My iphone is getting hot to the touch and the battery is rapidly losing power.  I reset the phone but it continues doing the same thing.

My phone is rapidly losing battery life - even when it is just sitting idle.  The back of the phone is hot to the touch.  I reset the phone but it is still doing the same thing.  Thanks.

This happens if I upload too many HD photos at once. You are overworking the processor. Just leave your phone off and put it on top of a plastic bag of ice to cool it down. To keep this from happening you have to remove apps from the multitasker by double tapping the home button when the phone is on the home screen or in an app, then hold down on an app, then just press the little red minus signs. This won't delte the app, it just quits them (for example: quitting Skype will not allow you to recieve calls, quitting Facebook will stop you from receiving messages until you reopen the app, quitting the Phone app will not stop you from getting calls or texts though). This will save a great deal of battery.

    Crich,
    The usual reasons for an Apple ID getting disabled are either unauthorized activity or violations of the Terms & Conditions. 
    Submit your request to iTunes Customer Service and if appropriate, they will re-enable it.

    Hello TommyElMorte,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend conncting the iPhone to the wall charger that it came with, and then reset it.

    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    All the very best,

  • IPhone 4s Getting Hot for no reason and wifi not working help?

    The otherday my phone was in my pocket and I could feel it getting hot, so I pulled it out of my pocket and noticed it was a lot hotter than it should be, after noticing this I noticed that my wifi was not connected so I checked SETTINGS<WIFI and there was no connections, the little icon just kept spinning and spinning, so then I toggeled it off and on, no luck, turn airplane mode on and off still no luck, I even toggled of my mobile data no luck.
    I preformed a reboot, (held both lock and home button together) and checked again, NOTHING.
    I then turnt it off for 10 mins ( held lock button slid red icon across) and the phone got colder and then the wifi started working again.
    then last night it did it again, I have taken the phone out of its case and changed the charger(just incase these were affected it), I then tried everything again, it helped but not for long, tonight it has done the same thing so I thought nothing of it, il just do what I had previously done,
    BUT NO! not even resetting network settings helped, neither did erasing all data, neither did placing the phone into restore mode, restoring via itunes and then setting the phone up as new, just incase the backups contained software glitches causing the wifi not to work.
    I have been screen shotting the phone in and out of charge showing no wifi connections are showing for proof for when I take it to the apple store thursday (everyother day was fully booked).
    Being that my phone still is covered by apple care, Ive got proof that it is defective/tempermental(incase it starts working again and then stops) and obviously they can have a look at it, take it apart or whatever i dont care I want it fixed! but will they replace it?(the whole phone) and also will it be for free as ive still got apple care warrenty and it is hardware problems?
    ALSO i never had any problems with 5.1.1 so I hope if i get a replacment it will be 5.1.1 as I wont update until 6.0.1 is stable enough

    *also, i have just reset all settings again and my wifi connections have appeared! this is taking the P*** now apple sort it out!

  • My hard drive is getting consumed as I sit and watch.  I don't have much on my computer, but it tells me the disk space is full.

    I am getting a message that my disk space is full and when I check on the hard drive capacity, I can watch it going down.  I don't have much stored on my hard drive, so I don't know what's using up all the space. 

    If you can see it disappearing before your eyes, it is likely to be some runaway process. Possibly a log filling up.
    Open the Console application and click to system.log and at the bottom, see if there is some process repeating endlessly.
    Post the last several lines of that log if you think it is relevant. Don't post the entire log though, just the end bit.

  • Won't install on Toshiba Thrive. Mozilla says it's compatible, but the Play store says it's not. It installed on my phone, but won't on the Thrive.

    I checked the supported devices list on the Mozilla site, and they list the Toshiba Thrive as compatible with the new android browser. However, when I attempt to download it, the Play Store says the Thrive is not compatible and refuses to show me the app to download and install. Can anyone explain what's going on here? Thanks.

    i boght an iphone 4s and it gets hot easily, is it normal? does iphone 4s get hot just for surfing the web?

    It all depends on the reception. If you cell reception is bad, iPhone will try harder and it will get warmer and uses more battery.
    For your info, iPhone 4S is a dual core A5 chip.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • IPhone 6 gets hot

    My iPhone 6 gets hot while in use - I can be playing a game or just on other apps.  It varies from time to time whether it gets hot.  I keep my brightness level up all the way during the day and lower it at nightime.  Last night, I adjusted the level down all the way and played a music playlist on YouTube. I woke up a couple of hours later and it was very hot to touch.  My brightness auto adjust is set to OFF. 
    Another issue I'm having is while using my iphone, is that the brightness level flickers and dims slightly on its own.  As stated, my auto adjust brightness is set to off.  I am running the current software.  Anyone else experiencing any these issues? 

    Try resetting your phone. Press and hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears then let go. You won't lose any data.
    There are a number of things you can check to improve battery performance in this article. https://www.apple.com/ca/batteries/maximizing-performance/#ios
    If none of the above help then the next step would be to Restore. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings This will erase everything on your phone so back up your data first.
