My ipad 2 starts to feel warm to touch after 30mins or so of usage. is that normal?

It's usually during normal web surfing or playing of videos. the back starts to feel warm to the touch where the batteries are located.
is it normal?
and also, it heats up pretty significantly during the charging process.

Hi Illaass,
Thanks for the reply, but where do I find the Genius Bar in the Apple Store? Do you mean the one in iTunes?
I've been using my iPod Touch to read books and a fully charged battery basically lasts me approximately 10 hours of continuous reading. I have yet to test out the battery life as suggested by Apple, whereby I'm supposed to take note of the music layback that I can get on a fully charged battery. I was planning to do it after you first replied but I found it too much of a hassle and therefore, have not gotten myself to do it.

  • I started latest update but it says it will take 9 hours! is that normal?

    I just started to download new ios 4.3.3. but it says it will take 9 hours! is that normal? I can't possibly leave my phone and computer downloading all night!

    No, not normal in any sense of the word(unless your connection is that slow). Could be the servers are getting overloaded as you and everyone else in the world try to download this update. Try again later, like tomorrow.

  • Playing a jigsaw puzzle on my ipad4, after awhile the screen starts feeling warm to the touch?

    When playing a jigsaw puzzle on my ipad 4, the screen feels warm to the touch.

    That's normal. It's only abnormal if it gets too hot to hold.

  • Are all New  iPad facing the same overheat issue? My new iPad also feels warm at the back.

    Are all New iPad facing the same overheat issue?
    My new iPad (wifi 64G) also feels warm at the back.

    It varies. The difference between 'warm' and 'hot'. As in warmer but I can touch it vs too hot to comfortably handle.
    ANd it doesn't seem to be all new iPads. There does seem to be increased heat because of the different battery and the retina display as explained above. There also seems to be some of them - maybe a few from a singular batch/factory that seem to put out what has been termed excessive heat. I would think if it were a universal issue then there'd be something more aggressive being done.
    You can always take it into your local apple store and have them look at it and document that you have a concern, but they may say it's just normal heat associated with the prettier display and new battery configuration.

  • Screen on iPad Air Feels Different When Touching Than iPad 2

    i just got an iPad Air and while it works great, and the screen is responsive, it feels different when I touch the screen to do something, than my iPad 2 did, or the iPad Mini w/retina display I had for a day before exchanging it for the Air. Both of those, as well as my iPhone all feel firm when you touch/press it. In fact, I always thought that "typing" on the iPad 2 was annoying because it did feel like there was no "give" to the screen. But in the case of the iPad Air, there is a distinctly different feel when touching, pressing, typing....it seems to give a little...it's a little "spongey"....it feels more like touching plastic than glass perhaps...
    Does anyone else notice this? Could it be because the Air is so thin? (But so was the mini and I did NOT notice it there).
    In all of this I am concerned that there COULD be something wrong with the screen, although other than how it FEELS, there are no other signs at all of a problem.
    Any comments are welcome...thanks.
    Jeff

    Jeff, first excusme for my English i write from Spain. I also remarked different the iPad air screen than the previous model. I get the feeling that it is harder to answer, especially on the sides. Also sometimes when I want to deploy a tab id hard to "obey" the first time.

  • My ipad has started jumping from app to app. Games act erratically. Not all the time. Any ideas?

    My ipad has started jumping from App to App.  Games acting erratically.  Doesn't happen ALL the time. ANY ideas?

    Close all apps in the recents tray completely and reboot iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close ..close them all! Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Ipad not starting up after complete drain

    I'm charging the iPad using the wall adapter. Because I saw online it said it's good to drain the battery. I usually use up the battery before charging it. But these few days I kept having problems of charging.
    Now the iPad displays a low battery image. This usually shows up when we start charging after the complete drain. It used to be very fast to start up, but it has been showing this even after 2, 3 hours. The ipad won't start.
    This problem only started a few days ago. At first it won't charge, but after one day it seemed to be charging normally again. But after that, it charged very slow sometimes. It charged only to 2%.
    I saw the discussions, there are a lot of people having the charging issue.
    My ipad is still under warranty, though it's going to expire soon. I know that I need to send it to repair, but I need to back up first. Without turning on the ipad, I can't even back up now.

    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through one charge cycle per month. Not every day.
