    You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

    Does it comes up a Heat Warrning?

  • My phone is overheating and energy is draining fast

    does anyone know whyhave a brand new phone I only had it for a week and now its messing up my battery is overheating so hot and my data bars is only 2 sometimes I get to but usually I get only one now does anyone know why I thought it was if I need more data but it wasn't that

    Sounds like too many apps, or one is running too frequently, as well as, the lower signal you have, the harder the phone searches for a better signal.  All of these things contribute to battery drain which creates heat.

  • I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

    I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

    It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
    I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
    Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
    This will ensure you have no apps running...
    I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
    I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
    Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...

  • Extreme Heat melted glue I think, phone is flooded.

    Hello im currently in a holiday in Indonesia where its really hot right now. My phone is overheating constantly when i play games such as asphalt and i think it must have melted the glue on my brand new sony z1 which is only 4 days old!!! When i gave my phone a quick rinse to let it cool down, the touchscreen stopped working. I checked all the flaps and the indicator turned red . I read that intense heat can melt the glue and it seems like a common problem. Will i be able to get warrenty for this if i live in Hong Kong? Or will they think that its my fault that i didnt close my flaps even though i check every time it gets close to water? Im just really sad as ive been saving up for this phone for about half a year and it didnt even make it a week
    Thanks to everyone that can help me

    @mouseboyz
    Here is my case:
    04-Dec-2013 - Bought Sony Xperia Z1
    11-Dec-2013 - Wash with normal pressure water tap for less than a minute. All the flaps are closed tightly and after 30 minutes, the phone went dead and unable to start. All flaps indicator are remain as white and the phone has never drop or flawless exterior.
    11-Dec-2013 - Send in to Sony Authorized Service Center at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara,Malaysia. All flaps indicator checked are in white. Suspected leakage at the glass area.
    12-Dec-2013 - Call up Sony Service Center (Singapore), customer service representative insisted a repair to be carry out on the phone. I have request for new replacement subject to consumer fairness as a factory defective unit are being sold to a consumer. 
    If I could not get a new replacement or a full refund with a defective unit, I am taking legal action against Sony. 
    Today is 16-Dec-2013, I am still waiting for my phone to reach their technician hand.

  • Still Having Problem with Battery Overheating with Car Dock/Charger when using Maps/Navigation

    I'm having a problem with the battery overheating when using Google Navigation in the OEM Samsung car dock and car charger.  On a trip last weekend, I started off with a fully charged battery (because posts on other sites have complained that the Charge cannot keep up with the power draw of the Google nav app while using the car charger).  About an hour into my trip, I got a message that the battery was overheating and to unplug the charger which I did.  I then had to contend with the screen going out because it was running on the battery.  I let the phone discharge to about 70% then tried the car charger again.  Within a few minutes, I got the same overheating message.  It was not an overly hot day and the car A/C was set at 68 degrees.  
    This morning (with the battery at about 85%) I tried to use the Navigation without the car dock while charging and got the same results...the phone battery overheated and I had to unplug the charger. The battery temperature reached 116 degrees. (also, the battery level was also dropping while using the Maps or Nav application even though it was hooked up to the car charger).  
    I'm very disappointed with this situation since I was hoping I could replace my old Garmin GPS with the Charge.  But between the phone dimming the screen while running on battery, and having a depleted battery in the phone at the end of the trip, its just not a viable option.  I really like this phone, but I'm running against the "return" clock.  
    Any ideas?
    Could this be a software problem that will be corrected by an update in the future?
    fyi:  other Charge problems in the last 5 days:
    - dropping audio on calls to other Verizon phones.
    - use of camera flash causing the phone to reboot.
    (I do have the 'class 4' 32gb card in my Charge)
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    Jerry:
    Yes, the phone is charging while in the car dock.  I confirmed it both under the "about phone-status-battery status" menu and by my battery widget.  By watching the battery widget, I also noticed that the voltage steadily increased over the ride home.  It started at about 3.90 volts and ended at 4.02 volts.  I don't know if that is significant.  This time the battery did not overheat.  The Max temp was 110 degrees, but no notice to disconnect came up.  This might be because the sun was behind me on the drive home rather than beating down on the dash like it was this weeked.
    I've ordered a cheap universal dock from Amazon for about $15.00 which clips onto the a/c vent.  I want to see if this keeps the temperature down.  If this works, I can still return the fancy-schmantzy Samsung OEM car dock. (The car-dock interface wasn't that impressive anyway).
    Please let me know if the volt change means anything.
    And thanks again for your help!

  • Phone crashes after shutting off alarm

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    After my iPhone alarm goes off, after selecting Snooze or turning the alarm off, my phone crashes. It can crash in one of two ways - the screen turns to all grey and pink stripes, or it goes black and becomes completely unresponsive. Either way, I have to do the power-home-button combo to reset it.
    It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but enough that I can't really rely on the alarm anymore. Sometime it crashes in the middle of the night before the alarm even goes off, but most of the time it is after interacting with the alarm.
    This happened with the most current iOS update and the previous one. Not sure if it has been happening before that or not.

