Hey guys. the top corner on the back o my tab gets extremely hot while the screen is on. like Very hot, on the back about an inch and 1/2 below the volume rocker. is this a known issue or should i take it back to bestbuy and get it exchanged?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thats where the processor is. Are you overclocked? Mine gets warm, but I believe that's because I have it in a case and there is no room for heat dissipation. Heat will kill electronics, so make sure that it does not get too hot.

I would return it, it does not sound normal... I have my unit overclocked at 1.4ghz (on demand 216-1400) and been playing PSX (playstation emulation uses a lot of cpu power) games on it all day... It doesn't get "hot", I haven't even notice it even get slightly warm and I have mine in a case.

ok, next question. how do i unroot so they dont give me a hard time?
Unfortunately this is just another consumer with his or her mind poisoned by companies who sell worthless cooling products for electronic devices.
It requires an education in electrical engineering to understand what is "hot". You cant simply feel the back of your device and guess that it is hot when you have no idea what the temperature even is and when you have no idea what temperature is hot for electronics.
Chips can run at 80c which is getting close to water boiling. If the back of your device does not burn your skin to a blister then NO, your device is not running hot or anywhere near warm.
Education is key to understanding our reality.

doesnt burn my skin or blister, no. but it is hot enough to the point where i cant hold it in that spot because it feels like its going to. its like putting your hand on xbox that had just been run for 10 hours straight
As stated before, the tegra 2 does not produce anywhere near the power dissipation to overheat even when overclocked.
I have to ask again, what is the temperature of the back of the unit?

That sounds pretty nice! Thanks for the link.
If this research actually finds its way into the mainstream market in a few years like they claim, I would be really surprised. It would be sick though to have 10,000 mah batteries in the same size as our 1500 mah deals right now.

Tell us how that goes lol.
I read this on CNET. I wonder what the price differential will be? This is a big game changer for mobile devices as well as EV's and people who have battery/generator backups for their home and business.
I didnt even think about EVs. That would be a major game changer.
Imagine you would only need 10% the batteries to provide the same power/time. That significantly reduces the weight, meaning you could add in a few more batteries adding more power, while reducing weight. This leads me to think it is going to be expensive. Someone wants to make their money. Dependability always = more expensive! lol
I'm pretty stoked about the 15 min charge cycle lol.

If it pans out that the technology does work, the only reason I see it taking so long to implement is patenting. But if the moron Obama has his way, the only thing you will need to file a patent is an IDEA not even a working product -_- . Way to help pricing/competition.

As for EV, this will be great for car manufacturers and bad for gas companies.
Think of how powerful we can make electric cars if the batteries can store a ton of power. They could be much faster than gas powered cars because they have full torque at 0 rpm.

Ok so i just heard the news, aparently the new iPad has a heading issue, when charging and playing games it can overheat to over 100 degrees!

I think you got your units mixed up. The reports are that it's heating up to just over 100 F.
edit: I just noticed that you caught your error.
ya the original news report i heard had it mixed up, but still thats pretty hot, i wouldnt want to be holding that, or accidentally fall asleep when a game is running, might cause some damage
this is the beginnings of a huge issue down the road for new ipads. watch what i tell you. those devices won't last long St all constantly running at those high temps. people will get sick of their device shutting down on them and message popping up saying device needs to cool down. one thing about apple fans, they love to complain when there is an issue and they will let it be known. so expect this to continue to get major tech press coverage as time goes on. this could eventually become a fire hazard if its left on plugged in. device runs so hot and causes a fire or shortcircuit the wall adapter, which could cause a fire. everyday at those temps and new Ipad chips won't last longer than a few months before burning out or burning some other component up. some even reported half of the glass getting very hot to the touch. one reason could be because apple is pumping 2x the power into display to keep it running. it uses a very un-efficient way of back lighting the display. I saw it in a tech article where they broke down new Ipad display saying its good but far from perfect. Samsung has to jump through hoops to make that tricky display work.
Well, I exchanged my iPad 2 for the kids at local BB. Upgraded to iPad 3.
Few days of use and my little girl complained to me that the it actually burnt her. I guess she had it laying on her lap.
I didn't have a cover on it. I took the piece of crap back and demanded a refund. They have the old iPad 2 back now.

