Has anyone noticed the iPhone 5 over heating a little more than previous versions? I don't have a case on mine yet and it's bacially fully charged.
Sometimes a poor cell signal will do this (cell tower work).
See what happens tomorrow and if it continues, then restore it.
I just but my factory unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple a couple weeks ago. For the first two weeks, it was a dream! Today, it was weird... the battery seemed to drain way faster than before, and it was always quite warm. I plugged it in before dinner, and I left the house with 45%. Within 2 hours, the battery was dead (i hardly used it), and it felt like my phone was VERY warm, almost hot, to the touch... Will recharge it fully, and if still problematic, will restore - then off to AAPL store.
Well, this is obnoxious. As I mentioned, I was in Puerto Rico this morning. I flew to Newark, and I had my phone plugged into my computer during the flight. When I landed about 30 minutes ago, it was at 100% battery. It's now at 75% battery, and it's quite warm. Yes... I've restarted it. Yes... I've done a fresh restore. Sigh... I have a genius bar appointment today at 5PM. Let's see how it goes.
Hey guys,
I thought i'd report back.
The good news is that I have a brand new iPhone 5... I finished restoring it from a backup, and it no longer feels like it is going to set on fire. Hopefully the trend continues.
In any case, I brought in my phone to the genius on airplane mode. I showed him that in airplane mode, the device was just fine... cool to the touch, battery wasn't draining, etc. Then I turned off airplane mode. It started to heat up immediately, and battery was draining at over one percent per minute. He seemed pretty surprised and shocked. He asked if he could restore the phone to factory settings. I told him I had already done so, but he insisted. So he restored it to factory settings, and without doing anything, it still got REALLY hot and dropped battery at the same rate. He wrote up a big report to send to HQ, and he got me a new phone.
So that's pretty much it. I'm really not sure if I had a lemon of a device or if there was some bug triggered by something I did in there. In any case, that's the story!
