So what do you do when you want the heater on? Doesn't that heat up your phone?

Close the vent. Most newer cars have an inside and outside vent closure. If I close the inside vent, I can still mount it to the outside vent. It has not bee cold enougb yet for me to try it.

I'm wondering the opposite, does it keep the phone nice and cool when the A/C is on? My iBolt is mounted on the window and my phone gets ridiculously hot.

I live in Southern California I haven't used the heater in months. But when it does get cold enough to use it I might have to adjust the heater setting to blow air out of the floor/window vents.

Do you thermometer? at what temperature is your water?. Is because you have the water too hot, the heater has thermometer so it turn on when is needed.

My phone has gotten hot, but I don't think it is because it is in a case. I usually give it a rest. My last phone got hot A LOT... this one has only done it to me once and as someone else said, it is probably from heavy use. I shut off my phone and let it rest a bit and it cooled down quickly. If this is not an option, closing all the apps not in use and just letting it sit for a little would work too.

Warm, but I wouldn't call it hot. I throw my phone in there all the time when I come back from business travel weeks.

Yes, I almost thought that the heater was not working. I just use as hot of water that I can stand and forget about the heater. We have chalked this purchase up to a poor choice.

I leave it on all night when I have company staying upstairs ....cold...and vents do not heat the room, but I clear it so nothing is near...like blankets, etc, use it as only thing plugged in, and if you have pets keep them out of the room....it's heavy, which is great, but still you don't want these to fall over...as with any heater.

No, which I consider a good thing. If you want it turned off then you need to turn it off, otherwise it produces heat (which what is supposed to do).

If you can you can connect to your thermostat on your phone you can program it. It's a thing of beauty. I keep this thermostat set at 50 when I'm not there. 150 miles away from it I program it to 68 and by the time I get there the place is warm. Must be a smart phone. Hope this helps.

you can set temp where u want it at and leave it..whenever it reaches that temp the heater will turn off and back on when it needs to reach the temp that you set it for......basically...set it and leave it.

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

Have you tried pushing the heat switch on the back of the unit to the "on" position?

Yes you can leave it on all the time. I never had problems with my phone overheating, even if it was in my pocket.

Not while on the phone, however if you keep raking it off and putting it back on it will (the black rubber part). And I didn't have a problem with the battery over heating.

Yes you just plug it in to heat it up. I love it. You just need to be careful with the latch...some people have broke theirs, because they don't know how to use it.
