Battery getting hot, when plugged in.

[iMore Question]

My battery is going dead while phone is plugged in & phone is very hot. Just wondering what the problem would be?

Are you doing a iCloud restore?

Are you using a Apple Certified charger??

could be any number of things... bad cable... try an alternate cable first... then check the charging port for issues... and refer to qualified service personnel if you can't remedy the issue.

What model phone do you have? How old it is as well as the battery? Is the phone Jailbroken?
