My iPhone 4s has been getting extremely hot lately and draining my battery, is this something to worry about?!

Does anyone have the problem of their phone always hot?! Sometimes I even get the sign that says my iPhone is too hot. Is this something to worry about?! I was never like this until the recent ios7 upgrades.

It could also be that your battery has gone bad.  If your phone is still under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store.  It will take a tech a few minutes to test the battery, and they will replace if for you if it is bad.  If not under warranty, search for a repair person in your area.

    My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.

    Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account.  Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox.  The email you should receive looks like the image below.  When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
    If it still isn't there, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right look for a link to resend the verification email.

    hi Allan,
    Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    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 15 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,
    Matt M.

  • I rec'd an alert that my "Apple ID and phone no. are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone."  I am not using iCloud and I don't have a new iPhone.  Is this something to worry about?

    Howdy Libbidydooda,
    There are a couple of possibilities that may apply to the email you have received regarding your Apple ID. The first is that the email may be a legitimate warning that your Apple ID has been compromised. For this reason I would suggest that you change the password to your Apple ID as soon as possible. Use the instructions on this page -
    Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
    In order to increase security for your Apple ID you may want to set up and use two-step verification. See this article for information about it -
    Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
    The second possibilty is that the email is an attempt at "phishing" in order to get you to reveal personal information. Typically this is done with an email that looks like it comes from an official source but has links to web pages that, while they may look like they are real, may actually be gathering your information for use by others. This article has more information about phishing -
    Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
    For this reason it is important that you do not follow any links in the email, as they may compromise your security.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My iPhone 6 has started getting really hot when I am on the phone.  Any thoughts?

    My iPhone 6 has started getting hot when I make calls.  It does not do this when I am using my apps.  Thoughts?

        Oh no! I know that the iPhone 6 is one of the hottest smartphones but I didn't mean literally! Let's cool things off with your phone. Have you adjust your setting to extend battery life? If not, here's a link to check out, http://apple.co/1xnEkjF. Also, do you close out the apps that are running in the background to ensure proper resource management? Here's a link on how to do so as well. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137. Once you have done so, please retest & keep us posted.
    Thank you…

  • My computer has been getting the pin wheel and moving very slow since the i downloaded yosemite

    Whenever i have a video playing from my internet browser it causes my computer to pin wheel and go into thinking mode with all of my apps that are open. It moves very slow and i have to force quit everything and reboot my computer to make it act normal. this all started after the software update. Any suggestions>

    Mine has been moving extremely slow, too.  I had a problem downloading and installing Yosemite and after many conversations with Apple Care, the solution was to remove the 3rd party RAM I had just installed prior to the upgrade.  That solved the download/install problem, but now it's slow as anything.  I opened my activity monitor and sure enough, the memory pressure is at full load so I have to install more memory.  The trick is to make sure it's truly compatible.
    Have you checked your activity monitor's memory report?

  • My iphone 4s has been plugged in all night and will not charge

    my iphone 4s will not charge, it has been plugged in all night. i know for a fact it is not a problem with the charger as i have tested it will my brothers phone.
    Also when i press the home and power buttons nothing happens? i need help asap my phone has my life on it

    When you say the when you "press the home and power buttons nothing happens" do you mean you're pressing and holding them both at the same time? If the apple doesn't appear after about 15 seconds, it's not going to. You can try inspecting the port for debris that might be preventing a charge. However, it sounds as if you may need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
    If the information on the phone is vital, I'm sure you must have taken the trouble to back it up. When the phone is replaced/repaired, you'll just need to restore the new one from your back up.
    Best of luck.

  • My computer has been freezing and then emitting a consistent beeping until I shut off the power. It has been getting really hot and the fan gets really loud. This has been going on for months. What's going on?

    I just had my macbook pro checked out and all of it's systems restarted to solve its beeping and freezing problem. However, it is still shutting itself down when I close the lid and becoming very hot.  When I open the lid again the screen is black and I have to continually hold down the power button in order to turn it back on. Does anyone know why this is happening?

  • My iPhone 4S has been prematurely shutting down (shutting down at 30% battery) how do I fix this problem and reset the battery?

    It has also gotten rid of the "personal hotspot" option. How do I get that back?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Lately it has been taking longer for Firefox to open and will lockup occasionally. Firefox has been my browser for years and I have never had this problem before. Its there anything I can do about this problem?

    Once this happens, it takes a while like it is catching up but eventually will clear the jam. It has locked up and or crashed and I manually have to reset my computer.

    This can happen if you've zoomed the page. That effects the screen dimensions as reported by JavaScript and seems to confuse Yahoo.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
