My Iphone 3gs battery is getting hot and draining too fast.any ideas?

We have two iphones. Both are 3gs. My phone is going through the battery much faster than my husband's phone. It also gets hot (especially when it was in the otter box, but i've since taken it out). Anyone experience this or know how to fix it?

Mine did that. I think they're just not made right

Funny enough I ran into this question and I think I may have a solution. I tested out my sister's 3GS at my store and found that after a battery replacement, it worked like new. I've also notice that a few of my customer's who had this problem had water damaged and resulted in that problem.

Check the bottom water mark sensor in the charging port, if its RED, it's water damaged and would likely need a charging port and battery replacement. If it is still WHITE and under Apple's warranty, you may want to bring it in and have them check it out.

Hope this helps, good luck!

  • Why is the battery on my iPhone 4S suddenly draining so fast? It used to use a reasonable amount for a smart phone, but starting this week, I can lose 50% of the charge in one day with minimal use.

  • My iPhone battery is draining too fast? My iPhone 5c on IOS 9.1 has started decreasing very fast. It has nothing to do with the update as it started just before I updated my phone. It was fully charged when I went to bed and when I woke up it was dead. I have searched online and done some of the ways to help it but nothing is working, it is continuing to decrease rapidly. Has anyone got any solutions.
