Help phone crashing warranty issues

[andydroids]

so a few months back i unlocked the bootloader on my phone for the sole purpose of upgrading to the official google release that had flash (was only available for the tmobile version).

since then i had flashed the phone back to the proper rom and had used the regular system updates for months.

however, i seem to have a common hardware problem and am not sure how to approach it. i know what i did unlocking the bootloader but am confidant that i did not break my phone.

the phone tends to overheat and reboot on me, sometimes it will vibrate seven (7) times before coming back and will crash even if a website takes too long to load.

the phone actually works fine when its cold such as after being in my pocket outside for a while.

not to drag it on but this appears to be a common problem, im just not sure what to do with the unlocked bootloader. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

that sounds like a hardware problem rather than one of bootloader or software.

my advice is to have it cheched for any damages in hardware.

Send it in HTC will advise you if it's covered or not, be fine in my opinion.

Andydroids - what jurisdiction are you in - eg USofA, England, Germany... ??

Your legal rights vary by where you are, regardless of what it says in Google's or HTC's terms & conditions....

thanks for the replies guys, i will see what i can do with HTC. im worried about sending it in and having them say that i owe $200 or something for repairs due to the unlocked boot-loader even if it is a known hardware problem.

im from canada and ordered the phone online directly from google and paid with google checkout, it was shipped from the US. i moved to serbia though but can send the phone wherever is smartest, i have friends and family in all countries involved.

wondering what my best option is

Like others have say'd ,the unlocked bootloader souldn't be a problem for the warranty !
In case it is ...you still have to check it for a hardware issue !
There are so many N1 users out there that have no problems with the phone ...so it's not a software issue !
