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 :)

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.

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.
