Overheating? (hot to touch. especially the batteries) Do you guys have this problem?

I had that problem once -- but it happened when my batteries were almost dead and the camera shut off on its own, and then began to overheat. I took out the batteries and haven't had that problem again.

Some of the older models reputedly had problems with heat management, but I've not experienced them yet. I've been using a 17" MBP for two weeks now. When it's on AC power and processing a lot it gets hot, but shut itself down? No. When not working so hard, or running on battery, the temperature doesn't stand out to me. Overall, I don't think it gets hotter than my other Intel notebooks-- they all use a lot of power at full speed.

Mine doesn't overheat while playing games, but it gets quite warm due to the placement of the vents near my gaming hand (vents are on the right side and i'm right handed). Also, it comes with a charger and a battery, the battery is removable.

You need to unplug it. I use a thermostat to control it which turns on at 0 deg F and off at 10 deg F also available from Amazon. It keeps the battery from getting too hot.

Not sure if it is normal by your standards, but my three V2 (2 blacks & 1 red) do feel hot after a peiord of use, but they do cool down fairly quickly. Hope this helps.

I don't know about the battery itself getting hot. I typically use my computer on my lap so I put the laptop on a cooking pad.

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

Right now I think thats not a bad idea. When i use it before I go to bed( since it goes off so fast I just listen to like 5-7 songs so I dont need to charge it all the time) the player gets hot quickly. And that surprised me. But thank you for helping me out Rob. I really appreciate it. Its not fair that you get to enjoy your Christmas gift while I'm dissapointed with mine. lol. But thank you for answering. :)

I haven't really used it for any length of time and it was some time ago but I don't think overheating is a problem. The biggest problem with R-Pi is that you have to use a good USB power for it and if you plan to use several USB devices you have to get an externally powered USB hub or you will run into problems.

I've had the battery for about 10 months. Never had a problem with overheating. It works great and hold its charge longer than the original battery did when it was new.

Yes, of course it is hot to the touch, extremely hot! That is, when it works. But then it does not often work. So there is a trade-off here.

If I understand correctly, you are saying after you replace the batteries with two new batteries AND you run the unit for another long period of time, the unit will not overheat anymore?Let me try again when I get the replacement. (I contacted Flip and they offered a replacement. So, I requested a exchange from Amazon.)

I would definitely say that the unit or the battery you are trying to charge is defective. Mine gets warm, but not even close to frighteningly hot!

No. I have purchased several phone batteries through Amazon and they all worked fine. I don't remember any overheating. I will order through Amazon again if and when my I-Phone needs a new battery. As far as "Chasing the Warranty" as Ty was saying, Amazon puts a lot of pressure on it's vendors to honor all procuct claimes or loose the priveledge to sell through the Amazon website. In my experience, the vendor has been all over it when I've had an issue. That's another reason to love the power of Amazon.

When I charge mine, yeah, it does get warm but not too hot. With all the great specs and the size of the phone in regards to being so slim, yeah, it does get a bit warm while charging and then does get hot, but not too hot, when playing certain games on it. But besides all of that, even when it does get warm, I havent a problem at all in regards to any issues with it
