    iphone really hot when charging

    My iphone had an accident with a concrete pavement so had to get new front and back glass fitted, since then whenever I'm charging it the phone gets really hot, could this be because it wasn't fixed by apple and should i be worried ?

    what charger are you using ? if not a apple charger that could be the problem.

    Mine gets hot sometimes when charging from my laptop USB Charger Plus.

    My first instinct is what Gazer mentioned and check the charger as I have a charger here which has a dedicated port for apple/iphones marked with a specific volt/amps.

    Another thing is to try charging with the Phone off or in airplane mode and see if it gets hot?

    Could you possibly just be noticing it for the first time and sorta just panicking that its not been repaired properly?

    Lastly, the iphone does have an overheat protection and it will shutdown if the device gets too hot.

    I'm using the official iphone charger that came with the phone so I know its not that. I haven't tried charging in airplane mode or with the phone off so I'll give that a try. I was aware that if the phone gets too hot it shuts down cos it happens to me on holiday all the time.
    It's safe to say that I've never noticed it being hot before as half the time I used to charge it from usb on the lappy so know it never got hot, I think I was just more curious to see if this was a known problem with a repaired iphone. Oh one last thing it seems to be taking longer to charge as well ?

    If its a repaired phone the battery may not be official "Apple" product and may be failing, if it is taking longer this could be a show to it begining to fail.
    I suggest do not leave unattended when charging definately & try not to leave alone when just in standby.

    I had thought about the battery but wasn't sure if the front and back glass going hot was a classic sign as well ?

    maybe 2 tins cans and piece if string? Depending on the tins you use they come with there own covers, heinz beans, spagetti, beans and sausages Hidden Content and dropping then on pavements might dent them but they still work. Hidden Content

    Got a new battery yesterday and put it in, fully charged it at 10pm last night and it still has 76% on it, haven't really used the phone today but at the minute it's not hot, so fingers crossed its fixed.
