N9 gets hot with multitasking

[butilities]

Hi there, this is my third N9 replacement i got from Nokia Australia, 16 Gb Cyan. The old problem persists with this device that is noisy camera and video under mid/low light, youtube shows time error, and it gets hot with multitasking 3 - 5 applications. I have updated with PR 1.1 and the problem still exists. It gets even hotter when using 2.5g connection and multitasking more than 3 applications. Should I get a new replacement or this is what N9 really is?

With 3-5 apps that's not good, unless they're all heavy on the cpu, and I can't think of 3-5 apps that need so much power. Is it really hot for instance like a computer or just warm?


Anyway, best peace of mind is to get a replacement since it may have a faulty hardware, which I suppose would be your 4th but just bad luck maybe?

I think Its warm, when just multitasking, but gets hot when multitasking with 2.5 g connection on.

mines always been in a cover. Never noticed it getting hot! Mines from Denmark. Maybe this is a dodgy batch?

Mine in the cover too, but still feels its hotness at the back and on the glass as well. Bought it in Australia but made in China(written on the box and imei).

maybe you need to change the network mode or something, i had some similar issue before when my phone was in dual mode then i kept it at 3g mode it solved the issue of being too warm sometimes.

[erendorn]

camera is apparently always noisy (possibly firmware), youtube is certainly firmware. I wouldn't change because of these.
The N9 getting warm is more puzzling.

Should it gets warm and hot or is it just mine?

I've never noticed any warmth except when it was charging.

[butilities]

Mine gets warm while charging as well.. 3 applications are facebook, messaging and playing cutetube downloaded video with wifi connection.. it gets warm.. anyone with this problem?

Mine got hot once only, when i was downloadingwith wifi many videos from youtube, but i think its the same with all smartphones when u push it to heavy downloads.

My N9 got slow only once when i tried around 20/25 apps same time to test multitasking limits, but it wasnt hot. It gets slow also when i go online for facebook chat in my contact apps, coz i have 1600 facebook contacts to check and deal with, but it doesnt get hot.

But i have to say that the N9 is very very sensitive to few changes u can make in the settings, a permanent 3g, or a double network then te phone constantly changes it, background internet connection or not, clear wallpaper, 60% of light or more for the screen, and the battery gives you few hours using it, maybe 6. Its a problem for me i'm a bit deceived about that. I dunno if we compare both systems but my N8 with symbian anna after one year has a lot more battery life, with permanent 3g, high lightning for screen, automatic checks for emails and a lot of web browsing...

Thats the main issue for me, stay on 2g, do not update every 30mn automatic feeds, or your battery will be really poor, like you have a sport car but can't speed with it.

Extensive 3G traffic makes the antenna go hot. Otherwise my N9 doesn't get hot at all, even with more than 10 apps open at a time.

i think i got a defective unit again.. this is frustrating..

It's good to read this, because my N9 indeed didn't/doesn't get hot when using WiFi and multitasking, but when I started to use 3G (mail, RSS, Facebook, Firefox, ...) I noticed it got warm. Not HOT, just warm, front and back.
