My iphone 4s gets too hot with ios 6

Hi Everyone. Just joined the community. I noticed since I upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4s it has been getting too hot when in using it. i noticed it would get hot when using maps and playing games. it would not get this hot too quiclky on ios 5.1.1. I also read that some iphone 5 users have the same problem as well as 4s users with ios 6. Can anyone give me some feedback and info. on this ? Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

Mines never did that until recently. It depends on your usage and apps.
It's basically normal to get hot, especially charging. Now if you talking about oven hot then you have a
Problem. All my friends iphone 4s does it, so it's normal. Streaming videos while multi tasking can cause it also.

    Mine will get hot mostly if I'm in an area with poor reception.  The phone will juice up the power output to lock onto a signal and will cause it to get hot and battery will drain much faster.

  • Iphone 4s gets too hot

    iphone 4s gets too hot

    Are you playing games during that time, watching movies or surfing the Internet?
    Using Wi-Fi over an extended period of time will also get the phone warmer than usual.
    Does the phone show the temperature warning?

  • My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

    My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

    I had same issue, apple give me a new phone, they say it might be software problem, but the 2nd phone has fast drain too, I took it to apple , they restored my phone as new, and iCloud backed up my contact. I thought about the whole thing, I used to sync it to my window, but this time I synced it with my Mac. 87% at 3:30pm. I think that window has bugs. It is not my iPhone 5's problem. After all those stressful days.

    my iphone just doesnt charge it gets too hot nd says it needs to cool down it doesnt connect to wifi also doest keep a long charge doesnt download apps pretty much doesnt work

    So bring it to Apple for evaluation.  Can you not figure that out by yourself?

  • Having problems with phone getting too hot when not in use

    Hi there -- I'm trying to figure out what I can do to fix this.  Recently I had to get a replacement S3 because my original shut off mid-use and wouldn't turn back on.  The replacement has been here for about a month and in the last 2 weeks I'm having issues with it getting too hot.  The first time it happened, I had it plugged into the stock charger for about 1 1/2 hours - and I had picked it up expecting it to be fully charged but it was extremely hot and had a warning on the main screen saying that the battery was critically hot and was not charging and the phone was nearly completely dead.  I unplugged it, took the battery out and let the main phone body cool down.  After about 15 minutes, the body felt like room temperature again, so I put it all back together.  It turned on, charged normally that night and all was well. 
    Now for the last several days, I'm having issues again with it getting hot at random times when I'm not even using it (and not charging it).  The last time, I downloaded a temperature app and it said the phone was nearly 105 degrees, and it felt the hottest right at the home button.  Later that night after it cooled down, I noticed that the battery wasn't charging at all and was depleting rapidly on the charger.  I restarted twice with no change and then took the battery out and let it sit for several minutes.  After that it began charging again. 
    With it getting hot so much more often now, I'm starting to worry about this happening when I need my phone for an emergency as I spend a lot of time on the road transporting my kids to school and activities.  Is there a fix for this?  It doesn't appear to be the battery because my husband and I have the same phone and I've already swapped batteries with him - same issue for me, no issue for him.  Please help?  Thanks!

        Hello Micheliu813, let's get to the bottom of this together! Are you using the same charger that came with the phone or a 3rd party charger? We can also test the phone in safe mode to see if the device heats up again. Check here for steps: http://vz.to/1kb9LUM

  • My iPad gets too hot to handle! What's up with that?

    I have the new iPad 3, and it gets too hot to handle... Is apple gonna fix that or what?

    There probably is no fix for it. Contact Apple or if you bought the iPad at an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment, show them the iPad and they will replace it if the device is faulty.
    There is no way that it should get to hot to handle - mine barely gets warmer than my original iPad does. Take it back, get it replaced.

  • My iPhone is getting extremely HOT and losing battery charge by 50% in one hour.

    my phone is getting too hot and in an hour or so it will loose the battery life and will turn off ..
    i just had a word with the apple care they were like you can get the phone replaced from the country were you bought from, as such i bought this phone from Dubai and now they are like it cant be replaced in india..
    its really frustrating

    Where you are sounds far hotter than anyplace I would like to be...in any case, here is some info on acceptable temperatures and other temperature related info..
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
    from this article...
    Operate iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation) in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly.
    Store the device in a place where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.
    are you within this range? 

  • Iphone 4G gets extremely hot while in use

    Hi,I have been using iphone 3G for quite sometime now and recently bought myself an iphone 4G. We very Happy/excited about its appearance and added features, APPLE HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AGAIN!!.
    As i am using my new iphone,I am put off a with few problems i.e,I started to experience that my iphone gets extremely hot while using different applications and never experienced that with my 3G and with my friends 4G iphone using at present. My iphone 4G gets extremely hot while;
    1. taking a call
    2. using any an applications for example; using camera,accessing SAFRI, Skype and even text messaging. Any application that i use the phone starts heating up from the right side of my phone facing towards me and it keeps getting warmer and warmer and eventually the complete back of the phone.
    3. charging it gets very hot.
    Last but not the least, while taking a call next to my ear its sensors sometime manual functions and it mutes or opens an other application during the call... which is very annoying
    I believe that my iphone 4G will not operate for long with this over heating issue and it will seriously damage the circuits inside the phone eventually.
    I am trying to take an appointment with Apple in London and would like to have a replacement and at the same time would like to request Apple to investigate this phone, avoid these issues for future iphone production. Thank you
    83031vs6a4s iOS 4 Iphone 4G

    Book an appointment at your local Apple Genius Bar to get the iPhone 4 inspected. Otherwise bring it back to where you bought it to get it troubleshooted.
    Also as per the packaging it's the Apple iPhone 4, not 4G. The "4" identifies it as the fourth model in the iPhone series. The cellular chip used in the iPhone 4 supports HSPA/UMTS (3G) not 4G.

