Phone got real hot hooked to vehicle charger/iPod adapter

I was headed into the store when I went to unplug my iPhone from the iPod adapter which is a Pioneer, the backside of the phone were the Apple logo is located was so hot I couldn't even leave my finger on it to long, then the screen went haywire, so I retstarted the phone and got it to work, thinking it was a freik thing I plugged it back into the adapter and again the same thing happens, now I have lost complete funtion of all features and I have to send it in for repair. I've been using the adapter for 3 monthesw and never had a problem until today, no iPhone for a while I guess. phone lights up but only lets you read a message saying phone needs repair.

Not only do you have to deal with heat from chargers with too much juice, if you have the phone constantly looking for wi-fi and bluetooth devices, it will also add heat as well. This is why I always keep mine off all the time, especially while charging. I just do what I need with those two, then turn them off.

How do I power up my iPad Mini......I left it charging for days and it got real hot

How do I power up my iPad Mini.....I left it on charge for days. It was real hot when I realized I had it on charge.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My phone got very hot, now I cant conect to internet, what do mI need to do ?

Can ypou please help me, my daughter left her Ipod touch in a tent and it got very hot, now we cant get acces to internet, I tryed rebooting the I pod, and still cant get internet acces

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If that's the case, here are some standard repair procedures. Hopefully there is no hardware failure.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My phone got really hot while charging, why?

Woke up this morning and grabbed my phone off my bedside table only to find that it was hot, and I mean hot. It was too hot to even use. It wasn't on a hot surface or in use- it was just charging on my table. I tried to click it on and a yellow triangle showed up that said "Temperature Alert". Again, it was not in use or on a hot surface but rather indoors in the AC idle. Anyone know why this happens, if this is dangeous, or what I should do?

It is very dangerous if the battery its self swells up.
It can explode.

Ipod said needed charging, got SUPER hot, now won't charge or turn on, no response from Itunes plug-in

It was working fine less than 10 hours ago, but went to work, came back, turned it on, worked for about two minutes then suddenly turned itself off, said red zone battery (swear it was more than 50% when I left and it wasn't used while I was at work) tried to charge it, had icon of charger insert and red zone battery (weird pattern, had never seen like 'checkered or bands' on the red battery icon before this) then it refused to charge. (I'm using the same iPhone 5s charger for the RED iPod 64gb which still works on the phone.)   Had it since Nov, 30, 2012. Is this as long as the battery lasts in this stuff? I only play pocket frogs, and hay day at most 4 hours on a weekend (in between letting it sit idle). Maybe in the entire time I have owned it, would listen to music on it for 5 hours a total of 7 times if that. Wasn't really used for much else, oh except for pictures or video, but can't have more than 1000 between both as I would move them off or delete regularly. Never let it go dead, would recharge when it said "low battery" every time, but noticed lately it was running down after 50% faster. Was that a 'sign'?
Does this mean I need to give up and buy a new one or do they replace the battery (heard any data I have will be erased on this device- does that me I can' transfer the games and stuff over to a new one? Last Computer back up was about a month ago when they did yet another "update".
any suggestions, comments, advice?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect hardware problem because of the hotness.

My refurbished iPad 3 charged for first time it and charger got very hot is that normal

just replaced my refurbished iPad 3 with another. Tried to charge it for first time. Noticed it got very hot and so did charger. I don't recall my other iPad doing this is this a defect in the ipad?

Define "hot".
If fully drained both the battery (that essentially fills up most of the body of the device) and the charger will get quite warm, though not unbearable. Time to charge will vary according to device: my iPad 4 takes about 6 hours if almost flat, but takes about 40 min if at 75%.
Be sure to use ONLY its original charger OR chargers that are rated for iPads. They draw twice the current as phones and will cause phone chargers to get much warmer than usual.

I have an Ipod touch 32 gb 2nd generation. I was listening to it and it got hot and will not charge or turn on or do anything. Can someone help?

