Hi,
My TF101 seems to get warm when charging. I didn't notice this with the other ones I used, but perhaps I just missed it. Can anyone else confirm or deny this happens with theirs please?
Thanks.
Yup it happens, nothing to worry about, it also gets a little warm when running a CPU intensive app.
Yeah, mine heats up a little bit when it's charging as well. I can still hold it though, so I'm not afraid of it being too hot.
I decided to do a quick test to see what the temperatures really were... The unplugged temp was after I had left the screen on for 30 seconds and haven't run any games/applications recently.
Plugged in temperature was measured after being plugged in for 5 minutes and screen on for 30 seconds.
Battery temp unplugged: 24~25C
Battery temp plugged in: 26~26.5C
So not too much difference but I'm sure if you were using it while it was charging, it would heat up a lot more.
It's a common effect for many portable device. My EVO 4G gets fairly warm, my old iPhone 2G got super warm, my laptop gets piping hot, my Sprint Overdrive gets a bit warm. The only portable device that doesn't get warm while charging is my BB 9700.
Yep, mine gets warm to when its being used, in the right-hand quarter in back. But when I say "gets warm," I mean literally just a tad warmer than the rest of the unit. It never approaches "really warm," and certainly not "hot." I can't say if the Xoom ever gets warmer when in use because I've always used it in its case.
it should fine..
the charger itself is not warm..it's actually very very hot...

I heard about ASUS update FW this week.
However, you maybe go to RC (repair center) for updating the newest FW.

Never really felt it before you mentioned this but... you are right, it is really hot.
Also, when I touch the dock lightly while charging, I can feel it vibrating.
Mine is always at about 101 degrees just surfing etc? is this normal? or is it too hott? games get to about 110 or whatever. Charging about 104 degrees.
Also, I noticed a bubble under the battery on the phone. Its just like the sticker didnt stick and made a bubble. I basically flattened it down, but it dont look perfect, but should I be worried about that?
Reason Im asking is phone feels warm and battery is draining. Damn we really need to get rid of this BLOOOAT.
I found a primary culprit to be screen brightness. I'm not saying WiFi and processor intensive apps won't do it, or GPS, but I have had to settle for about 40% screen brightness or I get heat and a battery that drains really fast.
Barely gets warm, might be my own heat from my hands. Using wifi with screen brightness low. Does get a little warmer charging, nowhere near hot
My Phone too gets warm during use espcially using GPS while driving and charging. 45degC ~ 113degF was the max so far.
Screen brightness seems to have an effect on warmth of case, for sure, as well as battery life, obviously.
I think mine gets the hottest when I am surfing on an adapter, using WiFi, and GPS. That's only logical.
I'm thinking T-Mobile pushed something to my phone over the last couple of weeks though since it does not get as hot or blow through the battery as fast, and they also solved a corrupted video issue as well.
When I keep my phone on & just charge it up while its idle, when its at 100%, the phone is hot to the touch. Once I take it off, it cools off in 5-10 minutes. It also starts to overheat when I play games on it for at least 5 minutes. What could be the problem?
Do you have a custom rom or kernel on the phone. Mine gets mildy warm every now and again but nothing serious.
Id suggest reverting back to stock rom using your ruu and use it for a bit to see if it happens again.
i had a similar problem. my phone would overheat and not charge or charge fast enough. also after a short use the battery level would plummet. i fix the problem by changing to a new charging plug.
It shouldn't get that warm at all.
Infact, I noticed that it actually cooled down once I plugged it into the charger. I was playing a 3D game and I noticed it was getting warm, but also the battery was getting low, so I plugged it in and kept going for a bit longer, the phone actually started cooling down. I thought it was the game making the hardware heat up, but in fact, it was the battery heating up due to the power drain
Perhaps a custom rom could cause it, but I am already running mikes 6.5.2 with the 1.5Ghz firmware. But im sure others will vary.
Perhaps, if nothing else, and you're ok with taking the back off the phone, check the contacts, both on the battery and the phone, make sure they are clean. Resistance can cause heat.
I have not noticed this before i sent my Transformer in for an RMA, but whenever it is charging from a low battery percentage the back of the Transformer becomes warm to touch. It is not warm enough to be uncomfortable but it is noticeable, and i was wondering if this is normal?
When charging from complete 0 or very low for a long time mine gets warm too, it's normal. Especially since the charger is a 15V, that throws out alot of resistances. The charger itself also gets very warm, but has a built in switch that flips if it gets super hot, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Happens with mine too. I always assumed it was normal.
For some reason all of a sudden my G2 decided to just overheat like crazy to the point that it's too hot to handle, just turning it on for 10 mins already is very warm (like from cold to warm that its worrysome warm) could this be an issue with the battery or motherboard?