  • Does the iMac G5 get too hot?

    Greetings to all.
    I would like to start a thread about the iMac G5 and heat. I found a few old threads, but I would like to bring that topic up again.
    I have a 1st Generation iMac G5 (purchased end November 2004). For the second time since November 2004, it was defective and the Logicboard was replaced (so my Apple Dealer told me).
    First time, in November 2005, the screen went pink. Second time, earlier this month, my Mac didn't boot anymore.
    The full amount for the repair (including shipping to Apple (Belgium), work hours, etc.) was over 500.00 euro (about 700 USD for you, Americans).
    I believe that the iMac G5 (at least: my 1st Gen one) is simply getting too warm.
    The day before, I installed "Hardware Monitor". It gave the following (average) temperatures:
    CPU: 60.6 - 63.8° Celsius (141-164° F)
    HD: 57.5° C (135.5° F)
    It is my opinion that the (my) iMac is getting too hot to be "healthy". I have 2 PC's, in which I installed extra fans (at the back and at the side). One of these, with an Athlon64 3000+ (1.8 GHz) and a 120 Gb Seagate Barracuda gives (average) temperatures for the:
    CPU: 36.5° C (97.5° F)
    HD: 26° C (78.5° F)
    My second PC, an old (modded) HP Vectra, with an Intel P4 at 1.6 GHz and a 80 Gb Seagate Barracuda, gives as average temperature (HD only):
    HD: 37° C (98° F)
    It may not be correct to compare my iMac with PC's - but harddisks are harddisks, wheather it is a Western Digital (250 HD in my Mac) or a Seagate (PC HD's), and it is only logical that a(n average) HD temperature of 57 degrees Celsius (128° F) in the long term can not be healthy, while the harddisks of my PC's are a lot, lot cooler.
    The PPC, too, gets much hotter than my Athlon CPU (and the P4 most likely too).
    Therefor: is my suspicion correct that the/my iMac G5 in general is getting too hot for its own good? Even though it may be summer here (Belgium), I still find such a difference in heat values between my iMac and my PC's not "right".
    Both the times that my iMac was defective, the Logicboard was replaced.
    Is it possible that in both cases heat is the problem (directly or indirectly) of the defects of my iMac?
    Basically we have a desktop computer constructed like a laptop, with all the hardware stuffed together in a very tight space. Why did they not keep the heat issue more in mind, when the iMac G5 was designed?
    I believe that the heat is a very negative factor in the/my iMac G5. If I will have to pay such a small fortune, every time my Mac breaks down, being a Mac owner will become quite expensive.
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive, Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb Western Digital HD

    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive,   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb WesternDigital HD

    Your Mac should have been repaired under the Apple power supply or video and power issues as long as your serial numbers were covered.
    As far as normal operating temps are concerned, my Rev A is at this moment, running at CPU T-Diode 144∘and my Hard Drive is at 128∘so your temperatures seem well within normal ranges.
    Yes, the machines tend to run a bit hot, but as long as the ambient temperature is not too high, they are fine. The failures were originally cause by a bad batch of capacitors but since those have mostly been replaced, the machines are much more reliable.
    Some people train a small fan on the back of the computer to keep it cool, that may help you.

  • IMac 10.6.8 will not recognize iPhone v.4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1

    I cannot get photos from my iPhone version 4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1 to appear on the desktop of my iMac running 10.6.8.
    It will not open iPhoto nor will preview recognize the iPhone as being connected. No way to get newly taken photos to iPhoto.

    Have you just tried opening iPhoto manually to see if your iPhone will show up that way?
    Have you tried shutting down your Mac and doing a PRAM reset?
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone.

    It would not be uncommon for the 4S to get a LITTLE WARM while getting used with the screen on etc, but not to the point where it gets so hot that you cannot keep your finger on it.
    If you can easily replicate the problem and you got it from an Apple Store then I would make an appointment to have it looked at/replaced.
    If you got the 4S from elsewhere then I would get in contact with them and arrange for it to be looked at/replaced.

  • Pin connector of ze2308wm notebook ac adapter gets too hot

    My pin connector of my ac adapter gets too hot whenever I'm working on my ze2308 wm notebook.  It doesn't whenever I set it on "Standby."  Is this normal like that of ac adapter?

    Hello dbuser!
    Welcome to the Forums Community! How long have you experienced the A/C Adapter getting hot? Were you using a different battery before the 6 cell?
    According the the e530 Personal Systems Reference the 65W Adapter is the correct adapter for the 6 cell battery. It is possible that you have a defective adapter. Does the adapter make any noise, buzzing or cracking sound? If it is making any noise there is a definete issue with the adapter you are using.

  • My phone gets too hot Everytime I use it, why? I don't know what to do!

    Everytime I use my iPhone 5s it gets too hot. I've done everything. Even while charging it gets too hot. It's been like this for 2 days straight and I am compeltely baffled. I barely have any apps on my phone so I dont understand as to what the problem is…any help?

    So what does 'everything' mean? You've done each of the following 4 troubleshooting steps; restart, reset, restored from backup, restored as new? If so then you likely have a hardware problem and it needs to be examined at an Apple store.
