My new 32gb iPhone 5 gets too hot during phone calls. Is this normal?

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.

  • New 32GB iPhone 5s Has Only 27.5GB Capacity - Is this Correct?

    Hi all,
    I just got a new 32GB iPhone 5s. Before setting anything up, I noticed that in "Settings --> General --> About" my phone is shown as having a capactiy of only 27.5GB, with 26.8GB available.
    This is a new phone with nothing but stock apps on it.  Anyone know why the disparity is so large?  I'm aware that there is a decimal vs binary issue at play,  but it seems that after converting to binary, the phone should still have a capacity of 29.8GB, and I'm sitting at 2.3GB under that.  (My quick math: 32,000,000 / 1024 = 31250 / 1024 = 30.5175 / 1024 = .0298, or 29.8GB)
    Is this normal?  I am as bad at math as I've suspected? Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Are you fellas new to technology in general or what? You make it sound as if the iPhone is the first storage device in the whole wide world to have less than the stated GB. This has been the norm since time immemorial when it comes to anything storage related, from computer HD's to flash drives to mp3 players, etc.
    [For example, that 1TB hard drive has less than a whole terabyte of free usable space.]
    Where do you think the O.S (Operating System) and system files reside? Those take up some GB's, and some more space is "lost" to file formatting as well.

  • Iphone 4 turns off during phone call

    My iphone 4 bought in portugal to vodafone is randomly turning off at full charge during phone calls is driving me crazy!!! It has been to vodafone twice.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Are you asking a question here?

  • Iphone getting very hot during use

    Over the last few weeks my phone has started getting quite hot at the back if I use it for more than 20 minutes or if I try using it whilst charging.
    Should I be worried?
    Thanks

    That depends on how easily you get worried. It most likely means there's an issue with your battery but if it's really worrying you, take it by an Apple Store and have them take a look at it.

  • "Siri" reads new email subjects when on headset during phone call

    How do i turn this off? It happens when i'm on a call on my headset and its very troublesome.

    My sister and I are having the same problem you all are encountering. We have the new iPhone 4S 64GB and are with Rogers. We actually went to Apple store yesterday and got new phones, however we still have the problem. We don't know what to think, it would make sense that it is a hardware issue, however it seems to be a limited problem (in that there isn't a massive reporting on the issue, lots of message boards talking about it etc.). We wonder if it is carrier related, somehow... we just don't know.
    My sister restored her phone to factory settings and used it and still had the problem. We've tried restoring, resetting the network, nothing works (other than unplugging the hands-free set). It seems there was the same issue with the iPhone 4 when it came out. There are some older threads on this, but I don't know what the final resolution was to the problem. The postings on it seemed to stop, so maybe it cleared up? No idea.
    For samchr, the problem presents as the other person hearing an echo. So, if you are speaking with your wife and she hears the echo, then it is your phone, and vice versa. As my sister and I speak to each other on our new iPhones we've worked it out. Another way to check is to unplug the hands-free set and see if the problem goes away. Which ever one of you clears up the problem by unplugging the hands-free, that's the phone that is causing the issue.
    The problem is sporadic, it makes it harder to diagnose. I was out walking and had a fairly long phone conversation (12 minutes) with no issues. On the phone with my sister yesterday, it happened about 8-9 minutes into the phone call (I believe, I didn't check). Today I was speaking with my sister for just a short time, and the problem happened, but on her end this time.
    It's a real puzzle. If anyone finds out anything on this, PLEASE post the solution for us on this board!

  • IPhone 4 plays music during phone call

    When my iPhone 4 is connected to the car's radio, with a usb cable, and playing music, at the time I answer a phone call, the music stops but a few seconds later it starts playing whatever song, during the phone call. It never happened before, it started about a month ago. Maybe right after I uploaded to 7.0.2. What can I do to fix this?

  • IPhone 3GS - Video Capture during Phone Call

    I just found out that iPhone disables making Videos when I'm on a call.
    This really ***** - It lets me taking the photos, but no video option.
    It can't be the processing power needed - as this is 3Gs and has lots of power under the hood
    I know Video captures Audio as well in the movie - so what - it should still be able to make a video with the voice capture thru the Mic.
    This is totally stupid of Apple. Video is a very useful feature and one of the reasons I paid $560 to upgrade and a bad implementation.

  • HT1688 iphone plays recent podcast after phone call.  this is after recent update.

    iphone reverts to last played podcast after making a phone call.  I thought this was fixed by last update, but apparently not - is there a fix?

    Exactly the same problem - iPhone 3GS 16G, updated it on Wednesday and has rebooted at varying times during calls. Went straight to the Apple store to be told to try a restore. There was a carrier update when I connected to iTunes about an hour ago, so I wondered if that would make a difference. I'm with O2.
    Did some test calls to my dad, it was good fun trying to pad out a conversation knowing that we were both waiting for the phone to cut out!!
    First reboot was after 7mins, then at 18mins 31 sec.
    After this reboot I decided to make sure that the only app that was running was the phone app. Strangely, when the phone reboots itself, it doesn't close the apps that are multitasking, so when the phone has restarted they are still there.
    I closed them all down and managed a 20min phone call with my dad, then he had to go out so we hung up.
    After reading this forum I'm reluctant to restore my phone as it seems a lot of effort for no reward whatsoever!
    Not impressed, Apple were my technology fave until this! Its worse than Microsoft's blue screen of death!
    Sort it please Apple!