    Actually, it's not too late. I figured out the problem. After an hour spent in the VZW store all they offered to do was hard reset or upgrade me. The fix: simply manually update all the apps on my phone. The phone was overheating because it was trying to update everything at once. I turned off automatic updates and manually update all my apps. Phone is working perfectly now. And I'm receiving texts & phone calls again.

  • Iphone overheating and power dtain

    my phone is overheating and draining power really fast since 1.1.1 update.
    does anybody else have the same problems? What can be the issue?

    These problems have been discussed multiple times in these forums. Do a search, you'll get your answers really quick.

  • KitKat update is causing my phone to malfunction

    I know many others are having the same problems... my phone is overheating, the battery is draining at a scary rate and charging slowly, and I can barely send or receive texts... ever since I updated my phone today. I just want this to be fixed ASAP. This is not something I should have to deal with.

    I had a lot of problems after downloading the 4.4.2 OTA update.
    1. I was not able to send/receive text messages.
    2. Turning on WiFi connection drains battery much faster than before. The fast drain on the battery causes the phone to overheat.
    3. When I try to download an app or update an app in Google Play Store, it would download 100% and then would not install. Or it would pause for a long time before finally installing the app. When I try to uninstall an app, it would also lag/pause and not uninstall the app quickly as it had before the update.
    4. I use The Weather Channel widget for my weather info. After the 4.4.2 update, it keeps saying that my current location is Utah, and I live no where near Utah.
    I did a factory reset hoping to solve the issues, and it did partially. After the factory reset and before installing/updating all the apps, I was able to send/receive text messages. After I re-install/update my apps, I had the same problems again. I factory reset my phone again, and instead of letting Google restore my apps I downloaded each one manually. The Verizon apps don't seem to be causing any problems, so I guess they are the only ones that got tested before the 4.4.2 release by Verizon. I updated the Google apps next, and I was not able to send/receive text msgs after I updated Chrome. I was also having problems again with downloading, installing, and uninstalling an app. So I reset the phone again, and I downloaded/updated everything except Chrome. This seems to resolve my problems #1, #3, and #4. My mom has the same phone/carrier, and she had the same problems after installing the 4.4.2 update. I had her uninstall the Chrome update (it appears Chrome can't be removed entirely), and her problems also resolved. I can't guarantee this will fix your problems; it is just something that I found trying to fix these issues.
    I have not figured out why the battery drains so much quickly when the WiFi on, but turning off Wifi, Mobile data, and location service manually will preserve the battery life - but doing so makes the phone much less useful.
    BTW, I find the new pop up msgs reminding me each time I turn on/off the Wifi, Mobile Data, and Location to be extremely annoying. When Verizon/LG release a patch/fix to these issues, I hope they remove these msgs.

  • Ipne 5 is overheating and not charging

  • Apple is claiming I tampered my phone?

    I bought a new phone from AT&T and dropped it into the pool. I did some research and apparently an important factor to your phone surviving the drop is that you must turn it off. I was unable to do so. So I sent it into applecare to get a replacement phone.
    They now are not allowing me to get a replacement phone since according to them I "tampered" it. Which I totally 100% did not do. I did not open my phone, or did anything to it besides drop it in water. There 'proof' is that a chord was cut in half next to the battery.
    But that was not my fault AT ALL. I looked at the photos they sent me and it looked burnt to me.. Could my phone have overheated and caused it?
    How can I prove to them that I did NOT tamper my phone? What should I do? I talked to a senior advisor on the phone and I'm pretty much out of luck. I just bought the phone less than 10 days ago. Has anyone had a similar experience?

    It's actually a matter for the police. Anything relating to a stolen object is strictly the responsibility of the Police Department.
    On the bright side, the person who stole your iPhone might get charged.

  • I have a Macbook Air purchased in 2011 in the US.  I am traveling in South Africa and am unsure if I need a step down voltage converter before I plug my laptop into the wall to charge it (using an outlet adapter).  Am I ok to just plug in?

    So standard electrical output from wall outlets in the US is 110V - 120V, and standard output from wall outlets in South Africa is 220V - 240V.  In SA I know I can plug in an iPhone using the iPhone charging cable and it will automatically step down the voltage, thus preventing my phone from overheating.  I cannot plug in a hairdryer or flat iron without step down voltage converter in SA.  Can I use the charger that came with my US 2011 Macbook Air and plug into a wall outlet in South Africa or do I need to purchase a step down voltage converter in order to charge my laptop while in SA?

    You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

  • Battery heating and dying rapidly

    My bb curve 8520 is about a year old.  3 days ago i noticed the battery went from 100% to 0% in a span of some minutes.  i recharged the battery and noticed it kept doing the same thing.  I then replaced the battery thinking it had run its course but the problem persists.  I have no open programs running and no new applications installed that might be using up the battery. the phone gets warm and the battery dies rapidly. Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks.

    If the battery has been replaced and the phone is overheating while not on charge it shows there is a fault with the handset.
    You'll have to go to your network provider/insurance provider to arrange a replacement handset.
    Hope this helps
