Common PS Vita hardware problems?

Hello.

Now the Vita is more than 1 year, what are the most common problems that PS Vita users are encountering? are there any so far? If you'd use the vita normally how long would you think its lifespan would be?

Some of us have noticed that when you play certain games, the Vita will announce that it has lost its network connection. This might be like an energy-saving feature, though.

I assume you mean don't tweak anything to be less power consuming. I've never used a full charge gaming in a single session, but it seems to last at least 3 hours. Though I did tweak my settings.

the thing used to freeze alomost everyday when I would put it on sleep mode for long periods of time. that hasny happened since like march though. Havent had any problems since

Haven't experienced any real problems. Machine crashed once and that's about it.

I don't think I've heard of any problems really surface with the device. The biggest "problem" I've heard of is blotchy blacks when the screen is all black (like when loading a game), but that's a side effect of OLED.LongZhiZi

I have had my PSvita since the Feb 15th 2012 early launch. I have 20 retail games and all or the free Throw-away download games for PSvita. So far no hardware issues. The PSvita has not failed in anyway. Unlike last time with the PSP 1000. Sony launched with the infamous Value pack. Those early PSP 1000's had deal pixels. Sony's attitude was tough **** live with it. They didn't really care back then.

But with PSvita this system works like a charm. Sony's customers service hopefully has improved by this point. PSvita is a great system no hardware issues this time around.

Good to hear there isn't anything wrong with my Vita, as I just got one and noticed the screen looks kind of weird when it is just black but fine the rest of the time.

Also, gets warm when playing uncharted for a while. Gets hot after a charge. Good for winter gaming, not so much in the summer. Not hotter than an iPad 3, though. dogpigfish

it has high end mobile tech in it, of course its goina to get hot. 99% of tablets get hot when watching a video. so don't worry and enjoy your vita.

I've had the system freeze up on me twice since I got it. I also had a few hiccups with the wifi, but other than that, it's been pretty smooth.

No problems at all with my Vita.

The touchscreen sometimes stops responding completely, especially if it gets a little moisture on it. Restarting the system does the trick, though, and it's pretty uncommon.Granpire

happened only once for me and this was when I turned it on after sleep mode.
I'd say it's a pretty solid and reliable device!

Just bought a vita from my co-worker this week, SO glad that this is nothing to worry about!  I was freakin out that my vita was messed up.

picked up my vita back in june/july and really enjoying it. the games i have for it i find really enjoyable.

i have noticed that on the rear of the device where the information is below the rear touch pad, over the CE bit there is a slight bump, not sure if this is where it has warped from heat or something whilst charging. anyone else notice this on theirs?
