My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery

My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery.
No change if I reboot the phone. The only thing that works is to reinstall the phone in iTunes, but the problem soon comes back.

Hi,
If you Restored from Backup... Then there may be Corruption in the Backup... That being the case, the Next Step is to Restore as New...

    you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

  • My iPhone 3GS  is close to running out of memory space,  would Dropbox  work

    I am running out of storage and memory on my iPhone  3GS so if I use the Dropbox to store some of the data online so I can relieve some of the storage. Problems ? How do I get this to work and start it.   

    If you have Time Machine enabled, then those are Time Machine snapshots. They will be deleted automatically if the space is needed. You can also do this:
    About Time Machine local snapshots
    Time Machine Snapshots
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN again.
         To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
         To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.
    For more about snapshots see: OS X Mountain Lion- About local snapshots.

  • Iphone 3gs getting warmed up

    I just brought 16gb 3gs,i just experienced my handset getting warmed up when i browse for certain period..is it to worry or its co'mon with smart phones??i just brought it 3 days before..how to fix it??is it exactly warming or heating??

    Thanks a lot for your reply..So you say your handset getting warmed up is not all worrysome issue..
    Am experiencing this when am browsing and performing some multitasks link playing ipod and browsing
    It's not worry-some if it's just generally warm. While browsing, or playing music, or doing anything, you should notice a slight temperature increase.
    You have to remember that the iPhone 4 is like a computer, with similar parts, etc. When a computer processes, the CPU temperature usually increases due to increased stress. Similar thing for the iPhone.
    Once again though, if it gets to the point of discomfort, or even burning, this is NOT a normal experience for the phone.

  • After updating to iOS5 my iPhone 4 gets warm and looses power very quickly. I reduced most of notifications.

    I reduced most of the notations and made a hardware reset already. Still the power dropped down very quickly.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you for answering.
    I resolved the problem. It is the interaction between MobilMe-Mail-account an iCloud. You have to erase the mobilme Mail-account on all devices after having transferred all data to icloud and desable all syncs (ical, bookmarks,etc.) exclude Mail in other accounts.
    I did so and the iPhone battery-life acts as before having updated.
    Try it and good luck.

  • IPhone 4S shuts down without running out of battery

    I'm using my iPhone 4S for exactly 10 months now, restored it once (as a new device).
    Lately it's shutting itself off occasionnaly: Twice when it had 25% battery, and today it did it again when 45%... Showing me the red dead battery sign when I try to turn it on immediately. It goes back to normal after 10 to 15 minutes.
    It's pretty annoying. Is that a common issue? Is there anyone who noticed the same situtation?

    Hi!
    Thank you for your reply,
    I finally got my iPhone replaced with a new one at the Apple Store in Geneva. Unlike Apple's online support, geniuses do a great job helping and solving the issue.
    I'll have small a question for you: You're saying you encountered this battery 3times (must be exhausting), and they replaced it each time, what do you do about the 1 year varranty? When they replaced my iPhone they said it doesn't come with a fresh full 1year international varranty. Did you buy extra varranty time?
    Because mine expires next month, I really should buy a pack right?
    Thank you for your help,
    Hope you can 'settle' w your 4th phone :)

    Hello Y2murilo11,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone is getting warm and intermittently stops responding. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve issues like the one that you've described.

    Also, you can find a lot of great information about the devices operating temperature and what happens when it exceeds a certain temperature threshold here:

    They do not repair .Apple exchange and all returned units are refurbished at The Apple plants in China
    So you get a device that looks like and functions like new
    Are you familiar with the results of water and electricity mixing

    Hello douraid,
    Start with the article below to get your iPhone to take a charge. Once you get it powered back on, you will want to sync again to make sure nothing was lost during the attempted sync.

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger is not supported with device screen every minute or two. I powered it off for the night. I havent experienced problems since. Why does it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?

    Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out.  Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
    It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board.  Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
    Consider yourself lucky.  I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered.
