    Does anyone feel it? Sometimes the finger print scanner gets pretty hot. When the scanner gets hot, it cannot be used to scroll webpages. Does anyone have the same experience?

    Not in my P7000...it's metal and is conducting heat from inside the machine, but that's really hot if you can't touch it comfortably. Which model?

    Mine is S7020D. It sometimes gets hot for like 10 minutes or so and then cool down as normal. When it gets back to normal temperature, it can be used to scroll webpages again. Btw, when it's hot, I cannot put my finger on it more than 10 seconds.
