 6, 64Gb
    Ios 8.1.2
    I bought and iphone 6 last december and when using an app or whatsappfor atleast 5 to 10 min the phone gets warmer and battery charge drains to 5% to 7% ...
    When I opend the battery usage in settings it shows whatsapp in my phone usage is 47%..
    What shall I do for this type of battery drains when using this app... pls advice...

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charged. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ?

    Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charge. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ? Somebody told me I should have let it discharged and then to fully charge, but I didn't do it, my iphone is working very well, the battery too but I'm worried if the battery lifespan is gonna get worsen soon if I didn't abide by the rules and procedures of battery charging.
    I had problems on my previous iPhone 4s, it died because I didn't replaced the battery with a new one because my battery never worked well and I never knew it , the battery used to overheat my iPhone and it caused to damage my processor completely to death. Who does the replacement of the iphone processor?  I need help how to maintain with the iphone battery. And also let me know if I did something wrong that I should get worried about or not ?!?!

    Apple does not fix the iPhone 4S, they replace the phone. If not covered by warranty, called an out of warranty exchange. Cost is US $199. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
    Be aware, Apple does not sell iPhone parts, thus there is no legitimate source for genuine parts.

  • HT1688 My iPhone 4s battery got drained while playing games, and now it won't open even if im charging. what can i do?.

    My phone's battery got drained while playing games and now it wont open if i connect it to my charger,?.what can i do? my phone was given to me as a gift from the a relative in the US and im from the Philippines. How can i fix it? Do i need to bring it to any apple center to have it replaced? or is there a quick fix to this problem?...

    Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

    Is the MacBook/Air still covered under any AppleCare plan?
    If you are in the US or Canada, the Apple Store with Genius
    bar can have a look at it, and diagnose it for free; you'd have
    to set an appointment at a store nearest you, for them do do it.
    Not sure how old the unit is or how it was used, charged, or re-
    charged; but those are the kinds of little things that may affect
    battery life or subtract possible useable Cycles off its life.
    Some users of MB/Air models (and MB/Pro, etc) had noticed
    a loss of battery capacity after an upgrade to Mavericks. So
    that may be some kind of revision to how the battery is seen
    by the newer OS X. No idea if Mavericks uses more power.
    To see an expert or specialist about this issue, for advice, &
    or test/diagnose may be an idea. Could be it needs a new
    battery. How does the rest of the battery/power specs look?
    Perhaps the MacBook just wants to get out on the town...

  • My iPhone 5 is getting extremely hot and my battery is only lasting,at most, 4 hours! What should I do?

    My iPhone 5 is getting extremely hot, especially when it is charging! It was gets hot when my battery starts getting low. My batteries is also not lasting nearly as long as it used to! It last at max 4 hours if I'm lucky! I don't low what I should do!

    Hello landry morgan. Just shared. Turn your brightness to auto. If you just buy this phone. Let the battery totally drain couple of time and fully charge again. It will became great after that.my phone take 2 days to totally drain.awsome. If your location to far away from network transmitter it will became little bit hot at the battery.if you very near to wifi you will feel  your iphone5 it surf like a ferrari + no heat at all. P/n; dont look at pecentage of your battery. Just take note how many hour until its totally drain.

  • My Ipod Touch drained battery, I then didn't use it for a week, went to charge it and I get nothing, only a black screen.  HELP!!! It is not the cord, I tried it on other products and the usb cord works fine.  I need to charge so I can use.

    My battery drained on my Ipod Touch.  I did not end up using it for a week. Yesterday I charged it with my USB to the computer, came back the next morning and it was still dead.  I then tried charging it on my laptop....same thing.  Went through the tech support things about holding the two buttons down for system restore....nothing.  Please HELP.

    Give it time. Even plugged in the battery needs to have a certain amount of power to power the screen.
    Leave it on the charger for a couple of hours and hten see if it'll turn on.

  • Iphone 4s battery draining very fast and phone getting hot - downloaded ios 6 about 2 weeks back

    my iphone 4S gets discharged in few hours - started doing this 2 days back
    I downloaded ios6 about 2 weeks back
    Phone getting hot too
    battery drains even without using the phone- and phone becomes hot
    have tried turning it completely off and restarting it but still battery draining problem persists
    please guide

    I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
    http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html 
    is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
    Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
    Try it. Hope it works for you.
