How's your signal strength?

Mine does get noticeably warm as well, I am questioning it's reception as the potential reason. Haven't had an issue with dropped calls though.

My reception seems good...the warmth of the phone is a little unnerving

I have had only one instance of the back getting warm. That was when I was playing NOVA 2. No issues when downloading or talking on the phone.

Mine got REALLY warm when I charged it last night. Other than that, though, no issues.

Mine only got a little warm after watching 2 hours of a movie on Netflix, an hour of gaming (nova 2), and an hour of music - but not really noticeable at all. I also have a TPU case that fits tightly and has NO air vents at all. I hope it's not a defect with some phones or a process in the background that is continuously running causing the over-heating.

ACK! I saw this post on xda-developers, that's worrisome!

It happened to me twice so far too! I can't remember if I had it plugged in for charging the 1st time, but the 2nd time, I had the car charger plugged into it, and the display screen on. When I went to reach for it, it was so damn hot that I knew it was a problem. I quickly opened up SetCPU and saw that it was at 121 degrees! I quickly turned it off, pulled out the battery and could smell the plastic! I thought of holding it in front of the AC but then was afraid of warping the board.

My phone never got hot. It did get warm when I first got it but that was expected as I was messing around with it for over an hour. Other than that it's been perfectly fine.
