i've searched for previous answers on this topic and didn't find my specific issue. my incredible has been overheating when i use the internet. this is something i've noticed only since the 2.2 update. today it got as high as 125. at times, i am in a bad signal area, but it still shouldn't overheat the phone. just now, i was in a good signal area, did the same thing, got to 118 before draining the battery and dying (went through 20% in about 15 minutes). this only happens when i use the internet, so i don't think it's a battery issue. i am using the 1500 bidallies battery, which has not given me any problems at all in the months i have used it.
i went ahead and had verizon send me a replacement today (verizon rep: "oh, wow, you have a way to see what the actual temperature is on the battery? that's cool!" ...sigh). the phone is otherwise just fine, with just one previous episode where it freaked out and overheated just sitting there on my desk one day. it hasn't done that since (that i know of), but the internet overheating thing is a problem. it makes it next to impossible to use the internet, because even if i can ignore the burning on my hand, the battery gets eaten alive.
i'm really not pleased about having to take my chances with another refurb. but i'm not sure what my choice is. anyhow, has anyone else had this problem? i wish there was an app that would somehow cool the thing down. i also wish i knew why the phone was overheating when going on the internet. so weird.
