Galaxy Tab car dock - hi temperature

[brunino1967]

I have recently purchased the original Samsung car holder.

After my tab reaches the 100% full charge, it beeps and advise me to disconnect.

If I don't do it, the tab itself begins to overheat after some minutes.
It oveheats really hi ! On the right side of the tab.


It seems like the car charger is not able to stop charging, differently from the house 220V charger.

Have you experienced something like me with your car charger ?

I have been using the car dock, sinds the beginning. Cannot say that i have noticed any excess heat. Note: i have used a brodit clip to install it on the air vent. Nicely in front of me without blocking line of sight.

All the phones i had "overheated" when connected in a car dock, having a forced air flow over it quickly eradicates this problem!

I use my tab in my car using the usb cable and a generic usb 12v adapter and it doesnt overheat, even when using the tab heavily (screen full bright, Torque app, and Pandora).

Ok, thanks for all your answers.

Could I ask you all, if you use bluetooth in your car?
I use bluetooth ON to stream music from SGT into my car stereo.
I mean it could be an overheat problem caused by the bluetooth antenna, isn't it ?

I have bought the original dock nearly one year agoand it overheated only one time (car standing in the sun). I use my tab with Bluetooth and wifi activated.

New experiment:
I have put it in the car dock, no wifi, no bluetooth. Only 3G + Google Navigator were ON.
It reaches 100% and after become very hot (in the right side)!

Now I need to try again with display off, and 3G off; only power charge.
And finally I will understand (as I suspect) there is something it's not ok in my car dock (I remember you that with my original home plug cord all is ok !)

Adding to my post earlier, and answering your question, my audio is through bluetooth while I am running those apps.

It's even two bluetooth connections... Pandora and Torque at the same time.

Yeah, i think you're right. Without being an expert: Sounds to me, like it doesn't deactivate after the battery has reached 100%. As I understand.d you, it becomes hot after it is loaded to full capacity, right?
You should try to exclude all functions, that may be the source of this malfunction. Put it into flight mode and just try loading the tab. Then start activating single functions like wifi etc. After that, you can try combinated function.s like Bluetooth and wifi.
