Hello this is my first post here.I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s i9000 that i bought a week ago. I downloaded Pocket Legends from the market and when i play it ,the phone seems to overheat,the back side of it is really hot,especially the upper part. I thought that the processor might be heavly running to support the graphics and that might be the reason, but i am a little afraid cause i dont want to burn my phone.So,is it normal if the phone overheats when playing good graphics games?
Sorry for my english and if i posted in the wrong place.Thank you.

Hey I have the same thing when playing 3D games and web browsing.
Recently I was playing Pocket Legends and my phone got so hot it went black and into safe mode.
Anyone can help with this? I made a similar thread.
I have a Galaxy S and I don't have any problems while browsing or playing 3d games. No heat whatsoever. You should go to the nearest service and get it looked at if its still in the warranty...especially if it turns off because of the heat.
I have been using Darky's ROM and have been having trouble with pocket legends. Everything would be good and all, then it would freeze. No force close, just hang and a force reboot would be needed. Does anyone else have this?
Love this tablet but this last few days it has started to get really warm on occasion.
On the left side, about an inch in from the SD card slot, the temperature really builds up quickly starting first on the back of the device and eventually getting so hot on the glass it becomes uncomfortable to hold and to swipe. I've seen 48 degrees!
I have noticed this happening when using Dolphin HD browser and particularly if Skype is running in the background.
I wiped the tab, didn't reinstall from market and just loaded Dolphin and it didn't make any difference.
I'm guessing faulty device since there are only a few isolated reports of this online.

Really strange, Phil. Based on your recommendation in "other" forums I turned in my Nook Tab and got a GTab7Plus and I'm just lovin it. Does everything I'd hoped it would do and more I haven't even figured out. So far, (knock on wood) I haven't gotten the Screen of Death nor has the unit gotten hot for any reason and I'm using dolphin browser exclusively. So......you may have a defective unit. Good luck.
Yeah, I think it was faulty. I took it back to Best Buy and they had not had any other returns for this issue.
Unfortunately they are also out of stock so I don't currently have a tablet at all! Seeing what is coming down the pike in the way of tablets I might just wait and see what transpires in the next 3 months. If I get antsy then I'll just pick up another GT7+ (or back to a Nook Tablet if the CM9 project advances quickly).
Also, do you see a color cast on yours at all? I noticed that when there was a white background, for instance reading a book on Kindle or Nook apps, the right lower side of the page had a warm tinge - pink/peach colored. It was quite irritating.

FloridaPhil:
I have received my 7+ and downloaded and installed the Nook and Kindle apps without a hitch. The Kindle books are fine but I seem to be having a problem opening my Nook books. Darn, I am in the midst of a great book and hate reading on my phone.
Any tips on how best to install and manage my Nook ebooks? And, I have a 32gb sd card which I haven't installed but plan to tonight. Will that make a difference? Should I "format" the card before installing on the 7+? How does that work?
Thanks a bunch!
I noticed on the nook software that I needed to open the software and then reopen it before the book would load. Second time is a charm I guess.

Mine as well, in the same location as you specified too. Gets damn hot in that location with I'm using it in the car for navigating with Google Maps and it's plugged into the charger. Also in the same scenario the charge level is still going down and not up
I' ve been using VTL Launcher and had some previous issues with my home wifi (couldn't reconnect so my tab was always trying to find it again and again). After resetting router and mainly uninstalling VTL Launcher my tab stopped to be hot and battery life increased rapidly. So I was almost decided tonreturn it due to this problems but since then everything is finally ok and start to enjoy this tab (previously had GT7 original and Note).
Regarding navigation with google maps- consider that there is also huge use of data amount so warmness is probable. I'm using Sygis Aura and has no problems with hottness and also not original car charger has enough power to charge on the roads.
So far haven't noticed the tab getting hot. Just trying to figure out how to use Kies. What a friggin nightmare! Why have they not simplified the Kies interface? It is so convoluted!

Interesting - but mine was totally stock. Yeah, I had added a ton of apps but it was running regular TouchWizz. My little Nook Color running CM7 has exactly the same apps and doesn't even get warm.
what are you using kies for? my computer (win 7) didn't recognize my tab until
i installed kies, it also installed drivers so i can now transfer files
To FloridaPhil: And how long is your battery life? Is wifi ok? Well I' ve noticed then, that our tab doesn't have still very apropriate task managing and this can be causeb exactly by this. Take a look in settings, applications and battery use...I couldn't believa my eyes but even I'm using good task manager with automatic shutndowns of slected apps, there are still huge amount of running apps that drain battery and may cause getting hot. Next thing as well was a fact, that even when wifi connection held perfectly, there was still word 'searching' each couple of seconds (take a look in wifinsettings...)- so next possible reason for getting warm...

It's only searching because your at the wifi settings screen. If you are at the screen where different wifi networks can be selected, android (logically) thinks you might want to select a different network, so scans. If you STAY on that screen, it assumes you want to keep scanning (why else would you stay on that screen?)
This is something that all wifi enabled android devices do. It's NOT scanning every few seconds if you aren't on that specific settings screen...
Gary
Thanks Gary for reasonable explanation, yes this is logical. I was just confused from this, cause not Galaxy Note, nor previous Tab or Streak was behaving like this. But is true that this is my first honeycomb machine and I may not realise this before or it had been different in settings.

