OverHeating of iPhone

Has anyone experienced overheating of their iPhone? I have had 2 incidences in the last 2 days where I have gone to take it out of the case and it is on at the home screen and extremely warm. Battery life was effected yesterday. One incidence today where I was listening to a play list. Upon taking it out of my pocket i again felt the warmth felt yesterday. It usually cools down quickly over a about 5 minutes.
iPhone Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Once I got over worrying about how hot my MacBookPro got, it didn't even occur to me to be concerned about my iPhone. Seems fine to me.

Iso 8.1 is overheating my iphone 6 and dries the battery !

I'm using an Iphone 6...since I upgraded to Iso 8.1 my device is overheating and the battery dies in half of the day!
Apple we are waiting for a fix...or just downgrade back 8.02

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

Has anyone had major overheating with iphone 4 running the new google maps app on IOS 6?

Used the app today and the iphone 4 really burned up fast (less than 2 minutes)... Was wondering if it was an app issue or the fact that i may had have a connection problem with my 3G and it warmed up because of that..

i found a solution for this issue when google maps shows you an empty map error message cannot reach server. Click on the icon next to search and you are supposed to be presented with your profile, if not u will have an empty space. click on that space, then the "gear " Icon and logout.
restart your iphone then strat google maps again and log back in.
apparently this is happening when you change your google acount password or enble or disable 2 step verification.

IPhone 4 battery draining quickly // Overheating

Hi!
So I got my iPhone 4 late August, and everything's been going fine up until last week.
I have the ios that is right before ios7 (I think 6.1.5), I didn't install as I've heard bad reviews.
I woke up at 9am today. By 11:30am, it was down to 20%. It gets very hot within 20 minutes of it being turned on.
I have my wifi off, 3G is always on, brightness is at about 25-30%, I never use mail / calenders.
It's really only started since I've been leaving Clash of Clans open so I don't get attack, but it happens to all apps now aswell.
I've tried turning off / on, restoring, anything that's been suggested but my battery still drains too quickly!
Here's how my day goes:
I go to school at 8am. I use it on the train, and class starts at 9am. I use it for taking notes as my laptop is broken. By lunchtime (12:30pm), it's already all used up and I have to charge it, which I don't like doing as it can get stolen. By the time I get home, I have to recharge it, and when I go to bed I leave it charging for the night.
Would somebody be able to assist me? Thanks!

Huge issue with battery and overheating in iOS 6.1.1 iPhone 4S and ipad new iOS 6.1 what I can do , I am very sorry for update from 5.1.1 it was the best
My wife have iPhone 4 and ipad new is not updated it working good and my devices after update working bad :-(, likely the devices of my wife stay with 5.1.1

good thing i havent updated mine yet..

Can the usb sync/power cable that came with the iPhone 3g and 4 handle the 2.1 amps drawn by the ipad 2 (if used with the 10w plug) without risk of overheating?

I recently made the mistake of buying a cheap sync cable from a well known auction site becuase I wanted a longer cable than comes in the box for my ipad 2.
Whilst my iPad will sync OK, it takes an age to charge (using the standard 10w plug in the wall). I don't fully understand the science in the cables, but assume it is not a big enough cable to handle the current/2.1 amps?.
If like house wire you send too much current through a cable that is to small for the job it risks overheating and causing a fire.
Does this same principle apply to the iPad power lead?
Anyway back to the question, can I use other leads I have hanging around the house from my previous iphones and ipods to charge my ipad (again still using the 10w plug in the wall) or will the cable in these be too small to handle the 2.1 amps required by the ipad?
I don't want to risk overheating the cables and causing a short to break my beloved iPad 2...!

Thanks for your replies.
Not sure they entirely answer my question though.
I have used my different cables and can see that they are actually working (charging and syncing etc), but am i using old cable that was not intended to draw 2.1 amps and so may overheat and cause damage in the long run?
Or did apple deliberately over engineer the original cables which were only needed to supply 1 amp and they can actually be used to draw 2.1 amps comfortably?
Whilst the 30 pin connectors and usb points are identical, is the internal cable thickness/awg gauge the same?
Thanks

IPhone 4S overheating on iOS 6.0.1.

I've had my iPhone for approx 2-3 days now and whe I got it, I installed iOS 6.0.1. immediately, everything was fine, my battery life is quite good when not using 3G but WiFi instead. However, after a day of having the iPhone 4S, in the evening I went onto my camera and took a picture, my screen went black and RGB lines went through it and flickered back onto normal screen again. I've noticed it's becoming increasingly hot when I'm only running 2 apps (cos i force shut down apps by double clicking home) last night it actually burnt my hand, like a scold. i couldn't touch it because it just overheated so much it was too hot to touch. I don't know whether to go back to TMobile where I got the phone from or go into an Apple shop. My mother even says that I need to send it off. But I've been reading forum topics about it and apparently it's been happening to alot of people with 4/4S on iOS 6.

Yes i am having this same problem. My iphone is now running extremely hot when i'm using it for basically anything. I am going to try to restore it from the latest backup and hope that I have success. I can't handle having to charge my phone every 8 hours. it's ridiculous. I used to charge it maybe every day and a half?

IPhone 4S overheating when not in use.

Hi
I have an iPhone 4S, which seems to be having some sort of freak out. In the last 3 or 4 months it has started overheating (to the point where you can barely bear to handle it) while not in use. I have, at least 5 or 6 times, taken it out of my pocket/bag and found a dotted screen and the phone practically on fire. I always turn off apps when I'm done using the phone as the battery isn't the best and I am often unable to connect it to a charger for very long periods of time. Quite often it cuts out without overheating and regularly shows that it has signal, when in fact, calls don't get through and I end up with a stack of voicemail messages.
My secondary role involves emergency response, and I am reached by phone, so this simply cannot happen.
What should I be doing to resolve this? Or is it time to visit the techs in an apple store? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

My iPhone 4 has been overheated all this week

My iPhone has been overheated all this week, and making rare sounds..what should I do?.

I would take it into an Apple Store and see what they have to say about it. It could be that your unit is somehow defective (likely a bad battery). If it's covered under warranty, they will replace the iPhone so be sure and do a complete backup before taking it in.

Hi Dan,
I tried to reset settings but it didn't seem to help much. Then I read a few posts about deleting my email accounts and recreating them, and that actually seemed to help a bit. Now the only time I notice it gets heated up is when I am either on whatsapp or Instagram...that's it!

New iPhone 5s Overheating and Losing Battery Life

I just received the new iPhone 5s, and it's been on for all of 30 minutes, during which I restored the phone via iCloud backup and reinstalled my apps, etc. In these 30 minutes, the phone overheated and dropped down to 40% battery. Any reason as to why this happened? I've already closed all the apps that were open, locked it, and put it in to charge.

Had the same issue.
- I was running on low battery. So I killed all the apps and put 5S to sleep with 19% battery.
- After a while an alert popup of a low battery sign of 10% came. I forgot to hit OK.
- After a few minutes when I picked up the 5S it was terribly hot with battery showing 1%.
What paopaowell describes is not causing the massive battery drain. The one time location checking (GPRS) starts the GPS for a second or two and then turns it off. That won't cause the massive battery drain.
