My iPad heats up very fast! I thought it was a normal thing until it stopped responding. And the other day it displayed "iPad needs to cool down before you could use it" message.
What should I do with it, it's still under warranty.
Also the wifi keeps dropping is that normal too?
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
What's the ambient temperature? Did you use it outdoors / in a very hot environment and/or with a very tight case that doesn't radiate heat? While the iPad indeed has termal protection, I've never seen that message printed on any of my iPads. And I'm a power user having several iPads and using them to watch videos even in the sauna.
If your environment isn't very hot or the case you use isn't air-tight, then, it may be a faulty iPad.
The iPad is warm no matter what I do, eg browse Internet, watch a movie, etc...
I usually use it at home, we have a/c. No case
And I guess I'm going to take it to the nearest apple store thanks
Yup, if there's no case AND it isn't exposed to direct sunlight, then, it's indeed a HW problem. I use my iPad 3 in much worse / hotter environments in a full leather case and I've never seen such a problem - your iPad MUST be faulty.
The new iPad problem, "iPad needs to cool down" and other times it freezes and stops responding