My Galaxy SII (gingerbread, AT&T, SGH-I777) does this as well. Even my iPhone does it.
I'm using Kies Air to wirelessly transfer and synch my contacts, calendar, etc....... Experimented and have transferred photos and some other files. Also worked using the USB cable and my Windows 7 recognized and installed drivers. It recognized the SD card as my E drive.
Regarding the heating up issue, so far I have not experienced this. The battery use is under control when I turn off all wireless when I leave my home.
Getting used to the Touchwiz interface but I also installed Go Launcher EX and use that sometimes.
Video playback is awesome on this little tab; last night I was watching movie trailers and was surprised with the sound as well. The Nook's sound was always a bit weak.
I installed an anti-glare screen film and it is awesome for reading. Doesn't detract from the beautiful display and the fonts are crisp.
Regarding opening my Nook books I realized that it worked as soon as I installed my SD card and I downloaded my books so I wouldn't have to deal with having a wireless connection to read my books.
Playing around with the wallpapers and customizing the Samsung screens and installed a super cool "steam punk skull" live wallpaper and it is amazing! Found it free via the Amazon app store....it is fantastic! I also found other beautiful live wallpapers via the Amazon app store including snow scenes.
The tab connected flawlessly to my Samsung Galaxy 4G T-Mobile phone's access point and used that to stream Pandora and download some Kindle books. It was done in my office which doesn't have the best T-Mobile network access and it was surprisingly fast and smooth. No stuttering of the music and emails and Facebook worked great.
I ordered the 6' long usb cable for the tab via Amazon and it has shipped; hopefully it is well matched and charges up the tab just as well as the stock 3' shortie cable. I noted other comments regarding the slow charging of the tab and found that turning off the wifi or simply shutting it down speeds up the charging dramatically.
So that is my report so far and let me say I am enjoying the 7+ tab immensely.
It got to 40C (104F) today while I was playing GTA. The device it's naked (no covers or anything). I'm going to take it to service centre next week :-(

Well i guess thats pretty normal, mine goes up to 42C sometimes.. I guess it depends on your surrounding and climate.
You sure it's a normal thing (this temperature range)? I'm here in Thailand so the ambient temperature is hot to begin with, but the thing is; with prolonged used my hands get uncomfortable.

Just told my wife, she said her galaxy s2 gets hot as well, so I asked her to touch mine ;-)
She says it's about the same. So i really don't know what to think any more, but I'll take it in anyways just for peace of mind.
Hey guys my laptop recently died and I have been trying to decide if I want to enter the tablet world. I do however have a few questions that I am hoping you guys can answer for me. First off I have been looking at the samsung galaxy note 10.1 ll, my question is how do I go around the whole flash issue? I guess that is a big set back of mine that I am trying to outweigh. Also with the lack of a usb port you can't transfer songs over to a ipod (ps that is the only apple product I own, refuse to buy anything else of there's). I want to be sold on it, so someone help me out, and educate me. I am not into the gaming aspect so no need for a computer in that aspect. Thanks for your help and advice =)

Galaxy note 10.1 and note 2 are different devices. What you want is the note 10.1. The PC is for loading up the ipod. Or you can get an SD card and store it on your tablet. Or you can upload all of your music to google music and listen to it anywhere you go. The main benefit of this device is the S-Pen. You can take notes and draw easily. You can also hover over links to get more information. If you are using this for strictly entertainment and productivity is not an issue, I would suggest the new ipad. The screen resolution is like 3x that of the note :< That being said, im a student and will most likely be in academia for the rest of my life. There really isn't an alternative to the Note 10.1 for me....

You can also buy the special Connection Kit and have an USB port connected to the tablet port where you can plug an USB key and transfer your favourite files.

It was designed for Galaxy Tab 10.1, but it works fine on Galaxy Note 10.1 too. I've got it and it is pretty useful. I recommend you buying the original Samsung one. It's a bit more expensive but it really does the job.
There is a limitation on the connector kit though, you need to connect a powered HDD, a 2.5" unpowered HDD will generate the "High powered USB device detected" error and it won't work... You can use flash drives though.
Well first for background, I have the Thinkpad Tablet and am currently considering this one. I like to use my tablet for hours during some days, continuously, and that's where the Thinkpad Tablet failed me a lot. There were a lot of issues in general, like deadzones on the screen and such, but also some like the pen disconnecting from the tablet and stuff of that nature.
A lot of the problems only appeared to happen about 10-20 minutes into using the tablet, so I guess my question is, has anyone used this tablet for long periods of time, and has it performed well? I've played around with the Wacom Bamboo tablet for a while now (which is a much cheaper option, I guess), and that is really useful, as well.
Just sitting here deciding between the Galaxy Note 10.1 (~$450), just using a Bamboo Tablet and a second monitor (~$150), or perhaps the Galaxy Note 8.0 (~$300?). Any thoughts?
It's no Cintiq but I'd say it's almost as good as my little bamboo.
I use it for hours at a time and have had no problems. I would say that the cable that comes with the tablet is short and has a Samsung connection so using it while it's charging a problem but the battery is not terrible.
Overall I'm happy with it as an artist.

A few weeks ago my friend just bought a used Galaxy S6, the Metro by T-mobile variant. When he presses the microphone button to record his speech to text, it does not stay on as long as my phone does, the Samsung Galaxy J Star. Recently while it was turned on he said it looked like everything on the screen slowly went black and the phone shut off. He is going to get another phone tomorrow. Any ideas on what's wrong with it, and would it be worth it to use that phone the Galaxy S6 over the Samsung Galaxy j7 Star which I currently use? I'm not sure which phone is faster or has any advantages over the other since even though his phone was the flagship model 4 years ago and mine is a mid grade, but mine is 4 years newer.
The Galaxy S6 froze up twice. Is that normal for a phone that old?
The S6 is definitely miles ahead of your J7 Star whatever, as it's much more powerful.
However, the fact that it froze twice in a few days indicates that there might be a hardware problem with the phone itself.
I'd say the best thing to do is get it, completely wipe it and use it for a couple of days and see how you like it and how stable it is.
