Ok, I've unlocked my phone, and switched over to AT&T, so I have to watch my data usage (1.5G data/mo).
I looked for a GPS app that worked solely off the internal GPS and not the a-GPS that uses cell towers & data. I found Navfree (USA) and had to download maps (using wifi). While doing so, the phone got really hot and my battery moniter app popped up a warning about it overheating. I tossed it in the fridge and it finished downloading. Then when I ran the program, after 5 or so minutes with it on, it again overheated. I tried several more times but turned off the program when I felt it getting hot.
I know I've played games with in on for long periods w/o it overheating so it's not that it overheats when the display is on, plus I've downloaded before w/o heat issues. Is it something with the GPS chip that is overheating? Or is it my battery monitor that is causing it? Anyone else using a GPS program that isn't data related?
I popped the cover off, it's not the battery that gets hot (does feel warm tho) but just above it, like near the connection, under the SD card and camera flash.
Thanks, Andrew
