I be using my 4g a lot.. and my phone be getting really hot.. whats the max temperature dat my phone can go without over heating my phone??
 
my phone got to 105 and it was super hot... i even took the battery out cuz i thought the phone was gonna melt or somthing lol
 
Yeah... I have already burnt myself once with the phone 'cause it was too hot!!!
But I've noticed the phone auto-shuts after a while, if the temperature gets waaaay high. That is, long after the battery stops charging because the temperature is too high (!).
I'm at a loss as to why the phone gets that hot, and what negative repercussions this has on its life, at the moment. I know it can't be good, though, since after all, it is an electronic device, and the internals do melt when they reach a certain temperature...
My VERY BAD fix for now has been to put the phone in a freezer for about 15 minutes when it gets unbearably hot and I really want to keep using it... But I don't recommend it to others. Leave your phone in the fridge too long, and you'll have a very expensive piece of ice ;). Not to mention the problem with possible moisture/water damage!
 
The high heat comes from the fact that the LTE antenna uses a lot of power and most of it is wasted while the antenna is sending/receiving. Wifi uses very little power and causes no heat issues for me. Its just a metter of reducing the ammount of power the LTE uses to reduce the heat thats generated.
