Is it normal for the phone battery to heat up?
I own a Nokia 5800, and purchased it back in 2009. Basically, I have started to notice that the charge only lasts about a day or so, nothing more, which means i have to charge it fully every day. I would expect it to last longer, like it did before (sorry, i can't remeber how long it used to last before, never bothered really, to tell the truth).
Another concern of mine is that it heats up alot while watching videos or GPS, especally while watching youtube videos on the inbuilt web browser (using flash that is). When I say "it heats up", i mean i can literally use it as a heater if my hands are cold. If I take off the back cover after watching youtube videos, its blazing (ie. very hot)! I don't want the intenal circuit, sim card or battery cover to melt... or am i being a bit too cautious? I definately don't want it to catch fire, although i doubt it wil lol
So, is this normal for the Nokia 5800 or not? If not then what should I do?
Thnx!
It is normal for the phone to heat up when using processor intensive programmes like video or Navigation, depending on usage, a day isn't 'that' bad, but you can buy replacement batteries quite cheap, I have a 1900mAh one in my N97 !

Hi, I bought an original iPhone 6 from an authorised dealer in China, however on the back of the phone, the FC, CE, and other safety logo symbols are missing. Is this normal for the chinese iPhone 6?
Thank you for your help!caxx wrote:
Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
Correct.
You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden). -
Why does it take so long for the phone to turn back on after the battery dies?
Is apple going to do anything about the length of time it takes for the phone to turn back on after the battery drains?
Just a thought, but if the battery is not allowed to completely die then the amount of time it takes for the device to power back up is irrelevant.
Charge the device regularly and often. One of the worst things for a Lithium Ion battery like that in an iPhone is completely discharging it. -
When is the extended battery for the phone going to be available again?
Seriously, yesterday I found myself going from Verizon Store to Verizon Store looking for the extended battery for the trophy in my area because it has been sold out on this site for at least a month, if not more, as I've started to become dissatisfied lately with the battery life on my trophy (I've been using it more lately because there are a lot more apps available now then there were at launch). I had no luck, and as HTC doesn't seem to stock parts for the US Trophy on their web store, nor does amazon or anyone else (There aren't even any official ones on eBay right now) and I don't trust 3rd party batteries (I had a horrible experience with a 3rd party battery bought for an old blackberry on eBay this one time), is the Extended Battery EVER going to be in stock again? Thank you!
I'm talking about this one:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12640&accessoryId=47583&initialPhoneId=5635Nevermind, I can't believe I'm answering myself.
It seems to be available in the "Accessory Outlet Store" for a major discount ($25) here at Verizon Wireless. I guess the $30 off the original retail price is worth the trouble I've had for some time. But still, why doesn't anyone online or people in the stores know this?

Is it common for the phone to to discharge in 3 and half hours and hardly used?
Is it a common problem for the phone to run the battery completely dead in 3 and half hours. Screen went black and unresponsive. It charged for about 8 hours today. Any one else had this problem.
Hi. I bought a new iphone 5 four days ago and was horrified that it discharged in less than a day with one phone call and a bit of facebook browsing. I then read up all the info and tips on the web. I turned off everything that wasn't necessary - mainly in location services, turned e-mails to fetch and not push. Also turned off i cloud so it will only back up when I tell it to. Battery still drained very quickly. I then plugged into itunes and did a whole restore (always had to do this previously for any software update before icloud!). That was yesterday morning at about ten o'clock. Phone was then at 100 percent. Have used it yesterday quite a bit, didn't charge it overnight and it is now at 63% so I think that has solved the problem. One other thing I noticed was that the shop set the default e-mail to I cloud and I always had the default set to my main e-mail account. On completely restoring it has now put the default e-mail to mine. Don't know if there is any connection or not. All I can say is that the complete restore seems to have solved the problem. Hope it works!

My iPhone 4s plays muted music in the background when connected via Bluetooth to my 2009 Ford Focus. This puts a heavy drain on the phone battery. I would appreciate any ideas to prevent this happening.
It doesn't really matter whether I am talking to Apple or not (and I'm sure they monitor these comments), I want everyone to know how bad this new iphone 4s is, and all of it's problems.
Apple have already launched an upgrade to the software - it obviously did not help, as many around the world would concur.
As far as being patient and waiting for another "update in the works" is concerned, it is just not satisfactory. This is not a cheap phone, and those who are experiencing these problems, should not have to be paying a substantial amount of money, for a very smart phone, that obviously, has some serious problems. -
I have a Mophie Juice Pack Plus for my IPhone 4S. Is is better to run the Mophie down keeping the phone charge up or run the phone charge down first then recharge with the Mophie. Does the phone battery get weaker after so many charge cycles like the Mophie and other external chargers and boosters.
I am able to keep a 100% charge on the phone battery at all times, I have 2 Mophie's I swap them out when they run out keeping my Iphone fully charged at all times. Will this hurt the internal phone battery?
Bob DaigFrom a heat perspective... run the phone battery down first. The phone and Mophie heat up too much when it is charging the phone, leaving the Mophie in charging mode all the time could result in damage or a shortened life for the iPhone.
I generally left my iPhone get to about 30% charge before turning on the Mophie. -
Screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone
Don't know if this a major problem but its bloody annoying! I've installed os 3.0.1 on my iphone 3gs 16gb and there was no problems, however when I looked at the screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone, only by 1-2mm. I'm able to move the screen either up or down by touch but its annoying, I can either have my signal strength, clock and battery showing or the phone,mail, safari and ipod at the bottom, obviously I keep the top of the screen visible but it wasn't like that before I downloaded that stupid update!! I would rather go back to 3.0 but I can't find it anywhere? any ideas anyone
Have you zoomed in a little as per p. 187 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
If not, try resetting your iPhone 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. -
Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone or in iTunes. Prior to the last update, this was always an option. I have also noticed that the Ringtones and Alert Tones are not showing up in my recent purchases as well to allow for me to place them back on my phone and there for require for them to be purchased again... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've discovered that all tones purchased will be downloaded as ringtones, BUT they can be utilized as tones and assigned as alert tones on the iPhone...

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story............... iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!
Error 1611

I have a new Samsung phone and I live in CT. Last month they charged me $38 on my bill for the sales tax for the new phone which was $600. I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each. Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge. I can't believe that the monthly CT tax is higher than the payment for the phone itself. Does this make sense. Last time I spoke with them on the phone it was for 1 1/4 hours for something simple. I don't want to call unless I need to. The salesman told me nothing about any of this. Thank you for any help you can offer.
The bill from last month states:
CT state sales tax** $38.10
** In some states sales tax or surcharges are calculated on the full cost of the full retail price or VZW cost of the device you purchased and not on the discounted price you pay. The sales tax or surcharges charged on your device was based on $599.99 and appears on this first bill.
The current bill says the same.
Actually, now I'm realizing that last month's bill stated I was making the first payment toward the phone. Now this month also says it's the first payment toward the phone when it's really the second. -
My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!
If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,

I think i got ripped off by this verizon store , I got the 4 line $140.00 edge plan, which I had to pay for the phone in monthly payment, i did the math it was 268.00 total.. At check out this guy charge me $50.00 care package for each phone and sim card which was $10.00 , $25.00 set up with TCP and he said the rest was tax. I had to pay $474.36.. my brother went to costco and did the same verizon deal he didn't have to pay anything...
