Hey
I just bought a galaxy tab 4 7 inches and am loving it , anyway while using it i realized that sometimes it warms up from the bottom of the device around the home button. Is that normal?
Thanks in advance
Anyone ??

It's either the battery or the cpu, you're going to have some heat during operation, especially with that Marvell cpu, it has to work harder
Normal.

But the heat is from two different places, where one is near the camera (cpu) and the other one on the bottom which I have no clue what it is from.
Heat from battery discharge

Do you have the same tablet?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I get a lot of heat from the top/camera area. I figured It's just normal CPU heat since it always happens under load.
Assuming the layout is the same as Tab 2 & 3 7's, which with out a doubt Samsung didnt change it, battery was on the right hand side, all other internals on the left. The battery runs the whole length of the tablet. From bottom of the camera down to the bottom of the screen and probably/roughly 2/3's width of the tab. So 99% chance youre feeling the battery which is normal.

I had the 7" for a few days and noticed heat. But it is well within normal limits, and with a case you can't feel it at all. It will shut off before it over heats.

Same hear,you can feel a little bit of warmth after a hour of live hd streaming. But my phone gets ways more warm than the 7.0

Thanks, I was just trying to make sure that what I am facing is the norm.. And it would be great if someone else could also confirm that there is the warmth around the home button too.

this seems pretty strange, but sometimes when I swipe my finger to scroll or during a game, I swear I feel like a dip in the screen. problem is I can never recreate it. I would scan the screen with my finger to try and feel for the dip, but never find it. this would occur randomly during normal use, so wondering if anyone else had this?
Is this a joke?

Try rubbing your balls over the screen,there more sensitive so you can find that dip,I would also recommend having some porn running on it so you cover the dead pixels

Its obviously his skin folding under itself when he runs his finger down quickly. Then it unfolds and he feels a jump

Put one hand on the N7's hip, and then you'll feel the dip.

Or more likely a spot of grease/misc human slime and he perceives the increased movement due to lubrication as a dip lol.

Phones always seem to get hotter while charging anyway
That's roughly 39-40C which is normal for a smartphone under constant usage and/or load. My Galaxy Nexus was around 38-39C whenever I used it for extended periods, that's nothing to be worried about.
My single core 1ghz galaxy s is AF 40° charging, browsing web and on xda. Your fine.

It probably just feels really hot because of the glass back, but as everyone has said, that's not too hot at all, pretty normal, especially when charging.
Thanks guys. So what temperatures should I look out for?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Don't worry about it, OP. The phone will throttle itself to lower the temp if it gets too hot. In an extreme situation it will shut down. The engineers took care of this. It'll be OK.
You remind me of first time parents who boil everything before the baby can touch it. By kid number 2, they just pick the pacifier up off of the ground, wipe it off and pop it in the kid's mouth.

Hmm idk about that. My Sensation did get crazy hot when I used the Chichitec battery in it but when I switched to the Anker battery I rarely noticed any heat anymore. But this N4 seems to be up there, maybe a little more than I ever felt my Sensation.

Lol You're fingernail at the time you were using your s3 must have been short, thus allowing your finger as well to touch the screen without you noticing it. And now that you use your nexus 4, you're fingernail is long again..

I never said the screen sucks. I said the touch sensitivity does. And I was using my nail as a comparison between the s3 and n4 screen touch sensitivity.

Really? What are you touching then when you're testing the sensitivity? Do you even understand how capacitive screens work?
The sensitivity mod allows you to tap with the back of fingernail (i know i tried lol). It uses the earlier touch driver, but it does have the side affect of making the phone stall for a minute or more when first booted up; but if used with the supplied modded stock kernel you only have this happen once, also 'Matr1x' kernel also has this feature.

Even if I put my finger on the screen slowly without adding too much pressure it will not recognize the touch...try it.

Can you scroll on your home screen or click on apps with your finger nail?
Can you tap on an app with your finger ever so slightly, but definitely make contact with the glass, on an app icon or keyboard, and no action happens? Meaning the app doesn't open or the letter pressed isn't typed in...

Wow most of you are assholes.. I stopped reading after the 3rd negative response. Does anyone know what an example is? That is what the OP was saying when they said they could select things with their fingernail. It does not mean that they want it to do that but only showing an example of its sensitivity that their other phone had and I can tell you that you CANNOT do this on the Nexus 4 unless you push somewhat. My GS2 would scroll with no issues by grazing the screen I actually have to push before doing the mod.
There is a temp fix and it works fairly well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I think the speakers and/or the camera and flash serves as the exhaust.
the glass back is meant to transfer heat out(thats why it gets warm with use, thats why its glass).
I notice that compared to other devices I've had the N4 gets very hot..

it actually doesnt get as hot as most devices. but you can feel the heat more, because of the glass back. if it was plastic/metal, you wouldnt feel as much heat. it just means that the glass back is doing its job right. my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 get much warmer, but it isnt felt as much because the backs are plastic.

Far as everyone mentioning the glass back, I thought glass was an insulator, not a conductor (something like aluminum or such would dispel heat, glass wouldn't necessarily, as it's an insulator).

You mean aside from your USB port, headphone jack, edges around power and volume button, around the LED light, and speaker hole? Honestly I think people are making a mountain of a mole hill out of this, has anyone actually reported a Nexus 4 exploding in their pockets? (from overheating that is).

Not a big deal but I could use the N4 as a heat source to keep warm in the cold... If it wasn't 100 degrees out that is

Hello everyone!
I bought my gn3 about a week ago and now i noticed that the lighting isn't even????
Did i damage it or note 3's have this issue?
its visible when the brightness is set to about 30% and on a gray background. its most visible on the left side of the screen (like a slightly brighter tint or something)
can anyone check it on their devices as well for me?
Thanks!
Edit : it's not only on the left side it's all over the screen. when I open the phone app I can see the background isn't one color but scales of dark grey and I think it's supposed to be black.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It's like that and there's really nothing you can do.
Except trying to find another N3 that doesn't have that, or at least in a smaller scale, but good luck with that.
And next time, do some Google searching...The phone is now more than one year old, so any other problems you encounter, you definitely wont be the first one.
