12.2 tablet overheating

[Elizabeth_28]

My tablet gets hot and closes apps with message device is overheating. The tablet is hot in the camera area. What can I do to fix?

Is this happening when you are running on battery power alone or when charging? Does it also happen all the time, or only when you have been doing certain things on the device (like playing games, etc.,)

The heating is with all apps but some apps heat the tablet quicker. FB is not an app that causes the overheating quickly.

Hmm... it sounds like it may be the battery itself. Try rebooting the tablet and see if it effects it. If not, I would look into replacing the battery. You can do it yourself, if you feel comfortable doing so, and probably find a few videos online that can walk you through it. If not I would try a local tech or repair place.

Unless it is under warranty still, then you should check with the manufacturer.
