Yes, that's typical on Android devices... mine does too

 

[solentlife]

Yes ... correct. Its part of the reason you have such a large battery capacity in the Controller !

Could you explain further ?

I've never seen any official on why the remote charges android devices from Dji, but it makes sense to keep your device powered during flight, particularly in cooler weather. The amount of power draw from the remote's battery is nothing to be concerned about as even while charging your device it will outlast the aircraft battery. Its nothing to be concerned about.

The heating up is likely being caused by the tablet's cpu working very hard to run the app, not from charging.

Th capacity of the controllers battery is far more than needed for just controller use. The extra is most likely there because unlike the Std / SE ... the Adv and Pro P3's use USB cable - which unless you modify a cable connects the power sources.

As to the heating up ... the tablet is now not only running a reasonably intensive APP but also having charge pushed at it ... the two together cause heating of the tablet ...............

iPhones/[pads also "charge" when connected to the controller, it's a function of using USB.
