iPhone OS 3.0 causes overheating problems?
iPhone, iPhone OS 3 | Arasha | June 29, 2009 at 2:08 pmRecently a discolored overheated iPhone 3GS was discovered and blogged about on blogs like Gizmodo, Engadget, and PCWorld. I’m not 100% sure, but I do think that the overheating problem is being caused by the iPhone OS 3.0 software update and it isn’t affecting the iPhone 3GS only, it’s affecting other iPhone and iPod Touch devices as well. After updating my iPod Touch to 3.0 I did notice that it got warmer whenever I plugged it in to charge it or played a game. I just did a quick search on Twitter, and it looks like I’m not the only one who has experienced this. I expect Apple to fix this in their next iPhone 3.0.1 or iPhone 3.1 update (which will hopefully be soon!). How has your iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade experience been so far? Do you have overheating problems because of iPhone OS 3.0? Leave a comment below.

Here is a solution that helped me: try downgrading from 3.01 to 3.0 via ITunes and then (if necessary) jailbreak/unlock with redsn0w. After unlock I just restored the content from a backup. After that my battery and iPhone went to normal. Hope this helps.
OMFG!!! i totaly agree… my iphone 3g has been hotter… and i dunno why.. but i think its the battery… stil tanks for posting this thought i was the nly one expeiancing this problem.. ;p
same here
same for me.
i think the battery doesn’t last as long either.
Mine does too. I think its the push notifications. Battery charge seems to last less too. Also I’m in a hot town so I thought that was part of it. It will heat to the point where it won’t charge. I hold it infront of the A.C. vent in the car and that cools it down enough to charge. Interesting that they’ve built a fail safe into the device to prevent charging and overheated battery. And also proof that the overheating is real and not imagined.
My iPhone’s problem is even worst, short battery life and cannot receive incoming calls. i restored it at least 3 times. At first, it worked fine; but when i connected my phone to PC and re-synced, problem happened again. So my experience is the phone will work fine if not re-synce it.
poohbear, then it is probably due to an installed software, not the OS.
I also have experienced the same. Like mojo I live in a warm city, I have actually, when charging it at home, placed the phone in a freezable drink cooler in order to be able to charge the phone while at home!
Apple should make the new iTunes 9 capable to discover iPods and iPhones with OS 2. I got rid of that short battery life and overheating!
i have the same problem too
Yep, thought it was some fluke or something…. My battery life was like back when the SSH was constantly running. I can barely make it through a day without recharging it.