I was listening to my 32GB ipod touch 2nd generation and it got real hot and quit working. i can not get it to do anything. I have let it rest for several months and I can not get it to do anything. Can anyone help?

Do you have Apple Care for it?
If not, you may want to walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there...
Good luck in any case.

Curve 8530 Got Really Hot

My 8530 was bought in March of this year. About a month ago the phone got really hot to the touch and died. I was given a new battery under warranty, but it just happened again. My phone was replaced with a re-furb. That second phone just did the same thing this weekend. What is wrong with the 8530 that is causing it to heat up like this?

Is this occuring while charging or what? Where is the phone at the time?
I know these batteries do NOT like heat above (roughly speaking) 115+ degrees fahrenheit.
They don't charge well in that kind of heat, the battery drains quicker in that high heat.

Phone is very hot

My phone gets very hot. Sometimes when charging; sometimes it just gets hot.

I Agree with previous post. Also I read that some cases for the iPhone make it too hot when recharging. They didn't say what kind, but I guess good to take it out of case to charge.

My iPhone 4 was run over at work worked fine for 5 days then got really hot and shut down. I can not get it to power back up. I have photos that were not backed up is there anyway that I can retrieve my photos from the phone?

MY iPhone 4 was run over at work by a forklift the screen was badly cracked but other than that worked fine for 6 days. Then it got really hot while charging and shut down and will not power back up. I have photos on this phone that we're not backed up to I cloud is there any way to retrieve my photos from this phone?

No. You probably should have backed it up while it was working during those 6 days...

Should have waited at least 4 more days.

Iphone 3gs got very hot and wont charge

I have had my iphone 3gs for about a year and a half. last night I left it on a 3rd party wall charger while I slept, which I bought a week ago and have been using since. I woke up 4 hours later to find my phone was so hot i couldn't hold it. No joke it was as hot as my wood burner gets when its been running all day. It also had no charge.
Now my screen shows it needs plugged into a charger, and when I plug it into a charger it shows it is plugged in with a dead battery (red empty battery and a lighting bolt). after about a minute the apple icon comes on the screen and sits there for about 5-10 minutes before it turns back off, and shows the red empty battery with the lightning bolt. If i leave it plugged in it just keeps repeating this cycle.
I have used a docking station to try and charge, as well as 3 different usb cables plugged into my computer. I have reset the phone repeatedly today for hours with the power button and home button held in for 10 seconds. I have even put the phone in DFU mode and restored to factory settings with itunes. While plugged into the computer, itunes didnt even recognize my phone until i put it in DFU mode, then itunes popped up and restored. when it rebooted after restore it just continued with the cycle of turning on and off, showing its plugged in with a dead battery.
I cant go to an apple store with a warranty because I have broken this phones screen multiple times and taken it apart to successfully fix it. Last time I replaced a screen was a few months ago so I know that me disassembling the phone is not relevant to todays problem.
Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions to get my phone to charge and turn on completely?

Yes, I had this problem. I even phoned apply up & they never knew what it was. Or a solution, but if it's the same problem as I had, then I have a simple, but annoying solution. What happens is the iPhone overheats (normally whencharging and being used, so it stops charging to stop itself from melting. To make thephone charge again try holding it under a fan to cool it. Like I said it worked for me :)

My iPhone was getting hot when used or charging. Went to Apple in Portland, OR.Phone making random sound. Why??? How do I make it stop????

My iPhone was getting hot when used or charging. Went to Apple in Portland, OR. I did a reset on the phone. My IPhone is now making a random sound. Why??? How do I make it stop???? I have turned off all notifications. I do not have life360 or Skype. I do have Facebook, WordsFree, ScrabbleFree, Pandora.

I did the reset. I updated the iPhone to 6.0. The alert sound stopped for a while then started again. I had to go to notifications a few times to turn off some of the alerts and now I have peace, plus I learned more about the notifications. Thanks for your help. I did not need to go to the Apple Store.