35°C ? Not much .. my prime is much hotter when I'm playing for 2hours withs super ips mode. Same this for sgs - 50°C or hotter. 35°C is not so much.
Wait a minute. A hundred degrees F? So a whole degree and a half higher than normal body temperature.
Is this a problem in devices the size of tablets? I'm new to tablets, but that's nothing compared with the old 939 CPU in my tower.

seriorously? that is crazy. you should've sued apple for it and let all the news media know so it can get serious press on it...lol. time for apple to be exposed. things are heating up on this issue...lmao
Ya, it can be uncomfortable for some. My prime runs nice and cool reguardless what games im playing.
I gladly take a reduced screen resolution for increased performance, not to mention the increased heat is going to cause damage to the battery.
And there are some reviews where if you have it in direct sunlight and start something intense the increased heat from just being outside can cause it to shut down!
You might not think one or two degrees makes a difference but consider if you have a body temp of 100F you likely feel really sick. If your body temp hits 116 like these ipads are getting, you are likely dead.
Anyways, i hope you all had a good smile at this, too much negitivity towards the prime on this forum hopefully this lightened the mood a little
100 degree must mean Celsius as most cpu run between 50 to 80c. 100c would be out of control lol. If it is burning her lap its more than 100f. Although, if the case is running 100f without proper cooling the cpu would run MUCH MUCH higher.

Ya, the CPU is likely much higher. The reports I have seen are saying the case itself is reaching 116 degrees F (specifically after running Infinity Blade for 45 minutes). Also, under normal usage the iPad 3 runs 10 degrees hotter than the iPad 2.
I can totally see this blowing up in apple's face (I can only hope). This may result in a recall depending on how it plays out. Because it's not just the heat thing, they are saying it is drawing so much juice while playing a game for example that the battery won't even charge when plugged in. And as others have mentioned, heat and electronics don't mix well.
I don't want to start Apple bashing, but the list of problems with the 'New' iPad put the TP problems into perspective.
There are reports that the battery won't charge:
http://gizmodo.com/5894988/people-are-having-trouble-charging-their-new-ipads?tag=apple
& there are WiFi problems:
http://gizmodo.com/5895145/does-the-new-ipad-have-wi+fi-reception-problems
It seems that many devices can have (widespread?) issues. Unfortunately, some people on these forums seem to be exaggerating the Primes problems and it becomes very difficult to properly evaluate the situation. The problems with the Prime have been magnified to a hysterical level, I wonder if the same will happen with the iPad...?
I hope the problem with the heat is a result of the GPU. That put all of these people to the rest who complain about Tegra 3's performance. It's easy to build a big chip with such a performance. But it's complicated to control the heat and power consumption.
Icook..best seling Ipad app
Now I just have to get an Ipad 3...cant wait for the first developer to make an app called Icook, can you imagine taking a morning break from playing games, then turning the Ipad over and frying some eggs and bacon on it for breakfast!! Android has lost son??!!!

it will. Asus and prime was ever as popular as apple. so our issues were only major to us. it isn't like our issues get national t.v. press coverage. anything apple does is under a microscope. so when the mess up, they do it big. plus apple complainers are some of the loudest voices heard. this will soon enough generate t.v. coverage. I didn't even hear about the battery not charging up issue. SMH. so the reality behind new Ipad launch is really starting to show. apple will have it worse because they sell in such large numbers. meaning huge amounts of people likely to have this issue. I smell another lawsuit coming apples way. they deserve it since they always want to patent troll on smaller companies.

I heard a spokesman for Asus say that there was less than 1% of Primes that had reported problems. That's not to say that only 1% actually HAVE problems (my GPS doesn't work well enough for navigation, but I don't care because I never intended to use it for that) but less than 1% of Prime customers are dissatisfied with their devices. That seems about right to me, given that almost all of the complaints that I see in these forums seem to be from 1-2 people who got bad Primes.
To put that into perspective, I read a quote from an Apple spokesperson who said that "87% of (new) iPad customers are reporting no problems." That means that 13% are reporting problems. That is ridiculous.

Here is the link for the "87% perfect" bit: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1343130

Here is my pet peeve again. Heat.. I love this phone. Best phone I've had so far. The ONE and ONLY thing that is bothering me is how hot it's getting. I've made threads before for other phones asking if the heat is normal but this blows those out of the water lol.
I've come across a couple threads asking about heating issues but there weren't many responses so I'm just curious if this is happening to everyone?
Maybe because of the material it's made out of that we're feeling more heat.
I ask because I have 14 days from today to return it if anything is wrong and I don't wanna go through exchanging phone after phone after phone because they all have quality control issues. If it is indeed unusual for it to be getting so warm then I will have to exchange it. I just can't imagine what it will feel like in 85-90 weather..
Same with my phone. I thought this was kind of abnormal, but the only other smartphone I've had was the Sprint Epic 4G, which I've always used a ginormous case on... so probably couldn't feel the heat as much as using my One naked. I love the cool metal feel when you pick it up immediately, but I HATE the heat. It starts happening after browsing the xda app for like half an hour.

