4th-gen iPod Touch overheating

Hi guys, I've noticed this the first day I got it.
It turns out, it only gets hot when it's on full brightness -- or high brightness.
and is in use for quite a while with facetime or on the camera.
I also noticed playing games on full or high brightness; - runs your battery out fast
- also makes the ipod overheat

the only reason for the 4G to "overheat" all the time
Is only because of it's new Camera feature.

But it's still such a beautiful device that is connected to so many Applications
that can just do anything!

Hope This Helped!

My Ipod Touches had the same issue but you dont feel the heat if its inside a silicon cover. without the cover my hands start to sweat.😟

I have 8gb ipod touch 4th gen i have the same issue but mine seems to gt hot when the battery gets low

Also my music seems to get corrupted i don't know if it is related, it might be the nand getting too hot

WATCH OUT GUYS!!!!

I had a ipod touch 4th gen 8gb, i got it for my birthday 😟

but then it started heating up alot on the top of it and not so much the bottom then,

EXACTLY what znz212 said then one day when i was using it the screen went off and it wouldnt go back on!!!!

a great birthday present that was... 😟

when it heats up u gotta standby it

i believe its when u overdo the processor when playing apps, (everytime it heats up too much it burns out the motherboard and the componants inside of it)

im just giving this info out to everyone so it dont happen to everyone elses ipod.

Hopefully one day apple will sort this out. maybe make a cooling case for it or something.

i bought my ipod touch 4g on april 7th this year.. everything went ok back then... but now my ipod touch getting hot when im using any of my apps.. and also at the 1st time when my ipod touch gets hot my battery life degrade for about 20%... im usually playing games with ipod touch for a total of 5hrs or below but now my battery gets drained when i play about 3hrs and 30mins and its to hot to touch.. should i return this to the store?? will they replace it with a new one??? 😟...

For me, like everyone else said, after like 5 mins... my ipod will go from 100%charged to like 10%left...

Also before like yesterday it was perfectly fine... I've had my ipod for about 6months now and i had it jailbroken for about 4 months and it never got this hot... Even though i jailbroke it, can i still exchange it or what do i do? My ipod is so hot that i cant even touch it anymore... and whenever i charge it it gets hot right away... please helppp~~~~ T^T

oh and btw... once in the middle of syncing my ipod just randomly sent me a notice saying...WARNING TURN OFF IPOD OR COOL DOWN BEFORE USE!!!!....with this little thingy⚠ish...

full brightness -- or high brightness. on the ipod touch causes it to heat up, i do a test with mine on full brightess playing a app for 5mins and the back of it was hot after 5 mins of it cooling down i put the brightess down to about 20%-25% and played the same game for the same time and there was no hot heat on the back, apple should put a small fan inside it to keep it cool or an warnning if putting the brightness above 50%

move somewhere cold lol,... i have the same prob since i got a zagg leather sports skin..only 4 times in the last 20 charges it has happened, weird i know

So does any1 no how to solve dis problem ? Dis is like my third day n im goin thru dis problem n its reli scary . . .

keep the screen brightness at 20/25% and there no hot ipod back
