Iphone won't charge or turn on, and gets very hot when i try to charge it?

My phone was at 6% when i left the house today, so when i got home it was dead. I plugged it in and left it there charging for about 20 minutes. When i came back i clicked the lock button at the top waiting for the apple logo to appear and my phone to turn on, but instead my phone was very hot and the screen was stuck on the empty battery screen that appears when it doesn't have enough battery to turn on.

Anyways, no matter how long i keep it plugged in charging, my phone continues to be stuck on the empty battery screen and refuses to turn on. Can anyone let me know what is going on or if i need a new battery? Thanks!

Added (1). Well i just don't get it because my battery has never given me problems before. It charges fairly quick and lasts the entire day. Granted, my phone is almost two years old.

You need to get a new battery, over time batteries will stop holding a charge. I would take it to a apple store and ask how much a replacement battery would cost.

Try a new charger or clean out the charging port in your phone with a Q-tip or something thinner. If that doesn't work, bring the phone to apple or your phone service provider.

Me Anant Sharma from Nepal. I too had same type of problem in my XPERIA. So you may have just two possible reason for this problem>>
1.either IC of your set has failed
2. Your battery problem

note: never ever show it on local shops. Just go to authorized one.

Past Troubles or not, Batteries don't last forever, so get use to the fact that you might have to change your every few years.

  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • My iPhone 5 gets very hot in my otterbox defender case? Is it just me or does every-time i put my iPhone 5 into a otter box, it gets really hot. All my other cases don't do this but this one it does. Is it just me?
  • My iPhone 4 won't charge and gets very hot? I've had my iPhone 4 for about 2 years, but recently since I went abroad its been having troubles. It won't charge longer than about 40%, but then it looses charge really quickly. It also heats up allot on the back of the phone, and the torch used to be constantly on dimly but that's stopped now. What is the problem and how is it fixed? , thank you
  • Iphone gets very hot when charging and battery dies fast? I took it to Apple and the associate told me that the battery is fine and said I needed to restore my phone back to factory settings. I did restore it and of course, it did not work. That wasn't very helpful. It's still getting hot when I charge it and as soon as I take it off the charger it loses battery very fast. Within an hour I'm back at 2% battery life. Does anyone know what else the problem could be?