I read that the aluminum on the back is acting as as heatsink. It may not be getting hotter than other phones but it just feels like it is. I'm not sure. I wanna get some more opinions.

Lucky! The heat thing is my ONLY qualm about this particular phone. If there are many others with "cool" phones, I will probably consider swapping it out and seeing if it makes a difference.
Weird. I will test and report back. This would suck in the summer if so.

Aluminum is a great conductor of heat, most heat sinks are made of it. I have a droid DNA which is very similar to this phone and it also gets hot, but I dont feel it as much because of the plastic back but the battery temperature shows about the same levels between the 2 phones.
This phone has 4 cores that are running almost at 2 GHz plus a GPU. And said cores have to refresh over 2 million pixels at 30-60 fps. The phone is gonna get a little warm

Get an app that monitors the battery temp and see how it compares to other phones.
Just checked my battery temp thru Battery Info app = 31.6c - 88.8f. Seems pretty cool to me.
So far the only time I've noticed my phone getting hot was after laying out in the sun for an hour.
I don't play games on my phone though, I really just use it for web surfing, music, texting and taking pictures.
My GS2 got hotter.. so I haven't been too concerned.
I can search the web or go through this app without it getting anything but warm.... Start gaming though and it gets pretty toasty after 15-20

Hello everyone.
I bought my Z2 from Amazon.com. So, As you know, We can replace the phones in 30 days.
I'm in USA for now. And I'll return my hometown after 25 days later from now on.
Here is my problem:
I bought the Z2, and I was aware of that issues that "Heating, Gap between speaker, self-cracking issues etc". But Still, I bought It because I listened my heart and the Z2 the is best phone btw.
The Problem that is blows my mind : The Over-Heating. I'm not talking about the "4K Recording over heating" I know that I have this issue and I don't care about this.1080p is still good.
The thing that I care about, the phone is getting warmer after using 10-15 minutes.
For example; I tested In room temperature, 20-25 C, I've played the game "Hungry Shark" about 10 minutes. Phone got warmed but it's acceptable. After 5 minutes more, It was like I heated the phone under sun and I don't like that.
Even in browsing, Facebook, whatsapp, or other applications, my phone gets warmer too quickly. And while charging, even without using my phone, It gets warmer a little bit.
Anyone who has the same issue or this is really normal ? Should I go for a replacement?
Because I've upgraded z2 from my retired Desire HD and It never get that much warmer.
I appreciated. Thanks.
I'd day that's completely fine. My Z2 heats up quite easily to. Battery is atm 38 degrees and I'm only on WiFi and using XDA app. Glass conducts heat much worse than for example metal (or so I think ). Also since the phone is waterproof and thus sealed it heats up more easily. I doubt that you have to worry about the heat, unless the phone gets really uncomfortable to hold. If it gets too hot it will throttle down and ultimately shut down to prevent it from getting damaged.

Glass is an insulator, metal is a conductor other than that +1.
Please bear in mind you've upgraded from a 1ghz single core CPU to a quad core monster, I'd be astounded if it wasn't getting appreciably hotter.
Its gonna make a very high tech hand warmer in winter time, thats a bonus

I really appreciated your answer. I hope that it is true that there is some kind of "over-heat protection" or something. But still I'm thinking about it because many other phones, I mean LG G3, they don't have such kind of issue.I mean I've never heard about such kind of thing on forums.
I don't want to say goodbye to my Z2 because I really love the feeling of it. But I have to decide before I returned back to my hometown.After that, it'll be impossible to get a replacement. I want to emphasise that after 4 years, I upgraded my phone and I'm not that kind of person who changes his phone after using it 6 months .
I want to use that phone like for a long time. And something brand-new which is overheating... Makes me think.
Thank you for other answers, and that bonus feauture make me laugh
So, Any other answers from Z2 users ?
I thought u can only return your phone within 30 days if it hasn't been used?. Are u after a replacement or refund?. I got mine from amazon uk, and also have heating issues. My 6yr old always complains it gets to hot when he plays games, never had that issue with my 5s.

The G3 has overheating problems. My G3 idles at 55degC and during gaming It got very,very hot. It also dropped frames during gaming due to the thermal throttling.
In comparison my Z2 is cool.
I've not had this issue with my z2. It maybe because I don't play games and its winter but general browsing and string HD over LTE only make KT slightly warm. And obviously it only gets warm towards the top where I expected the processor to be. People shouldn't expect processors to stay warm. Even the latest Intel processor can idle at 30 bit the minute you put stress on it, its gonna jump several degrees. This should be a given for any processor
