Overheating and battery drain after Fall

Chris, that's correct. The phone can work without the camera.

my iphone 4 gets really hot when charging , also by battery is draining quickly ???? dont know what the problem is

Check the battery out, try replacing it but I don't think it could help much... Most probably problems with the logic board. Usually it acts like that after water damage...

similar problem: overheating as above, and after about a month the logic board died completely. i bought another phone (older and with many signs of wear), swapped the board - same issue. swapped the battery - same issue. seemingly must be some other component. the camera suggestion from Linda gives me some hope - was it the big, rear-facing camera? i will check this. any other suggestions? would love not to test components one by one.

Same problem and the resolution for me was :

Reset all settings !!

if this doesn't work change the rear camera !

i can confirm replacing the camera can rectify it. even after a restore the iphone 4 was running hot (even power button felt hot!) and massive battery drain.

there was a tiny chip on the front screen by power button indicating a fall.

replaced the camera and now the iphone is stable. not hot and no drain

"Everyday's a school day" they say

Have the same problem in a water damaged iPhone 4S here at the mo battery drain went from 87% to 64 in 45 minutes and phone was not being used was only in lock mode..

Charged battery to 87% again and used battery in another 4s an in 1 hour battery dropped to 79% and that was being used a few minutes on Facebook.

Have taken out camera now and testing again will update on progress

hi all just an up date have tryed everything with this 4s and still really bad battery drain even disconnected every connector on the motherboard and still no help.

i let the phone run out of battery to see would it charge up and it wont it just shows the apple logo for 3 seconds and repeats. tryed battery in another phone and it charged up fine... in all water damage has won this time

In my case Linda was right. I just opened the phone, remove the faulty camera and now the device works like a charm. Until you mention it I haven't notice that the camera can't focus correctly (I almost never used it). I have just ordered the camera replacement, but in the meantime I can live without it. Thanks.

so it is possible to use the iphone 4s without the camera plugged in?

hi all,

just wanted to report that it was not the camera.

Is it maybe a battery problem?

The battery has a weird "hole" on the backside, could this be the problem? You see the image within the attached link.

my iphone 4 gets really hot when charging , also by battery is draining quickly

i dropped my phone about 3 weeks ago and shattered the screen. when i got it replaced i was told that the motherboard was messed up and so far my screen has been slowly breaking (the touch doesnt work in certain spots). im just curious because my phone has also been heating up and the battery has been draining really fast (today it was at 68 and i had the screen locked for 30 mins and it went down to 30%) i honestly dont think the heating and battery draining is because of the motherboard so i was wondering if anyone could tell me if the camera thing should work?