  • TS2771 Gets too hot during normal usage

    When I turn the iPod on for normal use, the upper back part of it gets hot. It has brought up a temperature warning a couple of times. Also, when I try to sync it to the computer, the computer freezes. When I unplug it, the computer immediately unfreezes. It will not sync. Nothing happens. iTunes doesn't even open up. Battery life lasts about fifteen minutes of constant use. (Way shorter than normal. Usually lasted about two hours of constant use.) Any suggestions? Or will I just have to send it to Apple to get it repaired?

    Contact Apple. Sounds like a hardware issue.

  • MacBook Air power adapter, getting extremely hot to the touch, is this normal?

    Just purchased my MacBook Air 13", I'm very impressed with it but, I have one question. Is this power adapter supposed to be like this hot, I could fry an egg on it..
    Just curious, maybe I need to return the supply for a new one? Is this condition normal?

    Hi TOWjr,
    The power adapter will definitely get very warm if you're charging the battery at the same time that the machine is under high CPU/GPU load. So yes, it can be quite normal.
    Try this... let the battery run low (sub 25%). Turn off the machine, connect it to AC power and let it fully recharge. During the recharge process (Amber LED) is it as warm, cooler or hotter than what you're experiencing now? After the recharge is done let it sit for about 30-45 minutes. Is it as warm, cooler or hotter?

  • Get audio stream during phone call?

    Im just wondering if anyone knows if i can stream the audio of a telephone call in realtime foe use in my app. I want to clarify that i only wish to get the sound data from the microphone of the app user and not the other user on the other end of the call (for privacy reasons of course). Thanks in advance

    Guys, my daughter in Norman at OU has had problems all day. Phone shows 3G connection and full strength on bars but slow texting, dropped calls and sometime even unable to call out. Rebooted phone twice with no luck.
    Strange its Oklahoma. Several have made appts to genius bar. Tried to make on in OKC at Penn Square around her classes but could not. Only a few available next week on Tues and Weds. They seem pretty booked up - I bet with the same problems.
    I suspect this is an AT&T issue, but if anyone gets back from the Genius Bar with answers or ideas, please post them here so we can all learn. Thanks!

  • Iphone 6 turns off during phone calls

    Hello,
      This happens intermittently when making a phone call. Screen goes dark, -cannot bring screen back on and have to shutdown the phone and restart.
    Any ideas as to where to start to resolve this?

    KBurd,
    If the proximity sensor is covered by a case, your hand, or by being close to your face, the screen should go dark and unresponsive, but the call should not be disconnected.
    Is there anything covering the proximity sensor? It is located between the earpiece and the top edge.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • 3GS gets burning hot during calls

    For some reason, and ONLY OCCASIONALLY, my iPhone 3GS gets burning hot during phone calls. I'm definitely in a 68 degree cool environment, no direct sun, my phone was cold to the touch when I picked it up. But by 10 minutes into the call it's nearly too hot to touch. There's something about CERTAIN CALLS that this happens on. Other calls will be just fine. Often I can hang up with the person, call them back and the phone is fine.
    I've even had the phone thermal-shutdown on me in the middle of a call, because of ITS OWN - SELF GENERATED heat.
    Naturally this rips battery life to shreds. I get about 15 minutes of talk and I'm done. Even ON CHARGER, it continues to lose battery and will shut down. So the phone module is drawing more power than USB charging can replace.
    How do I fix this? Or is the iPhone just junk?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar . The heat is coming from your battery.

  • HT3964 IMac, Mountain Lion- overheating and putting itself to sleep when it gets too hot.

    I've tried re-setting the SMC on my intel core i5-2.66 GHz Imac 27" to stop the fan from running all the time.  It started when I first upgraded to snow lepeard. I thought maybe Moutnain Lion would help this issue,  but now it's overheating and putting itself to sleep when it gets too hot.  Any suggestions?  This happens after about two hours of working.  Using Adobe Suite only and still overheats. 

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    First off, there is nothing wrong with the fans running all of the time, they are the Macs cooling system and they would not run under normal conditions if the Mac didn't need them to run. So unless they are racing and your Mac sounds like a jet ready for take off, the fans are just doing their job.
    That said, I think Apple's idea of how mcuh and how fast they should run does not always match the iMac's real needs. I, like many others, use SMC Fan Control and I set the speed at which my Mac's fans run.

  • Screen Blanking Out During Phone Calls - Solution

    Previously I noticed many posters complaining about a problem with their iPhone screen blacking out during phone calls. I think I may have found the solution, or at least a solution. I have been advised by the Apple Store technicians that the case I use (and indeed, many cases that are sold in the Apple Store), are so opaque that they block the sensor found near the earpiece. This is the sensor that tells the iPhone screen to black out when it is next to your ear, and to light up when it is away from your ear. Because it cannot sense through the case, it still thinks it is next to your ear and hence keeps the screen blacked out. And sure enough, when I took my iPhone out of the case, the problem disappeared.
    Now here is the question - has anyone got experience with a good case that does not cause the above problem? And those who do have a problem case - have you been able to return or exchange it with the manufacturer?

    You have this product - which is specifically designed for the iPhone 3G?
    http://www.iskin.com/revo2_features.html
    This is the case I've used with my iPhone 3G for the last 6 months or so with no problem.
    There is an iSkin Revo for the first generation iPhone, which is not designed for the iPhone 3G since the proximity sensor and light sensor with the iPhone 3G are in a different location than the location for these sensors with the first generation iPhone.
