The back of my phone is hot!

Battery is warm, but its the back bottom part of the phone that is hot!

My 8830 never did that...

What phone model are you using?

[mjr62]

(the tour)

[BrokeStat]

mine is too.. i been messing with it for a couple hours..

[Vicenteoflondon]

same here although i had it plugged into the charger

[eman3320]

Didn't the storm run hot also once it was released?

[Atm0sphere]

same, mines in the charger now, running a few things and it seems to have cooled down a bit.. though, not sure why.

[mjr62]

hmm still very hot

[slinky317]

Mine is running hot too. Glad to see it's not just me.

[Prissy2t4]

I am not having that problem. I have been playing around with it, and it's hooked up to my laptop.

[RGGALE]

mine is warm too...plugged in and charging, not really using it.

[mjr62]

going to see if its just breaking in or something before returning it, but no BB i have ever used before got this hot

(bold,curve,8830)

[pblakk]

That's normal, assuming it's plugged in to the charger.

[mustangz5]

Iv been using mine for maybe 20 mins off the charger and I also noticed that it is starting tt very hot

[trimax84]

That's one of the first things I noticed when I got it!
As I started to set it up, I thought "man this is warm." ...not plugged into the charger at the time either. We'll see over the next few days.

[plyallstar]

mine is as cool as a summer breeze...loving the tour

Its got a Qualcomm 7600 processor in it. Qualcomm processors are well known for the heat that they output. Unfortunately, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

When I had the Touch Pro, the damn thing got so hot that it would stop charging to prevent itself from overheating and it would die right in the middle of a phone call. Thank you Qualcomm for creating such junk processors.

Part of the problem is that the Qualcomm processors are dual core. One core operates the phone and I believe that is at 266 or 233MHz, the other is at 528MHz and operates everything else.

Been using the phone nonstop and no problems with it heating up here.

My mom just told me that her Tour is getting hot! So I jumped on CB to see if other people are having the same problems.. she said she had it sitting on her leg, and it was heating up her leg!! Said it got hotter than a laptop.

Is this just a defect or is this going to be just something we have to live with because of the bigger processor?

+1 No issues here although I live in TX and it has been well over 100 so I may be used to it ;-)

Mine was a little warm when I had it plugged in and was using it but my Curve was like that too so I'm not worried about it.

Our Curves never ran warm, so this is kinda worrisome to us!!

I ordered my Tour online, so I'm curious to see if mine will have the same problem as hers.

[C4WDeX]

Mines warm, not any warmer than my Curve though.

[Ethrem]

Its going to be interesting to see how hot these things actually get. How many people report it, etc.

I don't get why they can't just put a small heatsink in these things...
