GO PRO - do you have any advice fir this. I'm rather disappointed as I missed part of his tournament and the video quality isn't as good as it would have been on my gopro.
Anyone else have any tips or thoughts? This is the first time something like this has happened with the wifi and bluetooth off. Is there sometimes a delay after un plugging from a computer before the gopro turns itself on?

Hi @mikevfly
I am sorry if you weren't able to record this wonderful moment. Its such a big one as it is his first time joining the tournament. I'm a big fan of MMA myself.
The only reason that I can think of why the camera will heat up (when not plugged in) is if it was left on/recording for a long time. Did you check if there was any recording saved prior to the time you took it out of the case?
My suggestion is to do a manual software update first. After the update is completed do a factory reset. (Preferences> Factory Reset)
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Ej

Sad to see posts here going back 2 years, with no apparent fix. I just bought my GP 5 Black, and updated the firmware. Mine turns itself on unless I turn the wifi off. Seems to be a rather inconvenient thing to have to do, and a problem that should have been addressed a long time ago. Any hope for a true fix?
