My phone overheats when playing most of the Gameloft games (Asphalt 6 HD, Modern Combat 3, 9mm HD, etc.) It also overheats when I'm doing a lot of multitasking jumping back and forth to different things all with the brightness off. I have a battery widget that tells me the temperature and i have had temps as high as 102 - 111 F. Even if those numbers weren's accurate, the phone is burning hot to the touch, I can feel it burning through my pocket. The battery also drops very quickly when the temp hits these levels. I've also seen it spike if i'm on 4G and using the phone (gps, texting, calls, etc.)
Talked to a Sprint rep and they weren't helpful gave me some nonsense about closing apps, running apps....blah blah blah. The only helpful suggestion that i had received (after multiple trips to different stores and talking to different reps) was that gingerbread is not really equipped to handle or utilize the dual core. Ice cream sandwich is going to handle the dual core chip set (who knows, makes sense sort of since gingerbread was out before the whole dual core if i'm not mistaken????).
I was just wondering if there were any other solutions out there??? Reading the previous post weren't really helpful. I know that when the phone overheats I have to stop using it for a bit til it cools down. Sometimes I take the cover off, back plate, and sit it on a cool surface.
